Episode 10
Title: You can
eat food, right?
Phil: Previously on, The Amazing Race MK! Teams departed from the confusing Forest of Illusion, and made their way to Chocolate Island. Teams spent nearly the entire leg wearing Cape Feathers, much to the delight of some… and the annoyance of others. After a harrowing experience in Skydive… teams found a difficult challenge that grouped them all together. One by one, teams managed to overcome the behemoth and move on to the Pit Stop… underwater. Booster & Snifit, falling to last place yet again, were vying with Kooper & Koops for fourth place, and a fierce battle erupted. In the end, Kooper & Koops lost the battle. However, this was the second non-elimination leg, and they were spared elimination. However, they are now Marked for Elimination. 5 teams remain… Who will be eliminated… next?
The opening plays with no new Red “X”s.
Phil: This… is Chocolate Island. A mound of deep brown volcanic material, it adorns the map with its delicious name. It’s covered in rocks and wildlife, but its most spectacular tourist attraction sits behind me… the Sunken Ghost Ship. This was the eighth Pit Stop… in a race around the MK. Teams arrived there for a mandatory rest period, but are now resting within Wendy O’s castle. They can now eat, sleep, and mingle with the other teams. Will Kooper & Koops manage to get out of last place and survive being Marked for Elimination? And will the seemingly unstoppable reign of Kat & Ana and Dixie & Tiny come to an end? Kat & Ana… who were the first to arrive at 12:59 PM… will depart… at 12:59a AM.
*Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Kat: Fly to Yoshi’s Island…
Phil: Teams must now take a ferry to Dinosaur Land’s Yoshi’s Island, and then fly nearly 3,000 miles to its namesake. The home of all the Yoshis, this beautiful tropical island sits in the middle of the vast Mushroom Ocean. When they land, they must find the house of the most famous Yoshi… Yoshi. Once they find him, they will receive their next clue.
Kat: Wow! You know, I’ve always wanted to go there.
Ana: I simply adore Yoshis! This should be fun!
***Kat: We’re at the front of the pack, and things couldn’t be better.
***Ana: It’s like we have no competition. We just ride the first-place wind while weaker teams are slowly knocked off.
Kat: Should be a fun one. Hi! Two tickets on the next ferry, please!
*Riiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Dixie/Tiny
-- Sisters - 1:03 AM
Dixie: Yoshi’s Island!
Tiny: Yoshi’s Island!
Dixie: Yaaaaayyyy!!!
Tiny: Wheeee!!!
Both: *laughing*
***Dixie: We’re having fun, and we’re enjoying ourselves on this race. If you don’t have fun, then the race is miserable… and we don’t want that.
…
Dixie: There’s the ferry terminal…
Tiny: The girls are waiting.
Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Unfortunately, there’s no ferries
until morning.
Dixie: Morning?!
Tiny: Oy…
*Riiiiiiiiiip*
Koopa/Paratroopa
-- Partners - 1:15 AM
Paratroopa: Fly to Yoshi’s Island!
Koopa: Ah! Boy, that was long ago!
Paratroopa: Hm?
Koopa: When Bowser attacked that island. I was only 2!
Paratroopa: Hahaha!

Booster: Maaaawwwnnnaaaaahhhh!!
Snifit: Booster, you know it’s not required that you rip open the clues with your mouth…
Booster: YESH IT ISH! Dun’t break the rules… or eat them…
Snifit: *sigh* Fly to Yo-
Booster: Oh, cheezburgers!!! We get to go on plane!! Yaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!
Snifit: …
They wander off.
*Camera shot of the sun rising over

*Shots of the teams paying for ferry
tickets and riding the ferry*
*Cut to a shot of their flight path
(with the Amazing Yellow Line)*
Phil: All teams are now on the same flight to Yoshi’s Island
Tense music plays…
YOSHI’S ISLAND
Many shots of the Yoshis enjoying their
daily life are shown. They’re running around, eating fruit, laughing, swimming,
exploring.
…
The plane lands.
Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Come on! This way!
Dixie/Tiny
-- Sisters
Dixie: Taxi!!!
***Tiny: Well, we all ended up on the same flight, so we all got equalized.
Koopa/Paratroopa
-- Partners
Koopa: Run! I mean… fly!
***Paratroopa: It kinda cheesed us off that we all had to be bottlenecked, but there was really nothing we could do…
Kooper/Koops
-- Recent Friends
Kooper: Let’s go!
***Koops: Well, I was happy… It let us catch up!
Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Konichiwa! We need to get
to Yoshi’s house!
Rouge: Yoshi as in Yoshi Yoshi?
Kat: Uh… yeah… Mario’s friend.
Rouge: Okay!
Dixie/Tiny

Dixie: Follow that taxi, please!
Orange: You got it!
Koopa/Paratroopa

Koopa: Hi! Please hurry, we don’t have
much time!

Kat/Ana

Kat: Are the girls behind us, Sis?
Ana: Yep… and so are three other cars.
Kat *glances back* It’s a caravan, eh?
Ana: We’re all equal!
Koopa/Paratroopa
-- Partners
Paratroopa: Errr!! This is maddening!
Can’t we pass them?
Koopa: No… Passing isn’t allowed on these highways…
Paratroopa: …
Dixie/Tiny
-- Sisters
Dixie: We’re all gonna arrive at Yoshi’s
House at the same time…
Tiny: Yup…

Dixie/Tiny

Dixie: Where’s the clue?
Koopa/Paratroopa

Paratroopa: We get it from Yoshi, where
is he?
Kooper/Koops

Koops: There! Yoshi!
Yoshi: Well, lookit this! Everyone’s here!
Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Hiya, Yosh! Look, Ana! The guy
we’re gonna follow in his footsteps!
Ana: Yeah! He won!

Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Fast Forward!
Kooper/Koops
-- Recent Friends
Kooper: It’s a Fast Forward!
Booster/Snifit
-- Lackey + Master
Booster: Rewind!!
Phil: This… is the last of only two Fast Forwards on the entire race. The first team that finds it and completes it… will be able to skip all tasks and go directly to the Pit Stop. However, there is only one Fast Forward on this leg. Once it has been claimed, any other teams pursuing it are just… wasting time. In this Fast Forward, teams must walk about five blocks to this restaurant, where they must eat what is described on their clue as a “light lunch”. However, Yoshis are known for their bottomless stomachs. What is a light lunch to them…
The camera shows a HUGE pile of food.
Phil: …is a feast to us. The first team that can eat their entire platter of food will receive the Fast Forward award.
Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: I’d love to go for the Fast Forward…
Kooper/Koops
-- Recent Friends
Koops: Kooper… we have to take it…
If we ever hope to stand a chance of surviving this race… we need it…
Booster/Snifit
-- Lackey + Master
Snifit: We can do it, right Booster?
You can eat a lot.
Booster: Hay! I ate a car once!
Snifit: Mhm… And you did eat Bundt… Okay! Let’s go.
Dixie/Tiny
-- Sisters
Dixie: Lookit that… Three teams are
going for it…
Tiny: Wow…
***Dixie: We had already used our Fast Forward, and Koopa & Paratroopa didn’t seem interested… so it was sure to be an all-out brawl…
***Tiny: …of eating…
Dixie: Are you sure you want to go for it?
Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: I have a “gut” feeling we’ll win,
and even if we don’t it won’t hurt us very much.
She nonchalantly gestures to Kooper & Koops.
Kooper/Koops
-- Recent Friends
Kooper: We’d better get going.
Koopa/Paratroopa
-- Partners
Paratroopa: Ha! They’re all nuts! It’s
suicide! C’mon.
*Riiiiiiiiiiip*
Koopa: Roadblock!
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one person may perform. In this Roadblock, teams must first travel a few miles by taxi to find this place: The Wildlands. Here, the chosen team member must practice the number one form of self-defence practiced by Yoshis: Egg Throwing. They will stand at this line and must toss eggs at this target 50 feet away. If they can hit the bulls-eye five times, they will receive their next clue.
Koopa: “Who’s on target?”
Paratroopa: It’s my turn!
Koopa: Okay! Ma’am, please take us to the Wildlands!
Jeune: Sure!
*Riiiiiiiiip*
Dixie/Tiny
-- Sisters
Dixie: Roadblock… Who’s on target?
Tiny: I’ll do it…
Dixie: You sure?
Tiny: Yep, let’s go.
Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: I guess we’d better get going.
Ana: The Koopas are going that way.
Kat: I see the restaurant. Come on, let’s go.
Booster/Snifit
-- Lackey + Master
Snifit: Follow them, Booster!
Booster: NOYES!!!
Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: This’ll be great! Just a light
lunch. Come on, Ana! If we get there first, we’ll win for sure!
They dash to the front of the pack.
Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends
Kooper: Gah! C’mon, Koops!
Koops: Sorry… they’re really fast…
Booster/Snifit
-- Lackey + Master
Snifit: So you’re gonna eat all your
food, right?
Booster: Not if it’s ICKY!
Snifit: If you don’t eat it all, you won’t get that special edition train set for Christmas.
Booser: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Kat/Ana
-- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Right there!
Ana: “Bottomless Pit”? Haha! Sounds like a Yoshi restaurant all right.
Kat: Let’s enter!

Kat: Do you still want to do this?
Ana: … Well… we get to share the food with each other… I think we can do it.
Kat: Well, I am hungry…

Koopa/Paratroopa

Dixie: This must be it, right?
Paratroopa: *pays* Come on! Let’s jet!
Tiny: Okay! Let’s throw some eggs!
…
Dixie: *hefts an egg* This shouldn’t be a problem.

Booster: HUWAAAAHH? I wasn’t eatin’ nothin’!!!
Snifit: Whatever. Did I tell you that these fruits aren’t actually fruits? They’re, um… chocolate.

Koopa/Paratroopa
-- Partners
Koopa: There it is!
Paratroopa: Coo’!
*Riiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Both: Detour!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams must choose between two common tasks found on Yoshi’s Island. The choice? Fast Feet or Fleet Flutter. In Fast Feet, teams must make their way here to the Yoshi Racetrack, a location made famous by its appearance in Super Mario RPG. Here, teams will race against a group of Yoshis. If either team member can achieve first place, they will receive their next clue. In Fleet Flutter, teams must way their way to this place: Cloudy Fields. This wind-swept area is where young Yoshis practice their flutter jump ability. When teams arrive, they will find the annual Flutter Jump Competition taking place. They must choose one of the competitors and place a bet on him or her. If the selected Yoshi is the winner, teams will receive their next clue.
Koopa: Feet… Flutter…
Paratroopa: Aww! Too bad! I coulda done the flutter jump myself.
Koopa: Yeah, right… Well, I think we should do the race. Whaddaya think?
Paratroopa: I can fly preeeety fast! Let’s give it a try!

Booster: De… opposite of rewind?
Snifit: No, it’s a task that, if won, lets us go straight to the Pit Stop. We just did that!
Booster: When?
Snifit: At the restaurant.
Booster: We were in a restaurant?

Paratroopa: Oh… Cool…
We see an overview of the “Yo’ster Island Track”. Yoshis are at the starting line, stretching and getting ready to race. Most are burgundy.
Koopa: Cool! The Yoshi track! I can’t believe we get to be a part of this!
Paratroopa: You ready to race?
Koopa: I’m gonna fail *raspberry*, but hopefully with your swift flying, you’ll win.
Paratroopa: Well, wish me luck!
Koopa: Already done!
Chief Yoshi: Hi! Welcome to the racetracks! Please take your positions and get ready for the first race.
Koopa: Good luck, everyone!
Other Yoshis: …
Koopa: … ’K…
All: …
*Bang*
Paratroopa: Yah!
They both dash off the starting line. It’s a close race, but one red Yoshi is too fast and wins the race.
Koopa: C’mon! C’mon!
Chief: Finish! You’ve placed 2nd and 5th. Please try again.
Paratroopa: Awww!

***Koops: …
***Kooper: Sure, he was a little slower than the other racers, but it didn’t matter. He had a brain, and a will to win. I wouldn’t’ve done this race with anybody else but him… It was a good experience… and I’ll never forget it.
***Koops: *slightly brighter tone than before* Yeah…
