Okay, now that that's out of the way, let's get this started!
"Hi, I'm Bill Keenan, and this is the Brawl Amazing Race! By random selection, here are our pairings," said Bill, who was hosting the race.
The screen switched to images of the pairings and their names.
Ganondorf & Wario
Sonic & Marth
Ike & Pit
R.O.B. & Mario
Peach & Samus
Captain Falcon & Meta Knight
Wolf & Lucas
Jigglypuff & Kirby
Ness & Olimar
Pikachu & Yoshi
Luigi & Mr. Game and Watch
Falco & Link
"When I give you the signal, you will all run over to your bags to take your first clue, and then go into one of the marked cars in the carpark of the course. What you do next is entirely up to you! You must hurry to every pit stop, as if you arrive last, you maybe eliminated. Nine of the legs in this race, including the final, are elimination legs. The other four are pre-determined non-elimination legs. If you finish last in those legs, you will not be eliminated, but will receive a penalty. The first team to cross the finish line will win one million dollars!" instructed Bill.
The teams applauded and cheered.
"Oh, and one more thing," added Bill. "This will not be held in the video game world. No, it won't! This race, except for the final leg, will be held in the human world!"
The teams gasped.
"Put on these stickers onto your body," said Bill.
Bill handed the teams some stickers.
"When you wear these stickers, you will appear invisible to most people, and visible as normal humans to the people who are relevant to this race. Also, your powers will be restrained by these stickers, but not completely. You may only use your powers in designated challenges."
"Okay. Give it your all…
Travel safe…
GO!"
The twelve teams tore towards the backpacks to take their first clue. Sonic and Marth were the first to get their clue.
"Drive to the portal at Battlefield," Sonic read out from the clue.
"Teams will have to drive to the portal to the human world at Battlefield. What the teams don't know is that for now, this portal is set to go to Johannesburg, South Africa. Once there, a Zulu tribal chief will give them their next clue," said Bill.
"Hurry, Marth! Get in!" said Sonic impatiently.
A few other teams got into their cars as they headed on, and the camera zoomed onto a few teams.

"Hey, who made YOU boss?" shouted Captain Falcon.
"Says Mr. 32nd Place!" retorted Meta Knight.
"Well, who asked you to be so broken? Gimme the wheel!"
Captain Falcon steered the car into a ditch.
Meta Knight: Really nice job, "expert driver". Now we're gonna have to call a tow truck.
Ike & Pit

"This sucks. We were beaten to the cars by everyone," said Pit.
Ike looked out his window. "Hey, it's Falcon and Meta Knight!"

He continued, "In Tribes, teams must travel to Lesedi Cultural Village, where five tribes are represented. Once there, teams have to deliver each item to its correct tribe to earn a necklace. Once all five necklaces are earned, teams must talk to the chief to receive their next clue."

Soccer City Stadium
There was a cluebox there, and Sonic and Marth were first there. Marth took the clue.
Marth: Road Block! Who has an eye for goal?
Bill: Road Block! A Road Block is a task that only one person can complete!
In this Road Block, that team member must step onto the pitch and score three goals past a goalkeeper. However, this is a professional South African goalkeeper, and this is not a designated power challenge, so it's much harder than it sounds.
Marth: Who has an eye for goal, huh? You do.
Luigi & Mr. Game and Watch
Currently in 2nd Place
Luigi: Road Block! Who has an eye for goal? I'll do it.

About ten minutes later, Sonic and Marth showed up.
"Sonic and Marth, you are the second team to arrive…"

Meanwhile, back at the pit stop, Bill was still at the mat. Then, four figures ran towards the mat - Jigglypuff, Kirby, Wolf, and Lucas.
The camera zoomed in on Bill. They seemed to have gotten to the mat at the same time. However, Bill saw who made it first.
