Okay, so here's the next chapter. I hope you haven't given up hope on this story yet. The beginning races may not be so exciting, but I promise you that the later ones will keep you attracted! It'll become more and more like 'fighting to the finish line'.
To answer Kirbstar's question: The Random Racers are all humans, or at least made of flesh, and they have ambitions too, that's why the join the race. Why would mechanical drones want to join in a race when they don't have ambitions? I call them Random Racers because I'm too lazy to give them good names. And Random Racer No. 45 won third place in chapter 3. Go check it out.
And I should've said this in the previous chapter, but guess who the Green Biker Dude is from.
Hint: From a popular Capcom game, the second game in continuity of the series.
Chapter 8: Mario Bros. Returns! An Exciting Fight For First Place!
"Things don't look very good," says Pichu.
"Yeah, the race is so rough…" says Popo.
"Let's hope that the clown wins!" says Yoshi.
"Yeah! Then we can taste the best ice-cream ever!" agrees Kirby.
"Are you rooting for the devil clown that just made G&W disqualified?" Marth asks them.
"Yes we are!" they both reply. "Got any comments?"
"Why should you be rooting for someone you don't know and someone who destroyed one of our friends?"
"Don't tell me you're a hater of ice-cream!" says Yoshi angrily.
"Yeah! A person like you will never understand the wonders of food!" says Kirby.
"Tsk… You guys…" says Marth.
"I wonder how's Mario and Luigi doing…" says Peach, worried.
"Relax," Bowser tells her. "They can't fall so easily. I know them very well!"

In the subway…
"AHHHH! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" screams Luigi as he stuffs a large amount of mushrooms into the exhaust pipe. "W'RE GONNA DIE!"
"Keep using da mushrooms!" Mario tells him. "Or else-a we won't-a make eet!"
"I'm doing it! I'm doing it!"
Mario speeds the car as fast as he can to escape the train that is right behind them. Things are starting to turn bad as the amounts of mushrooms are running out. "THERE'S ALMOST NO MUSHROOMS!" screams Luigi. "GOD! HELP US! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Luigi's scream is so terrible sounding that the glasses and mirrors on the car shatter into pieces! "Theez won't-a do," says Mario. "When eez da next station?" Just at this moment, Mario sees light ahead. They have arrived at a station! "Aha!"
"AHHHHHHHH!"
When they arrive at the station, the platform to the train-waiting area is visible, and that means the chance of escaping is in sight! "Hold-a on, Luigi!" Mario tells him.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Mario steps on a certain pedal hard, and the car jumps into the air and off the track and directly onto the side of the platform! They barely escape getting hit by the train. "Phew… Made-a eet…"
"AHHHHHHHH!"
"You can stop-a screaming now."
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
He just won't stop screaming…
-
The Wario Bros. is behind CF and Samus, who are both in lead. "Argh! Will we ever catch up with those two?" asks Wario.
Then Frank catches up behind them. He pulls out a knife and throws it at them, and it cuts Waluigi's across the shoulder. "AHHHH! SOMEONE CUT ME!"
"Ha! Gotcha!" laughs Frank.
"How dare you!" Waluigi pulls out a bazooka and fires a boxing glove out of it. The glove hits Frank square in the face and sends him flying backwards out of his shark car. He tumbles onto the side of the street and passes out as his car moves on unmanned.
"You deserve it! Hahahahaha!" laughs Waluigi.
"Good going! Destroy anyone who comes near us!" Wario tells him.
-
Sweet Tooth, DK, and Roy are a good distance behind the Wario Bros. DK slams the side of his car against Sweet Tooth's ice cream truck. "Take that! This is for Game!"
"How dare you!" says Sweet Tooth angrily. "Take this!" He presses a button on the controls and the side of the truck opens, revealing guns. DK quickly slows down and goes behind the truck to avoid the gunshots.
"Hey! Your opponent isn't only him!" Roy shouts to Sweet Tooth. He pulls out his sword (he has is with him the whole time) and slashes the front wheel.
POP!
The wheel bursts open and the truck's movement becomes awkward. "Argh! What do you think you're doing!" says Sweet Tooth angrily. "You're pay!"
DK, who is behind the truck, drives forward and delivers a powerful punch against the back of the truck, creating a dent on it.
"Grrrr! That monkey is trying to mess with me!" growls Sweet Tooth. "I'll see that he gets messed up!" He presses another button and the back of the truck opens, and several bombs roll out towards DK!
DK has no time to avoid the bomb, as they came so suddenly, and the bombs all hit him and explode.
BANG! BLAM! BOOM!
"Oh no! DK!" screams Roy upon hearing and seeing the explosion.
"HAHAHAHAHA! HE GOT BLASTED!" laughs Sweet Tooth. "HAHAHAHAHA!"
Roy glares at Sweet Tooth fiercely. "HOW DARE YOU!" He reaches his hand to the truck door and tears it off!
"WHAT! How on earth did you tear off the door so easily!" gasps Sweet Tooth.
"I'll show you the power of the dragon genes within my body!"
"What are you talking about?"
Suddenly, DK shows up again! The wooden covering of his car has been burned off, revealing the engines underneath; yet, the car is still running, but not for long…
"I'm all right, Roy!" DK shouts out.
Roy looks back and is glad to see DK alive and well. "DK! You had me worried!" And then he sees another person on a skateboard, riding besides DK.
"I knew something like this would happen!" says the person who appears to be Frank. "I prepared this jet board beforehand in case something happened to my car! Now I can still go on with the race!"
"It appears that Frank is back in the race, but this time on a fast-moving skateboard!" says Talko, who is recording down everything from his mini-jet above in the sky.
Because the car is starting to fail, DK hops off his wrecked car and onto the roof of the ice-cream truck. He reaches for the large mechanical head and with all his strength, tears it out! "Hiya!" And then he slams it directly on roof of the driver's section, smashing through it!
"YAAAAAGH! WHAT'S HAPPENING!" screams Sweet Tooth, shocked by the sudden outburst on the ceiling above him and several metal pieces dropping on top of him. He looks up and sees the sky! "YOU GUYS ARE TEARING DOWN MY TRUCK!" he shouts. "CURSE YOU ALL!
DK hops inside and grabs the wheel, trying to take it from Sweet Tooth. "Gimme the wheel and let me drive!"
"Why should I!" replies Sweet Tooth. "This is my car!" The two of them fight for the wheel, steering it left to right and thus causing the car to sway around in a wavy path. Roy and Frank quickly drive ahead to avoid getting hit by the mad truck.
-
Waluigi looks back from the car and says, "They're having a ruckus back there…"
"Who cares?" says Wario. "As long as we are ahead of them, we don't have to worry! Now if only we can catch up with the two in front!"
Suddenly, a red go-kart zooms out of the subway exit not too far in front of the Wario Car. The Mario Bros. is back! "Out at last!" says Mario. Luigi is lying on the seat, all dazed out and unconscious for some reason.
Wario and Waluigi drop their mouths wide open upon seeing the return of those two. "WHAT! HOW DID THEY GET OUT OF THERE!"
Mario drives the car onto the main street and goes ahead of the Wario Bros. "Argh! We must not lose to those filthy pairs!" says Wario angrily. He steps on the gas pedal and zooms forward.
"Wario! The ones behind are catching up!" points out Waluigi. Sure enough, Roy and Frank and coming nearer and nearer to the Wario Car, and the messed up ice cream truck is catching up too!
"ARGH! THIS IS ALL MESSED UP" curses Wario loudly. "WHY MUST IT HAPPEN TO ME!"
"-
As of now, CF and Samus are still in lead, and the finish line isn't too far ahead. "The winner will be me!" says Samus.
"No! Me!" talks back CF.
Somewhere near the finish line, Mr. 2 and his men are standing there, along with 2 large robotic swans on both the sidewalks. "Now listen, my men," explains Mr. 2. "We will allow Captain Falcon to pass safely. If there is anyone else besides him passing, then we will activate this robo-swans and they will begin pecking the street rapidly, destroying any incoming racers!"
"Yes, Mr. 2 Bon Clay!" reply his men with a salute.
"Don't call me Mr. 2! Baroque Works is gone and now I am known as Bon-Chan!"
"Yes, Bon Clay!"
"Ah wait, I believe someone is coming!" says Mr. 2. "It looks like Captain Falcon!"
Sure enough, CF and Samus are coming nearer. "What's with those swans?" wonders CF. "Wait, can it be Bon Clay up to something? He said he's going to help me win…"
Just at this moment, Samus slams her starship into the side of the Blue Falcon really hard, making it spin to the sidewalk.
"WAAAAA!"
"Ha! Gotcha! See ya!" And then Samus speeds off, but CF got back into position and speeds after her.
"Someone else is coming!" says Mr. 2. "Quick, activate the robo-swans!"
"Yes, Mr. 2 Bon Clay!" say his men, and they go to work on the robotic swans. When turned on, the swans' head begin moving up and down, pounding the street with their steel beaks.
"The instant that odd spaceship of sorts gets pecked out of order, quickly turn them off so Captain Falcon can pass safely!"
"Yes, Mr. 2 Bon Cay!"
"And don't call me Mr.2!"
"Yes, Bon Clay!"
Samus smirks as she approaches the pecking robo-swans of doom. "Heh! You think I can get caught to something like this?" Her starship flies up into the sky and over the robo-swans!
"WHAT!" gasp Mr. 2 and his men.
Samus turns to them and says, "You suck at making traps!" And then she drops onto the street and moves off.
Mr. 2 turns to his men and says, "Quick! Turn off the swans so Captain…"
"Don't bother!" shouts the voice of CF, who is approaching the swans at high speed. When near the swans, he jumps out and ahead of his Blue Falcon and he pulls off an amazing spinning cyclone kick in midair, shattering both the robo-swans' head.
SMASH!
His Blue Falcon passes under the shattered heads safely and CF drops back into the driver's seat and drives off while saying to Mr. 2, "I told you I don't need your help!"
Mr. 2 and his men are surprised beyond words, and they did not notice the other racers going pass them.
-
CF catches up with Samus and yells to her, "Don't think you can beat me!"
"Try and make me!" yells back Samus.
Meanwhile, the Mario Bros. is third in place. "At least we get-a third place, Luigi!" says Mario, but Luigi is still unconscious.
Wario is pissed off; he would never let his eternal rival beat him! "Waluigi, bomb them!" shouts Wario.
"Yes!" Waluigi pulls out a bob-omb and hurls it at the Red Fire. The bomb hits the ground just behind the Red Fire, so it did not blow up the car, but rather, send it spinning into the air.
"WAAAAA!" screams Mario. The spinning of the car sends Luigi flying into the air!
-
"Captain Falcon and Samus are both nearing the finish line!" says Talko, who is now behind the finish line. "Let's see who reaches here first!"
The two racers drive with all they have and get closer and closer to the finish line. The moment the two touches it; a camera took a picture of it.
SNAP!
Immediately after the two passed, the Red Fire comes flying pass the finish line, followed by the Wario Car, and then Roy and Frank.
DK and Sweet Tooth are still fighting for the wheel in the ice cream truck. They keep on pulling it back and forth until the steering wheel gets ripped off! "OH NO!" they both scream.
The truck then falls onto its side and slides towards the finish line, grinding the side against the street. Eventually, it got pass the finish line and both the drivers in there are hurled out of the damaged truck.
The audiences are shocked at the way the truck had fallen and the way it got pass the finish line!
DK gets up and says, "Did I win?"
Sweet Tooth gets up and glares at him angrily, "Argh! It's all your fault! I'll kill you!" He pulls out an ice cream scoop and walks towards DK to hit him.
"You wanna fight?" says DK as he gets into fighting position. Right when Sweet Tooth is about to whack him with the scoop, DK lands a powerful punch into his chin. Sweet Tooth is punched into the sky and he crashes into the goal banner in the air, and from there, he gets catapulted into the audience seats.
CRASH!
A couple of audiences were hurt in the crash, but not severely, though Sweet Tooth passed out from the crash.
-
"I won first place!" says Samus.
"No, it's me!"
"Me!"
"Let's not argue and take a look at the picture," says Carlos. He goes to the camera and checks the picture it has taken. "Hmmm… After much observations, it seems that the tip of the Blue Falcon passed the line first."
CF jumps up with joy and shouts, "I WIN!"
Samus stomps the ground hard and says, "Argh! Why not me! The camera must be faulty!"
"Wait… There's something here," says Carlos as he examines the picture more carefully. "There's someone in the air and he seems to have passed the finish line before you two!"
"WHAT!" gasp CF and Samus.
"It appears to be… the Green Mario Brother guy!"
Upon hearing this, Mario and Luigi rush to see the picture, and indeed, it shows Luigi shooting through the air above CF and Samus and his head went pass the finish line first! "What does that mean?" asks Luigi.
"Why'd you ask? You should know! The Mario Bros. won first place!" says Carlos.
"Mamamia! Just like that!" exclaims Mario.
"Of course; if any part of the racer gets pass the line first, he or she wins! Since Luigi is in the same team as you and he went pass the line first, both of you win!"
Mario and Luigi give each other a high five and exclaim, "WE WON FIRST PLACE!"
CF drops to his knees and screams, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Darth Vader style.
Wario throws tantrum and says, "NOOOOO! HOW CAN THAT FATSO BEAT ME! ARGH!"
So these there the rankings for the racers:
Winners
Mario Bros.

"So the first place goes to the Mario Bros.!" announces Talko.
The Smashers run up to them and Bowser says, "I knew you guys would make it!"
"Are you hurt, Mario?" Peach asks him.
"Nothing big-a!" replies Mario,
Lilina approaches Roy and says, "I'm glad you made it through safely!"
"I'll never die for you, Lilina!" says Roy. "But I'm sorry I…"
"Don't worry, your life is more important to me than anything else."
Fox goes to DK and shows him a note that writes, "Don't worry, it's only your first loss." He did this because the ape will never get a word of what he says.
"I'm still happy that I avenged for Game," replies DK through speaking. He turns to look at the injured G&W lying on a sickbed, being loaded onto an ambulance because he is gravely injured.
"Don't feel bad," Zelda says to G&W. "At least you kept your life."
"Never mind…" replies G&W slowly. "I don't really have any big ambitions for this race anyway. At least I good some good experiences from it…"
CF is sitting in the corner, depressed again. "Hey, cheer up!" Ganondorf says to him. "You got 2nd place! It's better then 4th!"
"I'm not satisfied…" murmurs CF.
"Tsk! You're so picky! You're not disqualified yet, so cheer up! Try and win the next race! Even if you lost it, you can still enter the finals because you have two winning records."
CF stands up and says, "First place will surely be mines next time!"
"I'll be rooting for you, Falcon!" says Mr. 2. "You can count on me to help you win!"
"I don't need your help…"
Yoshi and Kirby are sad that Sweet Tooth didn't win, but then they are happy again when they heard that Sweet Tooth already has two winning records, so he can still enter the finals.
And so, the race in Fourside has ended. How will the remaining races go for the Smashers? Only time will tell.
