...ahem...sorry about that.
YAY! SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE BY TONY HAWK! WOOT!
Backstage...
"Let's see...we're going to Corneria? YAYNESS!" Nintendo Nut1 squealed as she ran around the studio, firing a Starfox Gatling gun at everything in sight.
"Whoa! Hey, watch it!" a male voice yelled. Nintendo Nut1 stopped shooting and saw a 16-year-old boy with short, red hair and shining green eyes filled with excitement. He wore a red Hylian tunic and blue jeans, and a gold hat not unlike Ash's hat (the new hat he's wearing in the Pokèmon: Advanced Challenge TV series) was perched on his crimson locks. Nintendo Nut1 also noticed that there were also blue, transparent angel wings on his back (see the Tales of Symphonia game for details). "Hey, Nintendo Nut, how's it been?" the boy replied, a brilliant smirk reaching across his features.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I am LegoMan727 on the website, and I shall be the co-host for the chapter. Come now, Nintendo Nut, let's away." With that, Nintendo Nut1 and LegoMan727 ran off onto the set of the Amazing Race, ready for all that came at them.
"This is Alto Mare, the city in which the Pokèmon Heroes movie was filmed. And this is the Museo Correr, a huge and beautiful museum in which the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare resides and where the central part of the action took place in the movie." Nintendo Nut1 squeaked through a chocolate bar.
"This wondrous museum was the 4th Pit Stop in a race around Nintendo. Teams who checked in last leg have a mandatory rest period where they can eat, sleep, and mingle with the other teams. The teams have no idea what's going to happen, so they must only use the clues provided to reach their next destination. Pikachu and Pichu, who arrived at 11:30 pm, will depart at 11:30 am." LegoMan727 replied. "GO, PIKACHU! YOU DA BOMB!"
Pikachu and Pichu
1st to depart, 11:30 am
Location: Outside Museo Correr, Alto Mare
"Let's see..." Pichu read the clue. "'Take a ferry back to the Hoenn Region mainland and drive back to Petalburg City via marked cars. Then make your way to the Hoenn International Airport and board one of only 4 flights into the city of Corneria...'"
"Teams must now take a ferry back to the Hoenn Region and drive to the Hoenn International Airport in Petalburg City. Once there, teams can board one of four flights that will fly to the city of Corneria, which serves as the main capital city for all of Nintendo." Nintendo Nut1 said. "Once in Corneria, teams must locate the Interstellar Communications building to receive their next clue. YAY! STARFOX!" Nintendo Nut1, as insane as ever, proceeded to pull out a gatling gun from behind her and shot at everything in sight as bullet holes riddled the set, the lighting, the camera, everything she could aim at.
"Damn, watch it!" LegoMan727 ducked beneath the shower of bullets, his patience deteriorating somewhat.
"Well, let's go, and be careful; the island is still in several hundred pieces..." Pichu replied, hopping from cracked slab to cracked slab as several pillars and stones from the ruined buildings slowly slid into the ocean and the nearby canals, sending sprays of water into the air.
"Man, this place is still in ruins..." Pikachu commented.
Roy and Lilina
2nd to depart, 11:37 am
Location: Outside Museo Correr, Alto Mare
"So, are we ready to go?" Roy asked Lilina.
"As ready as I'll ever be!"
"Good. 'Take a ferry back to the Hoenn Region mainland...drive to Petalburg...board one of only 4 flights to Corneria...'"
"I'm not sure about how safe it is, crossing this shattered island..." Lilina said, staring at the various slabs of rock, concrete and tile floating lazily throughout the watery expanse before them.
"Here. I don't want you to twist your foot or anything..." Before Lilina could protest, Roy had scooped the azure-haired mage up in his arms and started island-hopping through the ruins, jumping to and from the rock pieces. Lilina was blushing furiously and started to wonder, "Oh, my...is it possible that Roy likes me more than a friend? It's probably my imagination...' Stopping at the other end of the gully, near the Il Forte Gelato Ice Cream Parlor, Lilina thanked Roy, stammering it out, and followed Roy to the ferry station, her face as red as a beet. "Thanks, Roy...tee hee..."
Link and Zelda
3rd to depart, 11:38 am
Location: Outside Museo Correr
"I should hope that the people will be able to get this mess fixed up soon..." Zelda replied as she languidly glanced over the clue.
"Indeed." Link agreed as they hopped, teleported, and in some cases, swam to the other side of the canal towards the ferry station.
Ness and Mewtwo
4th to depart, 11:39 am
Location: Outside Museo Correr
"You enjoyed that kiss, didn't you?" Ness belted out, referring to the night before when Zephyr Analea kissed him on the cheek.
"I will admit, it was a rather...enlightening experience, to say the least..." Mewtwo coolly remarked, rubbing the area Zephyr Analea had kissed. "But enough on that. We should go to the ferry station." Mewtwo changed the subject, using his telepathic powers to once again read the clue. With that, they had teleported to the other side of the canal before hovering over to the ferry station.
Mario and Luigi
5th to depart, 11:40 am
Location: Outside Museo Correr
"Oh-a, my god-a, this-a was fun-a." Mario replied, reading the clue.
"Corneria? Why-a there, of-a all places..." Luigi remarked, hopping across to the ferry station.
Alto Mare Ferry Station
Pikachu and Pichu
Currently in 1st place
"Man, I'm bored..." Pichu said as Pikachu was bargaining with the Whiscash that ran the station, and got absolutely nowhere with it. "Hey, Pikachu, did ya get the tickets yet?"
"Obviously not!" Pikachu snapped as he tried to be nice with the Whiscash, who stuck his tongue out at him. "Oh, that tears it!"
"Need some help?" Lilina asked as she and Roy waltzed into the station. She then pulled out a Fire tome and used it on Whiscash. The Pokèmon caught fire, screamed bloody murder, and spluttered over to the pool. "Ha-ha!"
"Hey, what'd we miss?" Link asked, he and Zelda walking in as Whiscash flopped out. "And what smells like smoke?"
"Lilina set the station master on fire..." Roy said. "Its times like this that I wouldn't want to make her mad."
"WHAT WAS THAT!"
"AUGH! Don't hurt me!" Roy screamed as Lilina started yelling obscenities and kicked over a trashcan, cursing all the while.
"Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today..." Mewtwo observed as he and Ness walked in on Lilina getting ready to punch Roy.
"Oh,...yeep!" Lilina squeaked as she quickly put her fist down. Roy sighed in relief as she remarked, "Don't do that!"
"She's just as hotheaded as her father, Lord Hector..." Roy quipped.
"Oh, shut up..." Lilina muttered as she readied her fist to dock Roy in the jaw. He swallowed nervously, and backed off from her to avoid her wrath.
"Ay ay ay...man-a, Roy, what-a did you-a do to piss her-a off?" Mario asked as he and Luigi walked in.
"I-a predict a rocky-a marriage..." Luigi said. This reached both Roy and Lilina's ears, however, and they instantly became red at the thought.
"SHUT UP!"
Fox and Falco
6th to depart, 11:41 am
Location: Outside Museo Correr
"Let's go." Making their way to the ferry station, Fox and Falco jumped across the rocks, taking care not to slip and fall.
Marth and Sheeda
7th to depart, 11:42 am
Location: Outside Museo Correr
"Ready to go?" Marth and Sheeda then jumped over several boulders in the canal and safely made it to the station.
Yoshi and DK
8th to depart, 11:43 am
Location: The Ferry Station, Alto Mare
"Hi!" Yoshi squeaked as he and DK walked into the station.
"And then there were 8..." Marth said as he was sitting in one of the couches scattered around the building.
"Man, Lilina, what'd you do to the Whiscash!" Pikachu vexed. "Where the hell is he?"
"At this point, your guess is as good as mine..." Lilina said. "I hope the last two teams don't come in, though..."
One hour later
"Stupid Whiscash..." Pikachu remarked as the Whiscash, black, burned and covered in soot, came in with 10 pairs of ferry tickets. "This sucks..."
"All the teams are on the same ferry and the same flight to Corneria, by some weird fluke of coincidence." LegoMan727 replied. "Once there, teams must locate the Interstellar Connections building on the east side of town to locate the next clue. I hope Pikachu wins the race..."
Corneria, Corneria City International
Mute City 101 from Petalburg City
Fox and Falco
Currently in 1st place
Location: Track Avenue, Corneria City
"There's the building!" Fox pointed eloquently to a grey building with a huge satellite dish on the roof. The driver stopped, and they made their way to the front where he saw the clue.
"Get it already, Fox! We have bogeys on our tail!" Falco exasperated, motioning towards the mob of taxicabs behind them.
"I know, I know! I gotta read the clue first!" Tearing open the clue, Fox read, "'Go to the Craddock Terminal on the connecting freeways above...'"
"Teams must now go to the Craddock Terminal above them on the freeways and locate the clue hanging off the roof of the terminal." Nintendo Nut1 said. "YAY! STARFOX!"
"Oh my..." LegoMan727 replied. "I hope you don't do something crazy..."
"Let's go." Falco replied as they boarded the freeway ahead of them, the other teams swarming the clue box behind them.
Roy and Lilina
Currently in 2nd place
Location: Fairview Parkway en route to the Craddock Terminal, Corneria City
"This is fun." Lilina replied, snuggling up beside Roy. "Thanks for taking me on the Race with you."
"Hey, it's okay..." Roy replied, holding her close. "It would have been not as fun if you didn't come along. Besides, I'm also glad you came to the tournament."
"Really?"
"You've gotten stronger since I last saw you. Hell, you froze my arm for a week when you misfired that Fimbulvetr spell..." Roy mused.
"Hey! That was mean..." Lilina started crying.
"Wait, I'm sorry...don't cry, Lilina, sad does not work for you..." Roy said, brushing tears out of her eyes.
"Thank you..." She was about to lean in and give him a quick peck on the cheek when the car swerved suddenly, smashing them into the side of the taxi. "Yow! What the hell..." Several minutes later, she heard an explosion and looked outside to see that that had taken out a good chunk of the freeway.
"Holy shit, that could have been us!" Roy screeched. "Where the hell did that come from..." He languidly glanced out the window and saw Pikachu and Pichu several cars back carrying what looked like a Starfox Homing Launcher. "Pikachu and Pichu tried to blast us with a bazooka!"
"What!" Lilina was shocked by their change in behavior. "That's no way to treat a lady! Eat this!" She pulled a Starfox sensor bomb out of her satchel and dropped it on the freeway, watching as the explosion took out the freeway behind them, nearing destroying Ness and Mewtwo's taxi.
"What the fuck!" Ness yelled.
"Have at thee, cowards!" Mewtwo yelled as he grabbed a Starfox machine gun out from under the seat and fired at Roy and Lilina. It misfired, however, and struck Marth and Sheeda's taxi, leaving bulletholes on the windshield.
"EEEK!" Sheeda squealed.
"That tears it!" Marth revealed a Starfox sniper rifle from under his seat and aimed at what he thought was Ness and Mewtwo's taxi, but when he fired, he shattered the window and revealed the familiar blonde locks of Princess Zelda. "Oops..."
"Hey! Take this!" Zelda retorted as she removed a grenade from her satchel and tossed it at Marth and Sheeda. This exploded and caused Mario and Luigi to almost fly off the highway.
"Mama Fancoolo! Let's-a go!" Mario yelled as he fired a blaster at them. It misfired right into Dr. Mario and Young Link's windshield, however, and the taxi flew off the highway and smashed into the tall Corneria Tower, sending metal, glass and wood raining upon the city below. This soon erupted into an all-out war between the 8 teams, firing, blasting and exploding the other teams and destroying the freeway and damaging some nearby buildings.
"This sucks..." Young Link said as he and Dr. Mario stepped out of the taxi and onto the floor of the Corneria Tower.
"Indeed..."
Fox and Falco
Currently in 1st place
Location: The Craddock Terminal, Corneria City
"Here we are." Fox said as he removed the clue from the mobile hanging outside the terminal. "This is pretty fun, actually."
"Let me see the clue, though." Falco said as he ripped open the clue and read it. "'Detour. Shred It or Count It...'"
"A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams must choose between Shred It or Count It." LegoMan727 said. "Hey, wait, where's Nintendo Nut1?"
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" she squealed. LegoMan727 turned toward the source, and God forbid, Nintendo Nut1 somehow managed to hijack a LandMaster Tank and was now blasting all in her way, whether it be cars, buildings, or studio equipment.
"What the FUCK!" LegoMan 727 screamed. "GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE, YOU CRAZY DAME!"
"Oh, sure, I never get any fun..." Nintendo Nut1 replied, jumping out of the tank and landing next to LegoMan727. "Anyway, in Shred It, teams must drive 1.4 miles to the Intergalactic Skate Park, where the infamous Tony Hawk is waiting. Once there, teams must mirror exactly the tricks Hawk performs. If they successfully complete this game of 'Simon Says', Tony Hawk will give them their next clue. This task is physically demanding, but teams with some mad shreddage can finish quickly."
"In Count It, teams must make their way 0.8 miles to the Speeding Comet Toys building in the eastern part of town." LegoMan727 continued. "Once teams reach the toy department, they must do an inventory check of 3 crates in which they count bouncy balls, action figures and toy Arwings. Once they get the correct number of items, which is 2431, the overseer will give them the next clue."
"What do you think?" Fox asked Falco
"Anyone want to tear it up at the Skate Park?" Falco answered.
"Then it's decided. We go to the skat-oh, my." Fox took notice of the explosions on the highway behind them, and he said, "Let's split." They hopped back into their taxi and drove off before the other teams could catch up.
Roy and Lilina
Currently in 2nd place
Location: The Craddock Terminal
"Whoa, Tony Hawk's here!" Lilina squealed.
"Man, he's pretty cool at the skateboard. Let's go!" Roy shouted, directing their sights to the skate park.
Ness and Mewtwo
Currently in 3rd place
Location: The Craddock Terminal
"I say we should Count It. We can use our psychic powers to get the total number of items from the workers..." Ness implied.
"Indeed." Mewtwo finished, he and Ness teleporting to the Speeding Comet Toys.
Link and Zelda
Currently in 4th place
Location: The Craddock Terminal
"Tony Hawk!" Link spluttered. "Hell, we're there!" They directed their sight to the skate park.
Marth and Sheeda
Currently in 5th place
Location: The Craddock Terminal
"I would imagine it easier to count than to shred..." Sheeda asked.
"Fine, we'll count." Marth replied, going over to the Speeding Comet Toys.
The Intergalactic Skate Park
"Well, welcome to the Intergalactic Skate Park!" Tony Hawk said as Fox and Falco, Roy, and Lilina, Link and Zelda, Mario and Luigi, and Pikachu and Pichu lined up at the skate rink with skateboards and the like with them. "As you already know, I am here for the Amazing Race. If you successfully copy the skate moves I perform, I will give you the next clue. Because you are all probably beginners, I'll take it easy on you all."
"I hope we're not in over our heads..." Roy said.
"Don't worry, this'll be easy..." Fox answered. When Hawk started the routine, however, several people fell off their skateboards before they reached the first rail, leaving Roy, Link, Lilina, Fox, Falco, and Zelda still on their skateboards.
"This'll be harder than I thought..." Hawk sweatdropped.
Speeding Comet Toys
At the other facility, things weren't much better for Marth and Sheeda, Ness and Mewtwo, Young Link and Dr. Mario, Peach and Samus, and Yoshi and DK. They kept miscounting because the bouncy balls were flying all over the place and literally bouncing off the walls.
"Holy bejeezus! Stop already!" Ness yelled as several bouncy balls bounced away from him.
"This crap is not cool..." Peach screamed. "EEEEK! THE BOUNCY BALL MESSED UP MY HAIR!"
"Oh, shut it, no one cares about the hair!" DK retorted.
"Ay ay ay...this'll be a while..." Sheeda remarked.
Intergalactic Skate Park
"Whee! This is fun!" Lilina replied as she successfully grinded one of the rails.
"I know!" Link replied, doing an ollie.
"Good! You're getting it!" Hawk replied. "The final move is a kickflip."
"This'll be cake." Falco said, performing a 180.
"Good! That's the way! So I need to get...three clues." Tony Hawk replied, digging through a backpack where he kept his skate gear. He then produced three yellow envelopes from his pack and handed them to the teams. "Here you go..."
"Thanks." Roy replied, skimming through the clue. "'Travel to the Drummond Testing Range...'"
"YAY! TONY HAWK!" Nintendo Nut1 cheered. "...oops...anyway, teams must go to the Drummond Testing Range near the Persimmons building to receive the next clue. YAY, STARFOX!" she screamed, grabbing another gatling gun and shooting everything in sight again.
"Well, let's go to this testing range!" Roy announced before grabbing a taxi and riding off to the range.
Speeding Comet Toys
"Marth, I think I got something!" Sheeda said. She then leaned towards Marth's ear and whispered, "I got the number 2431."
"Well, okay..." Marth replied, not sounding optimistic. "But we've already tried 10 different numbers..." He then walked over to the overseer, who had a lit one in his mouth.
"Say, is the amount of items 2431?"
"'Ere." The overseer handed over a familiar yellow envelope to Marth, who eagerly snatched it up.
"Hey, Sheeda! I got the clue!"
"YAY!" Reading the clue, they thus made their way to the testing range.
Fox and Falco
Currently in 1st place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range, Corneria City
"Where's the clue?" Falco asked Fox, who was glancing around the testing grounds.
"I think that's it next to the control tower." Fox pointed to the metal building and saw the familiar green box strapped to the side of the tower. They opened up the box and tore open the clue. Falco smirked a little bit when he read the clue: "Road Block. 'Who's ready for a high-flying adventure?'"
"A Road Block is a task only one person may perform, and no person can perform more than six of them in the entire race." LegoMan727 explained. "In this Road Block, that person must pilot an Arwing through a marked course that runs through the testing range and Corneria City. Once they have successfully completed the course, the flight instructor will give the person the next clue."
"I'll do this." Falco remarked, slicking his feathers back and a smirk forming on his face. "It's been too long, anyway."
"I thought you'd say that..." Fox added.
Roy and Lilina
Currently in 2nd place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"Whoa, who'll fly the Arwing?" Lilina asked.
"I guess I'll do it," Roy answered, hoisting himself into the cockpit.
"Good luck!"
Pikachu and Pichu
Currently in 3rd place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"I don't know if I can fly an Arwing..." Pikachu replied.
"Then I'll do it." Pichu responded. "I hope I don't crash, though."
"I should hope not..."
Link and Zelda
Currently in 4th place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"I'll take care of this." Link replied, climbing into an Arwing. "How I'll do it I don't know..."
"Be careful..." Zelda warned.
Marth and Sheeda
Currently in 5th place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"Ay ay ay, so how does one pilot an Arwing...?" Sheeda asked, getting completely confused with the many dials, levers and buttons scattered around the cockpit. "Help..."
Ness and Mewtwo
Currently in 6th place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"This'll be cake." Mewtwo replied, using his psychic powers to fly the Arwing. "I can already taste first place."
"Don't get too overconfident..." Ness screamed to Mewtwo.
Yoshi and DK
Currently in 7th place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"This is fun!" Yoshi squeaked as he steered the Arwing through the course, plowing down any obstacles in his way and smashing into the other Arwings.
"Hey, watch it!" Roy yelled, shaking a fist at Yoshi. "Are you trying to make me crash or something?"
"Sorry..."
Fox and Falco
Currently in 1st place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"That was easy." Falco responded as he jumped out of the Arwing and ran a hand through his feathers. "I can do that in my sleep!" He then received the clue from the flight instructor, and he tore it open instantly, reading its contents. "'Make your way to the next Pit Stop, the Ambassador Bridge...'"
"YAY! STARFOX!" Nintendo Nut1 squealed as she ran around shooting everything again with a gatling gun. She stopped and explained, "Teams must make their way to the next Pit Stop, the Ambassador Bridge. Known as one of the tallest bridges in Nintendo, this 700-mile long bridge is the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in will be eliminated."
"The Ambassador Bridge, huh?" Fox lulled as he read the clue. "This'll be fun." With that, they caught a taxi that would take them to the bridge.
Roy and Lilina
Currently in 2nd place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"Thank you." Roy said as he received the clue. "So, Lilina, what did you think?"
"It was pretty good for your first time." Lilina replied as she read the clue. "We have to go somewhere called the Ambassador Bridge."
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Roy asked as they flagged down a taxi and drove off towards the bridge.
Yoshi and DK
Currently in 3rd place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"Yay! We're in third!" Yoshi quipped as he received the clue.
"Maybe because you caused the other Arwings to crash..." DK noted as he spotted several Arwings crashed on the range and in various buildings around Corneria City.
"...oops. Oh well, let's head to this Ambassador Bridge..." Yoshi squeaked as he and DK boarded a taxi to the bridge.
Pikachu and Pichu
Currently in 4th place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"Man, that wasn't cool..." Pikachu muttered, looking and smelling somewhat singed.
"Are you okay?" Pichu asked.
"The damage is mostly psychological..." Pikachu answered. His spirits brightened, however, when he received the clue from the flight instructor. "Well, at least it's the Pit Stop..." Pikachu noted as he and Pichu got a taxi and rushed to the bridge.
Marth and Sheeda
Currently in 5th place
Location: The Drummond Testing Range
"Man, what's with Yoshi, huh?" Sheeda asked as she treated a bloody gash on her arm. "He could've killed us!"
"Well, at least you're alive..." Marth replied, kissing Sheeda on the forehead. "That better?"
"Thanks..." Sheeda replied as she began to read the clue. "The Ambassador Bridge, huh? Shall we?"
"Let's!"
The Ambassador Bridge
"Well, here we are..." LegoMan727 replied at the toll booth of the Ambassador Bridge. "Any sign of them yet?"
"None..." Nintendo Nut1 replied.
"Well, they're not just going to pop up like that," the presenter replied. He was a humanoid hound dog and was wearing a bright red suit that was decorated with several military medals, and a red navy cap was perched on his head. "You thought they were super fast?"
"Sorry, General Pepper." Nintendo Nut1 replied. "But we still have a responsibility to know where they are..."
"Maybe they're moseying over here..." Nintendo Nut1 said.
"Actually, I don't like ant place where they have mosey as a speed." LegoMan727 replied. "It would be really bad if you tried to go to the airport. It's like, 'Let's mosey on over to the airport.', and I'd be like, 'No, man, why don't we hurry the hell up and get to the airport?'" This received laughs from Nintendo Nut1 and a chuckle from General Pepper.
"That's understandable. If I needed to get to the airport, I'd hurry the hell up too..." General Pepper mused.
"Hey, there's a team now!" LegoMan727 replied, pointing to Fox and Falco's taxi. It had pulled up alongside the bridge, and Fox and Falco stumbled out with their luggage and their passports in hand.
"Fox and Falco, you are team number one!" Nintendo Nut1 replied. "YAY! STARFOX!"
"That's good...General Pepper!" Fox noticed. "What are you doing here?"
"I was sent to check on your progress in the Amazing Race, and I'm rather impressed that you made it." General Pepper remarked. "As a reward, you get this." General Pepper handed them Souvenir set 5, packed in a grey box with the StarFox insignia stamped on the topside. As Fox and Falco tore open the box, the taxi with Roy and Lilina drove up as they rushed up to the world mat, out of breath.
"Roy and Lilina, you are team number two!" Nintendo Nut1 announced.
"YAY!" Soon after, the taxi with Pikachu and Pichu drove up behind them as they bounded over to the world mat.
"Pikachu and Pichu, you are team number three!" Nintendo Nut1 said.
"YAY! We're still in the race!" Pichu squeaked. "We are da bomb!"
"I am glad." LegoMan727 replied, walking away from them. "Well, I seriously need to write more stories for the pleasure of all those on the website. I need to leave, but we will meet again. Good luck on the race, Pikachu." With that, he grabbed Souvenir Set 4 (see chapter 5 for details) and jumped off the bridge, landing on a motorboat that ran underneath, and he drove the motorboat off.
"Finally, someone that doesn't do a flashy exit. That's good." Yoshi replied, popping up behind them.
"Well, Yoshi and DK, you are team number four." Nintendo Nut1 said.
"YAY!"
The rest of the day was rather uneventful, with Marth and Sheeda, Link and Zelda, Mario and Luigi, Ness and Mewtwo, and Dr. Mario and Young Link coming to the Pit Stop, in that order. That left Peach and Samus in a rather precarious situation.
"I am sorry to tell you that you are the last team to arrive. You are eliminated from the Amazing Race." Nintendo Nut1 handed them Souvenir Set 5 and watched them walk off, crying all the while.
"Man, we just wanted to have a great time, and they were just mean..." Peach sniffled.
"It's okay, we're still good..." Samus comforted.
