The Cloudtop Cruise was bright as you could be high in the sky, with Toadette and Princess Daisy flying around the course in a yellow and pink colored hot air balloon as they were looking at all the different colored Lakitus flying around.

"Wow! Look at how many of these flying turtles there are!" Toadette admitted as she pointed at them.

"Yeah!" Daisy exclaimed as she held her hands together. "I just wanna go and jump on all of their heads!"

Toadette gave Daisy an odd look, folding her arms together as she frowned. "Why, may I ask?"

"Because they're Koopas, duh!" Daisy remarked as she placed her right hand on her hip, moving her left hand around. "That, and because I have been growing a stigma against them because of that Lakithunder guy and his puns."

Lakithunder then appeared out of a set of dark clouds from the east, zapping the hot air balloon as Daisy and Toadette glanced at each other, screaming as they held onto each other hugging, with Lakithunder laughing as he watched them fall.

"Ha ha! That'll teach you to laugh at my lack of integrity!" Lakithunder punned as he sighed, folding his arms together as he shook his head. "Oh man, I need to improve on my jokes."
