[ It’s the sound of an overconfident teenager who thinks he’s got this whole race in the bag. Sure he didn’t get to defeat Wowser, his own snail shell veering off course and disappearing in a flurry of glitter and rainbow sparkles just off the edge of the racetrack but he eyes the little 1st text in the corner of his screen and knows he’s so close to winning, he can taste it.
So obviously it’s with this sureness that Percy rides Toshi’s little cart all the way to the finish line in a blaze of dino-glory … and completely misses the fact that a shell’s spinning towards the back of his cart with the single-focus of something trying to knock him out of the lead.
And unfortunately, it works.
Toshi goes spinning, slowing him down enough for those few seconds that determine winner from loser.
