It was a gorgeous day in Delfino Plaza, the premier city of Isle Delfino. Dry Bowser, Petey Piranha, and Toadette were all walking around the front harbor of the city, standing before the Grand Pianta Statue and the bright water before them.

"Wow! I would like to go swimming! The water looks great!" Toadette exclaimed as she held her hands together.

Dry Bowser and Petey glanced at each other as they turned to Toadette.

"Didn't you just eat those fruit we got at the stands back there?" Dry Bowser commented, referring to the promenades they passed on the way to the front of the city.

Petey nodded in agreement as he moved his giant leaves about, mumbling that it was not a good idea.

Toadette scoffed as she shook her head, moving her arms. "Hey, I'll be fine. A little swimming never hurt anyone!" She then jumped into the water, giggling as she resurfaced, only to hold her stomach in pain as she screamed. "Ouchies! Cramp!"


Big The Cat was fishing on the wooden pier at the starting point of Ricco Harbor, with Froggy right by him as two Pianta sailors looked at them oddly.

"That is one big cat," The blue Pianta sailor stated as he had his hands on his hips.

The pink Pianta sailor moved his burly hands about. "Yeah. I know we have several strange creatures living here, but that guy makes them look completely normal!"

Big was oblivious to the comments from the sailors as he was kinda dozing off, not really paying any attention as he was enjoying the great weather and atmosphere of the harbor, trying to get lunch for himself and Froggy.

"Don't worry, Froggy..." Big droned loudly as he blinked slowly. "We'll get a big one real soon..."
