Joseph drops a banana peel on Toad, which makes him spin in circles, and he passes him, while Cody uses a Lightning Bolt, making Joseph and Toad shrink to a mini size, and are slowing down. Bowser Junior however, evades the lightning bolt and uses a spiny shell. The spiny shell hits Cody's go-kart knocking Cody off the vehicle. He tells Ken to win for him, which all comes down to Junior and Ken. Ken is then declared the winner of the go-kart race!

Back at home, Cody gloats to the three about him winning the race and Junior, Toad and Joseph are upset and frustrated about losing the race.

Trivia[]
- A preview clip of this video was shown at the end of "Mario's New Girlfriend!" and "Bowser Junior Needs Glasses!".
- This video was filmed at Fast Eddies Fun Center in Pensacola, Florida
- Since "Mario's New Girlfriend!" was upload in October, then that means this was made in October.
- Junior was the only racer in which Tommy Lakitu had to respawn.
- The items that Joseph, Cody, Junior, and Toad used are 1 Green Shell, 3 Bananas, 1 Golden Mushroom, 1 Red Shell, 1 Invincibility Star, 1 Thunderbolt, and 1 Blue Shell.
- Junior used 3 items while Joseph, Toad, and Cody each used 2 items. 9 items were used in total.
- This marks Ken's first appearance in an SML Short.
- Obviously, this short is based on the Mario Kart series.
- The track that Junior, Joseph, Cody, and Toad raced on bears resemblance to Figure-8 Circuit from Mario Kart DS.
- Joseph's symbol is the only symbol that is not a letter, instead it's a green shell like with the playable Koopa Troopa in the Mario Kart series.
- The Go Kart location in this video was actually filmed at Fast Eddies Fun Center in Pensacola, If you look closely in the background in the video at 5:53, you can see the yellow sign on the roof under the go kart track.
- This episode was uploaded five years after "Black Yoshi's Girlfriend".
- This SML short basically predicted both Junior and Cody's arrivals in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, since this video is a parody of the previous game.
Errors[]
- When the race starts, Tommy Lakitu says, "Okay, drivers, get your engines ready, set, eh-g-go!" but he did not say "ready."
- However, he may have counted "get your engines ready" as such.
- When Cody is urging Ken to race on without him on the final lap, Bowser Junior's kart is a little farther away from Cody's kart than in the last shot.
