Diddy Kong Racing: Journey with Kimberly Jordan

This is where I, Kimberly A. Jordan, can personally go on a journey as the first human to meet the inhabitants and visitors of Timber's Island.

(Diddy Kong Racing intro mixed between the Nintendo 64 and DS versions followed by the prologue from the DS version)

Timber the Tiger: Thanks for coming, my friends, you see, while my parents are away, Wizpig is trying to conquer my home!

Pipsy the Mouse: What? I didn't know that!

Tiptup the Turtle: Now, you're telling me...

Bumper the Badger: Dude, something's happened to the rest of this island's inhabitants...

Diddy Kong: Are they all OK?

Krunch the Kritter: I heard of all this hubbub around here.

Dixie Kong: Diddy had also brought me and my sister for some reason.

Tiny Kong: Yeah, I agree with her!

Banjo the Bear: The land still looks fine to me.

Conker the Squirrel: But has it been updated?

Kimberly Jordan: Maybe I can tell you all that. In case you haven't heard of me before, I'm Kimberly Jordan, a human from the USA in the real world. I sense that while most inhabitants of Timber's Island are hiding in their homes, Tricky the Triceratops, Bubbler the Octopus, Bluey the Walrus and Smokey the Dragon all had been brainwashed by Wizpig who turned Drumstick the Rooster into a frog.

(Diddy's friends gasp)

Timber the Tiger: Oh, that's not good...

Pipsy the Mouse: My parents are away for some reason too.

Kimberly Jordan: They are? Well, I think I know just the way to open the door to the first area called Dino Domain.

Taj the Elephant Genie: A Golden Balloon, I know. That's where I come out.

Diddy Kong: Look, girl Kongs, it that the one who's flying?

Tiny Kong: I think so.

Dixie Kong: Must be someone oriental.

Kimberly Jordan: Yep, it's Taj the Elephant Genie. *gets in her racecar* Allow me to talk to him. *drives to Taj* Taj, I'm Kimberly Jordan, a human from the USA in the real world. I remark that you are the one who commonly rides on your magic carpet, and you are here to help Diddy Kong and all his friends. Are there any ways to get the first Golden Balloon that allows us to enter the Dino Domain?

Taj the Elephant Genie: Why, hello there, Kimberly, and yes, I recall that in the Nintendo 64 gameplay, one balloon is seen floating in front of the first world's entrance and in the DS remake, another is earned by anyone who beats me in the car challenge.

Pipsy the Mouse (driving her car): Did someone say Golden Balloons?

Bumper the Badger: Sweet! I wish I would've kept one as my own souvenir for my home.

Conker the Squirrel: I was going to wish the same thing!

Banjo the Bear: Tell me about it. I'd like to show mine for Kazooie and my sister Tooty.

Timber the Tiger: So, Taj, while Kimberly gets one in front of the first entrance, which one of us will beat you in the car race?

Krunch the Kremling: Yeah, I know we all have our own racecars here.

Tiptup the Turtle: There are about 10 of us, I guess.

Kimberly Jordan: How about I let Taj choose one of you with his eyes covered while I grab the very first Golden Balloon?

Taj the Elephant Genie: Very nice suggestion, Kimberly, I'll try it. *covers his eyes with both his hands and uses his trunk to start pointing* I choose... *uncovers his eyes* ....ah, I know one, Pipsy the Mouse.

Pipsy the Mouse: Me? Well, I'd be honored to race you, Taj, because I already have my car ready. It's pink which is commonly a girl's color.

Dixie Kong: That's the color I'm wearing!

Kimberly Jordan: All right, you all, I'll meet you at the Dino Domain. *drives into the Dino Domain main lobby*

(everybody else watches Pipsy race Taj 3 laps in the car challenge ending with her in 1st place)

Pipsy the Mouse: I'm all done!

Taj the Elephant Genie: Well done, Pipsy, I reward you with this Golden Balloon!

Pipsy the Mouse (taking the Golden Balloon): Oh, thank you, Taj! Now I can go join Kimberly! *drives into the Dino Domain main lobby*

Diddy Kong: Come on, guys, let's follow Pipsy!

Tiny Kong: All right!

(other car drivers cheering)

Kimberly Jordan: This is it, my new friends, the Dino Domain, officially the first world of Timber's Island. Now, the first racetrack in this area is Ancient Lake.

T.T.: How, did you know that place?

Kimberly Jordan: Oh, T.T., I'm so glad you came to see me! Will you allow me to introduce myself? I'm Kimberly Jordan, a human from the USA in the real world. I looked at the course names and had them put in my brain with references so nobody will ever get confused.

T.T.: I see. And how are these new friends of yours, Kimberly?

Diddy Kong: We're all fine!

Tiny Kong: I agree with Diddy!

Dixie Kong: Me too!

Pipsy the Mouse: She's so intelligent.

(all other friends of Diddy's talk to each-other in content at once)

Kimberly Jordan: I've got an idea. While these 10 animals get in their racing positions to focus on the race, I shall get in mine to grab the very first Wish Key ever.

T.T.: OK, that sounds fair enough. So, the racer who finishes all 3 laps first in that case will use the Wish Key to open the Wish Door.

(everybody goes to Ancient Lake as the scene transitions)

Kimberly Jordan: Looks like 11 race positions are all set at this place's starting line. I like it by the way. T.T., sound the call.

T.T.: All right, Kimberly, I'll say this as usual. Racers, get ready!
