Mario was racing along in his trusty red-colored standard kart, having a quick round with Birdo. He was gaining on the pink Birdosaurus, when suddenly, he slipped on a banana peel, swerving around as he headed to the right side of the grassy racecourse. Getting his rear into gear, Mario started again, tossing two green Koopa shells at Birdo, one of them actually hitting her.
"Oh no!" Mario gasped as he jumped out of his kart and ran to Birdo, holding her in his arms. He took a moment to stare at her, before both were rammed into the sky by Bowser, who was riding in his orange colored kart.
"Gwa ha ha! Suckers!" Bowser laughed as he took off towards the western direction.
