Author's Notes: Whoopie, a runner-up chapter to the next race, wahoo! (cue canned audience laughter) But seriously, that is what this is. (blinks) Erm, enjoy!

Disclaimer: Hello, my name is Anderson Cooper. Well, not really, and it means no offense to him, but I'm just tryin' to spark life up here in ol' Kentucky. ...(slaps forehead) Who am I kidding? Enjoy the friggin' intro. (leaves)

In the middle of the night, prior to the next race...everyone loves races...

"Well, here she is, guys," Bumper the Badger said proudly. The outline of the car could be seen beneath a trap. He threw it off dramatically, revealing… a cardboard cutout of a car.

Crickets chirped.

Bumper sweatdropped. "Ehehehe...tada?" He said, trying to be enthusiastic.

Krunch the Kremling's veins began to bulge, while Timber the Tiger slapped his forehead

"Well, it looked real at the dealership," Bumper explained, while the cutout teetered and fell over.

Drumstick the Rooster looked ominously angry, drawing out a machine gun he stole off from Shadow the Hedgehog.

Bumper gulped. "The weather?" He tried weakly.

"Bumper," Krunch growled, "Just how much did you spend on that car?"

"Errrr… we'll put it this way, under 200,000 dollars," Bumper squirmed.

"How much?" Krunch, Timber, and Drumstick ushered angrily.

"199 dollars and 99 cents," Bumper said, shortly before he began to run for his life.

It is now the morning, where all of the sleeping racers, who have not been in the Deathtrap Stadium race, have gathered and prepared themselves for the next race, where they were going to race in the mountain-based, castle covered racecourse, known as...

"'ROCKY CASTLE MOUNTAIN'!?!?" Exclaimed Moe as he looked at the names for the racecourses, "Followed by 'Yoshi Island Theme Park', 'Ankylosaurus Desert', 'Triceratops Cove', and 'Pterydactyl Plains'!? What are Master Hand and Taj thinking!?"

Carl took a look. "Hmm...it seems that these are the names for the 4 upcoming racecourses after the Rocky Castle Mountain race..." He laughed. "I can't believe that Master Hand and Taj can actually get this far. We're already close to 100 chapters, and yet I thought that this story end by chapter 50!"

Moe looked strangely at Carl.

Carl swetadropped. "What? Is it my armpits?" He took a sniff out of his left one and put deoderant on it.

Moe shuddered in disgust. "No, not that." He went back on topic. "It's just that you're talking nonsense."

Carl gasped. "I am?"

"Yeah. Story? Chapter?" Moe exclaimed, waving his hands in the air, "Carl, this is REAL LIFE!"

"And yet, the hosts of this frickin' Grand Prix already have 4 planned racecourses after this one, and the fact that there are over 100 racers?" Moe retorted, before Lenny whacked him.

"THANK YOU, Lenny." Moe said, smiling as he looked down at the unconcious Carl.

Lenny shrugged. "Eh, it's no problem, dude."

Moe's left eye twitched. "Don't ever call me that."

Lenny gulped. "Sorry. Now..." He looked at the the list. "Where are the french fries?"

Moe blinked. "Ummmm...Lenny, this is a RACING STATUS list, not a McDonald's menu..."

Lenny gasped in horror. "It's not!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! He dramatically screamed.

(snicker) In Darth Vader's voice.

"UGH!" Darth vader roared in fury, "I AM SO SICK AND DAMN TIRED OF PEOPLE USING MY 'NO' TRADEMARK!!"

"Don't you have a shop where you sell crap and doo-dads?" Moe blantly pointed out.

Darth Vader paused, and he nodded. "Good point. Thanks." He went back to his store, but not before using the Force to choke Lenny.

Moe shrugged. "Meh, they'll get back up in time for the race." He picked up the unconcious Lenny and Carl, and Moe started to head to his car, while dragging his two unconcious buddies.

Spongebob Squarepants sprung up, smiling as he looked at himself in the mirror. "Why hello, Spongebob, ow was your day?" Spongebob asked himself, "I'm doing good myself, thanks. You're looking great yourself, my fine chap."

"GOOD MORNING, YOSHI KART RACERS, SUPER SMASH BROTHERS, DIDDY KONG RACERS, AND OTHER CHARACTERS!!" Patrick Star screamed, before he was flung out of his bed and crashed into the door.

Spongebob laughed. 'Oh Patrick, you always do the most hilarious things."

Patrick got himself out of the door and scratched his head, confused. "I do?" He slapped himself. "Oh yeah! I do!"

Spongebob leaped out of his bed, and jumped into his pants. "C'mon, Patrick, the next race awaits!" He started running down the hallway.

Patrick looked down, to find himself in his underwear. He looked back up at the running Spongebob. "Hey Spongebob, wait for me!" Patrick ran back to his bed to get his pants, and then he started running down the hallway to catch up with Spongebob.

Banjo woke up, to see Spongebob and patrick running. He remembered his talk with Kazooie. "Gu-huh! Come on, Kazooie, let's go practice!' He shouted to his red-crested breegull friend.

Kazooie muttered to herself as she got herself out of bed. "Ugh...Banjo, can we at least get some coffee and hashbrowns before he do anything?"

Banjo nodded. "Sure!' He placed Kazooie in his backpack, and the bear with yellow shorts ran down the hallway, catching up to the likes of Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick.

"Welcome, everyone, to the next, long-anticipated race of...THE FIRST ANNUAL YOSHI KART GRAND PRIX!!!" master Hand and Taj shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Or simply Yoshi Kart," Master Hand simply added. "Now that all of the racers from 1st to 35th places have done their race, it's time for ALL of the OTHER racers to do THEIR race!"

"D'oh!" Homer Simpson moaned. "Does this mean that I HAVE to race, too?"

"Yes, you do, Homer." Master Hand replied.

"D'OH!" Homer shouted, and his 'D'OH!' was so loud, it echoed throughout the entire universe.

Taj chuckled, before he stopped. "Now seriously, here is the outlook of the next race." He took out a huge map, consisting of the entire race course of the Rocky Castle Mountain race course, and took out a chart stick, which he used to point out objects on the map. "Now, then. The racers will start at the Mountain's lowest point, where they will rise as they race. Later, when they reach this point of the track-" He pointed his stick at the yellow circle around the tunnel, "-The racers will go into this tunnel, which will take them down the mountain, where they will enter the 1st and main castle-" He pointed his stick at the huge, Medieval castle, "-and after going through the castle, will the racers once again-" He pointed his stick at the rocky bend, as well as an oval-shaped lake, "Go through the mountain's rocky bend, and then wrap around the dangerous oval-shaped lake. And after doing that, they'll go through the 2nd and final-" He pointed at the much smaller castle, "Castle, where they will exit, and by that time, they will reach the peak of the mountain, where the finish line is and where the warp back here is also!" He finished, pointing his stick at the mountain's peak and a badly drawn blue warp as he took out a hankerchief and wiped his forehead.

A badly injured Bumper moaned. "Great. I won't be able to race until my injuries recover."

"Well, serves you right for spending all that good money on a stupid picture in the FIRST place," Krunch sighed, sitting in the fewer seats as he looked up at the huge projectile screen.

Master Hand nodded. 'All right, then. Let's see all of the racers who will be racing." He waited for 5 minutes.

At this time, all of the racers (who have minor roles compared to the MAIN characters, btw) come out of the hotel, grab their vehicles, get their weapons (plus food and drinks, just in case), and all arrive at the starting line, where a gigantic warp is awaiting them.

"All right, it's good to see that Spongebob/Patrick, Mermaidman/Barnicleboy, and Moe/Lenny/Carl will get some comeback in this race," Taj announced. "Let's just hope the Sonic gang, too, will get a much more rewarding racing experience, rather than hanging around like they did in the last race."

"And all this and more will come up, after a few commercials," Master Hand said, as everyone turned to the projectile screen.
