Toadette and Mario looked at each other as they turned their attention to the large gorge in front of them within the cavern, all of the red bouncy mushrooms and green normal mushrooms suddenly gone. The two racers were anxious, both on their Standard Bikes, waiting for one to make the move.
"You wanna attempt-a?" Mario asked Toadette, sweat pouring down his head.
Toadette was trembling, shaking her head back at Mario. "N-no thanks. The darkness makes me gassy."
Mario sheepishly chuckled as he looked down the bottomless dark gorge, his face turning pale as he fainted. Toadette gasped as she watched Mario fall off his bike, deciding not to take a chance and get off her bike as she tried waking Mario back up, not having luck.
