Leaves continued to fall from the bright, cheerful maple trees as racers continued zipping around the natural race course. Wiggler, riding in her Bumble V kart, was taking the time to lick the maple syrup falling off a nearby maple tree, moaning with pleasure as Toadette passed by in her Standard Kart, slowing down and backing up, to see what Wiggler was doing.

"Errr... Wiggs, are you all right?" Toadette asked as she tilted her head to the right, somewhat unsure of Wiggler's actions.

Wiggler turned to Toadette, waving her top arms at her. "Let me be! I'm trying to eat here!"

Toadette rubbed the back of her head with her right hand. "But, aren't you racing?" She remarked.

Before Wiggler could response, both of the girls were zapped by a lightning bolt, courtesy of Dry Bowser, who was purposely in last in his Flame Flyer kart as he used a star, heading right for the cannon.
