Note: I have heard of other "The Amazing Race" Fan fics circulating around (and I myself have read one) but this one is, of course, different then all the rest (even though it is very similar, but "The Amazing Race" is very generic, so how can it not be). I do not own all of the characters unless otherwise stated. I do not own Nintendo, CBS inc. or any other thing that is created in this fan fic.

"THE AMAZING RACE: MARIO BROS. EDITION"
Eleven teams of two are about to set off on a race around the world for 1,000,000 coins. All of these teams know each other very well and are aware of each other's weaknesses and abilities, an Amazing Race first. We are now approaching the lush courtyard of the castle that towers above Mushroom Kingdom. This is the starting point in a race around the world.

I am Toadsworth, the host of this reality show that test how two people who have known each other for a long time, or who have just met can work together on a race around the continents: Mushroom Kingdom, BeanBean Kingdom, Sarasaland, Isle Delfino, and Dinosaur Island. This game, which is put together by your favorite teams, will be definitely a good opportunity to see these well-known Nintendo stars out of their natural habitat. Now let's have a slight "sneak-peek" at the contestants.

Peach and Daisy – Best Friends/Princesses

This team is a very good team. Will Daisy's strength, geographical skills, smarts, concentration, dedication, communication and Peach's… good looks??? help them in the long run?

We asked Daisy and Peach to describe themselves and their partner. This is how Daisy replied in an earlier interview:

"Peach is a very… nice… person. I think that she will probably bring some good qualities to the race like… umm… beauty, which will make it easier when we… ask for… directions from… men??? Um…Anyways, on to me. I am good at almost everything and I try my hardest and have fun! I'm gonna get the million coins!"

Soon after Daisy, Peach was asked the same thing. Peach replied:

"Describe me? Ha! I have way too many good qualities. I don't mean to toot my own horn but… TOOT! TOOT! TOOT! Ha! I am so beautiful, charming and "everybody love me!". Hee! Hee! Hee! Ha! I love this race! And now good qualities about Daisy… hmm… that's a toughie. I guess she's not that ugly…"

Unfortunately, Peach will have to face the real world very shortly.

Toad and Toadette – Dating

Toad and Toadette is a great team, all-around that has a chance of going all the way easily.

Toad's interview: "I love Toadette, but this race will test our deepest darkest fears and that is what's going to bring out a lot of bad qualities about me. I just don't wanna be depicted as the team that always fights 24/7. I hate those teams. I just wanna be the team that flies under the radar and you don't even realize is there until you see they've arrived first at the finish line ahead of you."

Toadette's interview: "I love Toad, but we have to agree to disagree lots of times if we want to win the race. I think Toad always is too ahead of himself and always seems to have a plan. I think our race should be played from scratch and be ran how it's ran. I don't want to be depicted as a team with no special talents but we aren't the best team and we know that. I guess all we can do is try our hardest."

Wario and Waluigi – Brothers

Of course, before the race, we were forced to tell them to play fairly, but we think that they probably have some scheme up their sleeves. They are both very sly and surprisingly smart.

We asked Wario and Waluigi if they would play fairly. Here is Wario's answer:

"You'll see. Heh! Heh! Heh!"

Waluigi's response: "Play fairly? No way!"

Although their interviews were very short, they both seemed to agree on one thing… THEY WANTED THE MONEY!!!!

Koopa and Troopa – Cousins

Koopa and Troopa are another team that has the chance of flying under the radar and going a long, long way in the race. Koopa and Troopa were not interviewed due to scheduling conflicts with unknown preoccupations. Why did they not come to the interview? We are sure to watch for any hint or clue in the course of the race. But for now, watch out other teams. This small, good team, already being called the Koopas by other teams, is definitely a team to watch.

Goomba and Dry Bones – Recently Friends

Although these two haven't known each other for a long time, they already have developed trust in one another.

Goombas interview: "Dry Bones is a cool dude and I don't think he'd ever lie to me or do anything wrong in the race. At least, I hope not… Anyhow, I think it's time for the money to go to us. Oh yeah, and Toadsworth, we go to MK Bank Key Jungle Branch, thank you."

Dry Bones' interview: "Goomba is my home dog. Ha! So anyways, where was I. Oh yeah, the money. Just give it to us right now. You know we'll win. Let's not fight about it. So Git-R-Done, (uncontrollable laughter) I am so funny."

This team is arguably the most arrogant team ever on the Amazing Race.

Bowser and Bowser Jr. – Father/Son

Bowser and Bowser Jr. have been asked pervasively not to cheat. One of our producers started crying he was begging so hard. They did not show for the interview. They have told us that they had prior (more important) arrangements. Bowser did say that "I will try not to be too mean to the other players… NOT! But my expectations aren't too high to win the race. We'll just try our hardest." Will this be Bowser's time to shine?

Plum and Maple – Golfers

Plum and Maple have golfed together for years. This is going to be hard for Plum because it's the first time she's gone out of Mushroom Kingdom.

Plum stated: "I hate flying. I don't know why we have to fly from place to place. I hate cars. I don't know why we have to drive sometimes. I hate insects. Please don't make me eat them!"

Maple stated: "I love flying. I don't know why we don't fly everywhere! I love driving! It's so awesome! I love animals (including insects). I wanna be challenged to see if I can eat a bug or something. I think me and Plum are a good team but we do have a lot of differences! Can I bring my iPod on the trip?" We later told Maple yes. She was very happy. She also asked us that if they are eliminated, put on a CD that plays "All Good Things (Come to an End)" or "Bad Day". We told here we'll try.

It seems they are very different people. Can they be put to the challenge of racing around the world together?

DK and Diddy – Uncle/Nephew

DK and Diddy are very pumped to be on the race.

DK has stated "This is going to be so much fun. I love racing. I've raced all my life. And, frankly, I'm good at it. I hope we win. I just hope we win. There's nothing else to do besides hope, pray and try your best!"

Diddy stated: "Uncle DK and I are the team to beat. We both are very competitive. Don't be alarmed to see Uncle DK cry if we are eliminated. But we both have lots of fun and even though we want the money, if we don't get it, it won't be the end of the world. I just want to win."

Diddy also stated he has brought his lucky hat with him and that all their luck will come from the hat.

Petey Piranha and King Boo – Friends

King Boo was asked not to turn invisible or scare any of the other contestants.

This team is a team of two friends that are very alike in a lot of ways. They have the same interests and needs. But will the fact they are the same in a lot of ways help them, or make them be eliminated early?

King Boo said: "We are a fun-going team and as much as we want to win, we won't rub it in another person's face that we're better then them (even if we are!). I am very angry if someone rubs that they think they're better in my face. I just don't want to get a penalty in a leg. How embarrassing is that?"

Petey Piranha said: "We are such an easy-going team and we want to win so bad. I don't like rubbing stuff in other people's faces. I hate people who do that stuff. It is really stupid and unnecessary. Please don't do that to King Boo. I don't want to do that and get a penalty or be disqualifying. That's too embarrassing!"

Birdo and Yoshi – Dating

Birdo and Yoshi are very excited to be on the race, competing for 1,000,000 coins. This is the first time they have ever done anything together outside of Dinosaur Island or Mushroom Kingdom.

Yoshi stated in his interview: "Yoshi! Heh-heh! I think a lot of other teams will not be intimidated by us and I don't want them to be either. I just want to go as far as I can in the race and never give up. I have to help Birdo through the race. She has trouble doing a lot of things and all I ask of her is to trust me. We've already got a plan about who'll do which kind of Roadblocks and which kind of Detours will do. So all we have to do is start the race and we'll (hopefully) slide ahead to the front."

Birdo stated: "I like Yoshi. A lot! I just am not sure if we can concentrate in a different environment. I just hope that we don't go to Isle Delfino. Last time I went there, I was mauled by a psychopathic Noki. She was arrested, and I don't wanna go back! I just don't wanna go there!"

What will Birdo do if she goes to Isle Delfino? Will they win the money?

Mario and Luigi – Brothers

Finally, the team that everyone knows and loves… MARIO AND LUIGI! They're abilities will give them a strong advantage and will probably make them go far in the race.

Mario said: "Luigi and I are a great team, and we know it. We possibly have a chance to win this whole thing. And that's a great possibility. I just don't want to appear as a braggart and such. It's not a good position to be in."

Luigi said: "Mario and I are really good at our own things. He's good at a lot of things, as am I. I like our chances of winning the million, sigh, the million. I can smell the million. I just don't want to say that to anyone else or else no one will like us. I'm not here to make friends, but I am here to do good. Being eliminated first is something I would be angry if it happens. But most of all, I'd be disappointed."

Mario and Luigi will be a lot of fan favorites and such. They are a very smart team. Watch for them to come first in legs a lot of times. That's just a prediction though. Mario and Luigi have been known to fight. But will their fighting get in the way of the race?

So there are the eleven teams. And here are the general rules:

The most each individual on the teams can do a Roadblock is 7 times.

If a car breaks down, a time bonus will not be rewarded

Even though airplane flights are free, do not book a first class flight. If you are bumped up to first class, that is acceptable.

You are not allowed to contact friends outside the race.

You must buy maps, do not use GPS or already bought maps during the course of the race.

Now on with the race...
