Episode 26: The Eggs-traordinary Semifinal Battle.
*Note: For those of you that don't know the game Fortune Street, look it up on Google or Youtube because this is the next challenge but that game will be played a little bit differently. Thank you! Enjoy the chapter.
(Scenes of the previous leg are played as there's another recap.)
Discord VO: On the last episode of the Amazing Crossover Race! The heat started getting to every single team in Darjeeling India. Where they collected tea leaves and set on the Darjeeling express. Unfortunately, the Bowsers planned to stall every other team's chances of winning which completely backfired and got them hit with a one hour penalty costing them first place which allowed the Mario Bros. to slip by and take first place. The princesses made amends and are now back together again, Scootaloo had an accident and two injuries, and the Pen Pals were booted from the race after coming in last. (Pictures of the remaining four teams are shown.) The Mario Bros, Royal Sisters, Pegasisters, and the Bowsers are our final four fanatics as we been through multiple universes and the excitement continues.
(Discord appears)
Discord: Only two more places left to go and this next challenge will be the most toughest challenge yet. Now it's a non-stop race to the end. Anyone that slows down, will fall WAY behind. Let's start the ultimate semi-final battle right here, right now on... The Amazing Crossover Race!
(The intro begins again after a snap of fingers.)
(End of intro.)
Episode 26: The Eggs-traordinary Semifinal Battle.
(We are now seen back at Decision Junction.)
Discord: Welcome back to Darjeeling India and yesterday, we had the leg end here, so it's today's starting point. Mario and Luigi are up first since they won yesterday.
(Mario and Luigi step up to the cloudbox and get the first tip.)
(Interview: Mario Bros.)
Mario: We made a perfect turnaround yesterday.
Luigi: We went from second last to first in one day. Now we're in the final four. This is the greatest moment of our lives!
Mario: If we play our cards right, we have a shot at winning this whole thing.
Mario: Take the pipe to the Mario Universe where you will teleport to Yoshi Island.
(An image of Yoshi's Island is shown.)
Discord: Located in the Mario Universe, Yoshi Island is an island where all of the Yoshis; including the original one live in peace. In this small village, red, blue, yellow, orange, pink, and so many more yoshis occupy this place where... Well I don't know exactly what these guys do. However, they won't get to interact with them because once all the teams arrive there, more will be explained.
(They leave and the next team comes up.)
Celestia: It's a new day! You ready for this Luna?
Luna: Of course, with us together again, let's start the next leg!
(Interview: Royal Sisters)
Celestia: I'm glad we were able to settle our differences.
Luna: Yes, now that we're sisters again, we can focus on the prize and make a promise not to have anymore fights.
Celestia: And the best part is we made it to the semifinals. It doesn't matter if we win or lose, I'll be glad doing this with you.
Luna: Me too, but let's not go home.
(They follow the first team to the pipe and the next team steps up.)
Rainbow Dash: Ready kid?
Scootaloo: Yep! Ow! (Winced in pain.)
(Interview: Pegasisters)
Rainbow Dash: We are so close to the end. It would have been a shame if we lost now, but we have a shot at winning the race?
Scootaloo: I may be injured and all, but I am not giving up now.
Rainbow Dash: That's the spirit kid! Ready to show those other teams what for?
Scootaloo: You know it!
(They were about to hoof bump but forgot her hoof was injured.)
Rainbow Dash: Let's just agree with a nod.
(Last but not least, the Bowsers are the last team to depart from the starting line.)
(Interview: Bowsers)
Bowser Jr: I still think we should have won yesterday.
Bowser: Son relax, we're still in the race by a close save. If those teams think they can beat us, then they're mistaken.
Bowser Jr: Yes, now that we're in the semifinals, it's time to really show them all what we're capable of.
(They follow the teams to the pipe and jump in it. They met with the other teams that waited patiently by the Yoshi Village.)
Scootaloo: Whoa! This is the Yoshi Village? Cool!
Mario: I wonder why we have to come here.
(That was until a random Yoshi approached the teams.)
Gray Yoshi: Are you guys the teams in the race?
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, heard of us?
Gray Yoshi: Yes. Also I'm gonna need the following players to come with me: Luigi, Scootaloo, Bowser Jr, and Luna, please follow me to that warp pipe.
Luna: Only us four, but why?
Gray Yoshi: You'll find out! As for the rest of you, you can hang out, do whatever, or come watch your teammates.)
(The players that were called followed him to the pipe leaving the other four behind.)
Mario: We should go see what's going on.
Rainbow Dash: You read my mind.
(They followed their partners down the pipe and they are now seen on a different part of the island but it's in the air in a custom board map design.)
Luigi: Whoa! What are we doing here?
(That's when Discord appeared on cue.)
Discord: Greetings everyone, I bet you're all wondering why you're here.
Scootaloo: Not really.
Discord: Well feast your eyes on the Ultimate Semifinal Survival Challenge!
Luna: What?
Discord: Indeed! For this Ultimate Survival challenge, it's a game of thinking, cash, shops, suits, buildings, venture cards, warps, cannons, capital, net worth, and buyouts. Say hello to your next and only challenge: Fortune Street!
Scootaloo: Fortune what now?
Discord: Similar to Monopoly, Fortune Street is a game where you need to buy shops, collect four suits, and get a high enough net worth or bankrupt others. Today, all four of you will battle it out on this map to collect the four suits scattered around the board.
Luigi: Seems like a lot!
Discord: Which is why I going to give you guys these! (He snaps his fingers and made two electronic wristbands on each hand or hoof.) The wristband on you left is the amount of ready cash you currently have, and on your right is the net worth amount. Let me explain how this works, most of the spaces have prices on them. Land on one of those and you can decide whether or not you want to buy that shop. The more you have in a row, the higher you can raise the prices. Land on someone else's, you have to pay them the amount shown, or you can buy it out and take it for 5 times its value.
Bowser Jr: Five times? What a ripoff.
Discord: However, there will be no shop buying will be involved, we're only going to play this game a little bit more differently. All you need to do is gather the spades, hearts, diamonds, and the clubs. Bring all four of those suits back to the bank in order to level up. The three teams that make it back to the bank with all four suits and reach level 3 will be moving on to the finals, the last team to make it to the bank and reach level 3, will be eliminated from the race. Also, you all might need these. (He made two electronic wristbands appear on each player. One to show them which level they're on, and the other to show them all the suits they've collected.) They'll help you throughout this challenge
Scootaloo: Wait. How am I supposed to move around the board if my hoof's broken?
Discord: I already thought of that. (He poofs up a wheelchair for her.) Problem solved. Any other secrets you want to know about this board?
Luigi: I don't mind hearing a few.
Discord: On this board, there is a cannon space. If you land on that, then you can blast to another player's square of your choice. Also, there are two pipes on this stage. If you land on one of them, you come out of the other one on the board. For instance, let's say there's one right there. (Points to the pipe.) and the other one is over there. (Points to the other pipe on the opposite side.) You go in one, you come out the other pipe safely.
Scootaloo: Oh that's how it works.
Discord: Now with that taken care of, it's time to decide the order. Good luck to you all. May the best win and the worst fall.
(A bunch of number slot machines appear above them and start spinning. It shows the slots stop on 04, 73, 68, 40.)
Turn order:
Luna
Luigi
Bowser Jr.
Scootaloo
Easy Rules.
Yoshi's Island.
Target Level: 3
Game type: Collect all the suits.
That's the order set!
(All the players are now on the bank space with a wristwatch that are around their arms or hooves. Right now, Luna has the dice block.)
Luna: What is this spotted cube?
Discord: That is the dice which you need to roll to move around the board.
Luna: Oh. (Rolls the dice and got a '4'. Goes right and grabbed the diamond and stopped on the square after the venture space.)
Now it's Luigi's turn and he rolls a 5 follows Luna. He stopped on the space ahead of her.
Bowser Jr: Watch and learn how the master does it. (Tossed the dice which landed on 6, he goes left, collected the heart, and land on the dice block.) What's this?
Discord: Land on this, and you get to roll again.
Bowser Jr: Alright. It's like this game was made for me. (Rolled again and got a five. He moved five spaces and lands on the square after the pipe.
Scootaloo: Looks like I'm up. (She rolls a two and goes left which lands her on the heart.) What happens now?
Discord: You get to draw a venture card, but only the ones useful to this challenge.
(She draws a card which is #51.)
Scootaloo: Move 1 square more. (Moves up one space and her turn ends.)
Luna: It's my turn again. (Rolls another 4 and got the spade next.) Two suits down and two left. I'm getting good at this.
(Luigi's turn.)
Luigi: I already have one suit, but I need three more. (He rolled the dice and got a 1. He lands on the spades square.) Alright, I get to pick a card. (He drew a venture card which was #57.) Hmm, zoom to any square you like. Awesome! I choose the hearts square. (He then gets teleported to the hearts square and stops there.) Wow! That's one great way to travel. (He picks another card and it was #82.) Freebie, take a club! (His watch started flashing which shows he collected all four suits.) Wow! Back to the bank and it's on to level 2.
(It's Bowser Jr's turn.)
Bowser Jr: I may have 1 suit, but I'll get the others lickety split. (Rolled a 1.) What a cheap dice!
Scootaloo: Looks like I'm up! (Rolled the dice which shows a 6. She moves that many squares and lands on the pipe. She goes down it and reappears on the opposite side close to the clubs.) That's so cool. I was over there a moment ago, now I just teleport over here. Neat!
(Turn 3.)
Luna: Let's hope I get something other than a 4. (She rolls again and got a 6.) Hmmm, this could be a tough choice, but I'll go left. (Grabbed the club, passed the pipe, and landed on the space before the cannon.)
(Luigi's turn.)
Luigi: I'm just a hop, skip, and a jump away from a promotion! (He rolls again and gets a 5. He was three spaces from the bank and lands there. His watch with the suits cleared and the screen reads "Promotion!") Just one more time around and I'm in the lead.
Discord: There's more, you still have two spaces left.
Luigi: Oh. (Moves two more squares and stopped on the diamond. He takes another venture card which was #81.) All other players can only move 1 on their next turn.
(Bowser Jr's turn.)
Bowser Jr: Whoa. Something's not right. This stupid die must be broken. (He rolled a 1 and stopped on the space before the lift square.)
Scootaloo: I'm up again, and why do I have a feeling something isn't right. (Rolled a 1 from the dice block and landed on the club's. She picked a venture card which was #80.) Freebie! Take a spade! (It shows she has three suits and now she needs the diamond.)
(Turn #4.)
Luna: Okay, here goes. (Rolls a 1 due to the venture card and lands on the cannon square.)
Discord: Oooh, look like we have our first cannon player. Choose your location!
Luna: There!
Discord: You'll be blasted over to Bowser Jr's location.
(Luna hops in the cannon and blasts off across the board and landed on the same square as Bowser Jr.)
Luna: That was fun! I wouldn't mind going again.
(Luigi goes next and receives a four. He decided to go up since it was quicker and landed on the spades drawing another venture card. The card he got was 100 which reads: Freebie! Take a suit yourself card!)
Luigi: What is this?
Discord: With this, you can use it as one of the suits so you can save time and go to the bank. You can use it as a spade, heart, diamond, or club. Basically, it represents any suit of your choice, and you can save time on this map.
Luigi: Finally! Something I can actually use.
(Bowser Jr rolls again and gets a 6. He then gets on the lift and it carries him to the other side where he gets off.)
(Scootaloo gets a 2 and lands on a shop square, so that ends her turn.)
(It is now the 5th turn which brings us to Luna. She gets a 5 and passed the pipe square landing two squares ahead of it. Luigi and Bowser Jr. both got 4's on their next turn but nothing happened when Luigi went and Bowser Jr. collected the clubs. Scootaloo rolls a 5 and took the top path which landed her on a square before the venture space.)
Luna: My turn again! (Rolled a five and lands on the heart square.) Looks like I pick another card. (Picked from the deck giving her a 29.) Freebie! Take a Heart! But I already have one.
Discord: Then nothing happens. Next!
Luigi: Only one more suit to go and it's back to the bank and then onto first place! (Rolls again and the dice lands on 5. He moves that many squares and lands on the cannon square.) I guess it's my turn for a cannon ride! I choose that space!
(He hops in the cannon and blasts off across the board and landed on Luna's square which was the heart.)
Luigi: Wow! I just need a three then I win!
Bowser Jr: You think you can beat me? I like to see you try. (His next roll gave him a 2 and lands on the spade. He picks a card which was #47.) Dicey adventure. Roll a 2-6 to get all the suits. Roll a 1 and you lose all your suits. Pfft! Easy! (Rolls the dice and got 4.) Ha! Told ya it was easy!
(Once his turn was over, Scootaloo has the dice again and rolls a 5 which got her back to the bank and leveled up to level 2. After her level up, she had one space left and lands on the space after the bank.)
Luna: My turn. (Rolled a 5 and levels up to the second level. She had to spaces left and lands on the diamond square. Another venture card was drawn and she gets #52.) Move another 2 squares! (She does so and stops on the square ahead of the venture space.)
Luigi: All I need is a 3. Come on, I'm feeling lucky today! (He rolls the dice which lands on...
...
...
...
...
...
...
... a 6.
(He lands on the bank with three spaces to spare.)
Luigi: Yes! Level 3! I'm done!
Discord: Congrats Luigi! You won today's leg for your team. (Presents him with the next travel tip.) Take this pipe back to your partner and here's your next tip.
Luigi: Awesome. (Reads) Wait by the ship where you'll fly to... New York City!
Bowser Jr: That should be me! (It was his turn and he rolled a 4 taking the quick path and stopped on the diamond. He selects another venture card which was #87. Roll the special 7 and 8 dice and move again.) Now that's more like it. (Rolled the special dice giving him a 7 and got back to the bank in two spaces; which got him to level 2. He still had five more spaces left and lands on the square before the dice square.)
(When his turn was over, Scootaloo rolled a three which landed her one square behind Bowser Jr after collecting the heart.)
Discord VO: We now reached the 8th turn and one team finished the challenge which was the Mario Bros. as they are one of the three teams that will be competing in the finale, and soon we'll get to know which two teams will join them.
(Luna rolls again and collects the spade after rolling a five decides to go left and stops on the square before the club. Bowser Jr gets a 2 which puts him ahead of the venture on square, then Scootaloo rolls a four which puts her one space ahead of him.)
Luna: I think I have a good feeling about this next one. (Rolled a 3 and got the clubs, but passed the pipe.) Or not.
(Both Scootaloo and Bowser Jr landed on the same square which was exactly two spaces away from the lift square after Bowser Jr got a 5, and Scootaloo got a 4.)
Luna: I think I have a shot at the cannon again. Come on, mama needs a new crown! (The dice comes up as 6 which makes her pass the cannon and having to take the long way around.) So close, yet so far.
(No matter what number they both got, both Bowser Jr and Scootaloo got a number 1 taking the lift square to the opposite side which lands them one space before the club.)
(Turn 11.)
Luna: Here goes! (Rolls a 2 landing on the diamond. She picked a card from the deck which was #115.) Misadventure, all other players can move 7 on their next turn. Well this doesn't seem fair to me.
(The venture card Luna selected made Scootaloo and Bowser roll a 7 landing them one space ahead of the spade after collecting that and the club which make three suits collect and the diamond as the last one.)
Luna: Well this doesn't look good for me. I need the heart, but I have to go all the way around again to get it. (Rolled another two landing on the bank and stopping there.)
(Bowser Jr's turn.)
Bowser Jr: Hee Hee Hee! Almost time to level up! That'll make one step closer to being king! (He rolls a 5 and landed on the bank exactly and leveled up to level 3.) I did it! I won!
Discord: Well not the challenge or the leg, but you do take second! (Just then, Scootaloo makes it back to the bank with a 6 and she leveled up to the third level as well.) Scootaloo, third place!
Luna: Yep! I knew it!
Scootaloo: I could get used to traveling like this.
Bowser Jr: I'll be used to traveling if you weren't coming!
Discord: Speaking of traveling, here are your travel tips. (Hands Bowser Jr and Scootaloo travel tips.)
Scootaloo: New York City!? This will be exciting!
(Everyone jumps in the pipe and they all reconvened with their partners.)
(Interview: Bowsers)
Bowser Jr: So we're going to New York City eh? Well it's all coming down to this.
Bowser: The only teams standing in our way are those pesky Mario Brothers and those girly pegasus ponies. That's not going to stop us.
Bowser Jr: I still can't believe I had to *shudders* play fair to survive this.
Bowser: Would you rather be disqualified for that? It's one more leg, we'll go back to our old ways then.
Bowser Jr: You're right. And it's going to be good.
(The three teams that completed the challenge already left to board the flight to New York City. Cut back to Celestia and Luna sitting on a bench.)
Luna: I'm sorry Tia. I tried my hardest, but it wasn't enough.
Celestia: It's okay, you gave it your best shot, and I'm not mad. I'm actually proud of you.
Luna: Thanks Celestia!
(They gave each other a hug until Discord comes up to them.)
Discord: Well, well, former Ex-Sisters, you lost the ultimate survival challenge.
Celestia: I think you forgot we're actually the 'Royal Sisters' again!
Discord: Fine, but you're still out.
(Both of them turn to each other before walking off.)
(The Best of Celestia and Luna: Royal/Ex-Sisters)
(Scenes of this team's best moments are played as they both recap.)
Luna: You had to let me do that tough challenge didn't you?
Celestia: It wasn't me, that Yoshi said you had to do it.
Luna: Relax, I'm just messing with you. Besides what did you expect? You're hotter than the sun which is your special talent.
Celestia: Aww, shucks Luna!
Luna: We may not have won, but we still did some pretty great thing as a team.
Celestia: When things got tough, we took the heat, and even had each others back sometimes.
Luna: Which was a lot of time, but even with our ups and downs, downs most importantly, we didn't give up.
Celestia: Even carry other sometimes.
Luna: Just no more parachuting, I was petrified completely!
Celestia: *giggles* This experience made us better, stronger, and closer than ever. I know what I want now, and it's you Luna.
Luna: And I want you Celestia.
(The scene is over and they are both walking away in the sunset.)
Luna: I prefer if we never fight or argue again as long as we both shall live.
Celestia: Agreed, let's just put all that behind us.
Luna: By the way, what did you guys do while I was doing the challenge?
Celestia: You know what? I'll tell you about it when we get home.
(The camera turns back to Discord.)
Discord: This is it, it all comes down to our final three teams: The Mario Bros, Bowsers, and Pegasisters. With two Mario teams and one Equestrian team left, will the final two be all the ones from the Mushroom Kingdom, or not? And what will be in store for our finalist teams as we head to New York City for an epic finale? Stay tuned because you do not want to miss the exciting conclusion here on... The Amazing Crossover Race!
(END)
That's right, New York City is where it's all going to end but it's going to be 'Extended' from the original. And you know it all comes down to this! Who will win? Who will lose? Leave your comments below.
And yes, Celestia and Luna are now gone, so that means either vote for:
Mario and Luigi (Mario Bros.)
Bowser and Bowser Jr (Bowsers)
Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo (Pegasisters)
There isn't a lot, but you can try to spot the references that were used in this chapter if you like and stay tuned as the epic conclusion is coming soon!
*PS Look up Fortune Street if haven't done that yet or you don't know what it is.
