Author's Note: Hello there, this is TARfan97. I have been an Amazing Race fan for quite some time now, and I've also enjoyed playing videogames for almost all of my life. The idea for this story has always been stuck inside my brain, and it would not go away unless I would set it free out into the world, and so that's what I have decided to do. This is my very first fanfic, so I'm quite excited to be able to share it with you. I do not own The Amazing Race, Nintendo, any other video games, their franchises or any other ideas that other people may have made that's being shown on this fanfic.
Second Author's Note: Hey guys, this is TARfan97 about almost a year later. (laughs). I've been working very hard on this fanfic, and I've been really appreciating the support that I've been getting from you guys. For all the people that are being introduced to this story, you're going to enjoy reading this a whole awful lot. You're in luck also, because I've started polishing this story and started changing the format of the first two chapters to make it look better to read, so I hope you enjoy it. Writing this story has been so great for me; it's always made me feel like I was a part of the race while writing it, and I hope you all feel the exact same way while reading it. And so, without further ado, sit down, relax, and enjoy the show -er… fanfic.
Ep. 1: I Just Got Hit in the Head with a Coconut –Luigi
A large and unusual land filled with mystical beauty was being shown. There were unusual looking natives walking along on the streets, and little lifelike turtles and mushrooms frolicking around in the fields. Then suddenly, there was a bus being shown driving through the land. Inside the bus were twenty-four Nintendo characters, who all sat anxiously while waiting for the bus to get to its destination. Even though they've all known each other for quite some time, they were all told not to speak to one another until they got there. The scene then shifted to Toad, the host of the show, as he was shown standing somewhere in the middle of the fields.
"I'm standing in the middle of Mushroom Kingdom," said Toad, "home to many shiny characters consisting of anthropomorphic animals, hero's, including villains. From this thriving Kingdom, twelve teams of your favorite Nintendo characters will embark on a race around the video game universe for 1 million dollars."
The scene then shifted to the bus carrying the teams.
"These teams have decided to take a break from their usual everyday lives, and have signed up to take the ultimate adventure," said Toad once more. "Each and every team is made up of an existing relationship. The twelve teams are…"
As Toad called out their names, the teams would get out of the bus, and start heading towards the starting line.
"LINK & ZELDA: Newly dating couple from the land of Hyrule after having known each other for almost all of their lives."
INTERVIEW:
"I've finally decided to be in a relationship with Link, and it's been very wonderful for us so far," said Zelda, "except Link and I still have some… flaws that might end up having our relationship being short lived."
"We fight a lot, but I don't believe that makes us a bad couple," said Link, "I'm hoping this race will help us get to connect more and help us learn to get along with each other better; otherwise… I might end up dying alone."
END:
"SAMUS & PIKACHU: Best friends and hoping for a chance to spend more time together."
INTERVIEW:
"Samus and I became friends when she saved my life from a machine that was draining my electric power," said Pikachu. "I was very thankful for it and we've been best friends ever since, pika."
"Regardless of my being a soldier and a bounty hunter, Pikachu and I have a lot of fun together; I even let him sit on my shoulder a lot," said Samus. "He's pretty much the only guy that I'm not aggressive and ruthless towards.
"Because we're from different worlds, we don't get to see each other and spend time together very often," said Pikachu, "Samus and I are just looking at this race as a chance to bond and have fun together, pika."
END:
"PEACH & DAISY: Best friends and both princesses, with Peach being from Mushroom Kingdom and Daisy from Sarasaland."
INTERVIEW:
"We are your typical damsels in distresses that are both usually being imprisoned in tall towers, waiting for our prince charming's to come and rescue us," said Peach, "and… that's something we're not proud of."
"Peach and I are looking at The Amazing Race as an opportunity to prove to everyone that we're not as useless as we seem, and that we actually can make it out there in the world," said Daisy. "If we do get kidnapped while running this race, then… by golly help us.
END:
"FOX & KRYSTAL: Dating mercenaries of Star Fox from the Lylat system."
INTERVIEW:
"I think Fox and I are definitely two of the most competitive people that you'll ever meet," said Krystal, "and with our mercenary backgrounds, we're even a bit aggressive as well."
"Being leader of the Star Fox team, I'm basically used to being in control," said Fox. "This race just might have a huge impact on our relationship. In fact, I'd say our biggest advantage of course would be that Krystal and I are not quitters, and that we'll do whatever it takes to win."
END:
"POPO & NANA: Ice-climbers and very close friends hoping for a deeper relationship."
INTERVIEW:
"I like to hang out and climb mountains with my best friend, Nana," said Popo. "Basically nothing can keep us apart."
"Hopefully, this race will be able to evolve our friendship into a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship," said Nana, "and I hope I'll be able to get Popo to realize that he loves me. I definitely do want to be with him forever."
END:
"KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: Dating in a long distance relationship."
INTERVIEW:
"I'm from the Kanto region in the Pokémon world, and he's from Dream Land in his world," said Jigglypuff. "Being in a long distance relationship, times when we're together are very rare, but, regardless, we're like two puffballs in a pod. We're like, the cutest couple out there… ever." She then started laughing, which made Kirby roll his eyes.
"Jigglypuff is usually known for wanting to get attention and singing in front of people… and ends up putting them to sleep in the process due to the sleepy nature of her powerful singing," said Kirby. "If she puts me to sleep while we're racing, then… pretty much, I'll have no other choice but to kill her."
END:
"BOWSER & BOWSER JR: Father and son from Mushroom Kingdom."
INTERVIEW:
"When I'm old and had my fun with trying to take over the world, my son is going to carry on the job," said Bowser. "Except, there are still some things about him that I don't think I'll ever understand about him."
"I'm my own independent self; I don't have to wait till I'm older to conquer Mushroom Kingdom," said Bowser Jr. "With my high intellect, I can get whatever I want, so this race better get my Dad to understand me, and to stop trying to control every move that I make. When there's a certain situation that we get ourselves into on this race, I want him to let me take over for once."
END:
"MARIO & LUIGI: Brothers and plumbers that are also from Mushroom Kingdom."
INTERVIEW:
"Half of the-a time, we are on plumber duty," said Mario, "and the other half of the-a time, we're-a usually trying to save the world from-a evil. If this-a race means taking a break from our-a usual daily lives, then we'll-a look at it as a vacation."
"Yep," said Luigi.
END:
"NESS & LUCAS: Best friends from the town of Onett in Eagleland."
INTERVIEW:
"I like to hang around with my best buddy, Ness," said Lucas. "I don't like to be alone; otherwise I get very sad and very lonely."
"Lucas is probably one of the most sensitive kids that you'll ever meet, and I'm actually not annoyed by that," said Ness. "I have a feeling that the whole time we're on the race together, he'll be nothing but happy, so if that's an advantage that'll help us win, then I might as well take it."
END:
"MARTH & IKE: Swordsmen and rivals from Akaneia."
INTERVIEW:
"I don't know if you could say Marth and I are friends," said Ike, "our friendship is more like a rivalry, you know."
"Ike and I are always trying to outdo each other, and be better than each other," said Marth, "but, at the end of the day, we're still able to work together and solve whatever problem is in front of us, and we're going to use that to our advantage in this race."
END:
"POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: Best friends from the Johto region."
INTERVIEW:
"I do everything that my master says," said Lucario, "and we know how to get along and work together as well. Nothing can ever change that."
"I want to win," said an enthusiastic Pokémon Trainer, "I want to win this race so badly! I hope that our friendship, teamwork and communication skills will help us cross that finish line first. That way, we'll be able to get the million dollars and become rich!"
END:
"DONKEY KONG & DIDDY KONG: Uncle and nephew from Donkey Kong Island."
INTERVIEW:
"Uncle and I love to spend time together," said Diddy Kong. "It doesn't matter whether it's sitting back eating bananas or saving our bananas from thieves, we always have a blast."
"For us, everyday is like Father's Day," said Donkey Kong. "Nothing can ever compare to the bond that I share with my nephew, and so I feel that our teamwork will definitely help us win this race."
"Someday, I want to be just like him," said Diddy Kong.
END:
The scene then showed the teams walking in a straight line towards the starting line together.
"Can these teams stand up to the pressures of traveling together across hundreds and thousands of miles," said Toad, "Who will muster the right combination of brains, brawn, and teamwork to win the one million dollars? Nine teams will be eliminated, two teams will fall short, and only one… will win it all. We're about to begin…The Amazing Race." Toad was then seen walking away.
Pretty soon, the scene shifted to a vast, wide-open field where all the teams were lined up next to one another. Toad was then shown facing all of all of them at a small distance.
"Well, in just a few minutes, you'll all be going to be on a race around the video game universe," said Toad, "and as you travel, you'll have to complete various tasks. Some of these tasks are going to be physically challenging while all the other tasks are going to challenge your mind. At the end of each leg, there is a pit stop. Eight of these pit stops are elimination points, so you need to get to them as fast as you can, because if you're last…you'll be eliminated. And you better be on your guard as well, because this race is going to be full of many unexpected surprises."
Some of the teams gasped at what Toad just said, while some others just looked a bit confused.
"In fact, just up ahead is the first surprise," Toad said once more. "If you take a look beyond your backpacks, you'll see a big parking lot full of go-karts. On the hood of each go-kart is a symbol. Eleven of those symbols all represent a Mario Kart icon. Now here's what you must do, once you've run up to your backpacks and have read your clues, you must find a go-kart with the right symbol on it. Once you've found a go-kart that you think is correct, you must bring it to me. If you're right, you'll be granted access to the Mario Kart racetrack called, Luigi Raceway, which is not too far away from here. You'll also be granted access to the go-kart itself as well. But, like I said before, there are only eleven go-karts with the right symbols on them, meaning only one thing. If a team is unable to bring me one of the right go-karts in time, they will be eliminated…right here. That's right, which means one team… won't be able to get passed the starting line."
Everyone suddenly exchanged shocked glances towards one another, and desperation immediately filled everyone's systems.
"Does everyone understand what's at stake here?" Toad asked.
Every one nodded their heads showing that they understood.
"Alright, but don't forget," said Toad, "in the very end, the first team to cross the finish line, after twelve legs, will win…one million dollars."
Suddenly all of the teams started cheering. Jigglypuff was shown jumping up and down all excitedly, Ness & Lucas were shown giving each other high fives, and Bowser & Bowser Jr. were shown blowing fire out of their mouths to show off their excitement.
"Alright then," said Toad once more, "well I wish you all the best of luck-"
Everyone immediately got into their running positions.
"Travel safe-"
Some people had excited looks on their faces, while others looked a bit scared.
"…GO!"
All of the teams then immediately ran extremely fast towards their back packs.
"Oh my gosh!" said Zelda.
"Come on, let's go!" yelled Fox.
"Let's do this!" said Ike.
"Woooo!" cried Peach.
Once all twelve teams had gotten to their backpacks, everyone picked up their clues, ripped them open, and started reading them.
"Find the right go-kart," said a panting Jigglypuff, "that's hidden among-"
"Over a hundred other go-karts," said Ness.
"Yowza!" said Luigi, "Only eleven of those-a go-karts-"
"Allow you to go ahead," said Donkey Kong.
"Once you've found the right one- "said Fox.
"You must bring it to Toad," said Bowser. "If you are correct-"
"You'll be granted access to the Mario Kart racetrack," said Nana.
"Hurry, hurry, go-karts are first come, first served," said Zelda.
"You have one-hundred and seven dollars for this leg of the race, pika," said Pikachu.
Once everyone finished reading their clues, they then started running into the parking lot full of go-karts.
"All right, so we have to find a go-kart with the right Mario Kart symbol," said Samus to Pikachu.
"We can do it Krystal," said Fox, "we'll find it."
As everyone was seen scrambling all around the go-karts searching everywhere, the scene shifted to Ness & Lucas as they were shown searching around. Suddenly, Lucas pointed towards a go-kart with a star symbol.
"Ness, I think it's this one."
"Ok, let's try it." said Ness. He and Lucas then got into it and started it up in order to drive it to Toad.
CONFESSIONAL:
NESS & LUCAS: Best Friends
"I feel like I could probably be the most focused person out there," said Lucas, "and Ness feels like he could probably be the most patient person out there, and when you put those two things together, we believe that makes a strong team."
"Lucas and I have a lot of experience with going through many trials and handling adversity," said Ness. "We don't let anything stand in our way when we want our way, and I think that's definitely going to give us the upper hand."
END:
Bowser & Bowser were then shown coming across a go-kart with a mushroom symbol.
"It's obviously this one," said Bowser Jr.
"Alright, then get in!" yelled Bowser.
Then it was Link & Zelda who were shown coming across a go-kart that strangely had the letter "M" on it for a symbol.
"Zelda, maybe this one could be it," said Link.
"Ok then, we'll try it," said Zelda.
The first few teams of people who thought they had already found their go-karts then drove them over to Toad.
"Whoa!" Toad yelled as those teams were speeding up towards him near the mat. "One team at a time guys, one team at a time!" He then let Bowser & Bowser Jr. go first.
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: mushroom symbol
"That is not correct," said Toad.
"Crap!" said Bowser Jr. They then drove and parked the go-kart at a random corner, and ran back into the field.
PEACH & DAISY: mushroom symbol
"That is not correct," said Toad.
"Ok, let's try the one we saw back there," said Daisy as they started doing the same thing that Bowser & Bowser Jr. did.
NESS & LUCAS: star symbol
"That is not correct," said Toad.
"Ugh!" said Ness. "We've got to try that again!"
LINK & ZELDA: "M" symbol
Toad looked at it carefully.
"…That is correct; you may stand over there with your go-kart," said Toad.
At that moment, Both Link & Zelda both yelled and cheered with excitement.
"Oh man," said Link, "I can't believe we got it first! This is awesome!"
After that, a few more teams started driving up to Toad as they also believed that they had already found the right go-karts.
MARTH & IKE: red shell symbol
"That is not correct," Toad said once more.
"Dang!" Ike yelled.
POPO & NANA: banana symbol
"That is not correct"
"Gosh darn it!" said Popo.
KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: "M" symbol
Toad once again looked carefully.
"That is correct; you two may stand next to Link & Zelda," Toad confirmed.
Jigglypuff then screamed her head off in excitement.
"We did it, we did it! We're on the Amazing Race!" said Jigglypuff enthusiastically.
While other teams were still searching, Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong were shown watching the whole thing for a bit, and they were starting to get a bit anxious about it.
"We can do it Diddy," said Donkey Kong, "one of them is around here somewhere."
CONFESSIONAL:
DONKEY KONG & DIDDYKONG: Uncle/Nephew
"That first challenge was probably one of the most if not the most nerve racking thing I've ever done in my life," said Diddy Kong, "finding that go-kart with the right symbol was really hard."
POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: Best Friends
"The symbol that was on the go-kart was just so obvious," said Pokémon Trainer, "and with how nervous were about it, we were just caught so off guard, it wasn't even funny."
END:
Meanwhile, Popo & Nana were shown trying as hard as they could to stay focused while searching for their next go-kart.
"We got this, Nana," said Popo, "we'll find it."
CONFESSIONAL:
POPO & NANA: Close Friends
"Nana and I are very close," said Popo. "She's my very best friend. We always know how to work together, and we always know how to stay positive when the going gets tough."
"I've had feelings for Popo for quite some time, but I try not to tell him about it," said Nana. "I try to let him figure it out by himself, and so far, he's only gotten as far as how aware he is of how close we are. Hopefully, that might be a very good sign."
END:
Peach & Daisy were then shown driving up to Toad again with another go-kart.
PEACH & DAISY: "M" symbol
"That is correct; you may stand with the other two teams," said Toad.
Both Peach and Daisy cheered with joy.
"I can't believe we found it third," said Peach, "this is just so wonderful Daisy!"
"Yeah, I know, it really is wonderful!" said Daisy.
MARIO & LUIGI: checkered flag symbol
"That is not correct."
"Mama Mia!" cried Mario.
SAMUS & PIKACHU: mushroom symbol
"That is not correct."
"Are you freaking' kidding me!" said Samus.
FOX & KRYSTAL: "M" symbol
"That is correct: you may stand with the other teams," said Toad.
"YES!" said Fox.
"Alright, we got it! WOOHOO!" cried Krystal.
As Bowser & Bowser kept hearing other teams getting the right go-karts while they were still looking around, Bowser was getting really aggravated.
"Where is the freaking go-kart!?" yelled Bowser.
CONFESSIONAL:
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.:Father/Son
"I get frustrated when things don't go my way, and I especially don't like losing," said Bowser. "There was no way that we were going to lose at the starting line just because of a stupid go-kart, so I started getting really serious."
END:
Bowser & Bowser Jr. then came across a go-kart that they were absolutely shore was the right one, and started driving it towards Toad. When they stopped right next to him, Toad got a look at it.
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: checkered flag symbol
"That is not correct!"
"Seriously?!" cried Bowser. He then let Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong go next.
DONKEY KONG & DIDDY KONG: "M" symbol
"That is correct; you may stand with the others," said Toad.
"Yes!" cried Diddy Kong. "We got it Uncle, we got it!"
"I can't believe this!" said Donkey Kong. "We're on the freaking Amazing Race!"
SAMUS & PIKACHU: "M" symbol
"That is correct: you may stand with the other teams," said Toad.
"Yes!" said Pikachu. "We found it Samus, we found it, pika!"
After watching Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong and Samus & Pikachu get the right go-karts after they got it wrong, Bowser got really irritated and very frustrated.
"Jr., you're not looking good enough!" said Bowser.
"I'm looking as best as I can Dad!" said Bowser Jr. "My Gosh!"
P.T. & Lucario were then the next team to drive up to Toad at the mat with a go-kart they thought was correct.
POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: "M" symbol
"That is correct; you may stand with the other teams," Toad said once more.
"Alright!" cried P.T. "Good Job Lucario, I'm so proud of you already!"
"Any time my good friend," said Lucario, "and good job to you too."
Meanwhile, all the other teams that still hadn't found a go-kart yet were starting to get stressed out.
"There's-a only four left Luigi, we gotta hurry," said Mario.
"I know; I'm-a trying," said Luigi.
Popo & Nana were then shown driving up to Toad with a go-kart they hopefully thought was correct.
POPO & NANA: green shell symbol
"That is not correct," said Toad.
At that, Nana was starting to get worried.
"It's ok, Nana, don't worry, we'll find it," said Popo as they let Bowser & Bowser Jr. go next.
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: "M" symbol
"That is corre-"
"YES, FINALLY!" Bowser yelled as he interrupted Toad.
"Let's get the heck outta here," said Bowser Jr. as they headed toward the other teams that had already got their go-karts.
NESS & LUCAS: golden coin symbol
"I'm sorry, that's not correct," said Toad.
Lucas was then starting to panic.
"Ness, I don't… I, I can't… Ness... NESS! I CAN'T FIND IT!" said Lucas getting all frantic.
"It's ok, Lucas, just don't panic!" said Ness.
MARIO & LUIGI: "M" symbol
"That is correct, congratulations," said Toad.
"YES-A!" said Mario.
"Thank-a goodness," said Luigi with a sigh of relief. "We-a made it!"
MARTH & IKE: "M" symbol
"Congratulations, you are correct."
"Awe, YES!" Ike cheered.
"Thank you so much, Toad," said Marth.
It all then came down to only Popo & Nana and Ness & Lucas.
"Guys," Toad yelled to the last two teams, "there's only one go-kart left."
All of suddenly, Popo & Nana and Ness & Lucas became very scared. Meanwhile, all of the other teams looked on all worriedly as they bared witness to this ordeal.
"Oh my gosh," said Zelda.
"I-a feel scared just-a watching them," said Luigi.
"It's going to be so heart-breaking after this, pika," said Pikachu.
"Oh geez, I can't bear to watch this," said Jigglypuff, closing her eyes a bit while still sneaking some peaks.
Popo & Nana and Ness & Lucas were then shown scrambling all around the go-karts with desperate looks.
"I can't believe this," said Lucas, "this can't be happening to us!"
"I'm so scared," said Nana, "I don't know what to do now!"
"We're screwed!" said Ness.
…
"I can't believe this, this can't be happening to us!" said Lucas.
"We'll find it Nana," said Popo, "just keep your head up."
CONFESSIONAL:
POPO & NANA: Close Friends
"We were just so scared out of our wits, we didn't know what to do," said Popo, "so we decided to look at the clue again to see if there was any more information on what we were looking for. That was when we saw this tiny little figure at the bottom side of the clue."
The scene shifted to the bottom of the clue showing a small, faded letter "M."
NESS & LUCAS: Best Friends
"That was where we saw the symbol that we were looking for, so we starting looking extremely carefully," said Ness.
END:
Popo & Nana were then shown going to the right side of the field while Ness & Lucas went to the left side of the field. At that, both teams starting looking extremely carefully. While doing so, Lucas saw a go-kart containing something very interesting on its hood, and he suddenly froze in his tracks.
"Ness, I think this one is it," said Lucas.
"Alright then, let's bring it to him," said Ness. They then got into it, started it up, and started driving it to Toad.
Meanwhile, Popo & Nana then saw Ness & Lucas driving it towards Toad.
"Oh no," cried Nana. "Popo, I think they found it."
"Don't worry about it, Nana, just keep looking," said Popo.
All of the other teams continued looking on as they saw Ness & Lucas driving up to Toad.
"Do you think they have it?" asked Daisy.
"I don't know," said Peach.
Ness & Lucas then drove up to Toad with the go-kart they believed was correct.
"Come on, come on, it has to be correct, it has to!" cried Lucas as they drove up to Toad.
Toad studied it carefully… and the go-kart had the "M" symbol on it.
"Congratulations, you are correct," Toad confirmed.
Suddenly, everyone started cheering with joy for Ness & Lucas.
"Oh no!" said Nana.
Ness & Lucas then suddenly jumped out of the go-kart all excitedly and hugged each other happily in celebration. Meanwhile, both Popo & Nana were embracing and hugging each other while everyone cheered.
"It's ok, Nana, it's alright," said Popo.
"I can't believe it!" cried Lucas, "I can't believe we made it!"
"Can you believe it buddy!? We're on the amazing race!" cried Ness as well. They had never felt so happy.
Ness & Lucas then walked over to the other teams with their go-kart feeling extremely happy. When they got over to them, the other teams started hugging them and congratulated them. After that, however, they all then sadly looked over to Popo & Nana, who were both walking over to Toad at the mat.
"…Popo and Nana," said Toad, "… I'm sorry to tell you there are no more go-karts with Mario Kart symbols-"
Popo & Nana both looked at him sadly as they knew what was coming.
"-and I'm very sorry to tell you, you have been eliminated from the race."
POPO & NANA: Eliminated
Popo & Nana then hugged and comforted each other once again, and Nana started sobbing. A few seconds later, however, she then wiped her face.
"I'm so upset and disappointed," said Nana. "I never wanted us to go out like this."
"We would've loved to have gone further ahead, but there's nothing we can do about it now," said Popo, who was looking all regretful. "I really wish we could've found the figure at the bottom of the clue a lot sooner."
All of the other teams looked on at the sad loss of one of their teams. They would all talk to the camera as they did so.
"It feels really sad to just see a team getting eliminated just like that," said Krystal. "It just doesn't feel right at all."
"They seem like a really cute couple," said Peach. "I really wish they could've made the cut."
"I most certainly wouldn't have wanted to have been in the situation they were in," said Lucario. "I don't believe this should have happened to any of us."
"I guess when it comes down to it," said Ike, "there's not much control you have over this game, and it's really sad, but unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it."
"I'm-a gonna miss them," said Mario, "they would've made a great team to compete against."
The scene then shifted back to Popo & Nana standing in front of Toad at the mat.
"We're very disappointed to be the first team eliminated, especially at the start of the race," said Popo, "but, I'm proud of how we played anyways, and I'm especially proud of Nana."
"Thank you," said an emotional Nana. "…I love you, Popo."
"…Same here…Nana," said Popo.
All of the other teams would continue to take one last look at Popo & Nana before departing.
…
When all was said and done, all of the teams were in their go-karts and were all shown piled up against one another in front of the gate. They had all started their engines as they were all ready to get the show on the road. Before the teams knew it, the gate had opened, and all the teams suddenly speed up and started driving into the highway. The race was officially on.
"Wooo hoooo!" cried Peach.
"Alright, we're on our way!" said Donkey Kong.
"Come on Dad," said Bowser Jr., "let's get the heck out of here! Go, go, go, go, go, go!"
All of the teams were then shown driving in a long straight line going down the road at high speeds. Link & Zelda had decided to let Mario & Luigi go first in line. Pretty soon, they were all heading towards an intersection.
"Alright-a, perfect, we're in first place," said Mario. "You remember where Luigi Raceway is, right-a?"
"Yes-a, you have to turn right," said Luigi. Once they go to the intersection, that's what they did.
Link & Zelda, who were shown driving behind them meanwhile, were discussing about what to do next.
"Link, Mario & Luigi are both from this place. I say we should follow them," said Zelda.
"Yeah, good idea," said Link, who then started following them. After that, Bowser & Bowser Jr., Fox & Krystal, Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong, and Pokémon Trainer & Lucario were following them too. When it was Peach & Daisy's turn at the intersection, Peach instead decided to go straight ahead.
"Peach, what are you doing!" said Daisy, "the other teams are going that way!" she said pointing to the right.
"Don't worry, I know a short-cut to Luigi Raceway," said Peach.
"You do?"
"Of course I do," Peach confirmed, "I rule Mushroom Kingdom, remember? I know everything there is to know about this place."
"Oh, yeah, I forgot. That's good."
CONFESSIONAL:
PEACH & DAISY: Princesses/Best Friends
"We may not look like it, but there's a lot more to us than what meets the eye," said Daisy.
"We may not have as much common sense as the other teams may have," said Peach, "but we do have the strategic minds and the advantages of being Royal that I think will definitely give us the upper hand while running this race. What I'm most concerned about, however, is if Daisy and I will be able to get along."
"Oh, I'm sure we'll get along quite well, Peach," said Daisy in a tone of humor, and they both then started laughing.
END:
As Peach & Daisy were driving straight ahead, it was Ness & Lucas's turn at the intersection.
"Ness, Peach & Daisy are going a different way," said Lucas, "what do I do?"
"I say we follow them," said Ness.
"Are sure?"
"Trust me; if anyone knows this place the best, it has to be Princess Peach." And so they followed them. After that, Kirby & Jigglypuff, Marth & Ike, and Samus & Pikachu had decided to follow them as well.
The scene then shifted towards the teams following Mario & Luigi. As Link & Zelda were carefully keeping their eyes on them, they then suddenly heard a loud boom from the hood of their go-kart.
"What the!" cried Link. "What was that!?"
Their go-kart was then suddenly slowing down, which made the four other teams behind them slow down as well.
"Link, what's going on with our go-kart?" said Zelda.
"I don't know."
The teams that were behind them were started to get cranky.
"Oh, get out of here!" said Bowser.
"Fox, why's everyone slowing down?" asked Krystal.
"Uh oh, something's going on with one of the racers up front," said Donkey Kong.
"What the heck!" P.T. bellowed. "Why is everyone just slowing down in the middle of the road!?"
"Link, you've got to do something, quick!" said Zelda.
"I don't know what to do, Zel, I've never had experience with a go-kart before!"
"Well, neither have I!"
Mario & Luigi, who were ahead of Link & Zelda, were shown getting further and further away.
"What's-a happening back there?" asked Mario.
"What the," said Luigi as he looked back. "The teams behind us are-a stopping!"
"No way, this-a means we've-a got a bigger lead now!"
As Mario & Luigi were speeding up ahead, Link & Zelda's go-kart was shown to have stopped. The teams that were behind them were getting really impatient as they started honking their horns.
"Ok, that's it, I'm passing them," said Bowser. He then started backing away a bit, drove around Link & Zelda and then drove on ahead.
"Fox, Bowser & Bowser Jr. are passing them," said Krystal, "I say we do that too."
"Yeah, good idea," said Fox as they started doing what the two koopas did. Pretty soon, all of the other teams that were behind started doing the same.
"Oh no," Zelda panicked as she saw the rest of the teams passing them, "Link, all the other teams are passing us!"
"Oh, that is just great!" said Link.
"Woo, hoo!" shouted P.T. as they were the last team to pass them, "now that's what I'm talking about!"
Before they knew it, Link & Zelda were then officially stranded.
"Great," said Zelda, "what are we going to do now?"
"Here, I'm getting out," said Link.
The scene then shifted back to the teams following Peach & Daisy.
"I was going to follow Mario & Luigi," said Ike, "but something told me that Peach & Daisy might know something about this place that nobody else knows, so that's why I'm following them."
INTERVIEW:
MARTH & IKE: Rivals
"I'm going to be running this race my way," said Ike, "I don't trust Marth's instincts or anyone else's instincts. I'm only going to be playing by my terms and my rules. I play to win."
"When it comes between Ike and I, he thinks he's the superior one," said Marth. "I'm actually ok with that and all, but I just hope he doesn't let that get to his head. Because, if he's not careful, he might get us in a situation that I don't think we'll be able to get ourselves out of."
END:
"Just don't get us lost, Ike, that's all we don't need right now," said Marth.
"Of course I won't get us lost, I'm the best," said Ike.
Just behind them, Kirby & Jigglypuff were doing their very best not to mess up.
"You ok back there, Jigglypuff?" asked Kirby.
"Are you kidding, I feel so alive!" cried Jigglypuff. "I've never felt so excited for anything before in my life, it just makes me want to sing a song about it!" She then started to take out here little microphone.
"NO!" Kirby then suddenly yelled which made him nearly swerve their go-kart off the road. This made Jigglypuff suddenly stop herself from singing. After much struggle, Kirby was eventually able to control their go-kart and get it to safely drive on the road again.
"Jigglypuff, please don't sing while I'm driving," Kirby said, which made Jigglypuff look a bit disappointed. "Please, Jiggs, not right now, remember what we talked about?"
"Oh, right," Jigglypuff then put here microphone back. "Sorry, Kirby, I forgot. BUT STILL! I'm so, so, so, so, excited!"
"Poyo," Kirby sighed.
CONFESSIONAL:
KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: Long Distance Dating
"Yeah, Jigglypuff can be a bit enthusiastic at times –ok, scratch that. She's enthusiastic all the time," said Kirby. Plus, she can cause mishaps here and there, but still, what you've got to admire about her are three things: here energy, her tenacity, and all in all, her attitude, and attitude can most definitely make this race."
END:
The scene then shifted back to Link & Zelda. Link opened up the hood of the go-kart and there was thick smoke coming out of it.
"Link, what wrong with it?" said Zelda.
Link was blowing away the smoke with his arms, and looked inside the go-kart.
"What the heck!?" cried Link. "The engine blew up!"
"What? How is that even possible?"
"I'm not sure, but it doesn't look like this thing is ever going to run again."
Zelda just stood there dumbfounded. "Well, what do you know? We were the first team to find a go-kart back there, and yet, we ended up getting a faulty one; how brilliant!"
"Oh well, it looks like we're going to have to get a new go-kart then," said Link.
…
"If a go-kart breaks down through no fault of the team, or becomes unsafe to drive," said Toad, "the rule is that a replacement go-kart may be given to the team. However, no time credit will be given for this unlucky situation."
…
Pretty soon, Link & Zelda's replacement go-kart was driving towards them and they were saved.
"Alright, are you ready to try again, Zelda?" asked Link as they got into their new and fully functioned go-kart.
"Yes, ready as always," Zelda confirmed. "Now, let's step on it, Link!"
"Alright then, let's get out of here," said Link as he started driving. Link & Zelda were back on the road.
The scene then shifted back to the group following Peach & Daisy.
"Are you ok, Samus, Pika," said Pikachu. Samus was looking a bit tense as she was steering the steering wheel.
Samus nodded. "Just making sure we don't fall behind," said Samus.
"There's no need to worry, Samus, you totally got this. We can win, pika."
"I'm not worrying, Pikachu, I'm only keeping my guard and being cautious about all of the other teams. I'm not going to have us lose."
CONFESSIONAL:
SAMUS & PIKACHU: Best Friends
"I'm really happy to have Samus as a partner," said Pikachu, "she's focused and keeps her head in gear. I like that about her, pika."
"Because I'm used to being a bounty hunter and everything, I'm always on my guard for anything," said Samus, "but I don't let that get in the way of Pikachu and I's friendship, either. I make sure of that completely."
END:
The scene then shifted back to the group who were following Mario & Luigi, that is, before they lost them.
"Where the heck are those two little twerps!" yelled Bowser.
"Dad, let's just forget about them. I say we just buy a map and-"
"Would you shut up, son," Bowser rudely interrupted him, "I know what I'm doing!"
"Come on, Dad, I'm just trying to help you out here!"
CONFESSIONAL:
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: Father/Son
"I love my son, actually," said Bowser, "he's one of the best things that ever happened to me. I just feel, however, that the best way to raise him and to get him to become a great evil genius like me in the near future is by being harsh and acting hard on him. That way, I believe it'll help him learn better."
"I'm not sure if I really like my father at all to be honest," said Bowser Jr. "He's annoying, and he's mean, and he's hard on me all the time. He's just really awful, and I can't stand him. The only reason why I'm running this race with him is because we believe that with both of our intellects and our evil, strategic personalities put together, we'll be able to make a strong team. Both of us are just so determined to win, maybe even a little too determined.
END:
The scene then shifted to Fox & Krystal. They had decided to find the Mario Kart racetrack on their own.
"What's this place called again?" asked Fox.
"Luigi Raceway," confirmed Krystal.
"Ok, good, that means we're in the right direction." He said as he saw a big green sign pointing to where and how far Luigi Raceway was.
CONFESSIONAL:
FOX & KRYSTAL: Dating
"Fox is probably the most wonderful partner that anyone like me could ever ask for," said Krystal. "In fact, Fox is more than a partner to me; he is my best friend and my absolute soul mate. Whenever I'm around him, I feel like anything is possible, because we know how to work together in many serious situations, and we are always good at communicating.
END:
Link & Zelda, on the other hand, were having trouble trying to find their way around Mushroom Kingdom now that they had been separated from the group following Mario & Luigi.
"I don't see any other teams anywhere, Link, we're lost," said Zelda.
"We're probably going to have to figure it out on our own then," said Link, "except, I don't have any idea where I'm going."
Zelda gasped. "Oh my gosh, Link, don't say things like that! Not while we're on the race; that makes me feel anxious."
"Ok, ok, alright, I won't say it then!"
"Look, why don't we go in there and see if we can ask for directions or something," she said pointing towards a small convenience store.
"Alright, fine." Link then drove their go-kart into the parking lot of the convenient store, and the Hylian couple then went inside the convenient store. When they had gotten in there, they had decided to get a map with their race money. They then went up to the counter by the front entrance of the store.
"Excuse me sir," Linked asked the little store clerk as he was helping purchasing their map. "Can you tell us where Luigi Raceway is?"
Over the next few minutes, the clerk would write down little lines on the map with a pen while providing directions for them.
"Alright, thank you sir, we appreciate it," said Zelda as they were leaving the store.
"Oki Doki, no problem," said the store clerk.
"Alright, now we know where to go," said Link as they were heading back to their go-kart.
Meanwhile, Bowser & Bowser were having similar troubles with figuring out where to go.
"Dad, we've been searching for like an hour trying to find Mario & Luigi," Bowser Jr. complained.
Bowser, feeling annoyed, just growled at him in response.
"How can you not remember where Luigi Raceway is?" said Bowser Jr. "I mean, you've been there before for crying out loud!"
"Shut up Jr., I- I know what I'm doing, I just- I just don't know what to do. It's all that Link & Zelda team's fault!"
"Dad, don't call me Jr., that's annoying."
"I'm going to continue calling you Jr. if you don't shut your muzzle!"
Bowser Jr. just sighed. Over the next ten minutes, when they were continuing to not make any progress with figuring out where to go, Bowser Jr. was developing the urge to take over and drive the go-kart. "Dad, you know what, just let me drive."
Bowser then suddenly stopped the go-kart in frustration after that.
"No, son, I'm the one driving this go-kart! You're not driving it!"
"Well, why can't I?"
"Because I'm bigger than you, smarter than you, and better than you, and there's nothing you can do about it!"
"Oh, give me a break, would ya!? You're being a jerk!"
"Shut up, Jr.!"
Meanwhile, Link & Zelda had suddenly passed them.
"What the- where did they come from!?" said Bowser. He was even surprised that they even got a new go-kart as it looked different from the one that cause them to break down.
"They must know where the place is somehow," said Bowser Jr., "I say we should follow them."
"No son, I say we should…"but Bowser knew that his son had a point, and had a great idea, so with great reluctance, he finally gave in. "Alright, fine, we'll follow them."
As Bowser started driving behind Link & Zelda, Bowser Jr. just sat there feeling satisfied and feeling good about himself, knowing that his father finally did what he asked him to do.
Meanwhile, Peach & Daisy were getting further and further in the lead as they had found the short-cut that lead them to Luigi Raceway. With Ness & Lucas, Kirby & Jigglypuff, Marth & Ike, and Samus & Pikachu following them, they were driving through a long tunnel that went underground. Pretty soon, they had gotten out of the tunnel, and suddenly, they had all spotted Luigi Raceway.
"Oh my gosh, there it is!" cried Jigglypuff, pointing toward the stadium.
"That must be it," said Samus as Pikachu suddenly jumped onto her shoulder to get a good look at it.
"Well, here we are, Daisy," said Peach. "That is the famous Luigi Raceway."
Daisy looked at it in awe.
Pretty soon, all five teams had entered the parking lot that was outside of the racetrack. They were all driving around looking for clues, but that was pretty hard to do as the place was almost packed. There were tent camping areas everywhere, and people were walking and talking all over the place.
"Geez, this place is crowded, pika," said Pikachu.
A few seconds later, Marth saw something interesting.
"Look, Ike, I see the red and yellow route marker," Marth said, pointing towards a red and yellow flag that waved in the wind. It was pointing towards where to find the clue-box.
"Alright, good," said Ike as he then started driving toward it. When the other teams spotted it too, they started driving behind them.
Soon, the teams had gotten out of their go-karts and started heading for the clue-box. Marth was the first one to get one, then Peach, then Kirby, then Samus, and then Lucas. Marth then ripped open his clue and started reading it.
"Congratulations, you've found Luigi Raceway…" Marth read.
"But even though it may not look like it, the place is closed, and won't open until tomorrow, oh man!" said Lucas.
"You'll have to spend the night here, so a tent camping area has been provided for you…" Peach read.
"Each of those tents have numbers on them, and those numbers will determine which teams will be going first in tomorrow's challenge," read Samus.
…
"Teams must now search the entirety of the parking lot outside of Luigi Raceway, and make their way to the tent camping area that has been provided for the eleven teams to spend the night in," said Toad. "They must search for tents that have the lowest numbers on them. Teams have to touch the tents in order to obtain them. Finding the earliest number is crucial, because the first eight teams that have tents with the numbers 1 through 8 on them will be the first teams to participate in the challenge tomorrow. The last three teams with tents that have the numbers 9, 10, and 11 on them will have to wait their turns. Once teams have picked out their tents, they cannot change their minds.
…
"Hurry, hurry, tents are first come, first served," read Kirby.
"Alright, let's go, Peach," said Daisy.
After that, the teams then got back into their go-karts and started searching around for the tent-camping area. Though, it was a very hard thing to do as people were always in their way while they were trying to find it. But, before they knew it, however, they had finally found the tent-camping area. It was specially guarded so that strangers would not enter it while the teams would sleep there.
"Look, Samus, those must be the tents with numbers on them, pika," said Pikachu.
When all five teams had entered it, they had all parked their go-karts in their respectful places, and had all gotten out. They all then went over to where the yellow tents were.
"Ok now, the clue said we have to pick a tent that will let us participate in tomorrows challenge first," said Samus to Pikachu.
"So we have to pick one of the first eight tents, right?" asked Daisy.
"Yes," said Peach.
"Tent number 1 is mine!" said Samus as they were all scuffling towards the tent that had the number 1 on it. Unfortunately for her, however, Lucas had already picked it as he had touched the tent first. The other teams turned around after that.

"Sorry, Samus," said Lucas as he and Ness put their bags down next to it.
Samus just glared at him.
"Here, Samus, I've token tent number 2, pika," said Pikachu, who was patting at the tent with his little, yellow hands.
"Alright, fine. Number 2 it is," she said, feeling a bit disappointed.
SAMUS & PIKACHU: starting tomorrows challenge in 2nd place
"We've got tent number 3," Ike said all proudly.

"We've got tent number 4," said Peach, albeit sounding a bit disappointed as they were the ones that found the racetrack first.

"We're getting tent number 9!" Jigglypuff yelled all excitedly as she ran up to it.
"No wait, Jigglypuff!" cried Kirby, "that's not the tent that we want!"
But it was too late; Jigglypuff had already touched the tent. All of the other teams, meanwhile, were looking at Jigglypuff curiously as to why she would just deliberately pick the wrong tent.
"Jigglypuff!" cried Kirby, "Why did you pick tent number 9!? Don't you realize what you've just done?!"
"What?" said Jigglypuff. "This tent is closest to the entrance of the racetrack, thus giving us a chance to get in there first, AND 9 is my favorite number."
Kirby just face palmed himself when he heard her say that. "Jiggs, only the first eight tents allow us to go first in tomorrow's challenge! The entrance to the racetrack doesn't have anything to do with going first. It's thanks to you we now have to wait our turn behind eight other teams in tomorrow's challenge!"
"Oh… oops," said Jigglypuff.
KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: starting tomorrows challenge in 9th place
Meanwhile, Mario & Luigi were getting closer and closer trying to find Luigi Raceway.
"Hey-a Luigi, do you see anything yet?" asked Mario.
"Hang on, I'm-a looking," said Luigi, squinting his eyes for any signs of anything. They then suddenly came up to a green that said:
LUIGI RACEWAY: JUST AROUND THE CORNER TO YOUR LEFT
"Look-a, Mario," said Luigi pointing towards the green sign, "we're-a almost here!"
"Yes, I-a see it," said Mario.
Pretty soon, they had spotted Luigi Raceway, and started heading their way into the parking lot. They then found the red and yellow route marker, and started heading towards the clue-box. Luigi got to be the one to get the clue, and started reading it.
"You must-a find the tent-a-camping area, and-a search for the-a earliest tent," Luigi read.
"Oki Doki, let's-a get back in the go-kart-a, and find it," said Mario.
Pretty soon after that, they had found the tent-camping area, and entered it.
"Look, Peach, Mario & Luigi are here!" said Daisy pointing towards them.
Pretty soon, all of the teams that were there saw them coming in. When they did, they parked their go-kart with all the others, and started searching around the tents.
"Alright-a, we have to find the earliest, possible tent-a," said Mario.
"Hey, Mario, Luigi," cried Peach, "take this one, it'll let you guys participate in the challenge first!" She said pointing towards the tent with the number 5 on it.
"Ok, thanks-a," said Luigi.
They then went over to the tent that had the number 5 on it, and touched it. It was now all theirs.

Meanwhile, Fox & Krystal had finally found Luigi Raceway, and became the next team to enter the crowded parking lot. Once they found the clue-box, Krystal got to be the one to read it.
"Hurry, Hurry, tents are first come first served," said Krystal as she finished reading it.
"Alright, let's go, Krystal," said Fox as they headed back towards their go-kart.
When they had found the tent-camping area, they then parked their go-kart with the other team's go-karts like Mario & Luigi did, got out of it, and were greeted by the other teams. Ness let them take the tent that had the number 6 on it.
"Thanks a lot, Ness," said Fox, giving him a high five.
"You're welcome," said Ness.
As Kirby watched Fox & Krystal touch tent number 6, Kirby was becoming more and more disappointed with Jigglypuff, so he started giving her the silent treatment. This made her feel upset, but she also started feeling guilty about it too.

Meanwhile, as the sun started going down, Pokémon Trainer & Lucario were getting closer and closer to Luigi Raceway.
"Which way do I go now," asked P.T.
"Turn left," said Lucario, reading a map. They too had gotten lost at some point.
"Alright then," P.T. then turned right like Lucario told him to. "Man, I really want to win this!"
CONFESSIONAL:
POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: Best Friends
"I'm very aware about how much my partner really wants to win that million dollars," said Lucario, "I feel like I want to win it too, but I don't show it as much as he does. The reason why is because I'm a pretty serious person, and I just try to stay focused a lot. I know, because that's usually the case when we're taking part in Pokémon battles."
"Lucario is extremely focused," said P.T., "and that's why I have him as a partner. He's the best, and there's nothing that can ever stop him from that. He's just that awesome."
This made Lucario blush a bit.
END:
Pretty soon, they were the next team to arrive at Luigi Raceway. As they entered the crowded parking lot, they saw Kirby at the entrance as Kirby had decided to help direct the rest of the teams. With his help, P.T. & Lucario had found it, and got their clue. P.T. got to be the one to rip it open and read it.
"Congratulations, you've found Luigi Raceway, blah, blah, blah; find the right tent, blah, blah, blah. Ok, come on, Lucario, let's go!" said P.T. as he finished reading the clue and started heading back towards their go-kart.
Once the two of them got back in their go-kart, Kirby directed them towards the tent-camping area, and showed them where to park their go-kart. P.T. & Lucario were then welcomed in and greeted upon by the teams that were already there, and they let them pick tent number 7.
"Alright, sweet!" said P.T. as he touched tent number 7.

Meanwhile, Ness, Fox, Pikachu and Samus were starting a campfire in the middle of the tent-camping area while others were gossiping.
"So it looks like the teams that are left are Link & Zelda, Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong, and Bowser & Bowser Jr.?" said Jigglypuff discussing with Peach, Daisy, and Krystal.
"Yep, that would be correct," said Krystal.
"I just hope Bowser & Bowser Jr. don't end up getting tent number 8," said Peach.
"Yeah, that would be horrible," said Daisy.
…
Back on the road, Link & Zelda and Bowser & Bowser Jr. had found Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong driving along as they too had gotten a bit lost in some way. When the two gorillas had spotted those two teams, they decided to follow them. When all three of those teams had finally made it Luigi Raceway, it then became a race between Link & Zelda, Bowser & Bowser Jr., and Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong.
When they all entered the crowded parking lot, Kirby directed them all towards the clue-box. Lucas had also decided to help. Link got their clue first, then Bowser, and then Diddy Kong. They all then ripped open their clues and started reading them.
"Congratulations, you've found Luigi Raceway…" Link read.
"But as you may have noticed, the place is closed and won't open until tomorrow…" Bowser read.
"You'll have to spend the night here, so a tent camping area has been provided for you…" Diddy Kong read.
"Hurry, hurry, tents are first come first served," they all read aloud.
All three teams then ran back towards their go-karts and Ness and Kirby helped direct them over to the tent-camping area, and where to park their go-karts. Once all of that was done, Link & Zelda, Bowser & Bowser Jr., and Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong starting racing against each other for the earliest tent that was left. All of the other teams were cheering for them. Link and Bowser were running neck and neck as they tried to get to tent number 8. Unfortunately for Link, however, Bowser ended up touching it first, making Bowser & Bowser Jr. the owners of tent number 8. They would be able to participate in tomorrow's challenge first with the other seven teams.
"Yes!" cried Bowser Jr., "We got it first, in your face!" he said to Link, causing him and Zelda to glare at him.

"I'm sorry Link," said Donkey Kong, patting him on his shoulder. "We'll let you guys take tent number 10." He said, letting Diddy Kong take tent number 11.

"Thanks, D.K.," said Link as Zelda went ahead and touched tent number 10.
"So everybody's here?" Zelda asked.
"Yep, that's-a everyone," Mario confirmed.
Pretty soon, night time had occurred, and everybody was sitting together by the campfire talking to each other. Ness & Lucas were talking with the other teams about how they almost got eliminated at the starting line.
"Boy, you guys must have been extremely scared, "said Link. "I bet y'all were extremely relieved after that."
"Yeah, we're very happy that we got in," said Ness, "it was a very close call. It's just very upsetting to say goodbye to a team so soon."
"Yeah, same here," said Lucas, "Though, I wish it didn't have to be at the expense of Popo & Nana."
Zelda nodded her head. "I felt awful for those two."
"Yes, me too," said Krystal from a distance.
"Me three," said Diddy Kong.
Ness just sat there quietly for a few seconds. "Still, Ness and I are going to carry on, and keep fighting until the very end," said Ness. "Let's do it for Popo & Nana, alright, Lucas?"
"Right," he said, giving him a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, Jigglypuff went to apologize to Kirby for her mistake.
"Kirby, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I didn't mean to act so silly, so will you please forgive me?" she said, giving him the kitten eyes.
Looking at her eyes, Kirby knew he couldn't hold back. "Oh, alright, you're forgiven; just don't make any more mistakes like that in the future, ok."
"YAY!" Jigglypuff cried, jumping up and down.
The eleven teams would spend the remainder of the night eating dinner by the campfire, and discussing about what tomorrows challenge would be. Luigi suggested that it might be a go-kart race, of course, Bowser didn't believe him. Later on, they all got into their sleeping bags, and slept in their tents for the remainder of the night, wondering about what would happen tomorrow.
