In town, there's a big crowd of people waiting to meet Todd. He comes in on a motorcycle. Toadette thinks he's a weird looking mushroom. Diddy Kong points out that he's a turnip. Toad runs up to Todd and asks for his autograph. He gives it to Toad and Toad is more than happy. Just then, Todd needs a bathroom break. He goes into the bathroom.
