There were plenty of sand on Seaside Hill's eastern side as Dry Bowser, Toadette, and Petey Piranha were all running around at the speed of sound, collecting the gold rings that were placed everywhere around on the beach and the grassy path.

"How many more rings do we need?" Toadette asked as she was holding several of them with both of her hands.

Dry Bowser stashed every ring he collected into his skeletal shell. "We need at least nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine rings. We have to pay off our tax, remember?"

Toadette tilted her head to the right as she sighed. "We are pretty close to that, right?" She blinked innocently. "...Right?"

Suddenly, the ocean waves splashed onto shore, soaking Toadette and causing her to drop her rings. Toadette shook her head as she groaned, looking downb as the rings disappeared. Petey Piranha jumped down from a nearby palm tree, patting Toadette on the back to help reassure her. Toadette sighed as she got on Petey's back, taking a break as Petey and Dry Bowser kept collecting rings. They had around five thousand rings collected.
