"You know what I like the most about this place?" A Goomba asked another Goomba as they looked down at the bright sea water from the coastal cliff.

The second Goomba blinked as he turned his head to the first Goomba. "No. What?"

"How nice, calm, and peaceful this place is." The first Goomba commented as he tilted his head back, closing his eyes.

The second Goomba smiled as he looked up at the bright, yellow sun. "Yeah... I guess you're right."

The two Goombas enjoyed the sound of seagulls and waves coming in as suddenly they were both ran over by Dry Bowser and Funky Kong, who were both racing on different Piranha Prowlers.

"Did you hear anything?" Funky asked as he scratched the top of his head with his left hand.

Dry Bowser blinked as he shrugged, shaking his head. "Nope. Not a squeak, or anything." The two continued driving throughout the tropical course, heading to the river section.
