Waluigi opened up the taco stand, waiting for the customers to pour in and spend their hard earn cash on some greasy, spicy tacos.

But for some particularly weird reason, nobody was there. Not a single badnik. Not even the regulars. This perplexed Waluigi greatly.

"What the hell?" Waluigi gawked as he scratched his head, looking around as he stepped outside his taco stand. "Hmmm... That's odd. Normally, the gassy girls and those heavyweight morons would be here. I wonder where they went." He rubbed his chin, being quite curious about this predicament.

Several miles north of Seaside Hill, the regulars were watching an intense tennis match between Shadow and Silver, too distracted by the fast paced action to munch on tacos.
