Koopa Cape was bright and sunny as usual, with the Koopas racing all over the coastal course as Donkey Kong and Bowser Jr. were gliding across the air above it.

"Hey Junior. You think they the Koopas care about so many people racing around here?" Donkey Kong asked as he turned his head to the left to face Bowser Jr.

Bowser Jr. shrugged as he faced Donkey Kong. "Maybe. Maybe not. After all, they're just Koopa Troopas."

"Generic mooks have feelings too, you know." Donkey Kong commented as he moved his right hand about. "They may not be specific individuals, but they have lives of their own."

"Yeah, well, they're not really that special. Unless they actually can make a difference, I couldn't care less." Bowser Jr. replied as he shook his head.

Suddenly a lightning bolt item was activated by a racing Koopa, with the lightning striking the gliders, causing them to catch on fire. Donkey Kong and Bowser Jr. screamed as they went crashing down into the salty waves of the ocean above the underwater pipe, both of them rising to the top as they looked at each other, both of them being completely wet.
