Master Hand thought deeply on what to do as he looked at all the racers eager to race. "Hmm... there has to be a way to delay this race while still having actual chapters full of racing action and racing related content..." He then snapped himself as he chuckled sinisterly, getting an idea. "Of course! Why didn't I think of it before?"
Master Hand floated out of his office as he appeared at the starting line, zapping Yoshi's kart, the Turbo Yoshi. Suddenly, the Turbo Yoshi began to move by itself, causing panic as Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi looked at each other oddly.
"Yoshi, why are you starting?" Dr. Hoshi asked as he shook his head, his arms crossed. "Master Hand didn't tell us to go!"
"I'm not doing it, honest!" Yoshi exclaimed as he revealed his hands and feet, the wheel steering itself as the pedals weren't pushed, but the kart kept going.
Silver The Hedgehog rubbed the back of his head nervously. "This doesn't seem normal..."
"Should we follow them?" Toadette asked as she turned her head to the left, facing her other friends.
Dry Bowser didn't say anything as he simply drove after Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi. The other racers were confused as Petey Piranha and Birdo shrugged, going after them as well.
Silver sighed as he shook his head, closing his eyes. "Well, I guess actions speak louder than words in this case..."
Toadette nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah, I guess you got a point." She and Silver then started their vehicles up as they zipped after their friends.
Before anyone else could follow them, Master Hand teleported in front of them, causing them to be spooked as Master Hand moved his fingertips in a creepy matter.
"Don't bother going for them!" Master Hand threatened as he snapped himself again, causing a bluish warp portal to appear somewhere. "I'm doing this to spice things up!"
Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi screamed as they went right into the warp portal, with Dry Bowser, Petey, Birdo, Silver, and Toadette all driving right after them into it, the portal disappearing completely.
Peppy Ankylosaurus moaned as he shook his head. "Great. Dr. Hoshi gets more character development while I'm left to rot..." He complained as he narrowed his eyes in annoyance, "...As usual!"
