"Geeze, the Simpsons have been knocked out, Cloud Strife has been knocked out, Sonic/Amy/Shadow have been knocked out, and Haru Glory has been knocked out...how many more racers are going to be knocked out?" Taj asked.
Master Hand sighed. "I don't know, Taj, but we can't give up hope." He encouraged, "Just give the surving racers more of a chance, and they'lll prove themselves."
Taj placed a napkin on his forehead, wiping it nervously. "Oh, I hope you're right, Master Hand. This is TOO brutal, even for a race..." He said in a worried tone.
Back in the Ankylosaurus Desert racecourse itself, we can see Paulie Preztail and Fergy Fudgehog coming swiftly behind Captain falcon and Koopa/Paratroopa.
"Fergy, I'll handle the steering. You handle the items," Paulie suggested, taking the wheel from Fergy.
Fergy gulped. "Yeah, but Paulie, how am I suppose to do that?" He asked.
Paulie laughed. "Easy. Just grab an item box and get what's in it. Or a balloon," He said, going straight through a rainbow-colored balloon, which Fergy grabbed. "See? Now you use the item in it!"
Fergy grabbed the item out of the item box, which was a green Koopa shell. He threw it at Koopa and Paratroopa. "I don't know, Paulie. I don't think I could get used to this..."
Paratroopa grabbed a mine and threw it behind him, watching the freen Koopa shell collide with it. He stuck his tongue out at Paulie and Fergy.
Fergy fumed. "That turtle thinks he's so smart, huh? I'll show him." He grabbed another item box, this time, getting a hookshot. He fired it at the bumper of the Koopa Dasher, causing the kart to drag the Pinata Kart along with it.
Paulie gave Fergy a high five. "Nice job, Fergy!" He complimented.
Fergy rubbed the back of his head, laughing. "Thanks. I have some skill, huh?"
Captain Falcon swerved to the left and went towards a narrower path. Leaving Koopa/Paratroopa and Paulie/Fergy behind on the main path, Captain Falcon made a rough left turn on the sharp curve, and the Blue Falcon scratched itself on the side of several, sharp-pointed rocks. Captain Falcon then made a mini-turbo on the following right curve, and he grabbed a rocket booster, using it to propell him to go over the quicksand pit. Captain Falcon chuckled as he turned to the right and zoomed over the ramps.
Back on the main road, Paulie/Fergy and Koopa/Paratroopa were fighting with each other. They were trying to get rid of one another.
"So you think you'll be able to defeat us?" Koopa said, smirking as he looked at Paratroopa, nodded in unison, and turned to face Paulie and Fergy again.
Fergy got into a fighting pose, for some strange reason. "Bring it on! We can take you, right Paulie?"
Paulie nodded. "Right, Fergy!' He slammed his foot on the pedal, and the two pinatas zoomed off.
Paratroopa grabbed a triple set of red Koopa shells, and he fired at Paulie and Fergy, watching them being sent into the air after being collided by the red shells. "Take that, you candy-filled freaks!" He taunted, hanging on to the railings of the Koopa Dasher.
Fergy grabbed a mushroom and threw it into the engine of the Pinata Kart, propelling the vehicle at high speeds, and enabiling the Viva Pinata characters to catch up with the Koopa Troopas.
Quick switch to Captain Falcon. He's making power slides and mini-turbos as he goes through the soft curves. Then then accidentaly turns left on a right curve, sending the Blue Falcon off-course and falling down an abyss. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!" Captain Falcon screamed. A pair of Lakitus rushed over to rescue Captain Falcon and the Blue Falcon.
Pikachu, Marth, and Roy were all barreling down the desert racecourse, being chased by the DKR Octopus. Pikachu switched positions with Marth, and the yellow electrical mouse Pokemon fired thunderbolts at the DKR Octopus, frying the boss with electricity. Roy followed by firing several flame arrows, which surprisingly had no effect. Marth turned to the left and made a mini turbo on an upcoming curve, before he swerved to the right. He switched positions of the steering wheel with Roy and fired some bombs at Moe/Lenny/Carl/Barney, who exploded in mid-air and all went blasting off into several small quicksand pits. Roy carelessly drove the vehicle, crashing through cactuses and rocks. As he attempted to make a power slide on the right curve, he turned left, running over Barney Gumble (who was somehow not damaged by being run over).
Pikachu and Marth both sighed. Marth grabbed Roy and Pikachu took the steering wheel, making a left mini turbo on the right curve. Marth placed Roy down on a rocking chair, and the blue-haired swordsmen then started firing some tacks behind him. He grinned as he watched a handful of racers - Bumper the Badger, Pipsy the Mouse, Diddy Kong, Bronto the Brontosaurus, and Dixie Kong/Tooty Bear - stop in their tracks after going over the tacks.
Pikachu switched positions once more with Marth, and he grabbed a thunderbolt, which he used to make the nearby racers smaller. He, Roy, and Marth easily passed by Boggy the Polar Bear, who was having terrible luck sledding in the desert-paved road (with his sled being constantly slowed down). As the trio of Smashers continued, they got bowled over by a Bowser Shell. They looked up from their damaged and tilted-over vehicle to see Bowser and his gang of buddies passing by, laughing victoriously and giving each other high-fives (except a bana-eating Donkey Kong and a meditating Mewtwo).
"Mewtwo, how much longer until we get towards first?" Bowser asked.
Mewtwo opened his eyes. "Hmmm...well, we seem to be closing in on 13th place, so we're getting close."
Bowser grinned widely. "Good." He grabbed the steering wheel and turned right. "Let's see...perhaps we should cause an ambush for the other racers..."
Ganondorf raised his hands. "Hey, I have an dea." He chuckled. "Me and Wario will ambush the racers."
Bowser raised his eyebrow. "How are you so sure, Ganondorf? You don't even have a vehicle."
Ganondorf chuckled. "Oh, don't we?" He asked, grabbing a remote and pressing the big, red button on it.
A patch below the Koopa Klown Car then opened, and out came the Gerudo King (Ganondorf's version of Bowser's Koopa King from MK: DD), which landed solidly on the desert ground.
Bowser stopped the Koopa Klown Car from going any further. "All right, so here's how it'll go. You and Wario take ou the others. I'll keep on propelling forwards," He instructed, patting Ganondorf on the shoulder.
Mewtwo only nodded. "Ganondorf, good luck to you and Wario."
Ganondorf grinned, chuckling. "Thanks, guys. Come on, Wario," He said, as he started to laugh evilly and jump down into the Gerudo King.
Wario cackled maniacally. "Wahaha! The Great Wario will overtake all!" He laughed evilly as he jumped down into the Gerudo King, and held on to the driver's seat as Ganondorf slammed his left foot on the pedal.
Bowser watched in pride as Ganondorf and Wario took off (albiet slowly) in the Gerudo King. He turned to face Donkey Kong and Mewtwo. "All right, guys, hang on." He said, starting up the Koopa Klown Car again.
Donkey Kong nodded. "Right, Bowser!" He said as he grabbed another Giant Banana and threw the Giant Banana Peel he previously had behind him, landing on the desert path.
Within 30 seconds, the Koopa Klown Car started to hover again, and it took off, heading towards to the left. As Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Mewtwo left, Tiff and Tuff collided with the Giant Banana Peel on the path and spun around, now temporalily stopped in their tracks as Pikachu, Marth, and Roy passed by them, starting to pick up their engine again.
