Chapter 2 of the Amazing Race! 3...2...1...GO!
BTW, Nintendo Nut1 is the host, in case you're wondering.
Responses:
I have no reviews. Oh well, the show must go on...
Master Hand and the Smashers beheld a 15-year-old girl that, from her features, seemed to be a Hylian, yet she also had the characteristics of a wolf. Her bronze hair reached to her shoulders, and her yellow eyes, with their turquoise pupils, were bright and full of excitement. Her purple short-sleeved jacket seemed to go with the jeans she wore, and there was also a holster on her thigh and waist, carrying the elbow blades she used as weapons. She also had an Uzi in her right hand. Eyeing the Smashers dubiously, she strolled over to Master Hand, whose posture assumed an air of surprise, discontent and some polite incredulity. "Are you the Master Hand that runs the tournament?"
"Uh...yes, I am?"
"Yayness! Yayness! Yayness!" She spun around, something she would do the whole course of the race, and stopped suddenly to stare at Link. "OOH! So kawaii!" She immediately began to play with Link's ears, all the while the Smashers staring in shock.
"Is she the host!" Captain Falcon bellowed. "Hell, I think I'll pass."
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Her voice had the qualities of a she-devil and a corrosive acid, causing Captain Falcon to shit himself. As the yellow fluid rolled down his pant leg and created a puddle on the floor, Fox asked, "Who are you?"
"Moi? I...I can't tell you my name for legal reasons. However, my penname is Nintendo Nut1." She nodded, as to justify something that the Smashers did not know. "I am the host, so you'll have to bear with me here, okay? I'll try not to act too crazy...so, shall we start?"
"YEAH!" everyone replied.
As the HEXAeco tower began to chime the countless hours, the streets and the skies above the Grand Metropolis filled with cars. They seemed to weave through the buildings of metal and wood as the harbor came into view. The harbor was a huge bay that was full of boats, buoys, and an erratic sprawl of docks. Among the warehouses and storefronts were trees that lined the coast. Nintendo Nut1 had stepped into view, and she began to explain the events surrounding the harbor. "I am standing upon Herringway Avenue, 'the Street of Shops' in the Grand Metropolis, one of the most important ports on the Smash Island. From this historic harbor, 14 teams will embark on a race around Nintendo for 1 million." Soon several helicopters were flying into view, and she explained, "Helicopters are now racing the teams toward the harbor. Each team is made up of two people with an existing relationship. The 14 teams are...
"Mario and Luigi, brothers and heroes from the Mushroom Kingdom,
"Mario and I...we don't-a exactly have-a the best relationship-a as far as-a brothers-a go." Luigi replied. "I never did-a appreciate-a my brother, and-a we're-a hoping this-a race will bring us-a together."
"Yes-a, well, I-a love my brother, and it-a pains me to-a see him like-a this." Mario hugged Luigi, and finished, "We-a want to-a be brothers in terms-a of emotions and-a behavior."
"Peach and Samus, best friends from the Mushroom Kingdom and Planet Zebes,
"We enjoy psyching teams out." Samus replied. "It's fun to see the looks on their faces when they get beaten bay a bunch of girls."
"And we want to win to prove girls can be as tough as boys!" Peach finished.
"Link and Zelda, who are dating each other and is a hero and princess from Hyrule,
"We like each other. If we have any weaknesses, the other uses their strengths to help and vice versa." Link replied.
"I guess we came here because we want to get closer to each other." Zelda finished, her head on Link's shoulder.
"Bowser and Ganondorf, villains from Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule,
"Yeah!" Bowser shouted. "We'll win..."
"...and crush all in our way!" Ganondorf ended. "That's all there is to it!"
"DK and Yoshi, fellow creatures from Kongo Jungle and Yoshi's Island,
"Yoshi! I want to win so I can eat all the fruit I want!"
"Well, I just value traveling the world, seeing new places, eat a lot of bananas, maybe met some girls..." DK replied.
"Hmm...interesting." Yoshi finished.
"Kirby and Jigglypuff, dating on and off for three years from Pop Star and Kanto,
"Kirby is very competitive, and so am I, but not to the extreme." Jigglypuff replied.
"Well, I don't know what's keeping us together, but it's a hell of a lot stronger than what's tearing us apart." Kirby finished.
"Fox and Falco, workmates from Corneria,
"We have a complex that prevents up from quitting." Fox answered. "We want to win as much as anyone..."
"And win we will do, this is like cake to us!" Falco finished.
"Ness and Mewtwo, psychics from Eagleland and Kanto,
"No comment." Ness and Mewtwo replied.
"okay...Popo and Nana, siblings from the Infinite Glacier,
"We may be little, but we're tough!" Popo replied.
"And we're ready to show the other teams who's boss!" Nana finished.
"Pikachu and Pichu, buddies from Kanto and Johto,
"We first met on the set of the Pikachu and Pichu short in Brooklyn," Pikachu replied. "I wanted to see the world, and so did Pichu. And that's why we're here. Pika!"
"Yay! I love to travel, and have a friend by my side, and did I say I love to travel?" Pichu added, causing them both to laugh.
"Roy and Lilina, best friends from Pherae and Ostia,
"Personally, I feel a lot better with Lilina around. She's a great friend, a good-hearted soul, and she keeps me in check if something goes wrong." Roy opted.
"And I...I wouldn't know what to do without him. I would not leave his side, because he's my favorite person in all Lycia." Lilina finished.
"Aw, shucks..."
"Marth and Sheeda, lovers from Altea and Talis,
"Well, we first met during this battle in Altea, and she is still as beautiful as she was when we first met." Marth replied.
"Stop it...you're making me blush..."Sheeda replied.
"That's because you're so beautiful."
"Marth..."
"Young Link and Dr. Mario, friends from Hyrule and Mushroom Kingdom,
"No comment."
"And Captain Falcon (coughevilasscough) and Mr. Game & Watch, from Port Town and Flat Zone."
We are-" Captain Falcon started.
"But who cares about them? Can these teams put up with the stress of traveling with one another over more than 40,000 miles? Who will come up with the right combination of brains, brawn, and teamwork to win a pot of chocolate?"
"WHAT THE HELL?"
"I meant 1 million. Sorry. These questions and more will be answered as we get ready to begin...the Amazing Race." Nintendo Nut1 then ran off to the starting point, chewing on a chocolate bar. "Mmm...good..."
She later joined the teams at the starting point, singing and twirling all the way. "She's nuts..." "French fries good." "What the devil are you talking about?" "Burpaholic!"
"Ok. In just a few minutes, you are all leaving in a race around the world. The race is split into a number of legs. And as you travel, you will have to complete a various set of tasks. You will receive a small amount of cash at the start of each leg. That money has to cover all expenses except air fare. At the end of each leg there is a pit stop. 11 of these pit stops are elimination points, so get to them as fast as you can, because the last team to check in will be eliminated. Do you understand?" After receiving a series of 'Yes's from the teams, she continued, "You will find your first clue on top of the luggage that you brought with you," Nintendo Nut1 motioned towards the Smashers' baggage. "Once I give the word, you can run to your luggage, read the clue, jump into one of the cars in the parking lot," She then motioned towards the parking lot, where several hovercars were parked. "And then the rest...is up to you. The first team to cross the finish line will get the 1 million." Receiving cheers from everyone, Nintendo Nut1 asked, " Is everybody ready? Good! Nintendo's waiting...Good luck, and travel safe...GO!" She had to jump out of the way to avoid being trampled by a mob of Smashers, and dropped her chocolate. BOO! Anyway, Pikachu and Pichu, being fleeter of foot, reached their clue long before everyone else.
"Let's see..." Pichu began reading. "'Fly to the land of Hyrule.' YAY! 'Once there, travel by carriage to the Hyrule Market and search for your next clue. Teams can only depart via two flights leaving the O' Sheller Airport: Corneria flight 283, or Mushroom flight 398. You have 132 dollars for this leg of the race.' Well, let's go!" Pikachu and Pichu bounded into the hovercar and sped off, gaining a huge head start.
"Little buggers..." Link replied as he read the clue. "Come on, Zel, let's move."
"Why? We know about Hyrule more than anyone else..." Then she noticed Ganondorf and Young Link running up, and replied, "Point taken. Let's make like an egg and beat it!" They jumped into their hovercar and sped off after Pikachu and Pichu.
"Mamma Mia!" Mario squeaked. "Let's-a move!" Mario and Luigi hopped into the hovercar after them.
Pikachu and Pichu
Buddies
Currently in 1st place
"Pichu, where is it!" Pikachu was driving erratically through the Grand Metropolis, dodging cars and knocking over trashcans and light posts. People on the sidewalk had to jump into the street to avoid them, and this caused several car crashes in their wake.
"According to this map, we're already there." Pichu pointed ahead, and Pikachu saw the airport on-ramp. He drove on, managing to not cause any more crashes.
Sighing, Pikachu replied exasperatingly, "That went well," parking in the garage and running to the shuttle.
Link and Zelda
Dating
Currently in 2nd place
"Look out!" Link had to swerve again as he avoided cars that were littered in the street. This continued until they finally reached the airport on-ramp.
"Pokémon are bad drivers..." Link and Zelda caught the shuttle, causing Pikachu and Pichu to sigh. "They're here..."
"Let's just hop no other teams show up..." Pichu replied.
Marth and Sheeda
Lovers
Currently in 4th place
"Holy crap, where'd this come from!" Marth had barely enough time to dodge the cars, while Sheeda was being tossed around in the back. "Marth! Stop that!"
"There's cars all over the road. It's unavoidable." Marth had raced past Mario and Luigi, who was having their own problems to deal with. "Hey, did we just pass the Mario brothers?"
"Looks like it. That's good." Sheeda replied as Marth boarded the on-ramp.
Capt. Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch
Acquaintances
Currently in Last Place
"Geez, if that crazy broad didn't hold us up, we'd be in first..." Capt. Falcon was plowing through everything in his way, whether it was cars, light posts, or other teams.
"BEEP."
"Well said."
Roy and Lilina
Best Friends
Currently in 5th place
"We're tied, aren't we..." Roy was staring at Pikachu, Pichu, Link, Zelda, Mario, Luigi, Marth, Sheeda, and Lilina as they were riding the first shuttle to the airport.
"Yep."
"Well, we might as well work together." Lilina had pulled out a cell phone and called the airport. "Yes, I'd like to know...no, I'm not...Corneria flight 283...no, I want to know...what? The other flight? It's Mushroom...oh...oh, well, thank you." She hung up, and turned to the others. "It looks like the Corneria flight leaves later, but arrives 30 minutes earlier than the Mushroom flight."
"Then that's where we go." With that, everyone got out of the shuttle and ran off to the Corneria flight counter.
2nd shuttle to airport
"Here we are." The other teams were piling up at the Mushroom flight counter. Grabbing their tickets, they boarded the flight.
Nintendo Nut1 replied in a voiceover tone, "On the Corneria flight 283 is Roy and Lilina, Marth and Sheeda, Mario and Luigi, Pikachu and Pichu, and Link and Zelda, who will arrive 30 minutes earlier than the other teams. All the other teams are on the Mushroom flight 398. Once they reach Hyrule Market, they must locate the Nayru Fountain, where they will receive their next clue. Ok, where's my chocolate..."
Mario and Luigi
Brothers
Currently in 1st place
"Taxi! Taxi!" Soon after, a carriage with a yellow checkerboard canopy slowed down, letting them get on. "To-a the Hyrule-a Market!"
Sometime later, they had reached the drawbridge to the castle. However,...
"Closed?"
"Oh-a, crap. There goes our-a lead." Luigi had removed their luggage. At this point, all the other teams showed up, all with the same reaction. Sensing there was nothing to do; they decided to sleep outside the gate.
The next morning...
"Everyone's nervous." Yoshi replied. "We're all at square one, and this is already at the wire. YO, HURRY UP, GUARD, SHIT!" Yoshi had tossed an egg at the guard, causing him to fall off the tower. "Oops..."
"Nice going, Yoshi." Link took this time to shoot the ropes, sending the drawbridge crashing down. Smiling at his aim, he was greeted by angry stares from all the Smashers. "What?"
"You could shoot down the ropes on the drawbridge?" Bowser asked through gritted teeth. While everyone was mauling Link, Pikachu and Pichu noticed the clue box. Sneaking over to the fountain, they grabbed the clue, but not before taking a picture of the fountain. "Let's see... 'Take a carriage to Lake Hylia...'"
Nintendo Nut1 replied, "Teams must now use a carriage to go to the beaches of Lake Hylia. Once there, teams must search three different piles of sand to locate plane tickets
for their next destination: Clock Town, Termina. Once a team has grabbed a set of tickets, they may not search anymore."
Pikachu and Pichu

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" With that, they called a taxi and rode off.
Link and Zelda
Currently in 2nd place
"Whew...finally escaped." Link was all torn up, to say the least. He and Zelda grabbed the clue, called a taxi, and made a break for it. Just in time, too, because several teams stampeded the clue box just seconds after.
Fox and Falco
Workmates
Currently in 3rd place
"Ha-ha! Eat our righteous dust!" Falco bit his thumb at the teams left behind, and they were mad as hell.
"Falco..." Fox's jaw jumped. "I don't think that was a good idea..."
"It's ok, we can...hey! We passed Link and Zelda!" Falco screeched. "We're in second! We're nigh invin-what the hell..."
Popo and Nana
Siblings
Currently in 2nd place
"I love ice." Popo had frozen the area in front of their carriage, causing Fox and Falco's carriage to get stuck in the ice and Link and Zelda's to crash. Furthermore, the ice had numbed the gate so much they literally plowed through it when they came.
"Wow, brother, that's cool!" Nana laughed.
Young Link and Dr. Mario
Friends
Currently in 3rd place
"Hahaha, you all are last and we're not!" Young Link hollered in a singsong voice.
"Shut-a up while-a we're ahead." Dr. Mario scolded.
"Sorry."
And by some extraordinary fluke, Fox and Falco reach the beaches first!
Fox and Falco
Currently in 1st place
"Sweet!" Fox was jumping around, but he stopped and asked, "Now what?"
"I think we're supposed to dig." Falco was checking the times scrawled onto the dunes. "6, 6:30, and 7. We're getting the 6." Unearthing a set of tickets, they ran over to nearby hut and relaxed. Good thing, too, because Bowser and Ganondorf charged through, leveling all in their way. "Yo, Bowser, that must be the sand dunes!" Ganondorf shouted pointed towards the dunes.
"Hey, I got a 6:30 ticket! We the bomb!" Bowser shouted, unearthing another plane ticket.
"You did know there was one for 6, right?" Falco shouted from across the beach.
"Fudgemonkeys...this sucks..."
Yoshi and DK
Currently in 3rd place
"Hey, the beach. I wonder..." DK was cut off by Yoshi.
"We gotta get the tickets first!" Yoshi was looking at the sand piles. "6, 6:30, 7. What to do..."
"Oh, geez..." DK smacked the 6 sandpile, sending 3 tickets all over the area nearby. DK grabbed one of the tickets, then ran off to get a banana smoothie.
Link and Zelda
Currently in 4th place
"Hey, there's a ticket!" Link grabbed it from the sand. 'Nuff said.
Roy and Lilina
Currently in 5th place
"Roy! Grab the ticket!" Roy pulled the final 6 o'clock ticket from the sand.
Marth and Sheeda
Currently in 6th place
"Well, hmm...there's 6:30 and 7." Marth replied. "Where's the 6, though?"
"They probably took the 6." Sheeda replied, pointing to the other teams.
"Oh well..." Marth grabbed a 6:30 ticket from the dune and ran off to the cabana.
Kirby and Jigglypuff
Dating On/Off
Currently in 7th place
"So, where's the ticket?" Kirby asked.
"Did you search the sand dunes?" Jigglypuff asked Kirby.
"No..." Kirby unearthed another 6:30 ticket and ran to the cabana.
Popo and Nana
Currently in 8th place
"Crap..." Popo unearthed a 6:30 ticket and collapsed on the spot.
Peach and Samus
Friends
Currently in 9th place
"Seriously, why does this happen to us?" Peach screamed, her dress covered in mud. "Hyrule stinks! I wanna go home!" This outburst earned her several glares from Link, Zelda and Ganondorf.
"SHUT UP!" Samus dug out another 6:30 ticket from the sand pile. "Better 9th than last!"
Young Link and Dr. Mario
Friends
Currently in 10th place
"There's a sand dune!" Young Link yelled. "I'll get the ticket, OK?"
"Just don't do something crazy..."
Young Link was already at the sand pile. "I don't feel like digging...aha!" He dropped a bomb next to the sand pile. It exploded and sent a geyser of dirt all over the beach and nailed everyone in the cabana. This also sent two packs of airline tickets into the air, and Young Link grabbed one of them. "Yay!"
"He's-a crazy..." Dr. Mario shook his head in wonder and disbelief.
"EW! I HAVE SAND ALL OVER MY DRESS! WAH!" Peach was screaming bloody murder because of the sand torrent earlier. Everyone else shook it off and watched Peach scream at the top of her lungs before Kirby KO'ed her with his hammer, earning him the praise of the other teams.
Ness and Mewtwo
Fellow Psychics
Currently in 10th place
"If we foresaw their defeat, why are we in 10th?" Mewtwo muttered to himself.
"I have no idea. Let's just grab a ticket and go!" Ness used telekinesis to obtain the final 6:30 ticket, leaving everyone else with the 7 tickets.
Nintendo Nut1 bellowed, "All 14 teams are now on flights to Clock Town, each of them landing 30 minutes apart. The first flight, leaving at 6, has Roy and Lilina, Link and Zelda, and Fox and Falco. The second flight, leaving at 6:30, has Bowser and Ganondorf, DK and Yoshi, Marth and Sheeda, Kirby and Jigglypuff, Popo and Nana, Young Link and Dr. Mario, Peach and Samus, and Ness and Mewtwo. The third flight, leaving at 7, has Mario and Luigi, Captain Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch, and Pikachu and Pichu. Once they reach Clock Town, the teams must ascend the Clock Tower and reach the roof, where they will find their next clue." She left, but not before whispering, "Yes...Captain Falcon is last...burn in hell..."
Clock Town: Termina International Airport
Flight #1: Hoenn 144 from Hyrule
Roy and Lilina
Currently in 1st place
"Here's the tower." Roy remarked. "Wow...it's pretty tall..."
"You go first, Roy." Lilina replied.
"Why?"
Lilina squeaked, "I don't want you looking up my skirt!" She then pushed him into the tower and up the steps, Roy spluttering protests and blushing furiously. Roy then ran up the steps to the roof and read the clue. "It's a Road Block. Hoo boy... 'Who's ready to have a high-flying adventure?'"
Nintendo Nut1 explained, "This is a Road Block. A Road Block is a task that only one person may perform, and a person cannot perform more than six road blocks in the entire race, lest they burn in hell. JUST KIDDING! HAHAHAHAHAHA...anyway, in this Road Block, one person has to go to the observation deck of the Clock Tower and ride ziplines across Clock Town until they reach the east gate. Once they complete the task, the guard will give them the next clue."
"Hmm...I'll do it." Lilina ran down to the observation deck.
"Are you sure?"
"Hey, I can't let you have all the fun..." Lilina looked to see several ziplines strung over Clock Town in every which way. "Holy crap...this'll be harder than I thought..."
Fox and Falco
Currently in 2nd place
"Ziplines, huh? No prob, I'll do it." Falco geared up and rushed through the ziplines, hardly breaking a sweat. He rushed through the city and reached the guard, who handed them the next clue. "Thanks." Behind him was Lilina, who was screaming, who crashed into a bush.
"Oh boy..." Fox muttered. "'Travel by foot to Romani's Ranch...'"
Nintendo Nut1 replied, "Teams must travel by foot to Romani's Ranch and the end of this path. Once there, they must find the corral to receive their next clue."
Fox sighed. With Roy and Lilina hot on their heels, Fox and Falco sprinted in the direction of the ranch.
Link and Zelda
Currently in 3rd place
"Road Block... I'll do it." Link ran down to the observation deck and crossed the ziplines faster than the readers finishing this paragraph. "Romani's Ranch...come on, Zelda."
Clock Town: Termina International Airport

Bowser and Ganondorf
Currently in 5th place
"Dammit, Bowser, why didn't you check the times! Of all the accursed-" Ganondorf said a flurry of cuss words that I would rather not mention right now.
"Shut up. That's all you do, talk talk talk talk talk. Just get the clue already, you twit." Bowser replied. He turned to the computer screen and remarked, "Hey, readers, he is a good friend, but sometimes I have an overwhelming urge to slap him. Is that so wrong?"
After reading the clue, he remarked, "You do it. I'm too heavy to fly."
"Whatever..."
Marth and Sheeda
Currently in 6th place
"Well, well." Marth was looking over Clock Town while riding the ziplines. "This is fun!"
Ness and Mewtwo
Currently in 5th place
"That was too easy..." Ness remarked, reading the clue. "A footrace, huh? We're on!"
"Hmm...let us warp." They went from 5th to 1st in an instant. "That was too easy..." He got the clue and read. "Detour-Rope A Mare or Rope A Basket."
Nintendo Nut1 explained, "A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this detour, teams must choose between Rope A Mare or Rope A Basket. In Rope A Mare, teams must lasso a young horse and bring it to the stables. This task is not physically demanding, but the stubbornness of the horse could make it a time consumer. In Rope A Basket, teams must carry a 45 pound basket of alfalfa to Clock Town using a rope 3 feet long over a distance of 2 miles to the Fresh Crop Market. The task is physically demanding, but teams with strength, speed and stamina will finish quickly."
"What do you think?" Ness asked.
"Let's rope that basket. We can warp to Termina..." Mewtwo reasoned.
"OK!"
Fox and Falco
Currently in 2nd place
"Hmm...Detour. Which one?" Fox asked.
"Let's check our stats...strength is 3/5, speed is 4/5, and stamina is 3/5. Let's get that basket." Falco reasoned.
"Whatever suits you..." Fox and Falco found the baskets and roped them around their backs, running off to the town.
Clock Town: Termina International Airport
Flight #3: Rogueport 321 from Hyrule
Pikachu and Pichu
Currently in 12th place
"Road Block...I'll do it." Blasting through the ziplines and the path, Pikachu led Pichu and they went from 12th to 6th, worming their way to the clue box. "Detour, huh? Rope A Mare." Pichu replied as they ran to the corral.
Ness and Mewtwo
Currently in 1st place
"That was easy." Mewtwo remarked as the store clerk gave them the clue. "This'll be cake. 'Make your way to the Pit Stop, the Makiva Tower...'"
Nintendo Nut1 replied, "Teams must now go to the Pit Stop: the Makiva Tower. Named one of the tallest buildings in Nintendo, this building, graced with eight buttresses and known as the 'Watchman of Termina,' is the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in will burn. JUST KIDDING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Actually, they'll be eliminated. So hop to it!"
"She can't be serious..." Ness hopped out of the stable, as Mewtwo sighed and followed after him.
Link and Zelda
Currently in 3rd place
"This is easy!" Using Epona's Song to calm the mare, it obediently followed Link into the stables, where the stableman gave them the clue.
"Hmm, the Makiva Tower, huh? I know where it is." Link muttered.
"So let's go!" Zelda replied, running after Link.
Fox and Falco
Currently in 2nd place
"Hey, do you know where the Makiva Tower is?" Fox asked a local villager.
"Take T-Car."
"Um...okay...thanks..." Falco dragged Fox out of the way and wondered, "What's a T-Car?" A villager overheard and told them, "It's her way of saying a taxi."
"...that makes things a hell of a lot easier..."
Captain Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch
Currently in Last Place
'Nuff said.
Meanwhile, at the Makiva Tower...
"So, are you ready to present?" Nintendo Nut1 asked the person next to her. He was a stout old gentleman, with a hair and beard as white as snow, and royalty garb upon him. He also had a red hulking coat upon him, and a crown was perched on his head.
"I am ready." He replied.
"Good. Here's a team now." Nintendo Nut1 pointed out. Link and Zelda ran up to them, and Zelda cried out in shock. "D-dad!"
"By Din's Fire...it's His Majesty!" Link stood agape.
"Well, it's good to see you both again." The king replied.
"Same here." After exchanging pleasantries, they stepped onto the world map in front of Nintendo Nut1.
"Link and Zelda...you are team number...1!"
"YAY!"
"I have some good news. As the winners of this leg of the race, you win a trip to beautiful Sapphire Island, which you can enjoy after the race. Also, you receive this!" She handed them both a green box decorated with a Triforce symbol.
"What is it?" Zelda asked.
"Open it to find out!" Tearing open the box, they pulled out various items, like a Makiva Tower miniature, a Hyrule King figurine, maps, clothes, and stuff. Link also drew a silver sword from his box, while Zelda unearthed a spell book from hers. "Hey, this is cool...but what is it?"
"It's a souvenir set! When you clear a leg in the Amazing Race, you receive a souvenir set from that land, with neato items and cool new weapons!" Nintendo Nut1's eyes were glowing when she said this.
"Awesome!" At this point, Fox and Falco ran up to them, out of breath and gasping.
"Welcome to Makiva, Termina!" the Hyrule King bellowed.
"Thanks." Fox and Falco shook hands with him.
"Fox and Falco, you are team number 2!" Nintendo Nut1 handed them a green box, and they were satisfied with the many oddities inside it. Fox and Falco freaked when they noticed a Hylian blaster among the goodies, and started brandishing them in joy. Next was Pikachu and Pichu, Marth and Sheeda, Ness and Mewtwo, Roy and Lilina, Mario and Luigi, Yoshi and DK, Bowser and Ganondorf, Young Link and Dr. Mario, Peach and Samus, and Popo and Nana, in that order.
The final two teams, Captain Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch, and Kirby and Jigglypuff, who were rushing to the Pit Stop.
"We're gonna get there first!" Captain Falcon hollered.
"No way, we're gonna get there first!" Kirby squealed.
Kirby and Jigglypuff, who were fleeter of foot, reached the Pit Stop first.
"Kirby and Jigglypuff, you are team number 13. Captain Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch, you are the last team to arrive. I'm glad to say that you're eliminated." Nintendo Nut1 handed them both a souvenir set and sent Capt. Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch home, cheering all the while.
"Man, I guess we were overconfident, and I hate being sent home, but I guess this wasn;t our day." Captain Falcon remarked.
