Yoshi Kart Chapter 74: Dr Hoshi's Check Up, a super smash brothers fanfic

New Author's Note: Decided to mesh em all up together because way not. Happy anniversary, Yoshi Kart.

Old Author's Notes: Well here it is: The pre-race chapter. However, this is merely Part 1; Part 2 will be where the pre-racing action will take place, but this is to just get the point of it up. Anyway, enjoy!

Disclaimer: Do you know how generous it was for Tikitikirevenge to do this disclaimer for us? ...Actually, he didn't, but we tried to convince him by luring him here with cheesecake. But we failed so much, he had to try and convince him again by lying about Dr. Weirdlove being the best fanfic ever. Boy, did we ever find it out the hard way when we woke up in our beds with the game disc of Super Smash Brothers Melee in our red Gamecubes. Anyway, here you go!

Dr. Hoshi's Check Up

It was the middle of a cold, stormy night at the hotel where the Yoshi Kart Grand Prix racers were sleeping.

Dr. Hoshi poked Yoshi. "Hey. Get up." He poked harder. "Yoshi, get up!"

Yoshi groaned as he scratched his head with his right hand and rubbed his left eye with his left hand. "Doc, c'mon. It's 1:00 a.m. in the morning..." He mumbled, before falling back to sleep, snoring.

Dr. Hoshi sighed and whacked Yoshi with a baseball bat he found in Ness's closet.

(WHACK!)

"GET UP!" Dr. Hoshi shouted after whacking Yoshi with the baseball bat.

"AHHHHH!" Yoshi screamed, as he crashed into the wall.

Peppy Ankylosaurus got up, awakened by the loud crash, Yoshi's screaming, and Dr. Hoshi's angry shout. "Wuzzah?" He looked straight at Dr. Hoshi. "What the heck was the screaming and that huge crash?"

Dr. Hoshi shook his head. "Nevermind about that." He looked at Peppy straight in the eyes. "Where's your brother, Heppy Ankylosaurus, and Bronto the Brontosaurus?"

Peppy shrugged. "They went to McDonald's 3 hours ago. Why?" He asked afterwards.

Dr. Hoshi grabbed Peppy. "We're going to practice before the next race starts. That way, we'll be prepared for the newly-built, stadium-based race course we'll be racing in."

"Awwwww man..." Peppy moaned, as he and Yoshi were dragged out of the room.

Later, outside the hotel...

(cue crappy parody music)

Pikachu titled his head at Dr. Hoshi. "What exactly are we doing out here while it's raining in the first place?" He asked.

Dr. Hoshi grinned, as he looked up at the night sky. "You'll see." He looked back down to see Koopa coming. "You're over an hour and a half-hour late, you do realize that."

Koopa chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his head. "Ehehehehe...yeah, you could say that." He then pondered. "But why are we here, anyway?"

Mario nodded, agreeing with Koopa's question. "Yeah. I have been also wanting to know that, myself."

Dr. Hoshi sighed as he looked at the summoned videogajme characters. "Well, I have been studying the upcoming race course for which we are to race in next, and let me warn you now, it's not an easy walk in the park, which is specifically why I have rightfully summoned 10 of you guys out here," He explained.

Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Bowser, Peppy Ankylosaurus, Koopa, Krunch, Tiptup, and Diddy Kong all looked at each other in disbelief, and then back strangely at Dr. Hoshi. "What? You mean all of us?" The 10 video game characters said in unison, all of them particularly Nintendo owned. Except Tiptup, he was the odd turtle out.

Dr. Hoshi cleared his throat again. "As I was saying before, the reason I summoned you guys only is because of you having the experience for the next racecourse."

Dr. Hoshi blinked. "Yes. All of you," He said, shaking his head.

Yoshi nodded, rubbing his chin. "I see. What's it like, doc?" The green Yoshisaurus curiously asked.

Dr. Hoshi sighed, shaking his head. "Well...I have to warn you, Yoshi, it's not an easy track. It takes place in a stadium known as the Deathtrap Stadium, and there's a good reason for the name; there are a lot of curves and unavoidable traps within that stadium. So I might as well let you experience what it will be like first before the official race begins tomorrow." The highly-intelligent purple Yoshisaurus explained.

Diddy Kong chuckled. "And this is all coming from a 179-year-old dinosaur professor." The monkey started to laugh.

Dr. Hoshi gritted his teeth. "I'll show you what to laugh at, you...oh nevermind." He shook his head. "Why should I explain when I can let you all race right now?"

"Then let's race already!" Mario said, getting into a red kart.

Yoshi got into a green kart. Bowser got into an orange kart. Pikachu got into a yellow kart. Donkey Kong got into a yellow-orange kart. Mario was already in the red kart. Peppy Ankylosaurus was in a yellow-green kart. Koopa was in a bright green kart. Diddy Kong was in a red-blue-and-yellow strip kart. Krunch was in an orange-and-green kart. And Tiptup was in a lightblue kart. All of the 10 different characters lined up at the starting line.

A Lakitu waved the race flag. "Ready...set...GO!" All of the 10 characters zoomed away.

Dr. Hoshi appeared next to the Lakitu. "Do you think that this training will prepare them for the real race tomorrow?"

The Lakitu shrugs. "I hope so, because we're not having this race, like you instucted, for nothing." He and Dr. Hoshi started laughing.

Bowser is in the back of the racing pack, in 10th place. In 9th and 8th places are Tiptup and Koopa. In 7th place is Krunch, determined to pass Diddy Kong who's in 6th place. Peppy is currentely in 5th place, trailing Pikachu, who's in 4th place. Yoshi is in rd place, and currentely both Mario and Donkey KOng are fighting each other in 2nd and 1st places.

"Nothing like some bananas to help 'brighten' the mood!" Donkey Kong laughed, grabbing a banana and throwing it in front of Mario's path.

Mario saw this, and he swerved to the right, avoiding the banana. He rammed into Donkey Kong. "Come on, DK - you can surely do better than that!"

Donkey KOng growled. "Only if you want me to!" He got in front of Mario, and released spilled oil. Mario accidentely drove on the spilled oil, and he started to spin around, screaming. Donkey Kong laughed and zoomed off, using a mushroom.

Yoshi saw this, and he swerved to the left to avoid crashing into Mario. He made a powerslide on the left curve, and he saw Donkey Kong ahead of him. Yoshi grabbed a pair of green Koopa shells.

"I hope these shells don't go to waste," Yoshi said, releasing the green Koopa shells, and watching them ricochet all over the stadium walls.

Donkey Kong turned around to see Yoshi, and he growled. "How about some fruit, dino-boy?" He threw a Giant Banana behind him.

Yoshi accidentely slipped on the Giant Banana, and he spun into the wall, crashing. Pikachu and Peppy passed by, after seeing Yoshi crash.

"What's happened to him?" Peppy asks.

Pikachu shrugs. "Beats the crap out of me."

Both of the two different, but yellow characters make powerslides on the left and right curves. Donkey Kong throws another Giant Banana behind him. Peppy and Pikachu swerve in different angles, easily avoiding the Giant Banana. Diddy Kong, who's using rocket boosters to sped to 1st, accidentaly collides with the Giant Banana and spins around, getting blasted by a rocket missile from Krunch.

Pikachu starts to pump up electricity. "Let's see that ape handle this." He used Thunderbolt, which struck Donkey Kong and caused the gorilla to stop.

"BZZZZZZZZT!" Donkey Kong screamed as he was electrifyed. Smoke started to appear from his electricuted kart as Pikachu and Peppy passed, laughing.

"What a loser!" Peppy laughs. He smirks and looks at Pikachu. "Now for you." He rams Pikachu into the stadium wall, up towards the ramp ahead. Peppy goes over the ramp, but not before throwing a mine behind him. Hemanages to land on the other side.

Pikachu screams as he collides into the mine, and falls into the chasm. He angrily mutters curse words to himself as he awaits to be rescued. Other racers, including Mario and Donkey Kong, go over the ramp and make it to the other side.

The Lakitu looks at the screen. "Hey Doc, looks like we already have a few racers down and out." He said, "Should I go and rescue them?"

Dr. Hoshi rubbed his cin. "Lakitu, you go and do that. I'll be back..." He ran off, having means of joining the racing competition.

The Lakitu frowned and shook his head. "I'm starting to have my doubts about this..." He said to himself, as he picked up his fishing rod and hovered to the Deathtrap Stadium racecourse.

Back on the racecourse, Mario slowly approaches Diddy Kong. Diddy turns around and releases bubbles behind him. Mario gets stuck, and he is now a few places behind as he struggles to notices that Bowser is still in 10th place, and he uses that as an advantage. Mario starts closing in on Koopa.

Koopa turns around and sees Mario. He growls. "Feh! Not on your life, plumber boy." He grabs a Boo, which makes him and his kart invisible.

Mario moans, slapping his forehead. "Great! Now how will I be able to strike" He asks himself as he carefully drives.

Yoshi is trailing Tiptup. Tiptup swerves to the left, and so does Yoshi. Tiptup simply turns on the right curve. Yoshi performs a power slide, which gives him a mini-boost. Yoshi now appears side-by-side with Tiptup.

"Trying to beat the competition, eh?" Tiptup laughed, taking out a rocket missile, "You'll have to take me out first!"

Yoshi chuckled, grinning back as he took out a green Koopa shell. "It would be my pleasure."

The two green reptiles kept chuckling at each other as they made another turn on the right curve.

Bowser is still in the back of the racing pack, waiting for his moment to strike. He's actually in 9th place, with Pikachu being in 10th, due to the yellow rat falling in the chasm. Bowser stops his heavy kart when he sees a knocked out Koopa on the side of the stadium road, and waits for the small turtle to get up.

Koopa shakes his head, and he looked at his damaged kart in surprise and shock. "What the heck!? My kart's down!" He got out a mushroom. "Luckily, I pack one of these babies with me for these occasions." He jumped into the driver's seat, tossed the mushroom into his engine, started up his kart, and went zooming off on the stadium road.

Bowser smirked to himself, and he started up again, going over the ramp.

Pikachu is seen driving up a curve, making several power slides as he does. He sees the ramp, and takes out a rocket booster.

"I'm not falling into that chasm again," The electrical yellow mouse Pokemon growls to himself, as he ignites the rocket booster and zooms over the ramp, landing on the other side.

Bowser sees Pikachu, and the Koopa King swerves to the right, allowing Pikachu to pass right by. Koopa turns around to see Pikachu.

"Hey, what the-" Koopa has no time to react, as Pikachu electrocutes the turtle and sends him crashing into the left stadium wall. Koopa pulls back onto the racecourse and fires a red shell at Pikachu.

Pikachu is hit by the red shell, and he screams as Koopa passes him. Koopa then leaves behind a few bananas behind him. Bowser manages to swerve to avoid the bananas, but Pikachu doesn't have as much as luck, for the electric mouse Pokemon slips on a banana peel and goes spinning. He then boosts himself by using a powerslide on the left curve, and manages to pass Bowser.

Bowser follows Pikachu, but he doesn't use a power slide. Instead, he simply turns on the curve, and turns again as he approaches the right curve. Pikachu sees Bowser, but not realizing about Bowser's plan, he throws a mine behind him. Bowser collides into the mine, incredibly slowing his kart down. Pikachu grins, and he starts to gain on Koopa's tail, who's trailing Mario.

Mario growls, seeing both Koopa and Pikachu in his rear-view mirror. "Let's see that turtle-a and the rodent-a handle-a this!" He took out several red fireballs, and hurled them all behind him, straight at Koopa and Pikachu.

Koopa placed up a blue shield around his vehicle, blocking any damage he'd recieve. Pikachu followed suit, but with a yellow shield. Bowser managed to swerve to avoid the fireballs, and he then took out a Bowser Shell. His plan was now set in motion.

"Say goodbye, chumps." Bowser laughs, as he releases the Bowser Shell in front of him. Mario, Koopa, and Pikachu are all clobbered, crashing into the walls on both sides of the stdaium. Bowser laughs as he grabs a Boo from an Item Box, and turns invisible with it. He now drives across the racecourse, with the Bowser Shell ricocheting all over the road.

Dr. Hoshi is way in the back, trying to catch up to the other racers. He's using a huge rocket booster, hoping that it'll speed up the progress. He looks on his kart's computerized map screen, and notices that Mario, Pikachu, and Koopa have been knocked off the road. Dr. Hoshi nods and takes out a cellphone.

"Yo! Lakitu!" Dr. Hoshi shouts to the cellphone, "We got an accident iN Section 3.14! Yup, 3 characters have been knocked out by Bowser. You think you can rush over there?"

"I sure can!" The Lakitu said through his cellphone, as he hung up and hovered to the area where Mario, Pikachu, and Koopa were trying to fix their karts.

Mario looked up. "What is it-a, Lakitu?"

"Dr. Hoshi said that you three have practiced enough." The Lakitu then started picking up the karts.

Pikachu jumped in surprise. "What are you doing!?"

The Lakitu sighed. "Hey buddy, it's my job to be doing this kind of stuff. You're lucky you got a first taste of the stadium!"

Koopa frowned, placing his hands on his hips. "Yeah, but that just doesn't give you a right to pick up our karts with no reasoning..."

Yoshi and Tiptup are still continuing to fight each other. Tiptup rams into Yoshi, and he then fires agreen shell. Yoshi collides into the green shell, but he pushes on. He makes a right turn on the upcoming cuvr, while Tiptup zooms away with a powerslide and mini-boost combo. Tiptup turns around at Yoshi and taunts.

"Haha! You can't catch me, and there's no chance that you'll beat me!' The green turtle laughed.

Yoshi growled, but he then noticed something on his kart's computerized map. a large, red dot was approaching a green dot, which was Yoshi. Yoshi turned around to see the actual thing behind him...which was a Bowser Shell hurtling towards him and Tiptup!

"ACK!" Yoshi screamed as he started swerving left and right to avoid the Bowser Shell, "Man, if only I had a shield right now! That would help me!" But sadly for Yoshi, he didn't have the shield with him, and he ended up getting clobbered by the Bowser Shell.

Tiptup had a bit of better luck, but also suffered the same fate as Yoshi's, for the Bowser Shell crushed the poor turtle and his light, though flexible, kart.

Bowser zoomed by, using a triple pack of mushrooms, and bashed into Yoshi, sending the green dinosaur into crashing into the stadium's left wall. Tiptup was also bashed aside by Bowser, on the right side of the stadium walls.

The Lakitu from earlier saw the knocked unconcious Yoshi and Tiptup, and he flew over to them. "My, oh my...you two seem to have been knocked senselessly."

Yoshi and Tiptup moaned in paiin, too weak to get up and fix their completely damaged karts.

The Lakitu frowned. "Tell you what - I'll deliver the karts to the Parking Grounds first, and I'll come back for you," He said smiling, as he picked up the damaged karts and took off.

Yoshi looked at Tiptup. He coughed, but smiled a bit. "Well, Tiptup that was surely an interesting trek we had."

Tiptup also coughed, but he managed to chuckle a bit. "Yeah. At least we have some knowledge of what the entire racecourse will be like."

"Let's just hope the others don't suffer the same fate as us," Yoshi added.

Tiptup kept on chuckling, but coughing a bit at the same time. "Don't worry," He assured, "I'm sure the others will be fine."

New Author's Note: And now, as an extra bonus for you loyal readers, for some quite embarrassing old author's notes that I couldn't resist keeping!
