Here's another chapter! I hope you like it all. The first one did get quite a few reviews, but to my standard nowadays, that story seems poorly done. However, that story inspired Yoshizilla to make Yoshi Kart, and his story got a whole lot of review. Now that this sequel is in proper story format and more detailed, I hope you appreciate it and review!
Chapter 3: A Ride Through Rough Terrains and a Waterfall! Ahead to the Finish Line!
The effect of the mushroom has ended by the time the Mario Bros. drove into the bumpy terrain. "That-a sure was fast-a!" exclaims Mario.
Luigi looks back and sees Captain Falcon catching up. "But we haven't escape Falcon yet!"
"Don't-a worry! We have a lot-a supa mushroom! We can use eet whenever he catches up-a! Now hold-a on! We are going to drive into da bumpy land!"
Mario steps on the gas pedal hard and they drive in at full speed. When they hit the first bump onto the road, their car fly off the ground a short distance, and then lands with a rough thud. "Ow! My butt hurts!" cries Luigi.
-
CF zooms directly into a large bump on the ground. Since he is driving at such a high speed, it's natural that he would soar up into the sky from the bump. When in the sky, his Blue Falcon did a 360-degree spin several times. "Look at that!" exclaims Talko. "Captain Falcon did the most amazing spin ever seen on Earth! This should be recorded down in history!"
The Blue Falcon falls back to the ground with a powerful slam, and then CF continues driving.
-
Barney drives into the terrain and his Lego Car bounces up and down when it drove into any rocks and bumps. He bounces up and down in his seat and sings happily, "Bumpity bumpity bumpity boing! Boing boing boing!"
"PSI Rocking!"
A colorful orb of light flies in from behind and blasts the Lego Car, sending it high into the sky. "WEEEEE! MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE! I'M FLYING!" exclaims Barney.
"That guy is crazy…" says Ness, who was the one who shot the carefree dinosaur just now.
The Lego Car falls to the ground and shatters into pieces. Barney rolls onto the ground and says, "My car has broken up!"
"So Barney's car is shattered!" reports Talko. "But since he's still in healthy condition, will he continue the race or forfeit? Wait… Something's happening!"
The shattered pieces of the car start moving by themselves; they gather together and once again form a car! "My little cuties have come back! Our bond will never be separated!" says Barney happily. He jumps into the newly formed car and continues driving again.
"Look at that! Barney's car is amazing and mysterious!" exclaims Talko. "It fixed itself! Can you imagine that?"
-
CF has already gone pass the Mario Bros. "He's gone pass us! Now we'll never catch up with him!" cries Luigi.
"Have you forgotten da mushroom?" Mario asks him.
"Oh yeah! Let's use it again!" Luigi stuffs another mushroom into the exhaust pipe and the car bursts ahead at a tremendous speed. "WOW!"
"Hold-a on tight!"
Their car runs into a large bump on the ground and shoots up into the air!
-
Wario and Waluigi are still on top of the mesa. Wario is eating food and Waluigi is on a lookout for the Mario Bros. "Hey! I see them coming this way!" says Waluigi, looking through the binocular.
"Good!" Wario gets up and flexes his muscles. "Let's push down the boulder and crush them!"
"I don't think that would work… They're coming towards us!"
"What do you mean?"
The Mario Bros. car flies straight into the boulder that is prepared for crushing them and smashes right through it. Wario and Waluigi are shocked by this sudden happening that they did not move. The car then moves on and crashes into the both of them, making them roll off the mesa!
"AHHHH!" scream Wario and Waluigi as they plunge towards the ground below.
CRASH!
The Mario Bros. car still soars through the air like a plane. "Wow! We're flying!" exclaims Luigi.
"But not-a for long!" Mario tells him. "We are beginning to fall!" Sure enough, their car slowly descends until it eventually hits the ground, and they continue driving off. However, CF is still way ahead of them.
"Man! We still cannot catch up with Falcon!" says Luigi.
-
Wario and Waluigi get up from the long drop. "Ugh… What was that just now…?" asks Wario painfully.
"It think a car just hit my head…" says Waluigi. Then the remaining racers drive in and run over them one by one.
CRASH!
SPLAT!
-
CF is now in first place and is heading for the second curve, which is hidden by the great waterfall. This path goes under some sort of a half arc, and water is flowing down from above. On one side is the wall of the arc but on one side is a cliff that drops straight down to a lake below. It is a long drop so it can really dangerous.
CF turns his head around and sees the Mario Bros. coming after him. "They can never catch up with me," he says. He steps on the gas pedal and zooms towards to the curve and disappears behind the raging water of the waterfall.
"We must-a catch up-a fast!" says Mario. "Hold-a on tight, Luigi!"
They speed their car forward fast to catch up with CF. As they go near the curve, the road on the left side slowly ends as a cliff. Luigi looks down the edge and trembles at the height of the drop. "Oh… Looking down there give me chills down the spine…"
-
Ness is following from behind. He is ahead of all other racers but behind the other two. In other words, he is in third place at the moment. "Looking good so far," he says to himself. "At least I'm the first three and I get some prize money! I just hope that…" Before he can finish saying, he hears a loud roaring sound of engine. He turns around and gasps at what he saw.
He sees the Motor Tricycle zooming towards him! Several thick smokes are fuming out from behind it and Pokey's eyes are glowing with an angry flare and his hair is shot up wildly. "NESS!" he roars at the top of his voice.
"Oh no! He's caught up with me again!" Ness tries to escape, but Pokey is driving too fast for him. The Motor Tricycle crashes with Ness's bike…
CRASH!
Ness finds himself and his bike on top of the Motor Tricycle! "Whoa!"
"Get off my car!" Pokey shouts at him. "Get off at once!"
"I'm too scared to come down!"
They both argue all the way into the waterfall, where the water covers them from everyone's sight.
-
The Starfox Duo is driving in an awkward path. Because the left wing is damaged, they cannot keep their car balanced; it is driving in a wavy path. "Can't this thing go straight?" asks Falco.
"I told you the left wing is broken, so movement is unbalanced!" Fox tells him.
"Hey! We're catching up with another racer!" Falco speeds the car ahead and meets up with Random Racer No. 45. "Okay, wise guy! You're going down like all others!"
The Racer responds by ramming his car into the Arwing Car. "So you want to fight back?" says Falco. "Then die!" He crashes his car against his.
So the two racers crash at each other back and forth rapidly, all the way until they got near the curve. However, because of the broken wing, the Arwing Car cannot drive properly and is also weaker in strength, so the Racer No. 45 is able to push them off the edge!
"AHHHHH!" scream the two humanoid animals.
"Look! The Starfox Duo is falling off the edge! What will become of them!" gasps Talko.
"NOOOOO!" scream their fellow audience Smashers.
"Don't worry; they're all right," Mewtwo tells them. "I know it, because I foresaw it."
-
"Do something! Fox!" cries Falco. "Or else we're dead!"
"Press that button!" says Fox. "That's our only hope left!"
So Falco presses the button Fox said and a miracle occurred! The Arwing's engine emits a powerful flame that boosts the entire thing into the sky! "We're flying!" exclaims Falco.
"Yes! Now we can fly out of this pit!" says Fox. But the Arwing is flying awkwardly; it cannot be fully controlled.
"Why is it like this!"
"The wing is broken on one side…"
-
Behind the waterfall, the view is heavily reduced by the water splashing around. "I can't see a thing!" cries Luigi. "The water is getting into my eyes! Mario! Don't drive off the edge!"
"Don't-a worry, Luigi," Mario tells him. "I am wearing goggles, so I can still see very well." They slowly drive their car through the waterfall, careful not to fall off the edge. Suddenly, they hear some loud shouting coming from behind. "What-a eez that-a sound?"
CRASH!
The Motor Tricycle crashes in from behind, pushing the Mario Bros. forward very fast.
"WHOA!" cry the brothers.
"ARGH! WHY DOES ALL THESE HAPPEN TO ME!" cries Pokey. He is pushing the Mario Bros. and Ness is on top of his head.
"Now take us to the finish line!" says Ness.
-
CF has drove out of the waterfall first, and he can see the finish line up ahead. "Yes! I'm the first! Now I can win this first race!" He happily drives towards the finish line.
-
The Arwing Car is flying around madly in air, and Falco is unable to control it. "Argh! I can't control is cursing thing!" cries Falco.
"I don't know what to do!" cries Fox. "Don't ask me!"
"Do something!"
Out of nowhere, Kirby, riding on his warp star, flies out of the blue and towards them. "AHHH! OUT OF THE WAY!"
CRASH!
The warp star and the Arwing Car crash together and plummet toward the Earth.
-
CF is getting nearer and nearer to the finish line, and he is getting more and more excited. The Motor Tricycle, along with the other two racers it's carrying along, is furiously catching up! "I must win!" shouts Pokey.
"Is there anyway to get off him!" Luigi asks Mario.
"I don't-a know how!" says Mario.
CF turns around and is rather shocked to see them. "Uh! They're catching up! I won't let them!" He steps on the booster and zooms forward, but Pokey is catching up faster than before!"
"THE WINNER IS ME!" shouts Pokey.
"They're all heading for the finish line!" shouts Talko. "Which of them will get there first?"
The audiences watch anxiously on who the winner will be.
Just when they're about to touch the finish line, Kirby and the Star Fox crash down in front of them and into the finish line! A large explosion occurs when they hit the ground, and the explosion sends the others flying backwards.
KABOOM!
Everyone is shocked at random happening. "What was that!" gasps Talko.
When the smoke from the explosion clears, everyone sees Kirby and the Starfox Duo lying on the ground unconsciously. "Oh… What a rough landing…" mumbles Fox.
"It looks like Kirby and the Starfox made it to the finish line first! But who is the first?" asks Talko. "Let's take a look at the monitor for a slow motion replay."
The monitor shows Kirby and the Starfox Duo dropping towards the finish line. Everyone concentrates on the slow motion scene and sees that the tip of the Arwing Car passes through the finish line first, so in other words…
"It looks like the Starfox Duo won first place!" announces Talko. "Congratulations to them!"
"We won!" exclaims Falco in awe.
"We went through all this hardship, and we did it!" says Fox.
"I got second, and that isn't too bad either!" says Kirby.
Now the other racers who were supposed to get to the finish line first were blast back by the explosion, and their cars are damaged. "Oh… I was supposed to get their first…" says CF. "And I will not lose this opportunity!" He gets up and quickly makes a run for the finish line.
"No! I will!" shouts Pokey. He tries to crawl out from under his tricycle, as it is lying on top of him, but he is stuck. "Somebody get me out!"
When CF is about to touch the finish line, Random Racer No. 45 zooms into the scene and goes pass it before him! CF stops in his tracks and freezes. He is not moving at all.
"So the third place goes to Random Racer No. 45!" announces Talko. "Congratulations! We have three top winners for this race!"
Mario and Luigi crawl out from their ruined car. "Boy… We didn't make-a eet…" says Mario.
"But at least we didn't get last place," says Luigi.
Barney comes driving in his Lego Car. "Hello everyone! Did I win?"
"You're the last one here," Luigi tells him.
"Then I lost?"
"Yeah."
Carlos steps into the scene and announces, "And so the first race of Saturn Valley has ended! Let us see the results!"
The giant monitor switches to another scene that shows the results of the race.

"So these are the results of the race," says Carlos. "As said at the beginning of the race, those who are destroyed or came in last 3 are considered lost."
"I lost! I lost! I did not win! Oh how I want to sing an elegy to mark this sad event!" says Barney.
"But fear not, my friend. Hope is not lost. You see, in order to enter the grand prix finals, you must pass 3 preliminary races, and you must win at least two. Even if you lost once, you still have 2 more chances to win back."
"So I still have a chance! I'm so happy! Now I want to sing a happy song!" Barney skips away singing happily.
Carlos turns to the top 3 winners and says, "Congratulations! You are the top winners of this race! You get money prizes for this!"
"Yeah! I'm the best!" cheers Falco.
"But don't get too happy yet. You still have two more races to win before you can enter the finals."
"Nah, I can handle that! Right, Fox?"
"Yeah…" says Fox.
The rest of the Smashers got down from their places to meet the racers. "You raced well, Mario!" Peach says to the plump plumber.
"But-a I didn't win," says Mario.
"Don't worry! At least you didn't get last place."
"I shouldn't have entered this race in the first place…" groans Luigi. "I feel so sick after all those turns and bumpy rides…"
"By the way, what's wrong with Captain Falcon?" asks Pichu, pointing to CF who is sitting at a corner. His mood is really bad and a dark cloud is above him.
"He's just sad about the fact he didn't get first place," says Samus. "Even though he didn't get last, he still cannot accept the fact that he didn't get first."
Pichu walks to him and comforts him, "Don't worry, Falcon! You can still win back your chance in the next two races!" But CF says nothing. "Uh… Hello?"
-
And so…
"Congratulations to the winners of this race!" says Talko. "Let us hand out the prizes to the winners! First place receives $10,000!"
"Wow! That's a lot!" exclaims Falco as he accepts the prize from a beautiful female hostess.
"And second place receives $5,000!"
"Yay!" cheers Kirby as he gets his money. "I can buy a lot of foods with these!"
"And third place receives $2,500!"
The rest of the Smashers stand at the side, looking at the winners receiving their prizes. "All ended well today," says Zelda. "Nobody is hurt."
"I hope I am in the next race!" says Bowser.
"I can't wait to race too!" says Ganondorf.
Falco, Fox, and Kirby walk to their comrades. "All right! All is over for now! Let's go home!" says Fox.
"I'm so hungry I can eat a horse!" says Kirby.
"Why don't we use these prize moneys to go and eat in a luxurious restaurant? We can celebrate over this!" says Peach.
"YAY!"
CF takes one last look at he almost empty racing course. "I must not lose my next race," he says to himself. "I'm the son of Falcon the First, and I will accomplish what he did not accomplish!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
This chapter did take a while to come, because I had lots of schoolwork and was in a moment's writer's block. How did this race turn out? Perhaps it's not too funny. I tried my best… I hope you enjoy it though. So anyway, review nicely please!
