Toad looked at his right hand as his left steadied the handle bars of his bike. Sitting in his palm was a red shell, shining brilliantly in the sun. He looked up ahead and saw Daisy in front of him, her brown hair flowing in the wind. It was as if it were taunting him, saying "HI I'M DAISY!" over and over and over again. She had to be stopped.
He had heard Mario telling him about the red shells before. Apparently if you threw the shell, something bad would happen to the person in front of you. At least, that's what Toad thought he said.
Not knowing what to think, Toad decided to give it a whirl and threw the red shell with all his might. He watched as it flew through the air, majestically soaring above the pavement and towards his rival. It fell and hit the pavement a good five feet away.
Toad stared in silence.
