"Hello! And welcome to the eighth annual Mario Kart grand Prix! I am your host, Lakitu to provide all the juicy action on this Grand Prix! And right next to me is the lovely Lady Palutena!"

"Hello Lakitu! I am so excited to see everyone driving on these crazy courses that includes anti-gravity and other crazy things!" Palutena smiled.

"The lady is right, we got ourselves anti-gravity on some of these courses and I can't wait to see them in action!" Lakitu exclaimed. "But that's not all! Not only do we have Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Princess Rosalina, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Toad and Shy Guy, for the first time ever, we got racers from around the worlds! Care to do the honors, Lady Palutena?"

"Sure! Our first racer is none other than Sonic the Hedgehog! Thanks to his flying friend, his car can not only transform into many things, it can now change into anti-gravity! It's going to be exciting seeing Sonic race against Mario in karts." Palutena said.

"It sure will be. Our next racer is Princess Zelda! Who knew that they had a go-kart track right behind her castle? That's insane! Forget about Epona, we got ourselves a princess riding on a chariot made by metallic ponies! That's crazy...considering Hyrule isn't all technological..." Lakitu said.

"Our next racer is my very own angel, Pit!" Palutena smiled. "The centurions built a very own race track so Pit can practice on it. His kart was built by the Centurion Engineers, not only is his kart really stable, but it packs a serious drift! It's a white car with wings installed and it doesn't even need the Power of Flight."

"Wow, your own angel doesn't need the Power of Flight to fly that thing? I'm impressed. Anyways, our next racer is Pit's girlfriend, Viridi, the Goddess of Nature. And of course, her bike is made out of nature...go figure. Leaves, tree bark, eco-friendly oil...and she has a nature version of a bike outfit. Leaves, trees...and yet, she still looks sexy in that outfit...I'm predicting major nosebleeds from Pit."

"Easy Lakitu." Palutena giggled. "Our next racer is Natsu Dragneel and like his fiery attitude, he has fire pinstripes on the sides of his car and a very fiery nitro boost! I'd hate to be whoever is behind him."

"Especially if you're made out of ice because our next racer is Gray Fullbuster and he has his own motorcycle for the race. Obviously Natsu and Gray are going to compete for first place...yikes..." Lakitu shuddered at this.

"Our next racer is Sora and with his own crazy optimism, his steering wheel is his own Keyblade! Hope he doesn't stab himself." Palutena said, which earned a laugh from Lakitu. "No! Seriously, that Kingdom Key is long and he's using it to steer and his kart is a version of the Gummi Ship."

"So basically...Gummi Kart?" Lakitu asked.

"Pretty much." Palutena nodded.

"Our next racer is Sora's Nobody, Roxas! And man, that is a slick ride. Is that a Mercedes? I never thought I'd see the day when a real life car would actually be on the track." Lakitu said.

"Must've been all that munny he got after completing tons of missions while he was in the Organization." Palutena thought.

"That could be... just how rich is that kid anyways? But never mind that. Our next racer is Reimu Hakurei! Thanks to Nitori, her bike is incredibly slick and awesome! Say hello to Reimu's bike...and her bike outfit! Good LORD, did Nitori design it herself? That's pretty sexy. I mean it's her own outfit but...changed into a bike outfit!" Lakitu exclaimed. "And her FREAKING BIKE! OH MY GOD, it's INCREDIBLE! She even put her own face on it!"

"Calm down, Lakitu. Our next racer is Marisa Kirisame and I would like to sit down, because her biker outfit is her own witch costume...but skin tight." Palutena said.

"AWOOOOGA! SKIN TIGHT! JUST HOW I LOVE IT!" He yelled, as Palutena sweatdropped at this.

"Aaaanyways...her bike is her own broom. But she tricked it out, added wheels to it, added a body to it, and just look at it now, can't even tell it's a broom except for the end part."

"Our last racer is...holy crap...it's Samus...in her zero suit...DRIVING A BIKE...WHICH IS BASED OFF OF HER OWN SHIP!" Lakitu exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh dear..." Palutena sighed. "Anyways, that's all of our racers for this grand prix. Our first race is Mario Kart Stadium."

"Oh yes...where it will all start. Let's get this race STARTED!" Lakitu exclaimed. "Racers...to the starting line!"

"Oh great, chicken wings and the witch...just who I needed..." Bowser muttered as they were at the starting line.

"Again with the chicken wings? Ugh..." Pit sighed.

"Don't let him get to you Pit." Viridi said. "Let's just focus on the race."

"So Mario, why do you invite Bowser to racing?" Sonic asked.

"Well...the thing is..." Mario tried to say, but a Lakitu with a street light came above them.

"On your mark!" He said as everyone revved up their engines. "Get set..." Everyone gripped the steering wheels and handles. "GO!"

"Our 21 racers are off! Look at them go!" Lakitu exclaimed.

Luigi ran through an item box and a banana peel appeared on his hand. "Well in that case..." He smirked and threw it in front of him.

"WHOA!" Shy Guy yelled as he steered out of the way.

"MAMA MIA!" Mario yelled, driving around it.

"WHOOOOOOOA!" Bowser yelled as he slipped on the banana peel and tried to gain control but he slammed into a wall.

"Oh! That's gonna leave a mark!" Palutena exclaimed. "It looks like Viridi and Samus are neck and neck for first place and Pit is right behind them!"

"Don't look at their butts...don't look at their butts..." Pit told himself, and then a Blooper came down on them and squirted ink on them. "AGH! MY EYES!" Pit yelled.

"I CAN'T SEE!" Viridi yelled, colliding into Samus.

"HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE STEERING!" Samus yelled at her, but her eyes were covered with ink.

Sonic sped right past them, not even covered in ink. "See ya!" He said as they got to the Anti-Gravity part. "Oh sweet..." He smiled.

"What's this?! Does Marisa have what I THINK she has?!" Palutena exclaimed.

"Oh boy..." Lakitu said.

"TAKE THIS!" Marisa yelled, throwing the infamous blue shell right at them, as it also collided into Reimu, Zelda, and Roxas.

"HEY! WATCH THE PAINT JOB!" Roxas yelled at her after he recovered.

Sonic looked behind, seeing the Blue Shell catching up. "I don't think so." He smirked, as he ran over an item box...and a coin popped out. "...You gotta be kidding me." He muttered. Boom.

Viridi drove right past Sonic as she started to drift. "Heheh, so long, slow poke!" She waved.

"Slow poke? I don't think so." Sonic said, running over another item Box and holding a golden mushroom as he quickly boosted towards Viridi.

Donkey Kong had the Crazy Eight item and he smirked. "Bombs away!" He exclaimed as he threw it towards Viridi.

"WHOA!" Viridi yelled and quickly drifting around it.

"OH CRAP!" Sonic yelled as the Bob-omb walked straight to him and it exploded.

"Ouch, Sonic is having a rough time out there." Palutena said.

"Ah, this is only the first lap. He'll catch up." Lakitu said.

Pit drifted a corner as he was right next to Viridi. "See you at the finish line!" He smirked as he had a mushroom and boosted.

"Oh I see how it is." Viridi smirked.

"The racers are now in their second lap and boy, it's getting epic!" Lakitu exclaimed.

"See how you like this Red shell." Daisy smirked, throwing it right at Toad.

"OW!" Toad yelled. "I should've saved that green shell that I threw at Rosalina!" He exclaimed.

Rosalina drifted the corner, as the green shell hit the wall and hit Luigi who just so happened to pass Toad. "OW!" He yelled.

"It seems Reimu is in last place...BUT SHE'S PULLING OUT A SPELL CARD! THIS MEANS TROUBLE!" Lakitu exclaimed.

"Good thing the rules are everything goes." Palutena said.

"SPIRIT SIGN: FANTASY ORB!" Reimu yelled, as it hit Marisa and Zelda.

"OW!" Marisa yelled, while holding a green shell. "Well let's see how you like THIS!" She yelled, throwing it to Reimu.

Natsu and Gray were in third and fourth place, behind Viridi and Pit, but they were glaring at each other. "Out of my way, oven breath." Gray said, bumping into Natsu.

"Oh yeah?" Natsu smirked, as he moved far and slammed into Gray, which knocked him to a wall.

"Oh! That's gotta suck for Gray!" Palutena exclaimed.

"Time to get into first place." Natsu smirked, as he pushed a button, his nitro boosters coming out and blasting his way into first, unfortunately, Mario and Luigi were right behind him.

"YOOOOW!" Luigi yelled, coughing out smoke while Mario just simply blinked through the smoke.

"COMING THROUGH!" Natsu yelled, driving past Viridi and Pit...and the flames touching the both of them.

"OW OW OW OW OW!" Pit yelled, coughing out smoke while Viridi blinked through the smoke.

"That bastard..." Viridi muttered, grabbing a mushroom from an Item Box and boosting her way towards Natsu.

"Our racers are now on the final lap! I don't know who's going to win but I am NOT trusting Shy Guy's Bullet Bill."

"Heheheh..." Shy Guy smirked through his mask and turned into a Bullet Bill, blasting his way through Bowser, Peach, Zelda and Sora.

Pit struggled his way back to second place, passing Viridi and catching up to Natsu, and then grabbing an item box as it's the Boomerang Flower. "Oh yeah!" He smirked as he threw it.

The boomerang zipped past Natsu. "Ha! You call that aiming?" He asked, as he wasn't paying attention and the boomerang came back and slammed into him. "OW!" He yelled.

"Eyes on the road!" Pit taunted as he drove past him and Viridi catching up to him.

"Why I oughta." Natsu muttered.

"Why is it always the last lap that's always the most epic and intense?" Lakitu asked.

"I have no clue." Palutena said.

Pit drove over the gap, as his glider came out, revealing his wings as his glider. "Oh yeah! This is smooth sailing!" He smiled.

"Pit is in the lead and near the finish line! But Viridi and Natsu are quickly gaining on him!" Lakitu exclaimed. "I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN MYSELF!"

"I don't know who's going to win, but those three are neck and neck!" Palutena exclaimed excitedly.

"HERE WE GO!" Pit yelled as he started to floor it, but Viridi and Natsu had the same idea and floored it as well as the three crossed the finish line.

"It's a photo finish! Who the heck won?!" Lakitu exclaimed as everyone else stopped at the finish line.

The screen at the stadium showed that Viridi inched a little farther than Pit while Natsu accidentally let go of the accelerator. "Ah, so Viridi's in first place, Pit's in second and Natsu's in third!" Palutena exclaimed.

"While Shy Guy's in fourth, Gray's in fifth, Mario's in sixth, Luigi is in seventh, Rosalina is in eighth, Zelda's in ninth, Bowser is in tenth, Sora is in eleventh, Peach is in twelfth, Donkey Kong is in thirteenth, Toad's in fourteenth, Reimu's in fifteenth, Marisa's in sixteenth, Daisy's in seventeenth, Roxas is in eighteenth, Samus is in nineteenth, Sonic is in twentieth and Yoshi is in last place." Lakitu said. "This will be quite the grand prix."

"Yes it will." Palutena said. "And we'll see you next time in Water Park!"
