"Is it me or do we not have much to say?" Yoshi asked while swerving around related species to the Ankylosaurus in the desert.

Dr. Hoshi was polishing parts of the vehicle. "Perhaps it is indeed just you. Wonder how the others are doing."

Large herds of Ankylosauruses can be seen moving slowly in the rough sand as the sprawling Ankylosaurus Desert blows serious, powerful winds at them. The racers drive carefully as they strive to succeed and survive.

May is driving the coach she and her friends - Misty and Max - are driving in. As she turns left, May jumps over a wrecked barrel, and she then slides inwards on the right bend of the sand paved road. Up ahead her is Haru Glory, who's trying to keep himself in pace with the sand.

Max grabs a bomb from an item box, and as May turns outwards on the left bend and then jumps over a pair of railing and heads upwards, max tosses the bomb bellow at Haru Glory, blowing him up. Misty gives Max a high-five as May forces the coach to jump over the high ramp and land hard on the sandy road. May then turned to the left, and as the coach went downhill, Misty grabbed a mushroom from an item box and tossed it into the engine, causing the coach to speed faster. May then jumped upwards, hopping over the stream of rough sand, and as she turned right and went upwards, Max punched at Peach's group, forcing the characters to go spinning around and crash into the right side of the rising mountain. May then turned left, but then bumped into a cactus, causing the coach's velocity to fall. While the three Pokemon human characters tried to move their coach out of the cactus, Haru Glory takes this as an advantage and coasts by, taunting at them.

Elsewhere on the Ankylosaurus Desert racecourse, those pesky plumbers are trying to get Kirby and Meta Knight off their trail. Mario switches driving positions with Luigi, and the red guy tosses behind a red fireball, causing the TAC vehicle to spin around in flames, while Luigi slides inwards into the left bend, entering a mountain. Kirby grabs a water bottle and sucks it in, spitting out all of the water all over TAC, cooling it down.

Meta Knight then thrusts the TAC forward into the mountain, after turning left and following close to the Mario Bros. Luigi makes the Red Fire car jump over a set of barrels, while Kirby stands up and sucks in the barrels, swallowing them. The two group of racers slowly turning left, Mario then grabs a hammer and tosses it at the incoming set of barrels as Luigi turns left. It is then that the vehicle runs over a red arrow, and the Red Fire is plunged up into the air, the two Mario Brothers screaming as they held onto each other and then landed on top, going down a narrow path, leftwards.

Kirby switched driving positions with Meta-Knight, and the pink puffball started to ram through the not-so-strong barrels as he steered towards the left. Kirby then swiftly turned right as he avoided collision with a set of iron, steel barrels. MetaKnight grabbed a hook-shot, and he fired it upon Diddy Kong, who noticed this and turned his yellow kart into a yellow hovercraft, sliding downwards as the hook-shot fell off.

It was then - to both Kirby and Meta Knight's shock and surprise - that the Mario Brothers came crashing down from the ceiling, and the Red Fire slid down the right curve, going out of the mountain and back into the scorching, hot desert. Squinting, Luigi grabbed a pair of sunglasses and navigated past Diddy by going straightforwards instead of turning left. Mario then switched positions with Luigi, and he jumped the Red Fire over several cacti in the rough sand below, landing back on the sandy-paved path and turning to the right, passing by Dr. Mario, Zelda, and Pichu. Kirby and Meta Knight both go to the left after exiting the mountain, but they are attacked by Link's group, who attempts to pass. Meta Knight slashes at them, and it forces Epona to back off a bit, slowing down. Mario and Luigi both cheer as they jump over a small ramp and head downwards the sandy-paved road.

"Feels like we're just going to keep racing about," Yoshi concluded while chucking various spotted eggs of his at the racers head of him. "Maybe I take it."

"Well then we progress ahead." Dr. Hoshi concluded and finished filling up the engine. "There's no time like the present!"
