Episode 2
Title: I hope
he turns off his turn signal first.
Phil: Previously on: The Amazing Race MK….
Phil: 12 teams began a race around the world… for one million coins!
Raz: Go, go!
Hammer: C’mon! Hurry up!
Phil: Each team is made up of two people with a pre-existing relationship. There were partners…married couples…best friends…a separated couple…and even some famous personnel. Immediately, teams were faced with a tremendous surprise when they discovered that the first leg of the race would take place inside the body of Bowser.
All: *Screaming as they get eaten*
Phil: An even bigger surprise came halfway through the leg when Dr. Mario & Nurse Toadstool, having arrived last at the overnight rest, were eliminated on the spot. Teams continued the following morning, when they either battled enemies or mastered special items. Throughout the leg, many teams became lost in the confusing labyrinth of Bowser’s body. Yoshi Jr. and Baby Yoshi were unable to recover from becoming lost twice and were eliminated. Now…10 teams remain… Who will be eliminated…next?
The opening plays with a Red “X” over Dr. Mario & Nurse Toadstool and over Yoshi Jr. & Baby Yoshi.
After that we zoom into Bowser’s castle and get a close up of his stomach.
Phil, voiceover: This…is Bowser. King of the Koopas.
We cut to Phil standing in the Challenge Node.
Phil: …and inside his body is a confusing mess of tunnels and organs. This…was the first Pit Stop in a race around the MK. Teams arrived here for a mandatory rest period that allows them to eat…sleep…and mingle with the other teams. Spending the night inside the body of Bowser was not pleasant for many of the teams…
***Raz: I can’t tell you how anxious I was to leave this place. I didn’t trust any of the food they gave us…
***Boomerang: I have no idea how Mario & Luigi managed to adventure through here… Kudos to them, man!
***Bruce: It was terrible! I had to protect my sweet and keep her spirits high!
***Bombette: I didn’t mind…
Phil: Teams will depart in the same order they arrived. Hammer Bro. & Boomerang Bro., who were the first to arrive at 9:58 AM…will depart…at 9:58 PM.
Boomerang: Get us out of here, man!
Hammer: Gladly! *Riiiiiiiiiiiiiip* Find the Pipe Plaza and take the black pipe, then head outside the castle…
Phil: Teams must now find the Pipe Plaza, a location in Bowser’s body that contains many warp pipes that can be used to exit. Once back safely in Bowser’s Castle, teams will exit and find this military base nearby, where Bowser keeps his arsenal of tanks, ships, and airships. Teams will find their next clue here.
Hammer: Let’s hurry up!
***Hammer: It wasn’t a surprise at all that we got first place. It was expected! We’re the strongest competitors, and no one comes even close to our level. We’re unstoppable!
***Boomerang: There’s a reason we’re at the top of Bowser’s legion!
Boomerang: I guess it’s this way…
Hammer: The clue says to go up…
*Riiiiiiiiiiip*
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds – 9:59 PM
Raz: We’re getting
out!
Raini: Finally!
***Raz: Our love for each other is what’s going to guide us through this race. We understand each other, and we see each other’s strengths and weaknesses, so hopefully we won’t fail.
***Raini: Yeah!
Raz: Up…I guess this is up…Hmm….
*Riiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Broque
Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple –
10:02 PM
Monsieur: Find
zee Pipe Plaza!
Madame: Does zat mean we can exit zis body now?
Monsieur: Oui! Come on!
***Monsieur: Our strengths…we ‘ave zee intelligence and zee brains. We can outwit any of zese teams to zee finish line.
***Madame: Zee point is, we won’t be getting lost. Zat is trés important in zis race.
Monsieur: Zee Pipe Plaza ees just up a bit. Not far.
Madame: Bon!
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Aha!
I think I found it!
Boomerang: Yeah, I think this would be Pipe Plaza.
Hammer: What gave it away? The pipes? Where’s the black one?
Boomerang: Up there! Come on!
They jump up.
Hammer: Goodbye, Bowser’s body!
*Pipe sound*
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raz: Over here!
I found it!
Raini: Really?
Raz: Yeah, and I just heard the Bros! We’re right behind them! Come on!
*Pipe sound*
*Riiiiiiiiiiiip*
Bombette/Bruce
-- Newly Dating –
10:08 PM
Bruce: Oh good!
We’re getting out of here! No more need to worry, hon!
Bombette: Yeah, yeah…
***Bruce: I’ll protect Bombette from everything!
***Bombette: I’m not the biggest fan of how he views everything as a threat to me…That could hurt us in the long run. Because, y’know, if we have a Detour and we can Sky Dive, you’d better bet I’m skydiving!
Bruce: It must be this way!
Bombette: Yeah. This is up.
…
The front doors
of Bowser’s Castle open.
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Come
on!
***Boomerang: We’re both been to the military base plenty of times, so we knew exactly where it was. We just had no idea what we’d be doing.
Hammer: Where’s the clue?
Boomerang: There! Over there by that airship!
We see a shot of the imposing ship.
Hammer: Haha! Come on!
*Riiiiiip*
Hammer: Oh, yeah! “Board this Airship!”
Phil: Teams must now board this Airship and ride it into the skies. These Airships, an integral part of Bowser’s fleet, pose the biggest threat to enemies. Once the ship has reached an altitude of 5000m, they will receive their next clue.
Hammer: Boardin’ the Airship, baby!
Boomerang: Awesome! I love these things!
They step onto the ship.
Hammer: Hey! What up?
Rocky Wrench: Airship departs at 700 hours!
Hammer: 7:00 AM? Really?
Boomerang: Aww… Everyone’s gonna catch up.
Hammer: Yup…
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raz: Wait for
us!
Hammer: Stop running. It’s a bottleneck.
Raz: Aw, boo!
Raini: That stinls a lot.
*Riiiiiiiip*
Brighton/Twila
-- Best Friends –
10:15 PM
Brighton: “…to
find your next clue.”
Twila: Great! Let’s go!
***Brighton: We’re the best of friends, so we won’t fight. We know exactly how to not get on one another’s nerves.
***Twila: That’s sure to help us out!
Twila: Let’s win this leg!
Brighton: Hahaha!
…
*Riiiiiiiip*
Birdo/Mouser
-- Partners/Best Friends –
10:23 PM
Birdo: Oh good!
We can leave his body.
Mouser: Heh! I bet Bowser’s happy about that.
Birdo: Who wants to have 12 teams running around inside you?!
***Birdo: Other than being constantly mistaken for male, nothing really stresses me out. I can be calm and collected and I know how to focus on the task at hand.
***Mouser: Yeah, she’s pretty cool. Her strengths combined with mine are sure to win the race.
Mouser: Come on, dude!
Birdo: Don’t push it.
*Riiiiiiiiiip*
Big Boo/Big
Blue Boo -- Ghosts –
10:28 PM
Big Boo: All
right! Let’s go catch up!
***Blue Boo: We’re a little bit behind on this leg. We got lost once, but it’s all right. We’ll bounce back. We can’t lose, and everyone knows that.
***Big Boo: Heh… Unstoppable!
…
*Riiiiiiiiiiiip*
Flurrie/Doopliss
-- Actress/Actor – 10:35 PM
Flurrie: It’s
time to leave this foul body!
Doopliss: Tell me about it…
***Flurrie: Yeah, we got a bit lost. It’s okay! Any minor setbacks are nothing.
***Doopliss: I’m probably the strongest one here mentally! I’ll outwit them all!
Doopliss: Well, come ON! Hurry up!
*Riiiiiiip*
Chanterelle/Toadofsky
-- Singer/Composer –
10:41 PM
Chanterelle:
Ah! We can leave!
Toadofsky: Good.
***Chanterelle: Last leg…we placed third-to-last. It was kind of a disappointment… But all we have to do is try harder.
***Toadofsky: Yeah. We haven’t yet revealed our true strengths. And we’ll leave the other teams crying in the dust.
Toadofsky: Onward to victory!
…
…
*Riiiiiiiip*
Kroop/Dour
-- Mayors –
11:01 PM
Kroop: Well…let’s
go then!
Dour: Yup…
***Kroop: I still
have no idea how we ended up in last place! I really don’t get it! When
did we fall behind?
***Dour: *sigh*
Kroop: I’ll betcha all the teams are waiting!
Dour: I sure hope so, or we’re finished…
…
AIRSHIP TAKE-OFF
All the teams
step on excitedly.
Hammer: Here we go!
Bombette: I’m so excited!
Twila: All riiiight! Here we go!
The airship takes off.
…
The classic airship theme plays as the ship flies through the starry upper atmosphere.
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raz: Wow! Pretty
awesome, eh?
Raini: This is super cool!
Bombette/Bruce
-- Newly Dating
Bombette: The
stars are beautiful!
Bruce: Yeah…
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Eh, seen
it all before.
Boomerang: Heh…
A Rocky Wrench walks up and delivers a clue to each team.
Everyone: Thanks!
*Riiiiip* *Riiiiiiiiip* *Riiiiiiip*
Chanterelle: Okay! Detour!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams will find out what it’s like to work aboard the airship. They will take on one of the major defences utilised here. They’ll choose between Deliver, and Return to Sender. In Deliver, teams will make their way to this deck, where they will find a collection of cannonballs. They must use this tray to pick up and deliver 30 of these extremely heavy cannonballs to the opposite end of the ship and these cannons. Once they’re all accounted for, teams will receive their next clue. In Return to Sender, teams will go to this area where a Rocky Wrench will show them how to perfectly throw a wrench. If teams can master the technique and gain the approval of their guides, they will receive their next clue.
Broque
Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Monsieur: I believe
we should learn to zrow zee wrenches, no?
Madame: Oui, zat is so much better zan carrying ‘eavy balls!
Monsieur: D’accord! Let’s go! (Okay!)
Bombette/Bruce
-- Newly Dating
Bruce: Umm…I
guess we’ll throw the wrenches.
Bombette: Yeah. We can’t really carry anything…
Chanterelle/Toadofsky
-- Singer/Composer
Chanterelle:
Do you want to throw wrenches?
Toadofsky: Sounds like fun! Come on!
Kroop/Dour
-- Mayors
Kroop: Who’s
doing this Roadblock?.
Dour: *shakes head* We’ll throw wrenches. Return to Sender.
Kroop: Me? Okay!
Flurrie/Doopliss
-- Actress/Actor
Flurrie: Do you
really want to lift cannonballs?
Doopliss: We only have to carry them from one side of the ship to the other. Don’t worry, I’ll transform into someone strong!
Flurrie: All right, fine, we’ll do Deliver.
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raz: Come on!
We’ll do the wrenches!
Raini: Yeah. It can’t be too hard, right?
Raz: Sure! Let’s go!
Brighton/Twila
-- Best Friends
Brighton: Hmmm…
Twila: Come! We’ll lift cannonballs. It’s not too far.
Brighton: I guess so…
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Hmm…I’d
like to lift the cannonballs, ‘cus we’re so strong.
Boomerang: Yeah, but we’re so good at throwing things. It’s probably just like a boomerang.
Hammer: Okay. We’ll give Return to Sender a try.
Birdo/Mouser
-- Partners/Best Friends
Brido: Let’s
go lift the cannonballs.
Mouser: Yeah. We’ll use our strength!
Big Boo/Big
Blue Boo -- Ghosts
Big Boo: Wrenches?
Blue Boo: Fine.
*Camera Shift*
Flurrie/Doopliss
-- Actress/Actor
Flurrie: Right
here?
Doopliss: Woah! That’s a lot of cannonballs!
Flurrie: Yeah. We’d better get started!
Brighton/Twila
-- Best Friends
Brighton: Oh
my.
Twila: Here. Put some in the tray.
Brighton: Uugghhh…These are heavy.
Twila: Just keep going. We’ll work at our own pace. If we fall behind, then we’ll excel at the Roadblock.
Brighton: Okay.
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raz: This is
the spot!
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Pick
a guide!
Boomerang: Hey! Show us! Please!
Chanterelle/Toadofsky
-- Singer/Composer
Rocky: You’re
going to want to twist it as you throw.
Chanterelle: Like this?
Rocky: Twist your hand more.
Broque
Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Rocky: And when
it flies away, it must remain parallel to the ground.
Madame: So, eet can’t tilt?
Rocky: No.
Kroop/Dour
-- Mayors
Rocky: And if
you can stick either of the pointed ends into that target so that the wrench
is at a 90° angle, you will get your next clue.
Dour: Ummm…Okay…
Bombette/Bruce
-- Newly Dating
Bruce: Doesn’t
sound too hard…
Bombette: It’s gonna be harder for us…
***Bruce: We don’t have arms, so we had to throw using our wicks…It didn’t really matter though, because we couldn’t lift anyway…
Bruce: Ya!
Bombette: No, you gotta spin it more.
Bruce: Hm…
Birdo/Mouser
-- Partners/Best Friends
Birdo: Are we
only allowed to use the tray? Can we carry them ourselves too?
Mouser: I think so, but you’re gonna need both your hands to carry the tray, so how’re you-
Birdo puts three cannonballs in her snout.
Mouser: Oh………..You disgust me.
Birdo: What?!
Both: ……….
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Boomerang: C’mon,
man! It’s easy! Just do it!
***Hammer: For the wrench task, we both had to throw one properly. Boomerang Bro. got it easily, but I was having a little trouble.
Hammer: These aren’t like hammers! Give me a sec!
*Thunder claps*
Broque
Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Madame: Oh mon
dieu!! C’est un storm! (Oh my gosh! It’s a storm!)
Monsieur: Worry not! We will be safe from zee lightning!
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raini: Uugghhhh…
Raz: You okay?
Raini: Yeah… Keep practicing.
***Raini: The ship swayed in the wind. I got a bit of motion sickness.
***Raz: She was a trooper! She kept going!
Raini: Okay, let’s see!
She throws a wrench and it spins perfectly.
Raini: Yes!
It bounces off the target and flops to the ground.
Raini: Aww…
Raz: Nice try! Keep trying!
Raini: We’ll get this…
Birdo/Mouser
-- Partners/Best Friends
Mouser: Don’t
choke on those, dude!
Birdo: Shaddup and stop calling me dude!
Mouser: *sigh* Whatever. C’mon! We’re almost done!
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Boomerang: Wait,
wait, wait. Try pulling your hand back this way. No, no, like this. Then
snap your wrist.
Hammer: *throws* Oh, man! I almost had it!
Boomerang: It’s kinda like throwing a Frisbee!
Chanterelle/Toadofsky
-- Singer/Composer
Chanterelle:
Very good! You got it!
Toadofsky: Thanks! It’s not too hard. You try it.
Chanterelle: Mine keeps flipping!
Toadofsky: It’s all in the wrist!
Brighton/Twila
-- Best Friends
Brighton: Ughh…Keep
going!
***Twila: The cannonballs were much heavier than we anticipated. We got pretty tired.
***Brighton: But we didn’t give up! We kept doing our very best!
Twila: Go… Just go…
Kroop/Dour
-- Mayors
Kroop: Yeah!
I got it!
Dour: No…no, you didn’t. You just…threw it straight up.
Kroop: That’s not what we’re supposed to do?!
Dour: …………No… Ugh…
Big Boo/Big
Blue Boo -- Ghosts
Big Boo: C’mon!
Ughh…I messed it up again.
Blue Boo: Do it right! I got it on the first try!
Big Boo: I’m trying!
Blue Boo: *sigh*
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Wait…wait…
Oh, I think I got it now!
Boomerang: Give it a whirl!
Hammer: … Ya!
*Fwoosh* *Smack*
Hammer: Oh! Oh, yeah! That’s good, right?
Rocky: Congratulations! Very good.
Hammer: Oh, yeah! I got it!
Boomerang: Great job!
Rocky: Here’s your next clue!
Hammer: Thanks a lot!
*Riiiiiiiiiiip*
Hammer: Roadblock…
Phil: (Standing on the bow with the wind obscuring his voice) A Roadblock is a task that only one person may perform! And no person may do more than 6 on the entire race! In this Roadblock, teams will have to pilot this immense airship…and find the Pit Stop. They will be given a rudimentary map and instructions on how to pilot the ship. They must safely manoeuvre the ship to the Pit Stop, where they will be able to check in. Since only one person may drive the ship at a time, teams must form a queue. However, if teams reach the wrong location, take too long, or perform an unsafe action, they will forfeit their place in line and must try again. The last team to accomplish this…may be eliminated.
Hammer: Who’s ready to take command?
Boomerang: You are!
Hammer: All right! Le’s do this!
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raz: Aw, man…
They’re done already.
Bombette/Bruce
-- Newly Dating
Bruce: Are you
kidding me?
***Raz: We aren’t exactly fond of the Bros. They’re very strong and very competitive. They’re definitely a team to be worried about.
Raz: C’mon, hon! We can do this!
Broque
Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Monsieur: Ah,
oui! Tu ‘ave done eet! Bon travail! (Ah, yes! You have done it! Good job!)
Madame: Ah! Merci! We can get our clue now!
Rocky: Good job!
*Riiiiiiiip*
Monsieur: Roadblock… I will do zis one!
Madame: D’accord! (Okay!)
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raz: Uugghhh!
This is nonsense! Come on, hon!
Raini: I’m trying! I’m trying!
Raz: You gotta try a little harder!
Raini: *sigh* Okay… All right… Let’s do this right!
Birdo/Mouser
-- Partners/Best Friends
Mouser: Are we
almost done?
Birdo: *Pwaa* Yes, I think we only need to carry one more load.
Mouser: Well, come on! Let’s get going!
Birdo: I’m right behind you!
***Mouser: The cannonballs task wasn’t too much of a hassle. We got it done pretty quickly. The other teams doing this Detour weren’t doing so well, though…
Brighton/Twila
-- Best Friends
Twila: Just a…second…
I need…to rest…
Brighton: Me too… This is tough.
***Brighton: It became increasingly evident that we had chosen the wrong Detour. However, we were already half done, so we decided to keep at it.
***Twila: Yeah. Switching would’ve just wasted a lot of time.
Both: *panting*
Bombette/Bruce
-- Newly Dating
Bruce: Yes!
Bombette: You finally got it!
***Bruce: It took some practice, but we were soon masters of the wrench!
Bombette: Woo! Good job, Brucy!
Bruce: Ahhh! Don’t call me that! You know it drives me crazy!
*Riiiiiiip*
Bruce: Roadblock.
Bombette: I’ll do it.
Bruce: You sure?
Bombette: Yes. Let’s go.
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raz: Uuuggghh…
We’re falling behind…
BOW
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Boomerang: All
right, buddy! Listen carefully and do it right the first time!
Boomerang Bro, Broque Monsieur, and Bombette are all getting a lesson.
***Boomerang: I have to admit, I was a little nervous. I knew that if I failed, we’d be waaaay far back.
Boomerang: Gotta do it right….
Big Boo/Big
Blue Boo -- Ghosts
Big Boo: Uuuuggghhh!
How’d you go it?!
Blue Boo: You gotta twist your body a little bit too!
Big Boo: Whaddaya mean?!
Blue Boo: Ughh…
Birdo/Mouser
-- Partners/Best Friends
Birdo: Done!
Mouser: Hooaaahhh! Yeah!
***Mouser: Yeah. Now the other teams will know how strong we are!
Mouser: Good job, dude!
Birdo: Shut up!
*Riiiiiiiip*
Birdo: Roadblock…
Mouser: You wanna do this one?
Birdo: I think I can handle it!
Mouser: Good luck!
…
Rocky: All right, you’re first up!
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: A’ight!
Let’s do this
Rocky: Here is your map…and we are currently… *points* here.
Hammer: Okay…Hmm…
***Hammer: My plan was to just follow the compass until I got close, and then figure out where the Pit Stop is.
Hammer: All right. *grabs the wheel*
Everyone: WAAHH!
Bombette: Dude! Careful!
Hammer: Sorry everyone! Okay… Let’s do this right the first time…
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raini: Ughh…
*sigh*
Raz: Wait! Wait! Stop…stop, I think I see what you’re doing wrong.
Raini: Hm?
Raz: No, no…hold it down…here. *adjusts her arm* And then act…like you’re Karate-chopping a guy in the gut.
Raini: *snickers* What?
Raz: Just do it! Haha!
***Raini: Raz is funny, he makes me laugh. Whenever I do something wrong, he’s very good at making sure he doesn’t upset me.
Raz: Okay! Throw!
Raini: Ha!
…
*SMACK*
Raz: You did it!
Raini: I did?! I did! Yes!
Raz: Come on! Let’s go!
*Riiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Raz: Roadblock.
Raini: Me!
Raz: R’ini’s doing it!
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Okay…
Smoooooooth sailin’…
***Hammer: How the Roadblock worked…everyone who was waiting in line had to wait in the hold.
Hammer: Yeaahhh…Okay, time to look for the…the place.
***Hammer: So no one could figure out the location ahead of time.
Hammer: It looks like…looks like the Pit Stop is somewhere in the ocean… Hmmm…
The ship dips below the clouds.
Hammer: Okay, let’s not crash the ship, now…
Big Boo/Big
Blue Boo -- Ghosts
Blue Boo: That’s
good! That’s good, we got it!
Big Boo: It didn’t stick!
Blue Boo: It stuck for like half a second and then it fell off! That’s good, right?
Rocky: Very well. Here’s your clue.
*Riiiiiiiiiip*
Big Boo: A Roadblock…
Blue Boo: You’d better do this one. You can probably command something…
Big Boo: Okay!
Chanterelle/Toadofsky
-- Singer/Composer
Toadofsky: Oh
man! They’re done!
Chanterelle: Don’t worry! Nya!
*SMACK*
Toadofsky: Oh, nice! You got it!
Chanterelle: Finally!

Chanterelle: I’ll do this Roadblock.
Toadofsky: Okay!
Brighton/Twila

Brighton: Uughh…There!
We’re done!

Brighton: But we did it! Be proud of us for that!
Twila: Yeah…
*Riiiiiiiiip*
Twila: I’ll do it.
Brighton: Okay! C’mon! Let’s go catch up!
Flurrie/Doopliss
-- Actress/Actor
Flurrie: Come
on! Break a leg!
Doopliss: This is HARD!!!
***Doopliss: We were one of the last two teams there! I can’t tell you how much that stunk!
***Flurrie: Oh, we were pretty frustrated.
Kroop/Dour -- Mayors
Kroop: C’mon… We have to…hustle…
Dour: Yes, we do. Now come on! Do it right!
Kroop: I AM doing it right! You do it right!
Dour: You’ve got it backwards, dummy!
*Camera Shift*
*Airship music*
*A camera on
the water catches the ship as it descends*
*The camera zooms
all the way into Hammer Bro. at the helm*
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Hahahahaaa!
We’re almost there! Just gotta watch the compass now…Make sure we get the
location correct!
Flurrie/Doopliss
-- Actress/Actor
Doopliss: Ughh….huff….There……we’re….we’re
done…
Flurrie: We shouldn’t’ve picked that one.
Doopliss: Agreed….I’m…just glad it’s over now.
Flurrie: Me too!
*Riiiiiiiiiip*
Doopliss: Roadblock…
Flurrie: Your turn.
Doopliss: Okay! I’ll do it!
Kroop/Dour

Dour: Oh, my….Now

Kroop: Hup!
Dour: You did it wrong again…
Kroop: Hmmm…
Dour: We’re out. We’re definitely out.
***Dour: We were sure we were gonna be eliminated. Absolutely positive…
Both: ……
Hammer
Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Looks
like I’m getting close! Comin’ in for a landing!!!
The camera points off the bow, showing the Mushroom Kingdom Airport approaching in the distance.
Hammer: Is that the Pit Stop?
Rocky: Congratulations. That’s correct. All you have to do is safely land the ship in the water.
Hammer: Okay…….
***Hammer: Landing the ship wasn’t too hard. You just had to stop moving forward and let it sink slowly….
Hammer: Okay!
The boats rocks and splashes a bit.
Hammer: Ack…okay! We’re there!
Rocky: Good job.
Boomerang: You did it!
Hammer: C’mon! Let’s go!
They step off the dock and onto the small, isolated island that is MKA.
Hammer: There’s Phil!
As they run towards the mat, the ship behind them suddenly disappears.
Hammer: Whoa!
Boomerang: I guess it’s going back to where it started.
They step on the mat.
Boom Boom: WAUGH! Welcome!!!
Phil: Hammer Bro. & Boomerang Bro.? Congratulations! Once again, you are team number one!!!
Hammer: All right!!!
Boomerang: Woo! We did it!
Phil: Now, I have some good news for you. As the winners of this leg of the race, you have each won three free flights for two to anywhere in the world, compliments of MKA.
Hammer: Wow! Cool!
Boomerang: That’s pretty awesome!
Hammer: Well, we made it first again!
Boomerang: Yeah! Good job, man!
Hammer: I just hope that our good fortune will continue, and we’ll use our strengths to win the race!
Boomerang: Yup!

Rocky: Be careful.
Monsieur: Ah, worry not! I will not ‘urt zis ship!

Monsieur: Okay! Forward!
There is a slight lurch, then the ship flies ahead.
HOLD
Raz/Raini
-- Newlyweds
Raini: Hmmm…
***Raini: As I was sitting in the hold waiting for my turn, I was paying attention. I was trying to feel which way people were driving the ship. I thought that might come in handy…
Bombette/Bruce

Bombette: I’m
