Toadette was hanging out inside Mushroom Gorge's interior cavern, looking for some edible red mushrooms as she bounced from one red mushroom to the next, using her pink pigtails to fly across the noticeable gaps between the mushrooms. Toadette then landed on the lower green mushroom, spotting the red shelled Lakitu, who was crying over his kart, the Cloud 9 vehicle, being broken.

"Aww... what's up, little dude?" Toadette asked, her hands behind her hands.

The Lakitu sobbed as he turned to Toadette. "Oh, it's terrible! I just had this crash, and now my poor kart is broken!"

Toadette examined the Cloud 9, shaking her head as she turned to the Lakitu. "Wow. It is pretty bad." She walked towards the Lakitu. "Maybe you should go get it checked."

The Lakitu flustered, flailing his arms while asking, "But how? I can't afford to just go and leave my kart behind!"

Toadette snapped her fingers. "I got an idea! Hold on tight!" She then jumped into the air, spinning her pink pigtails as she grabbed the Lakitu's arms, flying above the bouncy mushrooms and the pit below. The Lakitu gulped as he looked down, not sure what was to come for him. As soon as the two landed on the other side, Toadette grabbed Lakitu by the right arm and dashed towards the starting line, planning to help out the poor Lakitu in his troubled predicament.
