"I have the feeling that there's alternate versions of us racing around," Yoshi murmured.

"What gives you that idea?" Dr. Hoshi asked.

"Well I just felt a weird tingle." Yoshi.

Dr. Hoshi squinted. "You sure it's not the fruit you ate earlier?"

"...Good point."


Back with the prime versions of the dino duo within the final forest level of a beloved N64 game that's also available on the XBox, things were nuttier than the acorns that populated the wooded area!

"Well, this is certainly a party." Yoshi said while facing all the different characters who were looking back at the dinosaurs.

"I woudn't call this a party..." Dr. Hoshi muttered as he adjusted his glasses.

Outside the enormous storied tree, Dry Bowser sighed as he had his skeletal arms folded, while Toadette and Birdo were keeping each other company, with Silver looking at all of Click Clock Wood below as Petey Piranha was munching on the bees buzzing around the white, bouncing beehive with eyes.

"You know, they just confirmed that I'm back in Mario Kart 8," Toadette stated while moving her arms about.

Birdo placed her hands on her hips as she nodded her head at Toadette. "Really? That's something!" She replied in shock, her eyes more open.

"It is! It feels so good being relevant again!" Toadette exclaimed while twirling around, giggling as she clasped her hands together. "And I get to try out all those gliders and hovering as a starter, too!"

Dry Bowser scoffed as he turned around, approaching Toadette with his right skeletal hand on his skeletal hip, moving his left hand about. "You wager that there would be worse playable characters than MK7?"

"I doubt it." Silver commented as he turned around, joining in on the conversation as he approached the circle. "I mean, Nintendo listens to what people have to say. And needless to say, they hated MK7's roster."

Petey mumbled in agreement as the other five kept chatting amongst each other, waiting for Yoshi and Dr. Hoshi to come back.
