This sudden stop of the motorcycle winds up launching Toad through the air. After traveling through the sky, Toad lands near Fryguy, who begins trying to hit him with fireballs. Managing to evade Fryguy's fireballs, Toad learns from Fryguy that he owes him sixty [[Coin|Gold Coins]], which Toad needs to pay back to Fryguy before sunset, or else. | ||
Hearing Fryguy's threat, Princess Toadstool approaches him and says that Toad can't pay him, as all his money was taken by [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. Hearing this, Fryguy says that maybe Toad can get his money another way, such as by winning the Great BMX Race. After saying this, Fryguy leads Toad, Luigi, Mario and Princess Toadstool to a nearby cactus with a poster advertising a bike race on it. After looking at the bike race poster, Mario and Luigi decide to enter it so they can win the prize money to pay off Toad's debt to Fryguy. | Hearing Fryguy's threat, Princess Toadstool approaches him and says that Toad can't pay him, as all his money was taken by [[Bowser|King Koopa]].

Super Show!)|Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]]. Seeing Mario and Luigi, Mouser begins to taunt the two, much to Tryclyde and the Koopa Troopa's amusement. Unfortunately for Mouser, his jeers at the Mario Brothers make himself, Tryclyde and the Koopa Troopa laugh hard enough to allow the brothers to drive away unnoticed. | ||
It is only when Mouser falls off his motorcycle from laughing so hard that he notices them driving away. Getting back onto to his motorcycle, Mouser commands Tryclyde and the Koopa Troopa to begin driving, with him riding closely behind. Shortly after Mouser, Tryclyde and the Koopa Troopa begin to race, Toad and Princess Toadstool, who are in a nearby wooden stand, begin to cheer for Mario and Luigi. As Toad continues to cheer, the Princess notices Mouser, Tryclyde and the Koopa Troopa and surmises that the only way Mario and Luigi could lose the race is if King Koopa somehow interfered in things; soon after saying this, the Princess is shocked to see King Koopa and two Koopa Troopas through her binoculars. Seeing King Koopa and his Koopa Troopas causes the Princess to become instantly suspicious, and she and Toad decide to see what King Koopa is doing in the Desert Kingdom. | It is only when Mouser falls off his motorcycle from laughing so hard that he notices them driving away.

Seeing that Mario and Luigi are still alive, King Koopa commands Team Koopa to activate the speed-increasing devices in their vehicles; as Team Koopa begins to speed toward the Mario Brothers, Toad and Princess Toadstool begin trying to escape from the grip of the sleeping Cobrat keeping them captive.

As Luigi acts as the lookout for Team Koopa, Mario continues to drive their motorcycle as he combs his mustache. As Mario continues to simultaneously drive and comb his mustache, Luigi alerts him to the fact that Team Koopa is approaching them from behind. Hearing Luigi, Mario, opening a container, throws an open can of tomato sauce at Team Koopa.
