[di-] Diddy Kong is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he finds a small second-hand 广 shack in the corner. He reaches inside it and pulls out a 占 fortune that says if he 踮 tiptoes around the bathroom for a couple of seconds, a pair of 足 wooden legs will appear. He 踮 tiptoes over to the sink and sure enough a pair of 足 wooden legs falls from the ceiling and bumps him on the head.
