“Oh, it's only you, Tiny. Well, if you can beat me to the bottom of my slide AND collect 50 coins, I suppose you can have my Golden Banana.”

When the race Starts, Tiny can kick the Beetle to slow her down, allowing Tiny to get a headstart. The Beetle is almost the width of the slide, making her hard to avoid.
