"What the?" Mario exclaimed as he looked around, riding on his brown horse as he was shocked. "Where are all the cows?"
Sonic shook his head as he shrugged, replying, "They must have gone up those grassy mountains or something. Maybe they got tired of all the abuse everyone seems to give them."
Mario rubbed the back of his head with his left hand. "Hmm... that does seem like a good reason... I just hope those-a cows are all right..." He sighed as he closed his eyes, looking down.
As Mario and Sonic continued wondering where the cows were, several cows on the right side of the yellow picket fence dividing the meadow and race course were suddenly teleported out of the area, with Kamek using his magic to do nefarious things to the poor cows.
