Luigi rounded a corner on Moonview Highway, nearly losing his cap as he did so. Things weren't looking good for him at the moment; he was in the eighth place on the third and final lap. He was far ahead of everyone behind him, but he was farther behind everyone in front of him. Things weren't looking good at all.
He began to wonder how things had gotten like they were right then. The race had started out fine. It wasn't until he got into the second lap that he started to lag behind. While he had once been in second, things first took the turn for the worst when he drove off a cliff and rode down the slanted rock to the ground below. He managed to get back up on the track in time, but when he had done so he was in sixth. Bowser and King Boo, who had lost no momentum, passed him by, placing him in an even eighth.
While Luigi was replaying the events in his mind's eye, he had absolutely no clue as to what he was doing in reality. He seemed to be swerving in and out of the traffic as if it wasn't even there. He realized he had been subconsciously doing all of these things while he was in a trance. He congratulated himself for being so gifted.
He came to a rude awakening, however, when he noticed a small, yellow object lying on the road ahead of him. It was a banana peel that somebody had placed for someone else to run into! He gripped the wheel of his kart, hoping to be able to swerve in time, but he knew with instinct that such a sharp turn would make the vehicle turn over. He had no choice but to hit the peel head on.
Thump.
Luigi turned around to see the peel in the same spot, growing farther and farther away as he drove on.
"That was absolutley unecessary and retarded."
He kept going. He finished eighth.
