Episode 22: Tour De Crossover Part 2
First race: Luigi Circuit.
All 8 teams are ready at the starting line as Lakitu prepares the countdown.
Lakitu starts counting down: 3... 2... 1... START!
All the teams are off.
The Mario Bros take the lead and grabbed an item box. The item bar spins and it stops on a banana peel.
Mario: I know how to use this. (Eats the banana and tossed it behind them which made the Bowsers collide with it and spin out of control.)
Bowser Jr.: Why those little... (They get knocked back to 7th.)
Bowser: We'll get em for that. (Grabbed a double item box and got triple shrooms and an invincibility star.)
Bowser Jr: Oh this is going to be good! (Got extra boosting power and used the star to become invincible knocking a few opponents out of the way.)
(Pen Pals are currently in 3rd place.)
Twilight: Go to the right, there's some double item boxes right there!
Sunset: Way ahead of you. (Drove into one and got a red shell and a special attack.)
Twilight: I wonder what this does. (Tossed the shell forward and it hit the Tricksters.)
Trixie: Who dares hit the great and powerful Trixie?
Gilda: It was them, but we're going to get them back. (Grabs an item box and received a bob-omb.) This will get em back.
Trixie: Allow me! (She hurled the bomb forward and when it hit their target, it had no effect.) What? But how?
Twilight: Shield! Protects is from any attacks.
Trixie: No fair!
(Apple Siblings are currently in 5th.)
Apple Bloom: We're doing a fine job.
Applejack: Yeah, I'll grab that item box and we'll see what we get. (The moment they touched it, they got an item which reveals to be a mushroom but get hit by a fake itrm box which they didn't realize was mixed with the regular item box.) Didn't see that coming.
Final lap.
Top 4 so far.
1. Wonderbolts.
2. Pegasisters.
3. Pen Pals.
4. Mario Bros.
(Currently in last place: Ex-Sisters)
Luna: We are so far behind.
Celestia: We wouldn't be if you just grabbed two item boxes instead of one.
Luna: I don't even see where they are.
Celestia: Never mind, I'll take the wheel.
Luna: No you don't. I had it first so I drive.
Celestia: As if I'm going to let you keep us in the back of the pack. (All the swerving they were doing caused them to get hit by the Chain Chomp losing their items.)
Luna: Great! Look what you did.
Celestia: Forget them, just keep going!
(Currently in first: Mario Bros.)
Mario: Almost there!
Luigi: The finish line is just close.
(Just then, a blue shell comes flying in and an explosion sent them into the air while three teams passed them.)
Luigi: It was close, but then that happened.
(After that, the lightning just shocked the teams shrinking them all.)
Rainbow Dash: Who uses lightning to shrink people?
Scootaloo: I don't know who it was, but whoever it was, they're really falling behind.
End of Luigi Circuit. Final Results:
1st. Wonderbolts.
2nd. Pen Pals.
3rd. Pegasisters.
4th. Mario Bros.
5th. Tricksters.
6th. Bowsers.
7th. Apple Siblings.
8th. Ex-Sisters.
Spitfire: Cool! We won the first race.
Discord: Yes, but that was only the first race, you still have 15 more to go. I'll select the next stage randomly and I pick... (Snaps his fingers and they are now at a desert.)
Race 2/16: Dry Dry Desert
Discord: This stage! The next race our teams will be doing is... Dry Dry Desert! Racers, take your positions!
Lakitu begins the countdown again. 3... 2... 1... START!
The teams are off but the Tricksters fall behind getting a false start.
Trixie: That was so unfair!
Gilda: There's no way we're letting those losers beat us. After them!
(Audience's P.O.V)
Rarity: Why did it have to be another desert?
Spike: No idea, but it's better staying here than being on the racetrack. Let's see what going on with the racers.
(Bowsers: Now in 4th place.)
Bowser: Let's give these teams a little Bowser treatment. Grab the double item box son!
Bowser Jr: I'm on it. (Grabs it and got a Bowser shell along with triple green shells.)
Bowser: Look what I see! (Spots the Siblings up ahead.) Let's send them a little gift for payback.
Bowser Jr: Already on it. (Tossed the shell forward and it hits them.) Got them!
Applejack: Why does this always happen to us?
Apple Bloom: Uh, we got bigger problems than that. (It shows them being pulled into the sand until a giant piranha head eats them; shocking the audience.)
Koopa: What... the heck... was that?
Paratroopa: Don't you remember? It was the giant piranha head that eats you if you get sucked into that sand to the center.
Ringo: But look, they're alright!
(The screen shows them getting fished out by Lakitu and placed back on the racetrack.)
Wario: I'm sooo happy they're alive. That was sarcasm if you didn't notice.
(Cut back to the racetrack. Pen Pals are currently in 3rd.)
Twilight: Have you realized we've been to a lot of deserts lately?
Sunset: Yes, maybe, just maybe this is the only desert stage we have to do.
Twilight: Hope so, take the wheel. I'll get the item box.
(Wonderbolts are currently in the lead.)
Spitfire: See anyone?
Soarin: No, we're so far ahead, we must be good.
(That was until a spiny shell comes at them and blast them into the air in a big explosion.)
Spitfire: Didn't see that coming.
(Right when they landed, they get hit with a red shell flipping their kart twice before regaining control. This caused the Pen Pals and Mario Bros. to pass them.)
Soarin: We couldn't catch a break!
(They all come back to the area with all those pokies.)
Trixie: This will be a good time to use this. (Aims for the item box but get bumped by Rainbow Dash making them miss the double item box and it gets taken.)
Gilda: YOU CUT US OFF DASH! THAT WAS SO CHEATING!
Rainbow Dash: I can do that. Nothing in the rules says I can't.
(The Pegasisters drive off, and we now see the Bowsers catching up to the Tricksters.)
Bowser: Hey, you two up for some fun?
Gilda: If it will get us victory, then count us in.
Trixie: What's your plan?
Bowser Jr: We're going to target the teams *winks* accidentally, and keep at it until the race ends.
Gilda: You know what? Let's agree to work together to take down the other teams and promise that we will 'share' getting first place in each race.
Both teams: Deal!
Final lap.Top 4 so far:
1st. Pen Pals.
2nd. Wonderbolts.
3rd. Ex-Sisters.
4th. Apple Siblings.
(Cut to the Bowsers and Tricksters tied for sixth.)
Bowser: It's those Mario Bros!
Gilda: Ready for our plan?
Bowser Jr.: Let's do it!
(He gets a bowser shell and throws at them flipping them out of control. The Tricksters then hurled one of the three green shells after they recovered and bumped them off-track.)
Mario: That didn't go well.
Luigi: Let's catch up with the others. (Grabbed a single item box and received a lightning.)
Bowser: Uh oh, they just got a lightning. They're going to shrink us!
Trixie: Not if Trixie has anything to say about it! It may be against the rules, but it's an emergency. (As soon as the lightning came down, a shield formed around the teams shrinking the other five teams ahead and protecting them.)
Bowser Jr: That works! (Bumps the Pegasisters out of the way.) Out of our way!
Rainbow Dash: Hey! That's not fair.
Gilda: You snooze, you lose dash!
Dry Dry Desert, Final results:
1st. Pen Pals.
2nd. Ex-Sisters.
3rd. Wonderbolts.
4th. Apple Siblings.
5th. Bowsers.
6th. Tricksters.
7th. Pegasisters.
8th. Mario Bros.
Celestia: Well second place is better than our previous placement.
Luna: That's one thing we can agree on.
Twilight: I'm surprised we won.
Sunset: It was just lucky for us.
Discord: Okay everyone, I'll pick the next one you all will do, and here's the next race... (Snaps his fingers and the teams are now in a coliseum.) The colosseum!
Race 3/16: Wario Colosseum.
Applejack: This is one crazy track.
Discord: Don't worry, this is one of the races where you only have to do two laps. Start the countdown Lakitu!
Lakitu: No need to tell me twice. 3, 2, 1, START!
(The Audience's P.O.V.)
Doctor Whooves: That is one large and twisted track.
Wario: And in my colosseum too! We should be in there not with these losers.
(Hearing this, all the other teams began throwing things at them while jeering.)
Koopa: Who asked for your opinions?
(Back to the racetrack)
The teams did the first jump and got over safely. There was another jump up ahead and one item box that was enough for one team to get it. It shows that the Bowsers got it and received a banana to toss back. It hit the Pen Pals sending them spinning out of control.)
Twilight: We should start being more careful.
Sunset: Yeah, it'll be better knowing if someone drops a banana peel in front of us and not enough time to react.
The teams dashed up the ramp and land in the center after five seconds in midair.
Mario: More turns! It's time for lots of drifting!
(The Pen Pals get a single item box and got a golden mushroom.)
Twilight: According to this, we got to use this to get extra speed until it stops.
Sunset: Sounds good to us! (Uses it to pass two other teams and into 6th place.)
All the teams made the next jump and reach another sharp turn. Followed by another jump. Unfortunately, the Apples weren't lucky enough to turn in time and fell off the track which made Lakitu place them back on the track into 8th place.
(Wonderbolts are currently in 1st.)
Soarin: Another split up ahead! Which way?
Spitfire: Straight obviously. We're going to nail that jump. (Takes the middle path and gets extra speed from the boost panel. They grabbed the item box in midair and got a green shell.)
Soarin: Since we're in the lead, should I just toss it back?
Spitfire: It would be a good idea since we're ahead.
Soarin tossed the shell backward and it bounces off the walls. Unknown to them, it reveals that it hit the Tricksters.
Gilda: Who would throw that at us?
Rainbow Dash passing them: Don't look at us. We didn't throw it, but later!
There was one more jump and the teams get to the other side safely and made the final turn.
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Wonderbolts.
2nd. Bowsers.
3rd. Pegasisters.
4th. Pen Pals.
(The teams did the first two jumps and some gather some item boxes. The Mario Bros have an invincibility star, the Pegasisters got triple green shells, and the Ex Sisters got a special item. They activated the attack and all the teams in front of them get blinded by a tiny version of the sun; which moves them up to 3rd.)
(The teams head down the twists and turns and get to the next set of item boxes. Rainbow Dash has one green shell she didn't use yet and the Mario Bros. collide with it flipping them out of control.)
Applejack: We learn from our mistakes and dodged a bullet that time. (Made the sharp turn just in time.) It's going to be a-Okay for us.
(That is until she failed to see a banana peel in front of tgem and spun out of control and off the track.)
(Wonderbolts still in 1st.)
Spitfire: Almost there!
Soarin: There's no way the others will- (Sees the spiny shell coming towards them.) Oh no!
Spitfire: This will definitely hurt. (The spiny shell blasts them and sends them into the air and out of first.)
Bowser Jr: We'll take that! Thank you!
(It was up the last jump, one final turn, and the race ended.)
Wario Colosseum, End results:
1st. Bowsers.
2nd. Wonderbolts.
3rd. Pegasisters.
4th. Pen Pals.
5th. Mario Bros.
6th. Ex-Sisters.
7th. Tricksters.
8th. Apple Siblings.
Bowser: Victory is ours!
Discord: But not entirely!
Bowser Jr: Well then who is in first?
Discord: Not going to tell you. Get ready, because your next race will be... (Snaps his fingers and the teams are now at Yoshi Circuit.) Here.
Race 4/16: Yoshi Circuit.
(Audience P.O.V.)
Yoshi: They're racing in my circuit? I didn't expect this.
Raffina: Not only that but I noticed something familiar about this track. (Looks on the tablet.) Take a look and see what it is. (From the top view it shows it's shaped just like Yoshi.)
Yoshi: Oh my goodness! It's shaped just like me. But that's not a bad liking.
The countdown starts again for the teams as they get ready.
Lakitu: 3, 2, 1, START!
All the teams are off and a few teams grab the item boxes on the first turn.
Rainbow Dash: Hey look, there's a shortcut! Let's take that way.
The Bowsers heard them and follow their lead. However, they tried to make the jump but both teams fell in the water and Lakitu had to fish them out.
(In the tunnel)
(Mario and Luigi have fireballs of their colors and they're in 4th.)
Luigi: I'll toss one backward, you throw yours forward!
Mario: On it!
(They both did so and the one they threw back hit the Bowsers, but the one they threw forward hit the Ex-Sisters.)
(Pen Pals are currently in 5th.)
Sunset: We got a mushroom, so when should we use it?
Twilight: Wait for my signal. I have an idea.
(Once they exit the tunnel, they are now by the head.)
Sunset: Now?
Twilight: Not yet! We're gonna drive off the edge right there!
Sunset: Are you serious?
Twilight: Trust me! Now use it!
(They get the speed from the mushroom and drive off the edge. Surprisingly, there was a secret passage they landed in.)
Sunset: Wow! How'd you know there was a secret passage here?
Twilight: Call it a hunch!
(Seeing this, the Bowsers decided to follow them but didn't have enough speed and fell in the water, again. Lakitu had to fish them out again after a few seconds.)
(The Pen Pals exit the secret passage and are close to the tail part of the track in 3rd place so far.)
(A few seconds pass and everyone is on the 2nd lap.)
Trixie: This seems to be a shortcut! (Spots the first shortcut.) Luckily I have just the thing we need. (Makes a mushroom appear and uses it to jump the gap.)
(Wonderbolts are currently in 1st.)
Spitfire: Is there anyone gaining on us?
Soarin: Just the Mario Bros.
Spitfire: Keep an eye on them just in case they try anything.
(That was until a spiny shell comes at them and blast them into the air knocking them out of first place, and into third.)
Spitfire: Why are those things always hitting us?
(Twilight and Sunset come up to them.)
Twilight: From what I just heard, they're called spiny shells. They're a blue flying shell that's thrown on the track and blasts the team that in first.
Soarin: So what happens if someone has it and is in first place?
Twilight: They'll get blasted themselves.
Spitfire: Good to know, now back to racing!
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Ex-Sisters.
2nd. Mario Bros.
3rd. Pen Pals.
4th. Wonderbolts.
(Audience's P.O.V)
Button: It's really weird how some people mentioned shortcuts in this race.
Sweetie Belle: What do you mean?
Ringo: Well (Pulls out a tablet.) based on this information, there are a few shortcuts to save time and get to the finish faster. There's one here, a secret passage there, and if you use a mushroom right at the final turn through the grass, you have a greater chance of winning.
Koopa: There are so much things we didn't know about.
Pinkie Pie: Here they come on the home stretch!
Toad: There's just one thing to remember, no matter what, everyone is a winner.
Wario: We aren't!
Silver Spoon: Nobody cares what you think!
Spike: I totally want to try this, but we're eliminated already.
Daisy: How did you guys lose?
Spike: It wasn't more of a loss. We just quit the game.
Daisy(shocked in disbelief): Why would you do that?
Rarity: Well long story short, my poor little sister got hurt and she and her partner forfeited their chances of continuing the race. Since I have to look after her, I had to leave too, so I can take care of her.
Peach: Oh my, that's terrible.
Daisy: Is that why she's in a wheelchair?
Spike: Yes.
Peach: We feel so bad that happened, is there anything we can do to help?
Rarity: That's not necessary. I got it covered.
Yoshi Circuit: Final results:
1st. Mario Bros.
2nd. Ex-Sisters.
3rd. Tricksters.
4th. Wonderbolts.
5th. Pen Pals.
6th. Apple Siblings.
7th. Pegasisters.
8th. Bowsers.
(Interview: Bowsers)
Bowser Jr: Unbelievable! How did we go from first to last in just one race?
Bowser: Everyone doesn't want us to win this race; except that blue unicorn and the griffon. We'll show them all in the next one.
Discord: Onto the next race! Which will be... (With a snap, he teleported everyone to Mushroom Bridge.) this place!
Race 5/16: Mushroom Bridge.
Discord: Oh forgot to tell you, watch for trucks, cars, and possibly bob-omb cars that move along the track.
Twilight: Wait, did he say we have to race on the track and avoid all those vehicles?
Sunset: He did say they were moving.
Twilight: This could be a problem.
The countdown begins again. 3, 2, 1, START!
(Everyone is off except the Pen Pals who are going at a leisurely pace.)
Applejack: Really Twilight?
Twilight: I don't want to hit any vehicles and damage them!
Applejack: Actually, it won't damage at all. You just flip out of control for a few seconds.
Twilight: Well I don't want to take any chances.
Sunset: Then I'll drive! (Switched driving positions.)
Apple Bloom: Just do what we do and stay in the middle.
(Both of them try to catch up with the other teams. The first few teams get out of the tunnel and approach the bridge.)
Spitfire: I've got a plan. Let's go up the edge of the bridge. We'll get more speed.
Soarin: On it! (Goes up the left side and got extra speed from the boost panels before coming back down.) We're totally doing that again!
(However, the moment they crossed into the second lap, a fake item box was thrown in their path causing them to get hit by it and drop down to 4th.)
Spitfire: Who threw that at us?
Soarin: Might have been Trixie. She and her partner were behind us.
Spitfire: Let's try to get them back.
(The Apple Siblings are currently in 6th. They grabbed a double item box and received an invincibility star along with triple shrooms.)
Applejack: Apple Bloom, on my mark, use the star when I say now.
Apple Bloom: Okay!
Applejack: 1, 2, Now!
(The star was activated and they were now invincible. They even took the shortcut that was outside the first tunnel exit. Shortly after, an unknown team activated a lightning strike and shrunk all the teams ahead of them; except the Apple Siblings. The Bowsers and Tricksters met up again and discuss strategy.)
Trixie: What do you suppose we do now?
Bowser Jr: How about this? You can't stand the Rainbow pegasus and you have a grudge against that purple alicorn right?
Gilda: Go on..
Bowser: What do you say we deal with them one at a time and make it so they lose? That way, both of you can have your revenge against those two.
Gilda: Right, cause if I know Dash, she hates to lose.
Trixie: Count us in.
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Apple Siblings.
2nd. Wonderbolts.
3rd. Ex-Sisters.
4th. Pegasisters.
(Celestia and Luna grabbed a double item box and got a red shell and a fake item box.)
Celestia: I take the shell, you take item box.
Luna: Oh no, you take the item box. The red shell is a better item to use than this.
Celestia: Too late, already tossed it.
Luna: Fine, but I decide the next choice of items! (Placed the fake item box directly equal to one of the item boxes.)
Bowser Jr: Ready?
Trixie: Let's do this! (Has two red shells left and tossed one at the Pegasisters and pushed them out of the way. The Bowsers decided to ram them against the truck and it made them flip out of control. Both teams laughed and drove off.)
Rainbow Dash: Why those little..
Scootaloo: Why did those guys have the right to do that to us? This has to be against the rules.
(Rainbow Dash holds up a golden mushroom)
Rainbow Dash: Then let's hope this will be enough to catch them. (Uses it as much as she does before it expires after a few seconds. The Pegasisters managed to catch up with the Bowsers and passed the finish line before they did.)
Mushroom Bridge, Final results:
1st. Apple Siblings.
2nd. Ex-Sisters.
3rd. Tricksters.
4th. Pen Pals.
5th. Wonderbolts.
6th. Pegasisters.
7th. Bowsers.
8th. Mario Bros.
Celestia: That's the second time in a row we came in 2nd.
Luna: Can't we at least get first just one time?
Discord: Next race is... (In a split second, the racers are now seen on a rocky mountain racetrack.) This place!
Race 6/16: DK Mountain.
Lakitu: You know the drill 3, 2, 1, and go!
(This time the audience is not on the bleachers, they're in three large separate hot-air balloons.)
Koopa: Wow! What a view from up here!
Paratroopa: I know right? It looks like we're actually flying.
Baby Daisy sees how high it is and gets nervous.
Baby Daisy: Oh dear, too high! I didn't think we be so high up.
Toadette(sighs): Let me guess, you're afraid of heights aren't you?
Toad: She must be.
(Back to the race.)
(A few seconds in and everyone gets blasted out of the DK cannon and flies over to the other platform. They start heading down the rocky mountain and off a bunch of jumps.)
Applejack: We gotta watch out for falling rocks! (Grabs an item box and got triple bananas.)
Twilight: Actually, the big ones are what you need to look out for. The small ones don't do anything to you.
Applejack: Oh, that's good to know. (One of the bananas hits the Pen Pals sending them spinning out of control.) Oops! Sorry about that Twilight!
Twilight: We're okay. It's only one banana that didn't do anything.
(The Wonderbolts try catching the Mario Bros. who are currently in the lead right now.)
Soarin: We need something to catch those guys.
Spitfire: Way ahead of you. (Gets a double item box and got a fake item box and a mushroom.) This might work.( She tossed the item box back and used the mushroom, but they came to the rickety bridge and couldn't keep their balance which caused them to fall off the track.)
(Interview: Wonderbolts)
Spitfire: Note to self: Never use that if there is a high chance of falling off.
Soarin: That, and don't use it on unsafe bridges.
(They all get blasted out of the cannon once again, and get to the other side safely.)
Gilda: There she is! (Sees Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo up ahead.)
Trixie: Up for some more fun?
Rainbow Dash: This is not bad actually. We're doing pretty- (Gets startled by one team ramming into their kart.) Hey! Cut that out!
Trixie: Oh you mean this? (Rams them again on the side.)
Scootaloo: They're going to knock us off!
Rainbow Dash: We'll see about that! This time, I'm going to use something they won't think about using.
Scootaloo: What's that?
Rainbow Dash: Brakes! (She stops abruptly which made Trixie miss the kart and fall off the track. Lakitu comes by to fish them back in the race.)
Gilda: That was dirty!
Trixie: After them!
(Up ahead to the bridge.)
Rainbow Dash: Alright, I guess we lost them.
Scootaloo: Now we can focus on trying to win the race.
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Mario Bros.
2nd. Wonderbolts.
3rd. Pen Pals.
4th. Apple Siblings.
(Skip ahead to the landing area as the teams land and go down the mountain one more time.)
Mario: I don't see anyone. We must be so far ahead!
Luigi: And we haven't seen a spiny shell at all. This just got better for us.
(Got an item box and got a banana peel and a green shell.)
(Audience's P.O.V)
Koopa: No idea what to say, but this place 'rocks'! Get it? Cause of the falling rocks.
(A few of the teams groan except for the Party Ponies.)
Pinkie: *laughs* Now I get it.
(Back to the race, Bowser and Bowser Jr. are in dead last.)
Bowser Jr: How are we losing, again? The other teams might be cheating!
Bowser: Yeah and not leaving any items for us.
(One last turn and across the rocking bridge and the race ended.)
DK Mountain final results:
1st. Mario Bros.
2nd. Wonderbolts.
3rd. Pegasisters.
4th. Pen Pals.
5th. Apple Siblings.
6th. Tricksters.
7th. Ex-Sisters.
8th. Bowsers.
Bowser: Last again! I hate this game!
Bowser Jr: Me too.
Discord: Ok, onto the next race and that will be... (Another snap and the teams are teleported to a beach.) this one! Which will also be where the final results are going to be announced.
Race 7/16: Peach Beach.
(Interview: Schoolgirls)
Ringo: We had a feeling a beach themed race would be involved.
Raffina: Last time we had a beach challenge, we were eliminated from the race for wasting time on the sand castle.
Ringo: But that's all in the past, and it's over now.
3, 2, 1, START!
Everyone is off yet again. A quarter of the way there, a split was up ahead and half of them go left, while the other half went right.
Rainbow Dash: What the hay are those? (Sees a cataquack coming towards her.)
(It impacts with them and sends them both up in the air while flipping.)
Rainbow Dash(dazed): Never mind, I'll stay away from them.
Bowser: Ha! Nice crash losers!
(They weren't paying attention to the road in front of them and a cataquack knocks them in the air too.)
(The other teams who went left did a jump off the dash panel and the jump, then grabbed item boxes before the other teams that went right.
(Apple Siblings got apples to use against opponents.)
Apple Bloom: We can use these apples as weapons?
Applejack: Nope. We can't waste perfectly good apples like that.
Apple Bloom: But it's our special attack, and they aren't real.
Applejack: Oh, then go on ahead and use em'.
(Apple Bloom tosses one each to a different kart, but she missed one shot as the other two hit the Pen Pals and Tricksters.)
Apple Bloom: Sorry Twilight and Sunset, I was aiming for Trixie and Gilda!
Sunset: It's okay, you still got them good though.
Lap 2.
With all the teams seeing the cataquacks on the right everyone immediately goes to the left to avoid all that trouble again.
(Ex-Sisters are now in 6th and they got a mushroom.)
Luna: We need to use it now!
Celestia: Oh no, we're in midair. We'll use it after we land.
Luna: I'm using it now!
Celestia: No you won't! I'll take that!
Luna: Give it back!
Celestia: I'm in the driver's seat and I decide when to use it.
Luna: Well switch and let me drive!
Celestia: Duck!
Luna: Duck? Where?
Celestia: No! That duck! (Points to the cataquack coming towards them.) Get us away from it!
(She didn't get fast enough and it hits them in the air and lost their mushroom.)
Luna: That was your fault!
Celestia: Mine? You didn't even know which duck I meant.
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Pen Pals.
2nd. Apple Siblings.
3rd. Mario Bros.
4th. Wonderbolts.
(Everyone went to the left again. Go to the team in last place.)
Luna: You had a turn, now it's my turn to drive.
Celestia: You got us hit by a duck and lost our mushroom! I taking the wheel.
(All the arguing caused them to swerve to the right and made them get hit by another cataquack.)
(Wonderbolts used a mushroom and took the lead.)
Spitfire: Yes! We're almost there!
Soarin: Only a few more seconds and we're golden.
(Just then, another spiny shell comes at them and blasts them into the air and knocked back to fourth.)
Twilight: We're going to win this one!
(That is until a red shell hits their kart and knocks them out of first too.)
Mario: Sorry ladies, don't take it personally!
Luigi: We hope you understand!
Peach Beach Final results:
1st. Mario Bros.
2nd. Apple Siblings.
3rd. Wonderbolts.

8th. Ex-Sisters.
Discord: Alright, that's enough time at the beach. Onto the next race! (With another snap, they teleport to a very small track.) Which is this one!
Race 8/16: Baby Park.
Twilight: This is a pretty small racetrack.
Discord: Isn't it? Which is also why this is the one that has 7 laps.
Everyone: SEVEN!?
Discord: It's a small track. What did you expect? Start the countdown Lakitu!
(Lakitu counts down and the stoplight goes red, then yellow and finally green.)
(The teams are up and running. Cut to the teams spectating the race.)
Baby Peach: I wish we could race on that track. It's the perfect size for us.
Button: I don't know, if there's items all over the track and you hit one, then it can easily mess up your game.
Ringo: It's a pretty small racetrack and due to the amount of teams on there, one item can take down.
Sweetie Belle: That's similar to what Button just said and that shouldn't be a park for babies. It too dangerous in there for kids to play in that park.
(Cut to the racetrack.)
Bowser: It's a small track and nowhere safe to sabotage anyone. Let's not do anything... for now!
Bowser Jr: Fine, but it's back to what we do best after this stage.
Rainbow Dash caught up to Applejack.
Rainbow Dash: So Applejack, doing good so far?
Applejack: Yeah, we got first on the fifth race. However, I noticed we're two of teams that have a shot of making it to the finale. Agree to stay out of each other's way until the semifinals?
Rainbow Dash: I guess, but then it's every team for themselves. What lap are you on now?
Applejack: Can't tell. Ah'm losing count since this is a small stage.
Rainbow Dash: Oh, well good luck!
Lap 4.
Twilight: Get the double item box!
Sunset: I'm on it. (Aims for it but they get cut off by the Mario Bros.)
Mario: Oh sorry about that.
Twilight: It's okay, we'll get the next one.
(The Mario Bros got triple red shells and a bob-omb. They placed the bomb behind them and the Pen Pals were in its blast range and got knocked into the air.
Luigi: Sorry again.
Sunset: We're still okay.
(The Bowsers and Tricksters are tied for first.)
Bowser: I guess we didn't need to cheat after all.
Trixie: Yeah, no way are we going to lose this race.
(That was until a spiny shell comes at them and blasts both of them in the air and knocked back to second.)
Gilda: Next time, keep your mouth shut!
Trixie: My bad!
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Wonderbolts.
2nd. Tricksters.
3rd. Bowsers.
4th. Pen Pals.
Most of the teams are on their last lap, but three are almost done on their sixth lap.
(Celestia and Luna run into an item box giving them a mushroom. They used it and boost ahead of the Pen Pals on the final turn and taking fourth place.
(Mario and Luigi had a lightning bolt and struck all the teams which allowed them to pass two teams that dropped their items.)
Mario: Again, sorry about that!
Baby Park Final results:
1st. Wonderbolts.
2nd. Tricksters.
3rd. Bowsers.

5th. Pen Pals.
6th. Mario Bros.
7th. Pegasisters.
8th. Apple Siblings.
Discord: Well, we're halfway done. Only 8 more races to go and here's the next race. (He snaps and everyone is now at a city with a lot of cars roaming the streets and also at night time.)
Race 9/16: Mushroom City.
Twilight: Another stage with a lot of traffic? And worse, it's even at night!
Discord: Enough with the complaints! Do your thing Lakitu!
Lakitu holds the stoplight and counts down.
3, 2, 1, START!
(Go to the top of one of the buildings as the audience watching from the top using binoculars.)
Toad: Another magnificent view!
Koopa: Wow! I can our house from here!
Paratroopa: Really?
Koopa: No, but it would be nice to.
(Cut back to the racetrack.)
Twilight: Three different paths. Which way do we go?
Sunset: Let's try the middle passage. There's no cars there.
(Even though it was a narrow, they went down that path and got an item box in that passage giving them triple green shells.)
Twilight: I guess the middle section is much faster.
(She stopped talking immediately, but it was too late, everyone else heard this and then they get the same idea.)
(Interview: Pen Pals)
Twilight: Me and my big mouth.
Sunset: That's okay, I'm sure it was an accident.
It was difficult seeing as a few cars and Bob-omb cars come in the opposite direction to the racers. When they see another split, everyone goes left, but the Wonderbolts and Pegasisters take the risk and go right. The passage was so narrow it was enough for one kart at a time.
Gilda: We're falling behind! You want to try something?
Trixie: What's your plan?
Gilda: This! (Goes up to the split route and made a one way sign going right.) They can't catch us if they go in circles.
Trixie: In that case... (Goes to the end of the second split route and made two one way signs.) This will catch them off their guard. (Keeps on going.)
It was another quick minute around the city and everyone goes left and then...
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Mario Bros.
2nd. Bowsers.
3rd. Pegasisters.
4th. Wonderbolts.
All the teams chose the middle path again and half of them go left while the other half go right.
Soarin: Almost there and- wait! (Sees the sign that read no left turn.) We can't go left!
Spitfire: Then just turn right and keep going.
(They turn right and the Apple Siblings and Pen Pals follow them leaving the Bowsers smirking and going left.)
(Interview: Bowsers)
Bowser: You know if I didn't know better, someone might have done that on purpose!
Bowser: Yeah, nice move! I'm impressed.
Twilight: We can't turn right either?
Spitfire: It's either left or straight. Let's go!
Sunset: Wait, have we been right here?
Applejack: Yeah, it's almost as if... (Comes to realization.) Wait just a minute! We went in a circle.
Soarin: Well that explains why we're falling behind.
They reach the sign that read no left turn and Twilight took it down.
Applejack: Someone must have done that to make us lose the race.
Sunset: We're so far behind. We're going to need a miracle to catch up.
(The three of them get single item boxes and the Apple Siblings got an invincibility star, The Wonderbolts got a golden mushroom, and the Pen Pals got a lightning strike. They activated all their items and everyone shrunk except for the Apples since they were invincible. The Wonderbolts however, lost their golden mushroom and fell to last.)
Spitfire: Oh no, we're going to lose!
Soarin: With one last turn. It's over.
And it was..
Mushroom City Final results:
1st. Tricksters.
2nd. Mario Bros.
3rd. Pegasisters.
4th. Ex-Sisters.
5th. Bowsers.
6th. Apple Siblings.
7th. Pen Pals.
8th. Wonderbolts.
Soarin: I can't believe we lost our first race.
Spitfire: We lost one, but we're not going to lose the next one.
Discord: Now since that race is over, here's your next race. (Teleports everyone to a large stadium with the audience watching on a giant jumbotron after a snap of fingers.)
Race 10/16 Waluigi Stadium.
(Audience's P.O.V.)
Waluigi: Boo! I can't have these losers racing in MY stadium.
Peach: They raced on tracks that were named after us. You two have no manners.
Baby Daisy: You don't see us getting jealous watching people race on stages with our names in it. Do you?
Baby Peach: Proves her point.
All the teams start again after the countdown and grabbed the item boxes right in front of them.
Spitfire: Time to make up for the previous race. (Received a red shell from the item box and tossed it forward. It hits the Apple Siblings and puts them in fourth.)
Bowser: What's the plan now?
Trixie: Why this of course! (Poofs them a Bowser shell and gave themselves a bob-omb.) Take out the other teams ahead of you and we'll take out the ones behind.
Gilda: How about getting payback on those guys? (Spots the Mario Bros.)
Bowser: You read my mind. Wait for my cue, then when I say now, do your thing.
Trixie: Will do!
(Once they were close enough, they threw the shell at Mario and Luigi and knocked them out of the way. Bowser gives Trixie the signal and she placed the bomb beside the Mario Bros. as they were recovering from the attack. The bomb exploded and they get knocked into the air and knocked back to 7th. Both of the teams high five each other and continue.)
Twilight spots a jump above them.
Twilight: That must be another jump zone!
Sunset: Chances are if we miss it, we'll have to go around again.
We now see Celestia and Luna in 8th place and they now have a lightning bolt and a golden mushroom. They use it to shrink all the other teams ahead of them and got a lot of boost power from the golden mushroom they used and got up to third.)
(We are now on lap 2 as we see the Pegasisters currently in second place.)
Rainbow Dash: I saw some teams get special items throughout the race. I wonder what ours will be.
Scootaloo: Only one way to find out! (Grabbed one and it spins until it stops on a set of wings.)
Rainbow Dash: Wings huh? Let's see how they work. (Activated the wings and kart lifts off a few feet above the ground.) That's all?
Twilight seeing this caught up to them.
Twilight: Well you do know it can't let you go that high. That would be cheating.
Sunset: It's only a few feet off the ground, you can use them avoiding items in your path.
Rainbow Dash: Well, that is a fair point.
They all do the final turn and jump just in time for the...
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Ex-Sisters.
2nd. Wonderbolts.
3rd. Bowsers.
4th. Tricksters.
With the last lap underway, the teams clear the first two jumps and only three of the teams get items from those big jumps.
(Currently in 5th place: Apple Siblings)
Applejack: Let's see what we get. (The item roulette spins until it stops on triple mushrooms.) This might work. (Uses one on the shortcut and saves the other two )
(Now in 5th place: Pen Pals)
Sunset: We need something to useful! (Gets an item box and got triple green shells.)
Twilight: It'll have to do. Plus it gives us protection.
Sunset: Let me toss one and save the others for later. (She threw one up ahead which rebounded off the walls six times. Unknown to them, they didn't even know they hit the Tricksters who were up ahead, and they are not happy.)
Gilda: WHO THREW THAT!?
(A blue shell flies over them and in first are the Ex-Sisters which blasts them on the final jump. The Wonderbolts were close to them and spun out which made them miss the jump. This allowed the Bowsers to pass both of them.)
Soarin: We can't get too close. We'll get blasted too.
Spitfire: Next time, we'll know for sure. (Gets hit by a green shell from the Pen Pals.) And avoid surprises like that. (Continues to the finish line.)
Waluigi Stadium Final results:

8th. Mario Bros.
Discord: Six races remain and here's where you're racing next. (He snaps his fingers again and everyone is now seen on a large boat in the middle of the ocean.)
Race 11/16: Daisy Cruiser.
Rarity: We're on a cruise ship? I have always wanted to go on a cruise.
Daisy: I know where we are. It's actually my cruiser.
Birdo: Wait, this is your boat?
Daisy: You like it?
Rarity: Like it? I think it's marvelous!
Lyra: I wish we could race here.
Raffina: Speaking of races, let's get back to seeing the other teams.
(The teams have already started and drove to the right since the left side was blocked off.)
Twilight: There's a pool here? This ship has lots of fun stuff. (Takes the narrow path but fell into the pool and Lakitu had to fish them out.)
(All the teams go down the ramp and head into the dining area. There were moving tables and item boxes and only three teams were able to grab them; The Apple Siblings, Pen Pals, and Pegasisters. They go out to the next room and the Mario went down the secret tunnel and there was a double item box they found. They used it to get triple mushrooms and an invincibility star. They get boosted out of the passage and used the shrooms to get into 7th passing the Tricksters. With the right timing they used the invincibility star and ran over two teams: Pen Pals and Wonderbolts.)
(Currently in 3rd: Ex-Sisters. They have triple bananas)
Celestia: Save these bananas! We'll need them for protection or in case another team tries to ram into us.
Luna: Fine, can I only use one?
Celestia: Wait for the right moment.
(Pegasisters are currently in 2nd.)
Rainbow Dash: Who's ahead of us?
Scootaloo: I don't know, but we gotta catch up with them.
(Afterwards, a spiny shell was tossed on the track and seeks out the leading team which happens to be the Bowsers. It blasts them and they drop down to 3rd place. Shortly after, a red shell is tossed at them knocking them to 4th.)
Bowser: How is this even possible? From first to fourth in one lap!
Bowser Jr: Does it even matter? We need to catch up with those losers.
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Pegasisters.
2nd. Apple Siblings.
3rd. Ex-Sisters.
4th. Bowsers.
(Interview: Wonderbolts)
Spitfire: How are we in the bottom three again? We were good so far, but I don't know what's going on with us.
Soarin: Maybe we're just not getting good items.
(The Wonderbolts were in 6th right now.)
Spitfire: Maybe there's a shortcut we don't know about.
Soarin: Wait, there was a passage we saw that was after the dining hall. Why don't we try that way?
Spitfire: Ok, I guess. (Goes down the passage and found there was a double item box down there and grabbed it giving them an invincibility star and triple shrooms.)
Lightning struck on the racetrack and all the teams; except the Wonderbolts shrunk. It shows that it was the Pen Pals who used it.
Twilight: Sorry, that was us everyone. Don't take it personally!
Applejack: We almost have ya Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow Dash: Do you now? (Tossed a banana peel behind them just when they were close enough which made the Siblings spin out and the Ex-Sisters passed them right at the finish line.)
Daisy Cruiser Final results:
1st. Pegasisters.

7th. Pen Pals.
8th. Mario Bros.
Luigi: Aw, we lost again.
Mario: That's okay, we still have a chance to turn this game around. Wonder which stage is next?
(To answer his question, they were all teleported to a large jungle but there was a large dinosaur standing by the bridge.)
Race 12/16: Dino Dino Jungle.
Koopa: Wait a second, I thought that dinosaurs were extinct.
Yoshi: Ahem, I actually am related to a dinosaur if you haven't noticed.
Koopa: Oh right, *laughs nervously* no offense.
Yoshi: None taken.
Raffina: Well apparently, they aren't in your universe.
(With the audience spectating from a nearby tree house, the next starts up and everyone is off yet again.)
All the teams now saw the giant dinosaur standing by the bridge stomping one of its feet.
Sunset: That is one big dino!
Mario: Careful you don't get under its foot. It'll squash you like a pancake if you aren't careful.
Trixie: Oh, do you mean like this? (Tries ramming them into the shadow but the Mario Bros. used the brake and that made Trixie and Gilda squashed underneath the giant foot.)
Rainbow Dash: That was hilarious! How could you fall for that again?
Gilda: You'll get what's coming to you Dash! (They were back to their actual size after 10 seconds.)
Bowser: Patience! Remember our pact?
Trixie: Yes of course! What now?
Bowser Jr: Well out of all the races we raced on, every team lost at least one or two races. Well, almost all of them.
Gilda: Get to the point.
(All the teams now head inside a dark cave where there were geysers spouting up every 10 seconds.)
Bowser: There's that Rainbow pegasus with her partner that didn't lose yet. Also, that purple alicorn, both of you have grudges against them don't you?
Trixie: Don't remind Trixie!
Bowser Jr: If we can both get one of those teams to lose repeatedly, you'll have your revenge and they get eliminated! It's a win win.
Gilda: Yeah, cause if I know Dash, she absolutely hates losing. It's the perfect plan.
Trixie: Let's do it!
(They were now on the second lap. Cut to the Wonderbolts ahead of the pack.)
Spitfire: This time, we'll be ready for them. Got the items?
Soarin: Yep! A green shell and a banana peel. All we need to protect ourselves from a red shell that comes toward us.
(After that was said, there happened to be a red shell coming towards them.)
Soarin: You know what to do.
Spitfire: On it. (Tossed the banana peel behind them and the red shell hit that instead of them.)
(They came across the split route and made a right turn. The Bowsers and Tricksters take the right too but stop at the beginning.)
Bowser Jr: They can't take the shortcut if the road is out. (Gets out of the vehicle and broke some planks behind them leaving a giant gap. They quietly drive off and high five each other after that dastardly deed.)
(However, the audience saw the deed they just pulled.)
Birdo: Okay, that was just wrong!
Wario: I know, and I like it!
Spike: What? But that's cheating. There has to be something in the rules about this.
Ringo: Not to worry little guy. Let's hope there will be.
(On the last turn close to the finish line, the Pen Pals are currently in 7th place right now.)
Twilight: We're doing a fine job so far.
Sunset: But we're in 7th place right now.
Twilight: But we aren't last, which won't happen if we don't hit a-
(She got cut off as both of them get blasted into the air by one of the geysers bursting out water.)
Twilight: Geyser.
Sunset: My bad. (The Apple Siblings passed them and now they're in last.)
Twilight: We need an item and fast too.
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Wonderbolts.
2nd. Bowsers.
3rd. Tricksters.
4th. Mario Bros.
(Between the dinosaur's feet, the teams grabbed the single and double item boxes.)
Rainbow Dash: This should catch up with the front of the pack. (Activated the invincibility star and only rammed into two teams.)
(With the Pen Pals in last right now, they got a golden mushroom and used it through the first turn and the short tunnel. They decided taking the quickest path but saw there was a gap in front of them and didn't react in time and fell in the water. They were both confused about that as Lakitu had to fish them out of the water.)
Sunset: What happened there? It wasn't like that when we tried it earlier.
Twilight: Someone must have broken the boards to make inaccessible. But who?
(Up ahead in the cave, the Bowsers and Tricksters placed dozens of bananas on the shortcut to keep the other teams from accessing it.)
Bowser Jr: This will stop them from catching us.
Gilda: Yeah, some teams will not have an appeal to this!
Bowser: Hilarious.
(Both of them take the shortcut and jumped in the lead. The moment they exited the cave, a red shell comes up and hits the Trickster's kart. This allowed the Wonderbolts to pass them and bump them off the bridge.)
Trixie: That was rude! Watch where guys are going! You could've- (Got interrupted by a red shell hitting them and knocked them down two more positions.)
Rainbow Dash: Eat my dust Gilda! (Passes them and drives off.)
Gilda: You're gonna pay for that Dash!

Twilight: That didn't go so well.
Sunset: It's okay, we're still in it, and it's not over yet.
(The teams are now teleported to a snowy race where there were freezies and shy guys skated on ice rinks.)
Race 13/16: Sherbet Land.
Everyone including the audience were now wearing winter clothes.
Rarity: I almost forgot how cold this place is.
Paratroopa: Don't forget the Yukon.
(All the teams begin again after the countdown. Cut to the audience.)
Toadette: You know, it funny how we were kicked off before we had to experience this.
Sweetie Belle: Trust me you might be glad you didn't. Although you should have seen Diamond Tiara getting tongue tied with a pole.
Diamond Tiara: Hey! I heard that!
(Cut back to the racetrack as the 8 teams head into the ice caves. Every one of the teams grabbed item boxes; except for Trixie and Gilda.)
Gilda: These people took all the item boxes!
Trixie: You keep forgetting I csn just give us another one like so. (Got interrupted by a green shell tossed back and hitting them.) Hey! That was unfair!
Gilda: Whoever did that is going to- (Gets rammed by another team that had an invincibility star putting them in last place.) WHOEVER DID THAT IS GONNA PAY! As soon as we catch up.
(The Wonderbolts have triple bananas and are now in third, but the Apple Siblings are behind them with triple green shells as they now head into the second lap.)
Applejack: I think there's a pattern going on. The moment I find the opening, throw one of the green shells to them.
Apple Bloom: How will I know when to throw it?
Applejack: On my mark... throw it right... about... Now!
(She threw one up ahead and it goes through the gap of bananas and hits the kart Spitfire and Soarin were in which allowed the Siblings to drive around them and take third. The Bowsers were about to pass them but didn't react in time and got hit by one of their banana peels spinning them out of control.)
(Skip ahead to two teams that got to the second ice rink.)
Mario: The best way to handle ice is with fire. (Got a fireball from the item box.)
Luigi: Just be careful of those freezies!
Rainbow Dash: Why? What happens if you touch it? (Doesn't notice she's about to hit one.)
Mario: Oh you're about to find out.
Rainbow Dash: What? (She drives into one and it freezes her and her kart which made the Mario Bros. take first from them.) Okay, so don't touch those. Got it.
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Mario Bros.
2nd. Pegasisters.
3rd. Apple Siblings.
4th. Ex-Sisters.
Twilight: I can't believe we missed coming here.
Sunset: Then again, it is pretty chilly.
(In the back of the pack are the Bowsers and Tricksters.)
Trixie: How are we losing?
Bowser: Those teams kept on hitting us because we're good.
Gilda: Well they won't for long. (Holds up the lightning bolt.)
Bowser Jr: Wait a second. (Has the invincibility star and activates it making them invincible. Gilda used the lightning bolt and all six teams in front of them shrunk and lost their items.)
(Majority of the teams were outside the cave and by the last ice rink.)
Rainbow Dash: We only have one chance to catch the frontrunners. We need something useful. (Grabbed an item box and got a red shell.) This oughta be the trick.
(She Tossed it up to the team ahead of them and it hits the Mario Bros. flipping them out.
Mario: I wasn't expecting that!
(Just then, another red shell comes at them before they crossed the finish line and they got knocked down to third.
Luigi: Again? That was unexpected.
Sherbet Land Final results:

8th. Tricksters.
Gilda: What? We lost?
Trixie: We kept getting hit. That was NOT fair.
Discord: Alright, onto the next race which is gonna be... (Snaps his fingers and the teams are now at a dark and creepy castle. The Bowsers saw what stage it is and smirked.)
Race 14/16: Bowser's Castle.
Bowser: Oh there is NO way we're losing here!
(Interview: Bowsers)
Bowser: Ah, there's no place like my castle.
Bowser Jr: It has our name in it, so we're guaranteed to win this race.
(After Lakitu does the countdown, the teams begin again and head inside the castle. Cut to the teams on the bleachers.)
Peach: Why did it have to be Bowser's Castle? There's all sort of tricks and traps here.
Daisy: No doubt he might be up to something.
Toad: I just want this race to be over as soon as possible. This place gives me the heebie jeebies.
(Inside the castle, the teams try their best to avoid getting squashed by Thwomps.)
Bowser: Feast your eyes on our castle everyone. Isn't it awesome?
Soarin: Awesome is not how we describe it.
Bowser Jr: You're all just jealous it's here, there's no way WE are losing here.
(After the jump, they all went up the ramp and try avoiding the rotating fireballs and grabbed item boxes that were up ahead.)
Bowser Jr: Hey, there's a statue of you up ahead.
Bowser: Wait, there's more to it than meets the eye. (What happened next was a giant fireball shoots out and it explodes right by the last ramp jump zone.)
Bowser Jr: Awesome! (They placed a banana peel right at the shortcut and made their way to 3rd. They now have a Bowser shell and tossed it to the two teams ahead of them.)
Celestia: Watch out! There's a giant shell coming towards us!
Luna: Well what do you suggest? I already know what to do! (Goes left to avoid getting hit but it backfired as they got caught in the fireball making them spiral out of control and fell off the stage.)
Celestia: Move over! I'm driving! You'll just make us crash again.
Luna: Oh no you don't, I sticking with the wheel.
(We now go into lap 2 as the teams are getting item boxes.)
Rainbow Dash: Instead of going around the Thwomps, let's go over them. (Activated the wing power but only got up to the Thwomp's height.) Or not.
Mario: We're making good time.
Luigi: Don't get comfortable! Who knows what might happen next?
(His question was answered as someone hurled a bomb and landed right in front of them and they were caught in the explosion which dropped them to 6th.)
Luigi: Never mind.
(Currently in 4th: Pen Pals.)
Twilight: We need to avoid getting hit, and I know just what to do. (Has the Special item.)
Sunset: Oh, that keeps us from taking any hits. (They activate the shield and they are now up to the Bowser statue shooting fireballs.)
Twilight: Since this area is almost like a minefield, this was a good place to use this. (They clear the jump and land safely on the opposite side. That was the moment their shield expired.)
Final lap! Top 4 so far:1st. Bowsers.2nd. Wonderbolts.3rd. Pegasisters.4th. Pen Pals.
(All the teams enter the castle one last time. Cut back to the Tricksters as they are now in 7th.)
Gilda: Ugh! How are we near the bottom again? I thought we were better than this.
Apple Bloom: Beats me. Maybe you're both just too slow.
Gilda becomes intimidated by this: Hey, shut up we're not slow!
Applejack: Well you must be if ya can't keep up.
Gilda: I said stop calling us slow!
Mario: Take it easy there.
Luigi: Besides, if we are all in the bottom three, then we're all not fast enough.
Gilda: I'M NOT A SLOWPOKE!
Mario: Whatever you say.
Applejack: We best be off now. (Uses a mushroom from the triple shrooms.) See ya!
(Fast forward ahead to the Bowser statue shooting fireballs.)
Bowser: Just one more shortcut, one more jump, and we win!
Bowser Jr: And with the protection we have, there's nothing to stop us now!
(The moment they reached the jump and the gap, a spiny shell comes at them and blast them into the air and they were still in midair as they fell off the race and got fished back on the track.)
Bowser Jr: Curse that blue shell!
Bowser: At least we are still ahead. Nothing will stop us from winning at our castle. Nothing-
(He got cut off as the Wonderbolts were drafting behind them and used that extra speed to snag first place from the Bowsers.)
Bowsers: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Bowser's Castle Final results:
1st. Wonderbolts.
2nd. Bowsers.
3rd. Pegasisters.
4th. Pen Pals.

8th. Mario Bros.
(Interview: Bowsers)
Bowser Jr: Rrrghhh! Those cheaters cut us off!
Bowser: Whoever threw that blue shell, is SO gonna be our next target! We were so close!
Bowser Jr: Aside from that, those Wonderbolts are gonna pay dearly for taking our win.
(After the race ended, the second to last race was outside of the castle at daytime with a Chain Chomp on one of the turns, Piranha Plants outside the tunnel and by the finish line. There was also the letters M-A-R-I-O which everyone saw just a few miles away.)
Race 15/16: Mario Circuit.
(The countdown starts again for the racers and they start after the green light was shown.)
Soarin: Nice move you pulled on the previous race!
Spitfire: Thanks, I guess our luck turned- (Their kart gets jerked forward. Look behind and they saw the Bowsers roughly ramming into their kart.)
(Interview: Bowsers)
Bowser Jr: Losing again is bad enough! Losing in our castle is UNACCEPTABLE! We're gonna make sure both of them are eliminated immediately!
Bowser: They're going to wish they never messed with us!
(They keep on ramming into the Wonderbolts' kart knocking them in the grass.)
Soarin: Hey quit it already!
Bowser: Never!
(The Mario Bros see this when they were passing by.)
Luigi: Yikes! I thought they both had it out for us.
Mario: We should give them a hand. (Before the teams went in the tunnel, the Mario Bros. got a double item box giving them triple green shells and a bob-omb.)
Luigi: Get in closer and hit them. (They get closer to get a better shot, but it actually hits both the Bowsers and Wonderbolts.)
(Up ahead, we see the Pegasisters currently in the lead while Trixie and Gilda are hot on their heels.)
Gilda: This time, we got you now!
Scootaloo: They're gaining on us. What are we going to do?
Rainbow Dash: Relax! We got these to slow them down. (Shows that they have a banana peel and a fake item box.) If this won't stop em' nothing will.
Gilda: Closer! Closer!
Rainbow Dash: That's it. Right this way. Come and get it!
(When they were close enough, she released the fake item box and it hits the Tricksters who didn't have time to react.)
Trixie: You asked for it now! (Throws the red shell she got, but saw it didn't hit the kart.) What? But how?
Scootaloo: Had a banana peel, protects us from shells.
Gilda: That's it! I'm driving! Move over! (She chases after them as we now head into lap 2.)
(We see the Pen Pals and Apple Siblings tied for fourth place.)
Sunset: Hey, glad we caught up with you two.
Applejack: Yeah, since it's a race, don't expect us to go easy on ya.
Twilight: Wouldn't have it any other way. Though you should probably look out for that Chain Chomp.
Applejack: What Chain Chomp? (They were in the Chain Chomp's range and got hit by it flipping them out of control and into fifth place.) Oh right, that Chain Chomp.
(Go to the Ex-Sisters driving as they are in 6th.)
Luna: Is it my turn to drive now?
Celestia: No it is not!
Luna: Well you were hogging the driver's seat for almost half the time.
Celestia: Am not!
Luna: Are too!
Celestia: Am not!
Luna: Are too!
Celestia: Am not!
Luna: Are too!
(They failed to see a piranha plant reach out to bite. Their kart gets hit as they are now in 7th.)
(Interview: Ex-Sisters)
Luna: This is why you should always keep your eyes on the road!
Celestia: Well I would have if someone didn't argue with me and made me lose my focus!
Luna: Like how you made me lose my focus on the beach level?
Celestia: You know what? No. (Gets up and walks away) No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Final lap! Top 4 so far:1st. Pegasisters.2nd. Tricksters.3rd. Pen Pals.4th. Mario Bros.(Seeing how far behind the Wonderbolts were, they got a golden mushroom and a lightning bolt from the double item box used both of the items. It was good enough to get them into 6th place. That's when they used the lightning bolt and all the other teams shrunk.)
Soarin: Why would those guys do that to us?
Spitfire: They're probably mad we took their win in the last stage. Not our fault they don't know how a draft works.
(Skip ahead as we see the Tricksters trying to catch the Pegasisters.)
Gilda: This ain't over yet Dash!
Rainbow Dash looks behind: Man, they are not letting up!
Trixie: You thought you escaped from us? Well think again!
Scootaloo: Actually, you should think about avoiding the Piranha Plants.
Trixie: Oh please, like Trixie is dumb enough to believe... (A piranha plant reach out and makes contact with the kart knocking them back.)
Twilight: Our shield is gone. We need our last item box!
Sunset: I got it covered! (Grabbed a double item box and got triple green shells and a mushroom.) We'll make it work.
Twilight: And we're almost- (A red shell hits their kart and they flip out of control.) How did we get hit? We had protection!
Applejack(now passing by): You know there's a gap between the shells. Time it right, then it's a guaranteed hit.
(They take the last jump and the finish line is in view.)
Twilight: Almost there!
(That is until the Mario Bros. had a golden mushroom and boosted pass them giving them 7th.)
Sunset: Didn't see that coming.
Mario Circuit Final results:
1st. Pegasisters.
2nd. Tricksters.
3rd. Bowsers.
4th. Apple Siblings.
5th. Ex-Sisters.
6th. Wonderbolts.
7th. Mario Bros.
8th. Pen Pals.
Discord: Now for the moment you all have been waiting for. It's time for the very last race of the day. I saved the best for last which is... (He snaps his fingers and everyone is now in space on a rainbow colored track. The audience is seen watching this in a space station.) Viola, Rainbow Road!
Final race 16/16: Rainbow Road.
Discord: Everybody ready?
All the teams: Yes!
Twilight: Uh wait, where's the audience?
Discord: They are located in a space station nearby, so they're all okay. Since this is the last race, I'll have you all do two laps only instead of three.
Sunset: Well that's good news.
(Lakitu counts down one last time and has the stoplight out. The minute the light turned green, everyone is off for the very last race. We go to the audience in the space station.)
Sweetie Belle: Wow! That is beautiful!
Rarity: What a magnificent view!
Lyra: Isn't it pretty Bon Bon?
Bon Bon: It's like everything I thought it would be. Too bad we're not part of the fun.
Pinkie Pie: This is amazing! I can't believe we're in space and close to a Rainbow too. (Grabs a megaphone.) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Do you think they heard us?
(Some of the teams had their ears covered but a few didn't.)
Koopa: If we did, I think they might have.
Paratroopa: No doubt. (Fainted afterwards.)
Cut back to the racetrack as they are now at the twists and turns.)
Scootaloo: This is cool! We're racing on a rainbow!
Rainbow Dash: Not to mention, this is the last race! We gotta make this count.
Trixie: We have one more shot to win.
Bowser: Which means it's time for one last hurrah!
Gilda: What do you have in mind?
Bowser Jr: Let's start off with this! (Holds their Bowser shell and threw it forward.)
(Up ahead, the shell makes contact with Pen Pals and Wonderbolts.)
(Currently in the lead: Apple Siblings as they are at the zig zag part of the race.)
Apple Bloom: We're in the lead!
Applejack: Ah'll handle the driving, you take care of the items.
Apple Bloom: Rainbow Dash is right behind us and here comes a red shell.
Applejack: Use the banana peel to block it!
(She did and it prevents the shell from hitting them. Shortly after, they take the giant rainbow tube up to the next level and land on the target below.)
Apple Bloom:That was so cool! Can we go again?
Rainbow Dash: Maybe on the second lap.
Applejack: So ya caught up didn't ya?
Rainbow Dash: May the best team win!
Applejack: Yer on!
(It was another jump and diwn the spiral ramp onto the final lap.)
Final lap! Top 4 so far:
1st. Apple Siblings.
2nd. Pegasisters.
3rd. Tricksters.
4th. Wonderbolts.
Spitfire:We're so close to the lead.
Soarin: This is the last chance to get in first and win!
Spitfire: I don't know, those Bowser guys are really out to get us.
Soarin: What are the chances they'll target us again?
Bowser: Pretty likely if you ask me. (Rammed into their kart to knock them off.)
Spitfire: Would you guys quit it already?
Bowser Jr: What's the word we're looking for? It's uhh... Oh yeah, Never!
(Both of them use the dash panel and they ram into their kart again. Far back are the last three teams: Ex-Sisters, Pen Pals, and Mario Bros.)
Twilight: It's okay, even if we're not in the front, we'll be ok with our score. I hope.
Sunset: After the launch, use the shield, it makes sense to use it after.
(When they were in the rainbow launching area, they didn't notice lightning struck but they were unaffected by it. Turns out the Mario Bros. were the team that used it.)
(In sixth place is the Ex-Sisters who just received an invincibility star from the item box.)
(Up ahead, the Siblings and Pegasisters are close to the end as they are near the last turn.)
Applejack: You're going down Dash!
Rainbow Dash: Oh, I don't think so.
(It's neck and neck just mere seconds away from the finish line, but the team who crossed first was...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
... The Pegasisters by a second.
Rainbow Dash: Yes! We won!
Applejack: Good race Rainbow!
Rainbow Road Final results:
1st. Pegasisters.
2nd. Apple Siblings.
3rd. Tricksters.
4th. Bowsers.
5th. Wonderbolts.
6th. Ex-Sisters.
7th. Pen Pals.
8th. Mario Bros.
Discord: Now that all the races are done, back to the beach to announce the final results.
(Later, everyone is back on the Peach Beach stage and the teams are waiting along with the eliminated teams.)
Koopa: This is tight! I really want to see the winners!
Discord: There's just one thing, (Snaps his fingers and poofs up a podium for the winning teams.) Now before we announce the winning teams, let's get to the bonus points.
Bowser: You never mentioned that!
Discord: I know, after looking at the footage, it shows that the Mario Bros. won two stages in a row. I'm going to give them an additional 10 points for that.
The Mario Bros along with the audience cheers after hearing this.
Discord: However, there will be a few teams that will lose points.
Gilda: What for?
Discord: Let's see (He reviews all the footage from the while tournament.) Sabotaging other teams, redirecting signs, and using powers. My, that's just cheating.
Twilight: Wait, I used mine through the race, does it count?
Discord: Well it was used as an item so I'll allow it! Both of you guys lose 10 points for cheating.
Bowser Jr: What?
Trixie: You can't do that.
Discord: Yes I can, now let's announce the final results. You guys ready?
Everyone: Yes!
Discord: Now in 3rd place with 70 points are... Celestia and Luna!
Celestia: What?
Luna: How? We didn't get first and we came in 3rd.
Celestia: This is the greatest thing to ever happen to us.
Discord: Now between the Wonderbolts and Pegasisters, it shows that...
...
...
...
...
...
... The Pegasisters won with 86 points! Wonderbolts take second place with 85 points.
Rainbow Dash: Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh!We won!
Scootaloo: Wahoo! We did it!
Spitfire: Good job Dash!
Soarin: If we do this again sometime, we'll beat you next time!
Spitfire: But congratulations on your victory!
Rainbow Dash: Thanks! (They hoof bump each other.) But next time, we'll win again.
(We now see the top three teams on the podium. All the teams and eliminated teams cheered and applauded for the winners; except for three teams.)
Discord: As for the rest of the teams, let's go over the scores. In 4th place are the Mario Bros. with 66 points, 5th place goes to the Bowsers with 61 points. Originally they had 71 points but dropped to 61.
Bowser Jr: So we would have been in 3rd if we didn't lose points? This is bogus.
Discord: Please let me finish, and in 6th place are the Apple Siblings with 58 points. (This just leaves the Pen Pals and Tricksters.) and the last team that survives is...
...
...
...
Discord: Congratulations Tricksters!
Gilda: Yes!
Discord: You are today's losing team!
Trixie and Gilda: WHAT!?
Discord: Yes, that 10 point deduction landed both of you in last place with 51 points. The Pen Pals stay with 57 points.
Trixie: T-This can't be fair!
Discord: It is. Only will and determination advance in races, not cheating. So both of you are out of this race. Now please leave!
Fluttershy: As for the eliminated teams, thank you all for being with us and cheering on the teams. The cruise ship will be escorting you all back home; including today's losing team.
(All the teams board the cruise ship.)
Trixie: You haven't heard the end of us!
Gilda: And Dash, this is NOT over!
Rainbow Dash: For you, it is. See ya!
(They were both angry as they got on the ship and it departs from the dock.)
(The best of Trixie and Gilda: Tricksters)
(Scenes of this team's great moments are played as they recap.)
Gilda: This stinks! I can't believe we lost!
Trixie: I wish we would have lasted longer, but no, we got eliminated over some lousy rules.
Gilda: Other than that, I was kinda glad of those things we did, but we only won ONE leg.
Trixie: After the way we were, we didn't deserve winning.
Gilda: This experience was new to us, but it was fun while it lasted.
Trixie: We need to turn a new leaf starting now.
(The scene is over as they walk through the ship.)
Gilda shoves someone in the pool.
Gilda: Or maybe when we get back home.
(The ship now sails off into the sunset. Cut back to the beach.)
Discord: Wow! Who would have predicted Trixie and Gilda would be gone? I will not even miss them! Two antagonist teams are eliminated and one remains. We're now down to the lucky 7. Who's going all the way? And where are we going next? Tune in next time for more action right here on... The Amazing Crossover Race!
(END)
There you have it, Trixie and Gilda are finally out and 7 remain. If there's any other references you can find in the episode, feel free to post them. This was my first time doing a Mario Kart chapter so feel free to comment on your thoughts and I'll get to work on Episode 22.
