Mushroom Gorge was pretty pleasant, but things were about to go awry. Wiggler was riding in her Bumble V vehicle, gliding within the cavern, only to be zapped by a lightning bolt, falling to her doom. Bowser chuckled because he went gliding past the fallen female insect in his Koopa Clown vehicle, landing back on the dirt paved path as he made a wide turn around the bend. Wiggler came back, landing on the dirt paved path courtesy of Lakitu.

"Eat that!" Bowser laughed while drifting away.

"Ooh! I always hate having to race with these darn, stupid gliders!" Wiggler exclaimed for she went from yellow to red, shaking herself in rage. "It's just not fair! Augh!"

Toadette and Petey Piranha were both watching the race from one of the green mushrooms surrounding the gorge, looking at Wiggler with concern as they exchanged glances. Wiggler decided to take her rage on the innocent Goombas who were minding their own business, squashing them into regular red mushrooms.

"I do feel bad for her." Toadette murmured while Petey nodded his piranha plant head in agreement.
