Dry Bowser found himself winning against all odds, for he was using nothing but the tennis racket he had with him to get through the fiery volcano of Hailfire Peaks, with the skeletal reptile having gone there to check out the coliseum but needed to flee due to the enemies wanting his bones to steal. Eventually Dry Bowser found himself at the very top, noticing that there was nothing at the volcano peak outside the twin snowy glacier just across.

"Hmm. Wonder why that bear and bird didn't mention that nothing is present here anymore." Dry Bowser murmured while rubbing his chin, proceeding to shrug as he snapped his fingers and summoned a portal for him to walk through. "Oh well, I'm certain I'll figure something out later on."

With 1 good step through the warp, Dry Bowser was quick to look around, seeing that he was in the river section of the Koopa Cape, with a different batch of turtles racing about to see who got to rename the seaside track for the day: Birdo was also there having a picnic to herself.

"Oh hey Dry Bowser. Didn't expect to see you here." Birdo spoke while sipping her tea and adjusting her bow.

"Well I did just come through an open rift that directly lead me here."

Birdo took an apple and immediately sucked it in through her mouth. "That explains enough without going overboard."
