((Author's Note: Yo everybody, 1upDawg here, and… can it be? Another crossover fic? That's right folks, the Mario Bros. and the WiR gang are back in action, and this time, they'll be tearing up the track together in the latest hit crossover kart racer: Mario Kart: Sugar Rush!

But before we jump into the story, let me bend your ear for a sec. This story's going to be a 32-track long, fully detailed playthrough of MKSR, split into 8 cups. Four of those cups feature brand-new tracks, and the other four reuse tracks from earlier games in both series. If you've ever played a Mario Kart game before, you know how this works.

That said, if anybody's got any track requests for MKSR, send them to me through a PM, or leave a track request in a review. I'll also be updating my profile with more details on requests, so don't miss out.

Also, all racers are welcome in MKSR- including OCs. If you've got an OC that you want to see appear in the story, send me requests through PM. Be sure to give me your character/kart's name and some basic stats. I'll do my best to include as many OCs as I can; you will get credit if I use them.

Right then… now, without further adieu I present to you… Mario Kart: Sugar Rush!))

Chapter 1: Wanna Race?

"Okay everybody, the arcade's closed! Let's pack it up!"

All the other racers, eagerly anticipating this usual announcement from Vanellope that signified the end of yet another busy day in Sugar Rush, obeyed without a second thought. Boisterously mulling over the highlights of today's races to one another, the candy-coated gang of Sugar Rush hopped into their sweet-styled go-karts and sped out of the grandstands, awaiting the Random Roster Race that was yet to come.

Vanellope slumped atop her throne in the grandstands and sighed deeply. As much as she loved the daily fare of races, she couldn't help but admit it hadn't been a particularly eventful day. For that matter, the entire week hadn't been very memorable. It had been little more than a month since her kingdom had been saved from the likes of that spiky-headed buttface (what was his name, anyway?), and since then… well, racing just hadn't been the same.

It could be the lack of players recently… no, Sugar Rush was still pretty darn popular. It may not have had the graphical snazz of Hero's Duty, but the game still managed to hold its own as a staple in Litwak's Arcade. Maybe there simply weren't as many power-up boxes as usual… No, she thought to herself, Sour Bill had just left a fresh batch on the track last Thursday. That couldn't be it.

Then there was Mario… She let out another sigh at the thought. All the other racers were good, sure, but… in her time on the track, Mario was the most worthy rival she'd ever raced in her life. Could it be that because of Mario, Vanellope was starting to lose interest in Sugar Rush? She dismissed the thought right as it formed in her mind- after all, she knew better than to go game-jumping like her old arch-enemy, Turbo.

Oh well… as hectic as her last encounter with him had been, Vanellope decided that she'd enjoyed her big adventure with Mario. Secretly she couldn't wait to race him again- even though she'd never let anyone know it. Especially not…

"You look kinda out of it, kid. Would it cheer you up if I washed that molasses-coated mess of a kart for you?"

…Ralph. Vanellope turned and saw the face of her best friend looking down at her.

"Aw, why don't you go wash yourself for a change, Twinkle Toes?" Vanellope scowled, sinking back into her chair. "I'm not out of it, anyway. I'm just… bored."

"Well, excuuuuuse me, Princess," retorted Ralph. "Just trying to help is all."

Vanellope watched as Ralph sadly turned his back to her.

"I don't need help," Vanellope sighed. "That's the problem."

"Problem? What problem?" Ralph asked over his shoulder.

"Ralph, would ya just look at all this?" Vanellope spread her arms in front of her, as if embracing the skyline of her entire kingdom. "I've got my own game, my own castle, tons of friends and… well, everything I ever wanted! Of course, it's all thanks to you…"

Ralph innocently shrugged at her compliment.

"But… I dunno, it's just getting kinda old doing the same thing day after day. Look, I know not to go running around messing up people's games, don't get me wrong. But being the ruler of Sugar Rush all the time is… well… it's boring. I got no idea why, but I've been feeling this way for a while now…"

"Ever since this place nearly got taken over, huh?" asked Ralph, thinking exactly the same thing she was feeling.

"Yeah," said Vanellope. "Ever since Mario came along…"

Just then, there was the sound of a kart pulling up, and a quite unexpected, yet startlingly familiar voice sounded out from within the grandstands.

"Did somebody page-a me?"

Vanellope leapt out of her seat in shock, and before Ralph could catch her, she lost her balance and stumbled over the edge of her stand.

"Vanellope!" called Ralph as the little racer rolled down the large ribbon that normally led to her kart. Instead, she shot into the air and fell to the ground… only to be caught by a pair of gloved hands. Vanellope opened her eyes in disbelief and gasped at the sight of Mario's mustachioed face.

"HE'S HERE! HE'S HERE! RALPH, HE'S HERE!" she squealed with excitement.

"What?!" yelled Ralph, equally overjoyed. Ralph grabbed the edge of Vanellope's stand and started climbing down the building, only for the structure to give way under his weight and fall over, crushing him.

Vanellope and Mario hurried over to the toppled stand in hopes of prying it off of Ralph, but before they got there Ralph hoisted it over his head and chucked it all the way across the racetrack, crushing Taffyta Muttonfudge's stand in the process.

"Way to aim for Taffyta's, chucklehead," giggled Vanellope.

"Eh… don't worry, Felix'll fix it," Ralph said, shrugging as if nothing happened. "So how've you been, Mario? 'S been a while since our last adventure."

"Yep," said Mario. "And that's-a why I thought I'd stop by-a… to see how you guys here in Sugar Rush were doing! Figured you might-a be here too, Ralph. You and Vanellope go together like-a spaghetti and meatballs!"

"We sure do, don't we, kid?" the wrecker asked his friend.

"Gah-doi!" Vanellope smirked. "But I think I know why you're really here, Mario… couldn't stop by without having a rematch, could ya?"

"That's-a right!" Mario smiled. "Check out the Red Velvet Fire- my new-a kart!"

Vanellope gasped as she took in the coolest, fastest-looking Sugar Rush racing car she'd ever seen. It had the body of a Formula-1 racer and sleek peppermint wheels- wheels that weren't touching the ground. The kart was floating!

"I got-a that idea from Rosalina," Mario explained. "No more racing on the ground for Mario… not-a when he can race up-a the walls!"

"Whoa…" Vanellope's eyes widened. "I WANNA TRY! I WANNA TRY!" she yelped, hopping in the Red Velvet Fire before Mario yanked her out.

"Aw, come on kid, wait for just a sec," he told her. "Don't-a worry, we'll be racing soon enough. Besides-a, the rest of the gang wants-a to meet you."

"The rest of the gang...?" asked Vanellope, before she spotted several other figures in karts approaching the finish line. One by one, the newcomers dismounted their karts and hurried up to Mario. Vanellope didn't recognize some of them- one had the appearance of a mountain gorilla, one was rotund and clad in yellow, and still another green and scaly from head to toe. But she immediately recognized the other green-clad figure as he made his way to his brother.

"Luigi!" she cried out, tackling the hapless plumber to the ground in a hug. "Good-a to see you too, kid," he mumbled, struggling back to his feet.

"Hello, Vanellope," Peach greeted the fellow princess. "I hope all's been well?"

"You bet!" Vanellope smiled. "It's great to see you all… well, you I've never seen before," she told the green, dinosaur-like figure.

"That's-a Yoshi," Mario explained. "He's really friendly!" As if to prove it, Yoshi extended his long tongue and tickled Vanellope with it, letting out a squeal of delight.

Ralph had merely been watching the scene unfold, but as the two other racers finally caught up with the group, he instantly recognized two fellow Bad-Anon members.

"Wario! Donkey Kong! You guys came too!" he shouted.

DK let out several joyful monkey ooks at the sight of Ralph.

"'Ey, Ralphie!" Wario called out in his gravelly voice. "Well, whaddya expect? Mario drags everybody in the Mushroom Kingdom off to a race and ya don't think I'd get invited?"

"Everybody?" asked Vanellope. "We're all racing?"

"Right again!" Mario exclaimed. "Once again, we're going head-to-head for more racing action in my latest game, to prove-a who's the best racer in the arcade! I call it… Mario Kart: Sugar Rush!"

Ralph and Vanellope gasped. After all this time… Mario and Vanellope were about to hit the track once again.

"Well, how about it?" asked Mario, extending his hand. "Up for another race, kid?"

Vanellope seized Mario's hand and gave it a firm shake. "Only if you chumps are ready to eat my sugary dust!"

"We'll see about that-a!" Mario chuckled. "Alright kid, go get-a your friends ready, cause tomorrow, it's-a gonna be game on! Here's-a what we're gonna do…"

((Well, it looks like Mario's got big plans in store for Sugar Rush! Who will win this epic kart battle of the ages… the Mario Kart gang, or the Sugar Rush racers? Tune in next time to MKSR as the game kicks off with its first taste of delicious racing action: the Mushroom Cup!
