Diddy Kong and King Boo


Luigi Circuit was bustling about, as all of the racers gathered on the course. Bowser Jr. and Toadette remained both cautious as they exchanged slightly embarrassed looks with each other, rolling next to Bowser and Petey Piranha, who were slapping their fists with each other. King Boo floated over Diddy Kong, worrying the red capped monkey as Donkey Kong sighed while shaking his head, Toad having a cautious eye at Bowser Jr. Mario and Wario continued taunting each other as Luigi remained silent, much to Birdo's annoyance. Waluigi was fine tuning the Waluigi Racer as Paratroopa got as much exercise as possible. Yoshi and Koopa both gobbled down some apples and melons as they got ready, Lakitu floating to the front and preparing for the start of the race.

"Ready... go!" Lakitu cried out as he waved his flag, floating away as the eight racers drove off. Peach and Daisy both watched with envy as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi cried, not being able to be part of the action.

Luigi took the wheel as Birdo chucked two green shells behind. Yoshi and Koopa swerved to the left to avoid them, but King Boo and Diddy got bowled over. Growling angrily, King Boo switched positions with Diddy as he tossed a Bo-Bomb in front. Luigi turned to the right, hitting the Chain Chomp as the Bo-Bomb exploded, sending Bowser/Petey and Mario/Wario into the air. Bowser Jr. and Toadette swiftly dashed ahead with Toadette's golden mushroom, as Donkey Kong chucked a giant banana forward. Bowser Jr. and Toadette screamed as they spun around, being pushed into another banana as Waluigi used two mushrooms, with Paratroopa making smooth turns around the curve. Suddenly, lightning struck as everyone turned tiny, except Bowser and Petey. Petey got a Yoshi Egg, and tossed it in front, one shell, one mushroom, and one star. They zipped over the mushroom, while Yoshi and Koopa went over the star. Bowser Jr. grabbed the Bowser Shell and tossed it behind him, striking Luigi/Birdo, Donkey Kong/Toad, and Diddy Kong/King Boo.

Toadette tried giving the kart as much gas as possible, but then they got bowled over by a star, which was acquired by Luigi and Birdo. Diddy Kong blasted off with a mushroom, chucking a fake Item Box behind, that Bowser Jr. and Toadette missed. The two rammed into each other, but with Diddy and King Boo having the bigger vehicle, they were able to push Bowser Jr. and Toadette back, taking off. Up ahead were Waluigi and Paratroopa, who were sent spinning around due to Petey getting the Chain Chomp. Mario tossed several red fireballs ahead, grabbing another set and tossing them behind. Toadette screamed as she patted her butt, caught on fire from the fireballs, as Bowser Jr. tried giving the kart as much gas as possible. Heading around another curve, Toadette grabbed a golden mushroom from the double item box, with Bowser Jr. holding a Bowser Shell.

Toadette became nervous as she glanced around the racetrack. "Junior, I don't think we'll be able to handle-"

Bowser Jr. shook his head as he slammed his right foot on the pedal. "Don't think about it, Toadette, just use the mushroom!"

Toadette sighed as she used the golden mushroom as much as she could, pushing Diddy/King Boo, Mario/Wario, Donkey Kong/Toad, and Waluigi/Paratroopa out of the way. Bowser Jr. then switched and tossed the Bowser Shell behind them, watching it bowl the four other racers over. Toadette swerved like crazy, causing Bowser Jr. to nearly fall off, as Koopa tossed several red and green shells behind. A spiny blue shell was chucked ahead, hitting Bowser and Petey, which allowed Luigi and Birdo the lead. Bowser Jr. and Toadette were about to pass Bowser and Petey, when another lightning occurred, followed by Bowser Jr. and Toadette being bowled over by King Boo and Diddy, who were using star power. Wario tossed a bomb in front, nailing Bowser Jr. and Toadette as they were blasted into the air. Waluigi and Paratroopa both used mushrooms as they zipped right past the two younglings. As the smoke cleared, Bowser Jr. pushed the kart to get back momentum, with Donkey Kong and Toad ramming the two into the grass, Toad using the golden mushroom to cross the finish line. Bowser Jr. and Toadette were in absolute shock as they crossed the finish line, finishing dead last, in eight place. On the very first circuit.

"We... we lost?" Toadette gasped as she covered her mouth with both her hands. "Oh no..."

Bowser Jr. shook with rage as he screamed, strangling the horns on his head as he yelled in frustration.

The audience cheered as all the racers stopped several feet after the finish line, Lakitu signifying the end of the race. Luigi and Birdo won the circuit with relative ease, while Bowser Jr. and Toadette surprisingly flunked.

"All right, Luigi! We won, we won!" Birdo exclaimed with joy as she clapped her hands together.

Luigi chuckled nervously as he grinned, simply shrugging. "Yeah... we won... that's great... heh heh heh..."

Birdo groaned as she folded her arms, glaring at Luigi. "Luigi, you really need to gain some respect for yourself. If you don't, you'll never be able to acknowledge how great life is."

"Well... err..." Luigi stuttered as he twindled his fingers together.

Birdo sighed as she placed her right palm on her forehead. "Oh, nevermind..."

King Boo grumbled as he stared at Diddy Kong angrily. "Well, monkey butt, we got third place. Pray your soul that we're doing well so far!"

Diddy rubbed his right shoulder, gritting his teeth. "Well, yeah... but wouldn't not threatening me be better than-"

"I SAID SHUT UP WITH THE MONKEY BUSINESS, BOY." King Boo cackled as he licked Diddy's face, disappearing in a poof for several brief seconds.

Diddy trembled as he folded his arms together. "Eerp! Why couldn't I be paired with Donkey Kong again..."

"Sigh... fifth place. I'm sure we can do better than this." Waluigi sighed as he pounded his Waluigi Racer.

Paratroopa jumped into the driver's seat, patting Waluigi on the right shoulder. "Worry not, Waluigi! I can add some little things to make this vehicle go faster."

"What things do you have in mind?" Waluigi asked as he eyed Paratroopa, exiting out of the car.

Paratroopa opened the front of the vehicle as he began pulling several things out from it, his voice shouting from inside, "Well, I can simply apply the accelerator to add in less traction lost, and I can make the vehicle a bit heavier so we can ram off the others..."

Waluigi liked the sound of it, his grin getting bigger. "Sounds like a plan, Paratroopa! Go for it!"

Toad was still worried about Toadette, and it showed after their performance on the race. Donkey Kong slightly felt the same way about Diddy, but he was more professional about it.

"Toad, you don't always have to be worrying about your sister all the time..." Donkey Kong started as he approached Toad.

Toad turned to Donkey Kong, angrily mumbling as he tossed his hands up. "But I can't help it! She's with that Bowser Jr. rascal! I can't take my mind off it for a minute!"

Donkey Kong sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck with both his hands. "Look, Toad. Do you see me worrying about Diddy being with King Boo over there?"

"Well... no..." Toad admitted as he felt slightly ashamed.

Donkey Kong shrugged, adding on to his point, "Exactly! I don't get hung over it! Just let it go and move on!"

Toad sighed as he continued worrying, both his hands on his face. "I don't know if I can... poor Toadette... I'm sorry you got paired with HIM..."

Petey noticed that Toadette and Bowser Jr. were in the dumps. He turned to Bowser, pointing at the young pairing. "Hey, Bowser... is your son going to be okay?"

Bowser glanced at Junior, then he sighed, looking back at Petey. "Eh, he'll be fine... he just has to let this race go and focus on the fifteen to come..."

"And what about us?" Petey suggested as he ate some pineapples he found nearby. In a wooden fruit shop.

Bowser grinned as he pumped his right fist. "We do the same thing, of course!"

Mario sighed as he tucked down his red cap in shame. "Mamma mia... we suck."

Wario shook his fists with rage as he revealed his hideous teeth, strangling Mario. "No, it's you who sucks, Blandio! You dragged my beauty down!"

"Maybe it would not have happened if you actually could learn how to drive properly." Mario retorted as he kicked Wario in the stomach, freeing himself.

Wario scoffed as he folded his arms together. "I know how to drive! It's just that you don't attempt to push the other losers out of the way!"

Mario rolled his eyes as he left Wario. "I knew I shouldn't have made that exchange with you..."

"Well, I would have never talked to you if this was going to happen!" Wario then yelled angrily as he pulled down his moustache. "Grah, I'm so pissed, I can eat my own hat right now!" He then grabbed his yellow cap and began biting it violently.
