The Amazing Race MK II

By Giga Bowser NS

Episode 6
Title: You should be a professional, I just realized how silly that sounds
 

Phil: Previously… on the Amazing Race MK! Seven teams set off from picturesque Cheep Cheep Beach… only to find they were headed to the even more picturesque Rainbow Road. The path to follow branched into three: teleportation, an expensive Passenger Bill… or a long flight. Teams began to branch, but ultimately all those able to avoid the flight met up… at Rainbow Road. At the Roadblock, one team member had the chance of a lifetime to enjoy every track ever featured on Rainbow Road. Teams headed off to find their next clue, ready to continue the leg. Tonight we find out… who will be eliminated… next… ?

The opening plays with no new Red X’s

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Yes, that is definitely our clue.

Ana: Cooolll…

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: Man… I’m exhausted.

Tiny: Me too… But the leg is just beginning…

(Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiip)

Tiny: Detour!

Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks! Each with its own Pros and Cons! In this Detour, teams will encounter brilliant, rainbow-colored objects called Star Bits. Their choice is what to do with them! In Find ‘Em, teams must continue to use their Red Stars and fly around Rainbow Road, searching specifically for silver-colored Star Bits. If teams can find seven silver Star Bits amongst the cluster of other colors, they may trade them for their next clue. In Shoot ‘Em, teams return to the tracks of Rainbow Road… and find this shooting gallery. There, they must use the provided pile of Star Bits to knock down seven targets. The Star Bits can easily be thrown far, due to their chaotic nature as projectiles, but the targets are very far away.

Dixie: Oh boy…

Tiny: I gotta go with shooting them. There’s gotta be a kajillion Star Bits floating around here! We’d never find seven silver ones.

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Good day!

(Riiiiiiiiiiiip)

Ana: Detour!

Kat: *reads* Shoot ‘Em. Definitely.

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: Great minds think alike!

Kat: Except last leg, apparently…

Dixie: Yeah…

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: Ha! I can do this course easy! It’s so simple!

Phil: Iggy & Lemmy, and Booster & Snifit must still complete the Roadblock, which all other teams have already completed. They must hop into a racing kart… and complete seven laps of Rainbow Road. Each lap will take them across a different path: the original tournament, the high 64 tournament, the super tournament, the double dash tournament, the double supers tournament, the international tournament, and finally, the ultra tournament. Once they have completed all seven laps… they will receive their next clue. If teams should fall off the tracks, a team of Lakitus are on hand to rescue them. Teams are permitted to bump karts around, but they may not use weaponry.

Lemmy: Booster’s staying close, though…

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: Waaahaaahaaahaahahahahahaagahahsuasiuodgahosiudgoausgdhoaish- *Boom* Yay!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Where in the world are we going?

Xoshi: I don’t see those Red Stars anywhere…

Foshi: Well we gotta find them. We do not want to fall behind today, not after all this hard work.

Xoshi: You said it… Hm…

Foshi: What is it?

Xoshi: I was just thinking about your spill on the loop…

Foshi: Ah, t’was nothing! That Lakitu saved me!

(Replay)

Ana: Oh my gosh! Look! Look over here! Who is that?!

Koops: Someone flew off the loop!

Dixie: Who is it?!

Koopa: … Oh my… It’s Foshi! He’s falling!

Xoshi: What?! No!!! He’s gonna land right on top of the loop! Lakitu!!!

Foshi: *slow motion* Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Xoshi: Stop!!! ...! Augh… *clutches forehead*

(End Replay)

Foshi: Why? Something on your mind?

Xoshi: … Well… Ana said she didn’t see a Lakitu.

Foshi: Hm?

Xoshi: She kept saying there was no Lakitu.

Foshi: Huh. Sure. How did I get saved then? Someone magical lifted me down? Ha! She’s nuts!

Xoshi: …

(Riiiiiiiiip)
Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners

Paratroopa: Detour!

Koopa: (reads* Ooh, can we do Find ‘Em? I wanna keep flying! I’ve wanted to do this all my life!

Paratroopa: Pretty sweet, eh? Okay, we’ll do that.

Koopa: Hahaa!!! I never wanna walk again!

Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends
Kooper: Oh, dang…

Koops: We’re in fourth now.

Kooper: Well, come on then!

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: Dude! Will you freakin’ watch out?!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: Euuwwwaaaaahhhhhh?!?!!?!

Iggy: Man… They’re really goin’ at it, huh?

Snifit: They’re nuts!

Iggy: Woah! Watch it! Phew… that was close! Ack! Careful! Oh, another close call!

Snifit: How are they staying on?! They narrowly avoid falling off after every curve!

Iggy: Well, maybe we will be able to catch up… I’m kinda unnerved around you guys. You have a knack at beating out… last place…

(Riiiiiip)
Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends

Kooper: Detour…

Koops: Let’s just Shoot ‘Em. Trust me, we’ll never find any silver Star Bits around this jungle.

Kooper: You do have a point. *sigh* Let’s do the boring one then.

Koops: Trust me… This has NOTHING to do with my acrophobia SHUT UP!!!

Kooper: Dude… calm down…

Koops: Can we please put these Red Stars down now?! Please?!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: Here we are!

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas

Ana: Pick a station!

Dixie: Look how far away the targets are!

Tiny: I can hardly see them!

Kat: This looks… physically impossible…

Ana: Should we just switch…? I mean, how can we throw them that far?

Dixie: Well, no. Let’s just try. *picks one up* Woah, they’re pretty light. Hm… Ya!

She chucks it; it flies super far, way past the target.

All 4: WOAH!!!

Dixie: Did you see that?! Did you see that?!

Tiny: How’d you do that?

Dixie: I’m a superhero! Haha. No, try throwing one! Just do it!

The other three also try throwing pieces. They all miss, but go the same distance.

Kat: That is epic!

Ana: This should be a cinch!

Tiny: How many targets?

Kat: Seven per team.

Ana: Nah… I got one!

Kat: Good job! Aim carefully, everyone!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Why do I get the feeling we’re walking in the wrong direction?

Xoshi: Hm… We have been walking for quite a bit and haven’t found anything…

Foshi: Do you wanna turn around?

Xoshi: I mean… I don’t know…

Foshi: C’mon! Where’s that intuition you had on the Beach?

Xoshi: I’unno…

Foshi: Let’s go back. This isn’t right.

The two walk away, but the camera turns 180 degrees and shows the Red Stars just around the bend.

*Gong*

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: Okay! Course four! Woah! What a difference! This must be the Double Dash course. Dang BJ, he’s so lucky!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! This isn’t fun!

Lemmy: Hey, it’s crazyman. Hi, crazyman!

Paratroopa: Whee!!! Here we are!

Koopa: Oh boy…

Paratroopa: This is the area?

Koopa: Yeah, go find silver ones.

Paratroopa: I have a feeling that this isn’t gonna be easy…

Koopa: Don’t worry! Ha! *flies off*

Paratroopa: Wait for me! Wahooo!

Koopa: Look at all the colors! Blue, green, orange!

Paratroopa: Is that one?

Koopa: Nope, it’s white…

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: Hey! What the? Dead end! Gahaaaaaaahhh!

Tiny: Well, settle down and start throwin’.

Kooper: Is it that hard?

Dixie: Ha! *swoosh* Phoo. Well, they’re so far away!

Koops: Woah! You threw that far!

Dixie: Heh…

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends

Foshi: Where… in the world… are we going?

Xoshi: I don’t know… How can this be so hard to find?

Foshi: The clue says it’s right near the finish line of the Ultra Course, but I don’t see anything, so we… gotta keep going.

Xoshi: Yeah… I guess…

*Gong*

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: All right! Onto the home stretch! This is the DS tourney, so let’s do it!

Koopa: You find any yet?

Paratroopa: Yeah! I got one!

Koopa: Great. This shouldn’t be too difficult.

Paratroopa: Here’s another one!

Koopa: Excellent!

***Koopa: We felt like we had made the right choice. There were a LOT of Star Bits floating around, but all it took was hard searching.

Koopa: Hmm…

Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends
Kooper: Hmm…

Koops: What?

Kooper: Oh, nothing. I’m just trying to calculate the angle of my next throw.

Koops pauses, throws, and they hear something smash.

Koops: What was that?

Kooper: Woah… Dude, you’re good at this.

Koops: Awww, shaddup. I’m not that good…

Kooper: O’course you are! We’re catching up to the girls now!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: HA! Says who?

Kooper: Says me an’ my buddy! Show ‘em!

Koops: Mnn…

He throws again, but misses.

Kooper: …

Dixie: Oh, yeah. I’m convinced now! *snicker*

Koops: Shut up…

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: Okay! Let’s do this!

***Lemmy: So I had just started the International Tourney track when it all started.

Lemmy: Where’s the crash test dummy?

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: Her Aye Is!

Lemmy: Indeed you are!

Booster: Hay! Watch this! Wheeeeeeee!

***Booster: Ehaiaugsikahu! I was trysing to give his kart a boost to the finsh line!

***Snifit: … Why?

***Booster: I’unno. Why’s the sky green?

*SMASH*

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: AAAAHHHH! Watch it!!! Woooaaaaah! JEEZ!!!

Booster: Whoaha!

Iggy: Hey! HEY! What did your crazy pet just do?! He just pulverized Lemmy right off the friggin’ track!!!

Snifit: Hey! Hey! Don’t look at me! I’m not controlling him!

Iggy: C’mon… Ah! He fell! HE FELL!!! YOU LITTLE CREEP! YOU MADE HIM FALL!

Snifit: Calm down!

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: I’m just glad we’re off the track now.

Ana: Yeah, I don’t wanna be around that kinda rage.

Kat: … YES! Chalk one more up for me!

Ana: Good job!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: …

Xoshi: …

Foshi: Hey! *snap, snap* Xoshi! Don’t go all broken telephone on me again.

Xoshi: Oh, uh, sorry. I was just… thinking…

The camera helicopter flies up and a path appears, showing that they’re walking in a humongous circle back to the clue.

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Paratroopa: *snicker* Look, Koopa! Look at the Yoshis!

Koopa: What?

Paratroopa: Where are they going?! They’re going in a big circle! Haha! Looks like they’re lost.

Koopa: I didn’t know you COULD get lost on Rainbow Road.

Paratroopa: Haha!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Xoshi: Oh… I think we’re going the right way now.

Foshi: What makes you say that?

Xoshi: Looks like we went in a gigantic circle.

Foshi: Oh, okay.

Xoshi: It was strange… I thought I could hear the Koopas talking…

Foshi: *looks around* There they are, up in the air, but they’re too far away. How’d you hear them?

Xoshi: I don’t know…

Foshi: …

***Foshi: I was starting to get unnerved…

The music picks up.

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: *huff… hufff…* This… is not over! You will not win!!!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master

Booster: O RLY?!

Lemmy: Yeah! You’re gonna pay! You hear me?! PAY!

***Lemmy: I was really, really angry! I’ve never been that angry, and I don’t really know why. It baffled me!

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Ana: Excellent, girls!

Kat: Now both of us have five!

Kat: No worries! Trust your instincts!

Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends

Kooper: Four…

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: Wheee! Wheeeeeeeeeeee! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

(Riiiiiiiiiiiip)

Lemmy: Let’s go…

Iggy: I saw him knock you off!

Lemmy: … I’m… aware…

Iggy: We gonna kill him?

Lemmy: Yep.

Iggy: He’s a dead man.

Lemmy: Well… don’t say that… I don’t think he’s a man. He’s not much of anything.

Iggy: You’ve got that right!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Tiny: Yes! I got one of them!

Dixie: Geez! Look how far it went! Is it gonna fly all the way around the planet?

Tiny: Hahaha!

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: OUCH!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Both: 0.0

Kat: Haha! I gotcha!

All 4 laugh.

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Okay! I got one too!

Ana: Gimme one! I’m gonna go for the last one!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Tiny: It’s so tiny!!! No pun intended!

Ana: … >:q… eeeeeee… YAH!!!

Tense music plays.

*SMASH*

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Yeah! Excellent!

Ana: I did it! I did it!

Kat: Yaaaaahhhh!!!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: Good job, Ana!

Ana: Keep going, you two! We’ll catch ya later!

(Riiiiiiiiiiiip)

Kat: “One more challenge awaits you. First find the Mushroom that sparkles Emerald… ”

Phil: Teams must now take part in an adventure sport that is quickly gaining popularity: Star Diving. First, they must search through a large 25 by 25 meter bowl of Mushrooms for two 1-Up Mushrooms. They must be careful as there are some green Mushrooms mixed in. However, only 1-Up Mushrooms will sparkle. Once they have each found a Mushroom, they will be escorted to this place at the edge of Rainbow Road… and take a plunge. They will fall an unfathomable height to the city below… with no parachute… and no bungee cord.

Phil is standing at the edge of Rainbow Road.

Phil: The idea behind Star Diving is that the participant… will die. There is no chance of surviving this fall.

Phil goes back to voiceover.

Phil: Once they have struck the ground, the 1-Up Mushroom they are holding will activate, and they will stand up, completely unharmed. There is no danger to this task, but teams will have to overcome the fear of the idea of dieing on purpose. Once safely on the ground, teams will receive their next clue.

Kat: … Okay, I’m not often clueless, but this makes little to no sense!

Ana: Gimme that… Okay, a green sparkling Mushroom is a 1-Up Mushroom. Ooh… neat. Anyway, I have no idea what a Star Dive is. It says they’ll only explain it once we find the Mushroom. Here. There’s a bowl o’ Mushrooms over here!

Kat: Haha, okay! This sounds fun!

*Gong*

(Riiiiiiiiiip)
Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: “First find the Mushroom that sparkles Emerald… ” Hmmm..

Tiny: That’s a 1-Up Mushroom!

Dixie: Awesome! Let’s go!

Tiny: Hey! What’s a Star Dive?!

Dixie: No clue!!! Come on!

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Woah!!!

Ana: Look at all the freakin’ Mushrooms!

Kat: There’s like a zillion of them!

Ana: Here! *picks one up* This is it, right?

Kat: It isn’t sparkling. It’s green, but not sparkling.

Ana: Oh… Oh! This’s an Ultra Shroom!

Kat: Ah!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: MUSHROOMS!!! Wheeee! *Splash of Mushrooms*

Kat: Haha! Good idea! Cannonball!!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: I see them.

Xoshi: This has been a most embarrassing day. We were right… by… them…

Foshi: Whatever. Let’s just get this done.

Xoshi: *points to the Red Star* Grab me one, will ya?

*Fwoosh*

Foshi: Gah! What the?!

Xoshi: *clutch* *FLASH* *Gasp* What… happened?

Foshi: You pointed at that Star and it flew right to you!

Xoshi: What… I…?

Foshi: Dude, a lot of weird stuff’s been happening today. It’s like we’ve entered the Twilight Zone…

Xoshi: Do you think I could… Nah, nevermind! Let’s just go!

Foshi: Mhm… Graaaah! There’s the two last place teams!!! *bleep* Dang!

Xoshi: We fell THAT FAR behind?!

Foshi: Don’t matter. *flares fist* We can take ‘em!

*FLASH*

Both: Here we go!!!

Both have grown Yoshi wings, colored their respective red and brown. Their previously red and brown skin is now black. Foshi is surrounded by a fiery aura.

Foshi: This is so awesome!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: Oh my god! Oh… my… god…! I don’t believe it!

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Paratroopa: That’s our fifth one!

Iggy: S’faster!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: Booster? Which one shall it be?

Booster: Wee’s… aaah… TROW’M!!! … Hi…

Booster: HA!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Okay! *Throw* Let’s discuss what’s been happening!

Xoshi: Dude! *Throw* Just focus on the task!

Foshi: We can *Throw* talk while we throw! *Throw* Now, what’s happened?

Xoshi: I figured out where the key was, I heard the Koopas, I made the Red Star fly to me, and everyone tripped right in front of me.

Foshi: Yeah. *Throw* Weird *Throw* stuff…

Xoshi: Do you think something’s wrong with me?

Foshi: I don’t know. *Throw* I’m just happy to be here.

Xoshi: Hm? *Throw*

Foshi: Well, I almost fell earlier today! Thank god for that Lakitu.

Xoshi: *Throw* Yeah, that’s another thing. There wasn’t a Lakitu.

Foshi: Whaddaya mean?

Xoshi: That’s what Ana said. She told me she saw no Lakitu. You just floated back to the track.

Foshi: …

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: What’re they talking about?

Iggy: Who cares? Focus on your task.

Lemmy: Yeah, they’re gonna be distracted.

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: *Ptooie* Yum!

Snifit: Uh, Booster, I don’t think you can spit them…

Booster: SHADDUP!!!

Snifit: …

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Paratroopa: Wheeeeeeeeeeee! Muuuushrooooooomsss!!! *Splash*

Koopa: Haha! Nice dive bomb!

Paratroopa: There’s so many here! I’m swimming in them! How do we find a 1-Up?

Koopa: Two. We need two.

Paratroopa: Ugh!

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Got one!

Ana: No way!

Kat: No! I got one!

Ana: That’s great! Quick! Find another one.

Kat: I hope so. The girls were so lucky to find two in a row! I wonder how they’re doing.

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: Hi there! Hi! We’re ready.

Lakster: All right. Do you both have your 1-Ups?

Tiny: Got ‘em.

Lakster: Okay, so today you will be performing a Star Dive. It’s an adventure sport that many residents of Mushroom City enjoy.

Dixie: Ooh! Sounds exciting.

Lakster: You will be jumping off the side of the road, right over there. Directly below there is a park.

Tiny: Fuunnn!!!

Dixie: So, what? Is it a bungee jump?

Lakster: Uhhh, no.

Dixie: Oh, really? What are we doing, parachuting or something?

Lakster: Nope.

Dixie: Well… sorry, I don’t get it. What exactly are we doing?

Lakster: You’re jumping off the edge. Simple as that.

*Abrupt musical change*

Both: WHAT?!

Tiny: With nothing attached to us?

Lakster: Nothing! You will be jumping down to that park down below.

Dixie: Isn’t that… dangerous?!

Lakster: No! You will be perfectly safe… since you’re holding *gestures to 1-Up Mushrooms* those!

Tiny: Ohhh… I get it. So, what you’re saying is we’re gonna kill ourselves.

Lakster: Yep! The 1-Up Mushrooms will revive you completely unharmed.

Tiny: No…

Dixie: -way!

***Tiny: I don’t normally get scared, but this seemed 100 percent insane to me!

***Dixie: Yeah, it’s crazy!

Tiny: Ohhh… boy…

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Got it! Go!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Y’know, Xosh, *Throw* I’ve been thinking. I got my fire powers about a month after I turned 19. When was your last birthday?

Xoshi: Uhh… 28 days ago.

Foshi: Yeah… and you turned 19.

Xoshi: I did… *gasp* Do you think?

Foshi: That can only be it! You’re floating things, making people trip, hearing voices from afar, figuring out where things are. Xoshi…

Xoshi: What?

Foshi: You, my friend, have psychic powers.

Xoshi: A…are you sure? Could it be true?

Foshi: Try it.

Xoshi: Umm… Gimme the clue.

Foshi: Here…

Xoshi stares at the clue for about 30 seconds. Then, the clue suddenly lifts into the air, hovers before Xoshi’s face, and flies off at a high speed.

Foshi: *blinks* That’s proof enough for me.

Xoshi: Wow… I can’t believe it… This is so unbelievable! I’ve been waiting for this for a long… a long time. *sniffle*

***Xoshi: I couldn’t believe it. I finally had powers. I was just like Foshi, and it made me feel awesome!

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: Yeah! That’s number three!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: Don’t get ahead of yourself! We’ve got three too!

Booster: THREE TOO MAYKZ TIRDY-TWO!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Oh shoot, we’ve only got two. We’re getting distracted!

Xoshi: Right!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Lakster: Are you ready for this?

Tiny: Oh god!

Dixie: Don’t worry! You’ll be fine! Just hold onto that Mushroom!

Tiny: I’m gonna die…

Dixie: Uh, yeah. That’s the point.

Tiny: Mmnnnnn…

***Dixie: What a crazy task that was! I couldn’t believe it!

Tiny: I don’t know if I can do this!

Dixie: You can! As corny as this sounds, you just have to believe!

Tiny: Just lemme… catch my breath… and get my heart outta my throat.

Dixie: Heh heh, don’t worry yourself too much. We’re in first place!

Tiny: Goodd…

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Iggy: HaHA! I am on the ball today! That’s five for me!

Lemmy: Hey! I’m the one in this family that rides a ball!

Iggy: C’mon! We only need one more!

***Lemmy: I mean, seeing the Yoshis right next to us in last place boosted our morale intensely! They’re such a powerful team, which makes them more awesome to beat!

Iggy: Step it up, Bro! You only got one!

Lemmy: I’m trying!

Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends
Kooper: Ooh! Ooh! What is this? What is this little beauty?

Koops: You found one… Good job…

Kooper: *wry look* Thanks, Mr. Enthusiasm!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Lakster: ARE YOU READY?!

Tiny: NO!

Lakster: ARE YOU READY?!

Tiny: …

Lakster: In THREE!!! TWO!!!! ONE!!!!

Tiny: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!

The video changes to slow motion as she falls, tumbling head over heels.

Dixie: Oh, gosh! I can’t look!

*Silence…*

*Thump* … *1-Up sound effect*

Tiny: Wha? What happened? Am… am I on solid ground?

Lakilaki: Yeah! You did great. Lemme just give you a quick medical exam… Okay! You’re completely unharmed! Time to wait for your partner

Dixie: Ohmigoshohmigoshohmigoshohmigosh! Issheokayissheokayissheokay?!

Lakster: *radio fuzz* Yep! My colleague is with her now. They’re waiting for you.

Dixie: Oh, gosh!

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: Hey Dix!

Dixie: Kat! Ana! Oh, boy! Wait ‘til you hear what you have to do!

Ana: Why? Is it fun?!

Dixie: N-no… J-j-j-just ask him…

Kat & Ana: …

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Xoshi: … Gah! Missed again!

Foshi: Come on! We can’t lose after all we’ve been through!

Xoshi: I’m distracted… I still can’t believe it.

Xoshi levitates a Star Bit to his hand.

Foshi: Mm… It is quite amazing!

Xoshi: Truly…

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Paratroopa: Whee-heeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Oh, I love you! I love you!

Koopa: Wha? Huh?

Paratroopa: I got one! Look at it! It’s so pretty!

Koopa: Haha! Good work there, buddy!

***Koopa: Paratroopa’s got such an upbeat and giddy attitude! He’s never down.

Paratroopa: (singing) Wee can fiiind iiiittt!

***Koopa: Good morale boosts!

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Both: What?

Kat: Really?

Lakster: Yes! That is your task. Do you understand?

Kat: … Okay.

Ana: A-a-a-a-a-a-a-are you sure we’ll be all right?

Kat: Sure we will! You just have to believe.

Kat strolls off nonchalantly.

Ana: How can she be so calm?!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Lakster: ARE YOU READY?!

Dixie: Oh god! I don’t think I can do this!

Kat: Hey Dix.

Dixie: Gah! Hey! Don’t scare me like that!

Kat: I think you’re scared of something else. Trust me, Dixie. I am a ninja. We thrive on peace of mind. Getting yourself worked up over something like this is only going to make it harder. Just trust your instincts and believe. You will be fine. I’ll be fine. Ana will be fine. And Tiny already did it, didn’t she?

Dixie: Yeah…

Kat: Well, come on then! Here, I’ll do it with you. *extends hand*

Dixie: *gulp* Okay… Whatever you say…

***Dixie: Kat’s kind words really helped. She’s such a great friend… *sigh*

Kat: Ready?

Dixie: Here goes nothing!

They both jump.

Kat: Coming, Anaaaaaaa…?!

Ana: Wah? Me?!

Lakster: You can go whenever you’re ready!

Ana: Ummmmmmm…

***Ana: No doubt about nothin’! I was scared out of my wits! But, I saw my sister do it. She was so calm! I’ve always looked up to her, so I had to do it. I just had to.

Ana: Cowabungaaaaaa!!!

*Thump* *Thump* *Thump* *1-Up sounds*

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: Woaah… Ughh…

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Ana: That was… trippy…

Kat: What a rush! That was incredible!

Dixie: I know! I’m so glad I did it!

Tiny: Hey! Over here! Stop yappin’! We gotta get to the pit stop!!!

Dixie: We do?!

Tiny: *Riiiiiiiip* Well, I assume so… *reads* Yep!

Phil: Teams must now climb up Star Road to return to Rainbow Road. At the very top they will find the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in here… may be eliminated.

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas
Kat: All right, gang! Let’s do this!

Ana: What an awesome leg that was!

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: Let’s goo!!!


Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Iggy: Dude! Get your freakin’ butt outta my face! I’m trying to do my *bleep* task!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: Calm down!

Lemmy: Shut up. We haven’t forgotten what you did at the Roadblock.

Snifit: That wasn’t even me!

Iggy: You’re guilty by association.

Snifit: *grunt*

Iggy: So, as I was saying, get your butt outta my face!

Snifit: I’m trying to hit my target!!!

Iggy: You’re a dumb *bleep*! Your target is way over there!

Snifit: I’m ANGLING!!!

*SMASH*

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: Ig, let’s go. I got the last one.

Iggy: Ha! See you losers later!

*Riiiiiiiiip*

Lemmy: What’s a Star Dive?!

Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends
Kooper: Aha! Here it is! Way at the bottom!

Koops: Here, pass it over.

Kooper: Okay, now where do we go? Over here?

Koops: Over here…

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Paratroopa: Gah! We have one, right?

Koopa: Right!

Paratroopa: Can’t we split it in half?

Koopa: Heh heh…

Paratroopa: *whine*

Koopa: Oy…

Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends
Koops: … WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

Kooper: We jump off and die? Woah! Awesome!

Koops: Ahhhhhh!!! … I… just wet myself…

Kooper: Hahaha! That’s hilarious! Well, see ya!

Koops: Wait, what?!

Kooper: Bye!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Xoshi: Ughh… Why does everyone keep screaming over there?

Foshi: Hm? I can’t hear any- Oh, right. They’re screaming? Like, how?

Xoshi: Heh… I feel useful. Umm… Like, excited screaming…

Foshi: Hm. So, maybe we’re doing something fun.

Xoshi: Yes… YA! *Smash* Yes! One to go!

Foshi: Excellent shot, my psychic friend!

Xoshi: Heh…

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: Booster? Spit! Now! We gotta hurry up here!

Booster: PWAAHHH!!! … Smash*

Snifit: Nice shot! You should be a professional, I just realized how silly that sounds…

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Iggy: Mushrooms, Mushrooms, Mushrooms! So many Mushrooms!

Lemmy: Yeck! Disgusting, eh?

Iggy: Yeah… C’mon… Shiny and greeeennn…

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Lakster: …and you cannot use your wings to slow your descent. They must remain folded to your back.

Paratroopa: That’s… cool… I guess.

Koopa: Ha! Eh, no worries. Bowser’s put us through worse punishments! Re-re-remember that Goomba?

Paratroopa: Oh yeah! Kamek put a spell on him to think he was dead! Hahaha! That was hilarious!

Koopa: Hey, look! It’s a nervous Nellie!

Paratroopa: Hey, scardy-Koopa! Too chicken to jump?

Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends
Koops: Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shut up…

Koopa: Hahahahahahahahaaa!!! Humorous. Okay, Para! You ready for this?!

Paratroopa: Man, I feel like I was born ready! This is so exciting!

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Lakster: Are you ready?! Then go! On three…

Kooper/Koops -- Recent Friends
Koops: I… I can’t let Kooper down…

Lakster: Two…

Koops: No, I can’t do this! It’s too dangerous!

Lakster: One…

Koops: If I don’t he’ll yell at me!

Lakster: Go!

Koops: Whaaaa!!! … Uh oh… AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHH!!!

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Both: …

Koopa: Well, that was odd.

Paratroopa: C’mon! Go!

He drags Koopa off the edge.

Paratroopa: Wheeeeeeeeee!!!

Koopa: Hey! Watch it! Hahaaa!!!

???: *gasping, panting*

Phil raises an eyebrow.

Dixie/Tiny -- Sisters
Dixie: Dang, Phil! You sure hide in hard-to-reach places!

Tiny: Really!

Phil: … Dixie & Tiny?

Dixie: Yeeeessssss?

Phil: You’re… Team number ONE!!!

Both: *Girly Screams*

Phil: *chuckle* Excellent run. As the winner of this leg of the race… you have won an all-expense paid trip to the beautiful beaches of Delfino Island, compliments of MKA. You can enjoy that after the race.

Both: *Attempting to talk, but only making girly screams*

Kat/Ana -- Sisters / Ninjas

Kooper: THERE you are!!! What took you so long? *tsk* Aw! And you brought company!

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Paratroopa: Wheeeeeeee-heeeeeeee!!! That was a blast!!!

Kooper: Okay! This is it, Koops! Let’s go!

Koops is sucking his thumb.

Kooper: Ugh…

Iggy/Lemmy -- Brothers
Lemmy: Iggy! Do you realize what we’re about to do?!

Iggy: Eh, quit yer worrying. We’ll be fine! The guide says so.

Lemmy: I know… but still.

Koopa/Paratroopa -- Partners
Paratroopa: Wheeeeee!!! This leg was soooooooooo fun!!!

Koopa: (panting heavily) Ughh… Says you! You didn’t have to climb that monstrosity! I’m beat!

Koopa falls over.

Paratroopa: Yeeeaaaaaahhhhoooooo!!!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Woah! Lookit all these Mushrooms!

Xoshi: I… I can’t see the 1-Up Mushrooms… There’s too much psychic interference from… that thing.

Snifit: Ugh… We will not lose…

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Okay! What’re we doing? Tell us! Now!

Lakster: Okay, you’ll be performing a Star Dive. You will jump off the edge, die, get revived with your Mushroom, and emerge completely unharmed.

Foshi: … Okay then… Y’know what? I don’t care! As long as we get to the darn Pit Stop, I’ll do anything.

Xoshi: … Wow… That’s frightening…

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: I got it! I got another one!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s BOOSTER!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Foshi: What the?!

Booster runs past the Yoshis, leaving them spinning, and runs right off the edge.

Booster: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

All 3: …

Snifit: Well… at least he’s holding his 1-Up Mushroom.

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: The NERVE of that guy! Pushing past me! Here I come, you klutz! Haaaaaaa!!!

*Smash* *Smack*

Xoshi: Oh… uh, wow…

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: That… was awkward… I’m sorry, Xoshi. I didn’t know he would do that.

Xoshi: They’re both down there now… waiting for us.

Snifit: We’re gonna have to jump! It’ll decide who wins and who loses… but…

Xoshi: I really don’t feel comfortable doing this…

Snifit: Me neither…

Both: …

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: *sigh* C’mon, Xosh! You can do it!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: JAAWWMMPP!!!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Look! Someone jump- no! Two! They both jumped at the same time.

 cameraman has also jumped down with them, and is filming their descent. The music grows quiet.

***Xoshi: I can’t tell you what it felt like to be falling like that. Falling… so quickly through the night sky into what would normally be considered suicide. It was… magical…

*1-Up* *1-Up*

Xoshi: I’m up… Ugh… That was nuts.

Foshi: Come on, Xosh! Let’s go. Let’s do this!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: Come on, Booster! Let’s run! We’ll make it!

Booster: PHILISHness! Yay! I’s eat him or his food! Cheeseburger!!!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Come on! You can make it! You can do it!

Xoshi: I know! I’m just… worn out. It’s been a long day!

Foshi: Just try your best! Don’t give up!

Xoshi: I know…

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Snifit: Run, Booster! Run! We can win! We will not be eliminated!!!

Booster: NEVARZ!!!

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Xoshi: Gah!

Foshi: Ah! Come on, Xosh! Get up!

Xoshi: I tripped on something…

Foshi: Just a little more! You can make it!

Xoshi: I… I can do it…

Phil surveys the empty area before him, awaiting the first team. His raises an eyebrow.

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Foshi: Phil! Oh gosh… Xoshi! He’s right here!!!

Booster/Snifit -- Lackey + Master
Booster: Gaaaaahhhhhh!!! Phil! The cheezeburger giver!!!

Foshi & Booster step on the mat.

Snifit: *huff, huff* I’m… coming…

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends

Foshi: Xoshiiii!!!!

Xoshi: Urk… I… sorry, Fosh…

Snifit steps on one second before Xoshi. All 4 are panting.

Phil: … Booster & Snifit… You’re team number 6.

Snifit: Phew…

Phil: Congratulations… you are still in the race.

Snifit: Thank you, Phil…

Phil: Okay, let’s let these two in.

Foshi/Xoshi -- Lifelong Friends
Both: …

Phil: Foshi & Xoshi?

Foshi: *sigh* Yes, Phil?

Phil: You’re the last team to arrive…

Phil: … I’m sorry to tell you, you’re both been eliminated from the race.

Foshi: It doesn’t matter. We had the time of our lives. It was a blast.

Xoshi: I got something worth much more than a million coins! I learned of my powers!

Phil: Do you think you can leave this race with heads held high?

Xoshi: Totally!

***Foshi: Leaving the race is definitely a sad experience. We did not expect it, and we really wanted to continue…

***Xoshi: I am just so happy I discovered my psychic powers! I just knew I had powers! They were in there somewhere…

***Foshi: Now we leave the race, so that someone else may win…

***Xoshi: At least I’ve got my best friend in the whole wide world!

***Foshi: We’re out. May your flames burn bright!

The credits roll…
