Shy Guy trembled with fright as he noticed that there were no mushrooms within the giant cavern inside the bluish green mountain. Toadette skipped on towards Shy Guy, curious as to why he was frightened as she looked at the empty black gorge.

"Hey, weren't there mushrooms here?" Toadette asked Shy Guy as she pointed at the gorge.

Shy Guy nodded his head as he whimpered, turning to Toadette as he held his hands together. "There were, but they disappeared! I have no idea how that suddenly vanished without a trace!"

Outside of the mountain, Kamek the nefarious blue robbed Magikoopa cackled as he was causing magical mischief again, making all of the mushrooms in the race course disappear, causing several red shelled Lakitus to fall into the bottomless white gorge below, with the green shelled Lakitu unable to rescue them all.
