The S.S. Toaster arrived at it's next destination of Circuit Break Island. As the passengers got out, they heard a very loud racket. They looked to see it was coming from two speeding karts, one green kart driven by a Toad and another black kart was boxed up so the driver wasn't visible. As the karts were turning around a corner, the green one went off track and sent it's driver flying! The driver crash landed next to Luigi and slowly stood up.

"Ouch, that's the ninth time that's happened!" groaned the Toad. "Oh! Welcome to Circuit Break Island! My name's Safe T., semi-professional racer."

Luigi asked "are you alright?"

"You mean that accident?" said Safe T. "that's nothing really. When you have races almost every day here, you get used to multiple spills. So are you here to race?"

"Well, not really…" Luigi muttered.

"Ah you should, man. You get to be king for a day if win. Oh shoot, I forgot I'M in a race!"

Safe T. quickly jumped into his kart and took off. Curious, Luigi and his two partners went to follow the tracks.

"Wait guys!" Flapjack shouted "I don't want to be left alone!"

The four got to the end of the track and saw an award ceremony.

The award announcer loudly spoke "the winner of today's race is once again Turbo 128!"

Some people cheered while others booed as the black kart drove by and did a donut on the road.

"Wow I can't believe it's really the Turbo 128!" Flapjack shouted in excitement.

"You know that kart?" Jerry asked.

"Do I! The Turbo 128 is considered the greatest kart ever! It's driver is never seen, and people say the driver never even LEAVES his kart. It's truly amazing to know I'm watching it in real life!"

The announcer says "one again, our winner is king for today and will receive this fabulous trophy!"

A shiny trophy is soon taken out and place on the black kart. Luigi looked at the trophy closely and noticed something…

"There's a Marvelous Compass on that trophy!" Luigi proclaimed to his buddies.

Jerry guessed "so that means we'll need to win the next race in order to get it."

"Remember folks" the announcer shouted again "if you wish to enter tomorrow's race just sign up in our registration booth!"

The Turbo 128 was the first to somehow enter the booth then took off with it's trophy. Luigi eventually signed up and later saw Safe T.

"You signed up for the race, huh?" the Toad asked "well you'll need to be careful."

"Huh?" said a confused Luigi.

"Circuit Break Island races are a bit more extreme than regular kart races. You can hurt real bad if your not careful."

"I've experienced crazy kart races, I think I handle this race too."

"Well if you say so. You know, while we're talking about the race if I won and became king, I would try to make the races less hazardous. Such as-"

"INCOMING!" someone screamed.

A random missile collided with Safe T. and knocked him to the ground. Luigi went next to the Toad's side and saw he didn't appear well.

"I… don't think I can make it" Safe T. wheezed "please, win the race and make this place safer. Go see Torque on the other side of this island, he can… help you."

The Toad coughed once more and fainted. Luigi quietly agreed to do Safe T.'s request, but first took the Toad's super boots because he felt like it.

The plumber went to see his partners and told them he had to see Torque, and Flapjack's eyes widen in excitement.

Luigi wondered "let me guess, you know who Torque is?"

The Waffler said "Mechanic Weekly says he can do anything with his wrench! If he's here than you'll surely get something good!"

"Well what are we waiting for?" shouted Luigi "let's go see him!" The plumber was across a race track and noticed the other three weren't coming. "What's wrong?"

"Are you sure it's a good idea to be walking on the tracks?" Jerry wondered.

"It's quicker than walking around it" Luigi replied. "If you guys want to stay here, then so be it!"

The plumber turned and continued on, not noticing his partners shake their heads. It was ten minutes later and Luigi was still walking through the empty race course, wondering how big this island was. He stopped when he loud noises and wondered what they were. He screamed in fear when he found out it was high-speed karts firing weapons at each other! He ran away while trying to dodge the karts and projectiles, but was soon stuck on one kart!

"Get off my ride you pedestrian!" yelled the Pianta driving the kart. It grabbed Luigi and used it's super strength to throw the man in green out of the tracks.

Luigi screamed as he twirled in the sky, then was soon rolling on the ground before stopping. When he looked up, he was in front of a building labeled 'Torque's Garage.' How convenient!

Entering the garage, Luigi heard grunting from the other side of a kart. He decided to investigate and saw it was a green-shelled Buzzy Beetle with a wrench attached to it's shell, using the wrench to repair an engine.

Luigi spoke "excuse me, are you Torque?"

The beetle finished up working on the engine, then faced Luigi and said "yeah I am, what do ya want?"

"Uh… I really need to win the next race so I was wondering if I could borrow a kart or something."

"Don't make me laugh! I don't give away my rigs to anybody to needs to win a race!"

"But I'm Luigi Mario, I know how to use karts really well!"

"I don't care if you're a big-shot hero, you still won't get anything."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pleeeeease?"

"No!"

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?"

"NO! GET OUT!"

Luigi was kicked out of the garage and the garage door was closed. Luigi got on the roof and used his super boots to ground pound through a trap door.

"What the hey?" the Buzzy Beetle said in surprise.

Luigi went on his knees and cried "please let me use a kart! I'm BEGGING you!"

"Alright! Alright! You can use one of my karts, you psycho! Just get out so I can get my work done!"

"Thank you! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"

The next day, the preparations for the race began. Torque came with a nice green kart armed with a large cannon on it's side.

"This is the Big Green 01" the beetle stated "this baby is the best ride I ever created. If you say you're a good karter as you say you are, then I expect you gonna take good care of it."

"You can count on me!" Luigi said with a thumbs-up.

Luigi got in the kart and waited as a Lakitu grabbed the kart with a fishing hook and took it to the starting line with the other karts. There was an audience sitting the stands, ready for excitement.

"Good day, race fans!" shouted the announcer on a mike "today we have another fabulous race to become king for a day! Are you ready for some crazy karting?" The crowd cheered. "Alrighty then! Racers, start your engines!"

All the racers started their karts. A Lakitu floated above the starting line with lights attached to a rod, the light currently red.

"On your marks…" said the announcer "get set… GO!

The lights the Lakitu carried turned green, and Luigi put the petal to the metal. Unfortunately, he had the kart in reverse and was going backwards, screaming along the way. He stopped screaming when the Big Green 01 crashed into a wall and went into a complete halt.

The announcer said "Ooooo! That's gotta hurt! Big Green 01 went the wrong way and ends up wrecked! Not only that, but all the other karts are wrecked as well!"

And the announcer was right. Luigi's stunt caused the drivers behind him to swerve and create a complete pile-up!

"Folks, never have I seen such destruction without the used of weaponry. Such a terrible tragedy! Even the once-invincible Turbo 128 is now scrap!"

Luigi, not wanting to give up, changed gears and pushed the pedal. Even though his ride was badly damaged, it was still functional. He took his chance and drove around the race course.

"What's this?! Unbelievable! Big Green 01 is still in the race! This event will be in history books, people, and we may never see something like this ever again! As the only working kart, Big Green 01 is declared the winner!"

The crowd cheered as Luigi got to the finish line. When he got out of the kart, he was soon hit in the gut by a shell!

"You lousy moron!" Torque shouted "look what you did to my ride! Do you know how much repairs will cost me?! I'm going to follow you until the end of time until you pay off your debts!"

Torque joined Luigi's party! Luigi can now fix things with Torque's wrench!

"W-wait a minute" stuttered Luigi "couldn't you just repair it yourself?"

"Maybe, but then I wouldn't get satisfaction watching you suffer!"

Luigi's other partners came, with Jerry holding the trophy that Luigi won. The mustachioed man took the compass piece off the trophy and placed in the compass base. Once again, the Marvelous Compass glowed as it pointed east with an image of buildings with flower-like roofs.

"Hey, that's Jazzafrazz Town!" said Flapjack "I always wanted to visit there ever since-"

"My love" Éclair's voice interrupted in Luigi's mind "My love….save…me."

"Don't worry princess! I'll save you!" Luigi shouted. He looked to see his friends look at him strangely. "Hehehe, uh, never mind."

Suddenly, Luigi was ran over by a speeding kart, which soon stopped. The kart was none other than Turbo 128, which was a bit banged up.

A monotone voice emitted from the kart "WINNER OF TODAY'S RACE, PREPARE TO BE ROADKILL!"

The black kart suddenly moved some parts and transformed into a robot!

BOSS: TURBOT 128

"Turbo… is a robot?" Luigi questioned in shock.

"AFFIRMATIVE" said Turbot "I WAS CREATED TO WIN EVERY RACE SO NOBODY COULD BECOME KING. EXCEPT NOW YOU ARE KING, AND YOU PROVE TO BE TERRIBLE BY BREAKING THE TROPHY! YOU MUST BE ELIMINATED!"

No point of working things out, Luigi attacked. He hammered Turbot, but the robot's defense was too high to do anything. Torque used his wrench to lower Turbot's defense. Turbot ran them over. Luigi ground pounded the robot then Torque used his shell to hit Turbot.

Turbot said "ENEMY IS PROVED TO BE POWERFUL. SWITCHING TO BATTLE MODE TWO."

Two cannons appeared out from Turbot's shoulders and fired two Bullet Bills which floated in the air for some reason. Luigi switched Torque with Blooey, and the Blooper tackled a Bullet Bill and destroyed it. Turbot ran over it's enemies, and the other Bullet Bill collided with the plumber. Blooey switched with Jerry, and Jerry blew up in front of the kart robot.

Turbot beeped "EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! MALFUNCTION! MALFUNCTION!"

Turbot has sparks all over it's metal body while having a bit of a seizure. Despite it's malfunction it fires two more Bullet Bills. Luigi jumped and destroyed the bullets, and tried to jump on Turbot but got zapped by the sparks. Jerry goes up and explodes by Turbot again.

Smoke came out of it's insides as Turbot said "RRRRRR CAN'T FIGHT BZZZZZZT GOING TO BREAK DOWN AAAAAAAAAGGGG HI I'M DAISY DFSGVHRFVYGCVCVCVCVCVXBGCVTDFRC!!!"

Turbot's head blew up, and the rest fell to the ground.

"Well, there goes the once great Turbo 128" said a familiar Toad.

"Safe T.!" Luigi gasped "but I thought you…"

"I had a Life Shroom."

"Oh."

"Anyways, now that your king for today, what are you going to do?"

"Well, actually, I got what I came for, so you can be king."

Luigi handed the trophy over to Safe T., who looked at the trophy then at Luigi.

"But why?"

"You deserve it. This place needs a good king, even it is for one day."

"Thank you sir! I'll make sure Circuit Break Island will be a safe yet entertaining place."

The Toad shook hands with the plumber and both went their separate ways. Meanwhile, Flapjack was collecting undamaged parts from Turbot and putting them in a bag.

"Hehe, I love foreshadowing" the Waffler whispered as he slung the bag over his shoulder and went back to his ship.
