Smokey is a large red dragon who has a weird voice. You'll race him in your plane on a nice, but difficult, course through a few caves and open fields. There are several rocky columns in the caves that can cause trouble (don't even bother trying to get the balloons near the columns), and trees out in the fields (but those are easy to dodge).
Smokey gets a large lead at the start since he rushes off when you still have 1 second to wait. Because of this, you can't get ahead of him at the start regardless of what you do. Smokey breaths fire clouds, 1-3 at a time, that disperse. These clouds are deadly. I run into one near the start to show you what they can do. Fortunately, Smokey is pretty slow, so you can run into a cloud on the first lap and still have plenty of time to catch up. He always breaths the clouds in the same areas, so you just have to memorize where they will appear.
The blue balloons scattered around will give you the win. Once you pass Smokey, he won't catch up unless you fly into obstacles (so play safe once you pass). I pick up the necessary balloons, so if you follow the path I use, you'll be fine. A good strategy is to just fly very low through the caves. Clouds never appear right by the ground, and you travel faster the closer you are to the ground while in a plane anyway.
Beat him to unlock some very difficult Silver Coin races.
