The Amazing Race MK III

By Giga Bowser NS

Episode 3
Title: They must’ve thought I was talking in Klingon…
 

Phil: Previously on… The Amazing Race MK:

Phil: Ten teams set off from the insides of Bowser’s Body and boarded a magnificent Airship. They were faced with hardships as they completed their tasks high in the sky. Teams who chose to carry cannonballs soon found that they had chosen the wrong task.

Twila: We…definitely chose the wrong task…

Phil: As they approached the Roadblock, they discovered that they would get a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly the grand ship.

Chanterelle: Ahhh! This is nice!

Toadofsky: This is a real pleasant trip!

Phil: When faced with this obstacle, some teams crumbled under the pressure.

Rocky: I’m sorry, but you’ll have to try again.

Phil: And arguments sparked.

Birdo: I thought it was safe, but apparently it wasn’t!

Mouser: It’s common sense!

Birdo: SHUT UP!!!

Phil: In the end, Brighton & Twila had fallen behind and couldn’t recover. They were eliminated. Now…nine teams remain. Who will be eliminated…next?

The opening plays with a Red “X” over Brighton & Twila.

Phil: This is the Mushroom Kingdom Airport! Built in 1992, this Airport is situated on a secluded island in the middle of the ocean, and serves as a central junction for all of the Mushroom Kingdom’s flights! It was also the second 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. The nine teams waiting here have no idea what’s in store for them. They have to figure out for themselves how to get to the next yellow and red route marker by solving clues they will find in sealed envelopes. Hammer Bro. & Boomerang Bro., who arrived first…will depart…at 8:43 PM.

*Riiiiiiiip*

Hammer: Fly to the Beanbean Kingdom! Wow!

Phil: Teams must now fly more than 1,500 miles to the neighboring Beanbean Kingdom. When they land, they will hire a taxi and make their way to Beanbean Castle, where they will receive their next clue from Queen Bean.

Hammer: All right, let’s get started then!

***Hammer: With two first place finishes under our shells, we feel we might have a target on our backs…

***Boomerang: But, you know, it’s nothing too big. We’re the strongest ones here and we can succeed. At anything! Anything!

Hammer: I suppose we should start asking about flights.

Boomerang: We should check Beanbean Air…

Hammer: Hi, do you have a flight to Beanbean Airport today?

Goombob: Yes, we have one departing at 9:30.

Hammer: And is that your quickest flight?

Goombob: It’s the quickest flight to the Beanbean Kingdom.

Hammer: Okay, good.

Boomerang: If we were to miss it…what’s the next option?

Goombob: We have a flight at 11:00 to the Beanbean Kingdom. No other airline flies directly there.

Hammer: Cool.

Boomerang: Some of the teams are going to catch up, but from the looks of it, not many will.

*Tickets print*

Hammer: Thank you!

*Riiiiiiiiiiiip*
Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple, 8:54 PM

Monsieur: Le Royaume de Beanbean? (The Beanbean Kingdom?)

Madame: Ah, we ‘ad better get going!

***Monsieur: Eef we were to go to a place where zey speak zee Français, zen we would ‘ave an advantage!

***Madame: Unfortunately, not many places do.

Monsieur: Zere are zee Bros.

Madame: Get behind zem in line.

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Thanks for everything, bye bye!

They walk away.

Hammer: With any luck, they’ll be the only ones with us. Raz and what’s her face might make it if they rush…

Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Monsieur: Merci!

Madame: We are on zee flight!

*Riiiiiiiiiip*
Raz/Raini -- Newlyweds, 9:15 PM
Raz: Awesome! Totally awesome!

Raini: C’mon, we’d better hurry and get seats!

Hammer Bro, Boomerang Bro, Broque Monsieur and Broque Madame are boarding the plane.

Raz: Hi! What’s your quickest flight to Beanbean?

Goombob: Our 9:30 flight is about to leave.

Raz: We need tickets!

Raini: Please, sir, please! We HAVE to get on that flight!

Goombob: You might not make it.

Raz: We don’t care, we’ll run!

The plane’s engines are powering up as tickets get printed.

Raz: Oh boy, this is cutting it close.

Raini: Stop talking and run!

The other two teams are looking smugly at one another.

Raz: My little legs can’t run this fast!

Raini: The gates are gonna close any second!

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: They’re not here.

Boomerang: Of course. RIGHT when you say that.

Raz/Raini -- Newlyweds
They step on the plane.

Raz: Hi!

Hammer: Hi…

Raz: Well! What’re we waiting for? Let’s go!

First Flight - Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro., Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame, Raz/Raini

...
*Riiiiiiiiiip*
Big Boo/Big Blue Boo -- Ghosts, 9:25 PM
Big Boo: Oooh, boy! Da Beanbean Kingdom!

Blue Boo: Let’s hurry and get a flight!

***Big Boo: Our strategy is to simply focus on the task at hand and get it done.

***Blue Boo: We’re probably not going to be too concerned with the other teams or what they’re doing.

At the Beanbean Air Desk…

Blue Boo: You have absolutely nothing until 11:00?!

Beanie: That is correct.

Big Boo: Dang! Everyone’s gonna catch up!

*Riiiiiiiiiiip*
Chanterelle/Toadofsky -- Singer/Composer, 9:33 PM
Chanterelle: Ooh! This should be fun!

Toadofsky: I’ve never been there! It sounds like a weird place.

***Chanterelle: We’re flowing with the race. We’re not trying too hard to get first place yet, because there’s too many people. We’re just letting the race take us with it.

Toadofsky: Two tickets please!

*Riiiiip*
Flurrie/Doopliss -- Actress/Actor, 9:40 PM
Flurrie: Let’s get going, Doop!

Doopliss: Don’t call me that. It makes me sound like an idiot!

Flurrie: Right… ”Like”…

***Flurrie: If we ever get into a jam, then it’ll be a simple task of getting some locals to help us out! I mean, when you’re as stunningly gorgeous as me, people simply BEG to help you out!

***Doopliss: She needs a reality check.

Flurrie: That’s quite a long wait, isn’t it?

*Riiiiiiiiiiiip*
Kroop/Dour -- Mayors, 9:48 PM
Kroop: Leeeeeeeeet’s get a move on!

Dour: Sure… whatever.

***Dour: I have no idea how we’re still in the race. Seriously, how is this possible?

***Kroop: It’s the power of seniors!

***Dour: More like senility!

Kroop: Where’s the Fast Forward at?

Dour: Ugh…

*Riiiip*
Bombette/Bruce -- Newly Dating, 9:55 PM
Bombette: Well, let’s get a move on!

Bruce: This is gonna be fun! Such an exotic location!

***Bombette: We’re having fun! I think that’s the most important thing on this race! It’s to have fun!

***Bruce: Yeah! We’re havin’ all sorts of fun!

Bombette: 11 PM?! We’re gonna be so far behind the others!

Bruce: Yeah. And now we’re basically tied for last place.

*Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Birdo/Mouser -- Partners/Best Friends, 10:03 PM
Birdo: Ooooh! I went there once!

Mouser: When?

Birdo: The same time Mario went there! I met this GORGEOUS man named Popple!

Mouser: Reeeeally?

Birdo: He was so dreamy!

Mouser: ……….

***Mouser: We’re leaving in last place.

***Birdo: But that’s no problem! We’re gonna get on a flight and then we’ll catch up to everyone!

*Tickets print*

Mouser: All right!

Birdo: Well…this is it! Let’s get going!

*Shots of all the teams waiting to get on the plane*

*…except for one…*

Kroop/Dour -- Mayors
Dour: All right, we’re in big trouble…

***Dour: We were just about to buy our tickets when we noticed something.

Dour: ……..No…I don’t have it.

***Dour: Someone had lost our race credit card that we’re supposed to use to buy airline tickets.

Kroop: I swear! I didn’t touch it!

***Dour: So we had to go back to our lodgings where we spent the night. I finally found the dang thing after, like, an hour of searching.

Dour: You idiot! It’s right here!

Kroop: But…

***Dour: But by the time we got back…

Beanie: I’m sorry, but there are no seats left!

***Dour: …it was too late…

*Fade to a plane taking off*

Raz: There it is! The Broques are there!

Raini: Get in line!

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: C’mon! Follow me!

Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Madame: Wait for us!

Monsieur: Oui! What a beautiful… um… crown…

Queen: Here’re your clues!

*Riiiiiiiip* *Riiiiiiiiiiiiiip*

Hammer: Roadblock…

Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one person may perform, and no one can do more than six on the race. In this Roadblock, teams will experience the beautiful countryside of the Beanbean Kingdom. While their partner waits for them here at the castle, the chosen team member must complete a relay using Beanbean taxis. First, they will pick up a special designer shirt from this place: Harhall’s Studio. Then, they must travel to the Yoshi Theater and deliver the shirt. In exchange, they will receive their next clue.

Hammer: Who’s got money to spare?

Boomerang: Ummm…

Hammer: I’ll do it.

Boomerang: A’ight!

Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Madame: Eet ees time for me to do one!

Monsieur: Good luck!

Raz/Raini -- Newlyweds
Raz: Let’s hurry!

Raini: They’re beating us! Come on! Get out of the car!

*Riiiiiiiiiiip*

Raz: Roadblock…

Raini: Ummm… Me!

Raz: Okay, good luck!

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Okay, let’s read this and make sure we do it right… Okay, it says we can’t use the taxi we used to get here. We must hire one from Castle Town.

Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Madame: Taxi! Taxi!

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners

Hammer: Now to find another one…

Raz/Raini -- Newlyweds
Raini: Thank you! *oays* Oy… Where are the taxis?!

*Camera shift*
Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Madame: Okay! We need to find zis place. ‘ar’all’s studio!

Cabbie: Um, s’cuse me?

Madame: *shows the clue* ‘ar’all’s studio!

Cabbie: Oh, Harhall. Why didn’t you say so?!

Madame: …

*Vroooom*

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Taxi! Taxii!!!!

Cabbie: No.

Hammer: Aww, he’s taken! Come on!

Raz/Raini -- Newlyweds
Raini: Are you a taxi?

Cabbie: Hop in!

Raini: We need to go to Harhall’s Studio!

Cabbie: Right away!

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: Aww, man! They both got one! TAXI!!!

Boomerang: What are you doing, man?!

Hammer: Looking for a taxi!

Boomerang: Right there!

Hammer: Oh… Hi! To Harhall’s Studio, please!!!

Cabbie: Certainly!

Hammer: How much will that cost?

Cabbie: Uhhhh…. Should be… about 70 coins.

Hammer: How much in Mushroom Coins?

Cabbie: Mushroom Coins?! We don’t accept Mushroom Coins here! In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in the Beanbean Kingdom, mister!

Hammer: Wh…what do you mean? The taxi I took earlier accepted Mushroom Coins!

Cabbie: Well, he shouldn’t’ve!

Hammer: But…

Cabbie: Look, bud. Here in the Beanbean Kingdom, we ONLY accept Beanbean Coins, so… go get some!

Hammer: This... Oh, my gosh….

***Hammer: I got this feeling of dread… deep in my stomach. This was a HUGE mistake.

Boomerang (distant) What’s the problem?!

***Hammer: The only thing I could do was go back to my partner so we could figure out what to do…

Hammer: He says he won’t take Mushroom Coins!

Boomerang: What?! Why not?!

Hammer: You can’t use Mushroom Coins here!

Boomerang: But that other taxi…

Hammer: He was just being nice, I guess…He wasn’t supposed to.

Both: …

Boomerang: What do we do?

Hammer: We have to get back to the airport! We have to change our money!

Boomerang: Couldn’t we go to a bank or ask someone?

Hammer: The cabbie told me that banks don’t exchange money. The only places are the airport and Stardust Fields, which is too far away.

Boomerang: Well, I have to wait here. You’re doing a Roadblock. Just… get going! The other flight isn’t here yet, so hopefully we won’t fall too far behind!

Hammer: All right…

He returns to the taxi.

Hammer: All right, dude, can you take me to the Airport? When we get there, I’ll exchange money and pay you.

Cabbie: Eeeeeeeeeeehhhh… All right. Hop in.

Hammer: Thank you so much!

***Hammer: So I just had to go… pick up the pieces and go…


Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple

Raz/Raini -- Newlyweds
Raini: Aw, man! Come on! Can you go faster?

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: …

***Hammer: I had actually read in some guidebook about them only taking Beanbean coins, but when that first taxi accepted Mushroom coins I kinda forgot about it.

Hammer: Uugghh…

***Hammer: I mean, I had to go to the airport, spend forever changing all of our money, and then I had to go back to Castle Town to start the Roadblock again.

Hammer: Just go quickly, please. I’m losin’ time here!

He drives off in a different taxi as the camera shifts to Boomerang Bro.

Hammer: Can’t you go faster?

Cabbie: I won’t break the law.

Hammer: …

Bombette/Bruce -- Newly Dating
Bombette: Can you pass him? Try to pass him!

Hammer Bro./Boomerang Bro. -- Partners
Hammer: The theater is 5 minutes away? Okay…

Hammer: Someone’s behind me! Oh, gosh!

Bombette/Bruce -- Newly Dating

*Musical Transition*
Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Madame: Zis ees zee entrance to zee desert!

Raz/Raini -- Newlyweds
Raz: Don’t lose them! We gotta beat them at the Detour!

Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Monsieur: D’accord! I see zee clue! Come! (Okay!)

Both teams scramble out and get to the clue box.

Raz: Wow…

*Riiiiiiiiiiiip*

Raz: … It’s hot!

Raini: Detour!

Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons!

*High speed shots of the desert wasteland*

Phil: In this Detour, there are only two choices: Wrap or Rappel. In Wrap, teams must learn how to properly wrap the traditional turban onto a Gritty Goomba. If the Gritty Goomba is satisfied with their work, he will tell them their next clue… in Arabic. This task is much simpler. However, writing down the verbal Arabic clue will not be easy. In Rappel, teams will find this pipe leading underground, and must rappel down it. Once at the bottom, they will find their clue in written form. While this clue is also in Arabic, it is written out clearly and getting a translation will be much easier.

Broque Monsieur/Broque Madame -- Separated Couple
Monsieur: We must rappel down zat pipe? Oh, zat ees a thin pipe!

Madame: We should do zee ozer one.

Monsieur: But… Oh, all right.

Raz/Raini -- Newlyweds
Raz: Oh, of course we’ll Rappel! That’s fine!

Raini: All right! If you say so! Let’s go!

***Hammer: We were grateful to be in fourth, because we knew we had a problem.

***Boomerang: We were very low on cash….

***Hammer: But we were saved from elimination THIS time, so that’s good.

Flurrie/Doopliss -- Actress/Actor
Flurrie: Wait, Doop! We need to figure out what this says!

Doopliss: I already asked someone! C’mon!

Flurrie: What?

***Flurrie: We’re not working entirely the best that we could be. Sometimes he thinks he’s on a team of one…

Flurrie: Don’t leave me behind!

***Doopliss: Luckily, I asked this one guy and he knew the way!

Big Boo/Big Blue Boo -- Ghosts
Blue Boo: *More jarbled Arabic*

***Big Boo: Yeah, that didn’t work out so well…

***Blue Boo: They must’ve thought I was talking in Klingon…

Big Boo: Wait, wait, enough of this. Follow us. We’ll get the guy to say it again, Blue.

Blue Boo: I suppose that would work better…

Big Boo: C’mon!


*Riiiiiiiip*
Chanterelle/Toadofsky -- Singer/Composer
Chanterelle: Detour…

***Toadofsky: We decided to do the rappel… We were a little scared, but we knew it’d be quicker.

*Riiiiiiiip*
Birdo/Mouser -- Partners/Best Friends
Birdo: *sigh* Detour…

Mouser: Let’s… let’s do the rappelling. You can handle that, right?

Birdo: Sure, fine…


Phil: Flurrie & Doopliss… You’re team number five!
Flurrie/Doopliss -- Actress/Actor
Flurrie: Oh, excellent, darling! Excellent!

Doopliss: Five’s pretty good! We still made it, and that’s the important thing!

Big Boo/Big Blue Boo -- Ghosts
Big Boo: Here! Here, say it again, please!

***Blue Boo: We ended up bringing this dude from the desert over to the Gritty Goomba

Blue Boo: Okay, you know now? Okay! Let’s go!

Birdo/Mouser -- Partners/Best Friends
Birdo: C’monnnn! Man, you’re slow!

Mouser: Shut up! I’m going as fast as I can!

Birdo: Well, it’s not fast enough, so c’mon!

Mouser: Uuuggghhhh…

Chanterelle/Toadofsky -- Singer/Composer
Chanterelle: Okay, we need someone to translate this…

Toadofsky: Got it. Let’s go!

Big Boo/Big Blue Boo -- Ghosts
Big Boo: He said this way, right?

Blue Boo: Look! I see Phil! C’mon!!!

They fly over to the mat.

Phil: … Big Boo & Big Blue Boo…? You’re team number six!

Big Boo: All riiiiiight!

Blue Boo: Excellent job!

Big Boo: That… was a tough leg… But we made it!

Birdo/Mouser -- Partners/Best Friends
Mouser: Okay, we got the clue, now what?

***Birdo: We had gotten the clue and returned to the surface. When we got up there, Chanty and Toady were already running away. We figured that the best thing to do would probably be to follow them.

Chanterelle/Toadofsky -- Singer/Composer
Chanterelle: This is the way! C’mon, ‘sky!

Toadofsky: That dude sounded pretty sure of himself! This must be the right way!

Birdo/Mouser -- Partners/Best Friends
Mouser: Don’t lose them!

Birdo: I won’t, if you HURRY UP!

Chanterelle/Toadofsky -- Singer/Composer
Chanterelle: They’re following us! I can’t believe it!

Toadofsky: Well, c’mon! We’ll still beat them!

Birdo & Mouser catch up and they both step on the mat at almost the same time.

All 4: *panting*

Phil: …

All 4: …

Phil: Chanterelle & Toadofsky… you’re team number seven!

Chanterelle/Toadofsky -- Singer/Composer
Chanterelle: All right! Very well done!

Toadofsky: Thanks a lot, Phil!

Phil: Birdo & Mouser, that would make you team number eight! Congratulations.

Birdo: Ugghhh…

Mouser: Thanks Phil…

***Mouser: We… ended up in second to last place… Not quite sure exactly how that happened…

***Birdo: But we made it, and that’s the important thing.

Chanterelle/Toadofsky -- Singer/Composer
Both: …

***Chanterelle: We basically did all of the work and they just copied us.

***Toadofsky: We weren’t too pleased that they just followed us to the Pit Stop.

***Chanterelle: We would’ve preferred that they just figure out the Arabic clue on their own…

*Shot of the sky as the sun sets… and rises…*

BEANBEAN AIRPORT
A plane lands.
*Door slam*
A taxi drives off.

Kroop/Dour -- Mayors
Dour: Oh, man…

Kroop: Well! We’re here! Enjoy the sights!

***Dour: We were so far behind that even Kroop realized that we were in last place.

Kroop: We could still catch up!

Dour: Right…

CASTLE TOWN
*Riiiiiiiip*
Dour: Take a taxi into Teehee Desert and find the elevator leading to Little Fungitown…

Kroop: Okay! We’re off on another adventure!

*Fade to the Pit Stop*

Dour: Oh, man…

Kroop: Here we are!

Phil: … Kroop & Dour… You’re the last team to arrive.

Dour: You’re kidding, Phil.

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

Kroop: Weeeeeeell… I guess it was bound to happen eventually.

Dour: We’re… probably a little too old for this race anyhoo…

Kroop: But we had fun! We suuuuuure did!

***Dour: The race taught me many things! It taught me how to have fun, and how to enjoy life. It’s gonna feel weird returning to gloomy ol’ Twilight Town now.

***Kroop: Ayup! I felt for sure we could win, but we didn’t. We just didn’t…

***Dour: And I suppose it was kinda expected.

***Kroop: But we had fun!

***Dour: Yeah. Lots of fun!
