Dry Bowser was using his whirling fortress attack to reach the top of the volcanic Corona Mountain, briefly resting on each side of the volcano's inside walls as he headed upward, jumping onto the puffing clouds. He then managed to reach the top cloud, jumping onto it as he looked up at the ceiling, to see it blocked off.
"Damn! There goes my way of getting to the outside of the crater," Dry Bowser cursed as he folded his skeletal arms together, shaking his head as he sighed. "Oh well, at least I reached the top."
The dark clouds gave away as they broke apart, causing Dry Bowser to fall through it as he broke into several pieces on the platform resting in the yellow magma. He sighed in annoyance as his skeletal body parts all combined together, shaking his head as he placed his skeletal hands on his skeletal hips, looking up and sighing as he noticed all the clouds were gone.
Inside the giant casino in the basement of Hotel Delfino in the beautiful Sirena Beach, Luigi was serving as a card dealer to several people inside the casino, with the players being a yellow colored Toad, a purple colored Pianta, and a red colored Noki, with several others watching.
"Man, I am sucking at this game," The yellow Toad commented as he shook his head.
The purple Pianta chuckled as he turned to the Toad. "Don't feel bad. I'm sure heaven will bring luck to you."
"Ha, fat chance." The red Noki taunted as she stuck her tongue out at the Pianta. "You both know that I'm going to win easily!"
Luigi sighed as he shook his head, giving each of the three players their cards. "What did I do to get myself in this predicament..." He muttered to himself.
Tiny Kong farted as she stretched her arms out, walking around Delfino Plaza as people ran away from the gassy monkey, trying not to breathe in her farts. "Ahh, it feels so good to be out here, enjoying the fresh salty air...!"
"There she is, get her!" Exclaimed a blue Pianta police officer as he and several other Pianta police officers all jumped on the gassy Tiny Kong, crushing her.
"Oh, why me...?" Tiny groaned in pain as she tried to struggle out, but couldn't.
"G-goodness, are you sure this is okay, DB?" Toadette asked cautiously as she looked down the grassy edge, seeing all of the Noki Bay expand below.
"Kid, I've seen Mario do this countless times." Dry Bowser remarked as he then saw Mario and Sonic The Hedgehog zip right by and jump down at the same time. "See? Case in point."
"Yeah, but he and Sonic are superheroes to an extent, and..." Toadette tried to reason, but this didn't deter Dry Bowser as he grabbed Toadette and jumped down, the pink mushroom girl screaming as she closed her eyes, with Dry Bowser diving right after the red capped human Italian plumber and spiky blue anthropomorphic hedgehog.
