Mushroom City was bustling as usual, with all sorts of different vehicles zipping around the metropolis as a race has finished up. The regular green shelled Lakitu that handled the racing venue watched as Paratroopa and Diddy Kong came last in the Toad Kart.

"This kart's a hunk of junk!" Paratroopa exclaimed as he shook his head, being behind the wheel as he moved his hands about. "I never should have switched my personal kart for this!"

"Well, you should have gone with my kart! At least it's heavy!" Diddy commented as he moved his hands about.

While Paratroopa and Diddy kept arguing with each other like an old married couple, they crashed into the wall, with Lakitu chuckling as he shook his head.


It started to rain as thunder boomed in the eastern direction, with a red robed Snifit and red shelled Lakitu watching from the top of one of the many skyscrapers in the city.

"Hmm... rain." Snifit commented as he sighed, shaking his head as he looked down. "It always makes me feel so depressed. I don't know why."

"Maybe it's because the rain puts a damper on nearly all outdoor activities." Lakitu commented as she rolled her right hand about.

Snifit sighed as he folded his stubby arms together, not feeling better. "Or maybe it's because of how unimportant we are as beings."

"...That's deep." Lakitu replied as she placed her hands on her face.
