Humph. I'm Dry Bowser. Don't forget it.

Tatanga seems to be in prime position to take over the world.

But he seems too stupid to be able to pull it off.

Then again, he does have Mario and Bowser in his clutches...

I'll have to be careful. More importantly, I have to stop this purple freak

From taking over this planet.

Dry Bowser landed on the broken part that extended beyond the Speed Highway. He looked up, the sunset making way for the nighttime, only difference is that things were getting darker than usual, in part due to the huge Tatang Carrier. Dry Bowser smirked as he glanced down, spotting an unused Flame Runner.

"Hmmm. Haven't use one of these things in years," Dry Bowser commented as he got on the bike, riding it and heading southward on the Speed Highway.

Dry Bowser swerved past the buses, trucks, and taxi cabs with his Flame Runner, which had the same color as him. He could easily out speed the other vehicles, so he had nothing to worry about. Jumping over a wooden ramp, Dry Bowser went to the farthest corner, looking down to spot Mushroom City just up ahead.

"This didn't take too long," Dry Bowser commented, turning his focus back up ahead. "What the..."

Much to Dry Bowser's curiosity, there were several red, blue, yellow, green, and rainbow colored Spiky Topmen all waiting for Dry Bowser. Dry Bowser revved up the Flame Runner as he pressed on, regardless of the enemies. He went through the Spiky Topmen like a pinball, ramming from one to the other as he used his bluish fire on the red Spiky Topmen, burning them.

Dry Bowser drove towards the blue Spiky Topmen. They fired bursts of cold air at Dry Bowser, freezing him in his tracks. Suddenly, Dry Bowser exploded, falling apart into a pile of bones as the ice shattered around himl. The blue Spiky Topmen looked over the pile as Dry Bowser summoned himself back, popping back into his regular form as he zapped away the Spiky Topmen with blue electricity. Dry Bowser got back onto the Flame Runner as he continued heading southward.

The green Spiky Topmen released disgusting green goop, slowing down Dry Bowser. Dry Bowser chucked balls of blue fire and electricity at them, causing them to explode upon contact. Dry Bowser was then electrocuted by yellow Spiky Topmen, the ten of them surrounding the reptilian skeleton from all sides. Dry Bowser's eyes went from orange to red, causing all of the yellow Spiky Topmen to catch on fire and melt. Dry Bowser then kept riding on, swerving towards the middle, being sandwiched between speeding yellow taxi cabs and the rainbow colored Spiky Topmen, who were ramming into the Flame Runner, causing it to wear down. Dry Bowser noticed, and he jumped off the bike, pulling in the fifteen rainbow Spiky Topmen and punching them face to face, one by one until the last one exploded. Dry Bowser climbed onto a lamp post, looking up to see Tatanga whiz right past him, heading to Mushroom City's center.

Dry Bowser cracked his knuckles as he jumped off, heading off of the Speed Highway and following Tatanga right to the heart of the city.

Humph. I'm Dry Bowser. Don't forget it.

I endured the Speed Highway.

It was a bit too fast for my tastes, but I've been through similar situations.

All these trucks and taxi cabs won't stop me from thwarting this purple freak.

He seems to be heading to the city. I'll surprise him from the rooftops.
