Toad and King Bowser Koopa were both in the Mushroom City, simply taking a leisurely stroll around the metropolis during the night as they spotted the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms himself in all his scaly green reptilian glory, the Rhedosaurus, attacking several of the vehicles that were coming and going. Toad and Bowser looked at each other as they blinked.

"That reptile definitely has a strong sense of popping up in the most unexpected places," Bowser commented as he placed his right hand on his scaly, yellow hip.

Toad moved his hands about as he nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I wonder why it suddenly appeared. I mean, you think it would head straight for the ocean."

The two then watched the Rhedosaurus knock down one of the skyscrapers, roaring loudly as he marched on the highway, knocking several vehicles to the side as he moved his head disjointedly, heading southward. Bowser noticed all of the damage the Rhedosaurus caused while Toad kept watching in awe, not believing his eyes.

Dry Bowser, who was doing some typical skyscraper jumping, watched as the Rhedosaurus was causing collateral damage below. He folded his skeletal arms together as he shook his head.

"I swear, these racecourses attract more attention than the generic, platform specific courses," Dry Bowser mumbled to himself as he was referring to the typically bland Mario platforming levels, continuing on with his skyscraper skipping.


Toadette was racing alongside Paratroopa in the Bullet Blaster kart, zipping through the packed city as they were enjoying the high speed of the small kart when they got knocked back by the Rhedosaurus, who was knocking cars to the side like toys. Toadette and Paratroopa both screamed as they fell off the kart, with Paratroopa landing in Toadette's arms.

"This... is awkward." Paratroopa admitted as he turned his head to Toadette.

Toadette nodded in agreement as they watched the Rhedosaurus' tail knock part of the highway off, also seeing the Mushroom Kingdom military being summoned to deal with the monster. "Maybe it's best if we just went somewhere else..."


Birdo and Petey Piranha were both having a date with each other in the fancy Boomerang Flower restaurant recently furbished, when suddenly the Rhedosaurus walked past by, ripping off the roof and hissing at the customers as nearly everyone ran away in fright. Birdo and Petey both looked up, unable to believe what was going on.

"I didn't order a monster attack!" Birdo remarked as she jumped into Petey's pouch, who began taking flight as he moved his big green leaves like wings.

The Rhedosaurus roared as several missiles were fired at it, with them not being effective as the Rhedosaurus attacked them. Petey and Birdo turned their heads to watch, with the giant Piranha Plant gliding high above the Mushroom City.

"That is one angry dinosaur," Petey admitted in a Gilbert Gottfried like voice as he simply shook his head in disbelief.


"...And in other news, there's a monster attack in the Mushroom City," Stated the television report on an old wooden television set King Boo was watching in an apartment he rented out.

King Boo scoffed as he rolled his eyes. "I'll believe it when I see it." He then felt the entire apartment shake, looking outside to see the Rhedosaurus attacking it. The ghoulish king sighed as he shook his head. "I need to keep my mouth shut."
