After several long days of pure sunshine, rainfall has finally hit Isle Delfino, and did it pour rain all over. With thunder booming loudly above the entire island, and lightning being commonly seen, with some of it actually striking the Shine Gate, it was not a good idea to be out here.

But alas, some people just won't listen to reason, or logic... which in turn leads up to...

...the predicament of Petey Piranha. The giant, mutated Piranha Plant loved all sorts of weather, as he was built to tolerate it. But while he could fly about in the rain, others weren't as lucky. Take poor innocent Toadette, who got blown away into the stormy sky by the powerful wind gusts from the northern direction. The particular scene of action occurring high above most of Isle Delfino, in the sacred Pianta Village.

"Petey, help!" Toadette called out as she wasn't able to spin her pink pigtails to fly away, the storm pulling her into its rain producing clouds. "I'm unable to fly away! This storm is too strong for me to fight back!"

Petey roared as he flapped his giant leaves, approaching Toadette as he got zapped by lightning, sending him down. Toadette screamed as she called out to Petey, being sucked right into the cloud.


Toadsworth was having a cup of tea, humming to himself as he rented a room in Delfino Plaza, watching the rain pour harshly from inside, somewhat shocked by the loud boom of thunder. Toad, that is to say the main Toad himself, barged into the room, moving his hands about frantically.

"Toadsworth! It's an emergency!" Toad exclaimed as he shook his head. "I can't find Toadette anywhere!"

Toadsworth gasped as he shook his head, placing down his cup of tea. "Oh no! This is terrible!" He grabbed his cane as he walked as fast as he could towards the door. "We must call up Master Mario at once!"
