The winds from the north were harshly blowing in the Mushroom Gorge, making racing quite a bit annoying for the four racers as they tried zipping across the track, but got blown off the dirt paved road by the winds. Toadette, Funky Kong, Birdo, and Dry Bowser, all four of them riding in their standard karts, screamed as they were unable to pilot themselves back down to the road, being lifted from the rainbow colored booster leading to the three mushrooms in the bottomless white gorge.

"Not again! I hate it when this happens!" Funky exclaimed in annoyance as he folded his arms, shaking his head. "How come we had to race on this day, anyway?"

"Because the other upcoming days for this week are reserved!" Birdo shouted above the howling winds that was making it harder for anyone to communicate.

Dry Bowser sighed as he placed his right skeletal hand on his face. "I knew I should have stayed in the Grumble Volcano today..."

"Tell me about it. I rather be hot right now!" Toadette agreed as she shivered, being lifted out of her seat due to being light. She screamed for help as she and her kart were lifted higher, with Funky, Birdo, and Dry Bowser unable to do anything to help.
