Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
"Crap… U-Turned by CJ and Shaylene…" Yoshi said as they reached the railyard.
"Let's go find the desserts…" Jr said. "Back to the market."
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"What's left?" DK asked.
"Um…" Diddy compared what he was holding to their list. "Marshmallow Lakitu Clouds."
"That's it?" DK asked.
"That's it." Diddy replied.
"Sweet."
CJ (Shy Guy Railyard)
CJ looked down at two long rails, a bunch of railroad spikes, a mallet and a bunch of planks of wood. He reached down and picked up a railroad spike.
"I haven't held one of these in a while." He said.
"Being at the railyard and working to fix a stretch of rail was kind of surreal." CJ said (After-Leg). "As a kid, I was obsessed with trains and I wanted to be a conductor."
Athena & Janey / Kirby & MetaKnight
Janey cracked open a Buzzy as the Star Warrior's food was carried out to them. As Janey began picking the meat out of the Buzzy, Kirby inhaled the entire tray of food.
Shocked, the chef just stared.
"Do we get a clue?" MetaKnight asked.
"Oh! Yeah…" The chef said, handing over a clue.
"Travel on foot to Shy Guy Railyard. Caution: U-Turn Ahead." MetaKnight read.
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
The Yoshis approached the stall where they found their original clue.
"We need the list for the Fly Detour." Yoshi said. The Shy Guy handed them another piece of paper. Okay, this should be easy."
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
The Kongs ran up to a stall run by a Lakitu.
"Do you have Marshmallow Clouds?" DK asked.
"Do I?" The Lakitu asked. "They're my specialty! How many do you need?"
"10." Diddy said.
"You got it, dudes." The Lakitu said. "20 coins, please." DK handed over some coins and was given a small box of cloud-shaped marshmallows.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
The two reached the railyard and saw the U-Turn board.
"(At least it's not us.)" Kirby said. "(That's all we'd need.)"
MetaKnight grabbed the clue. "Roadblock… Who wants to become a Repair Guy?"
"(I'll do it.)" Kirby said.
"Are you sure you don't want to save your Roadblocks for any more eating challenges we might have?" MetaKnight asked.
"(I still have more after this.)" Kirby said.
"Okay. Good luck." MetaKnight said.
Athena & Janey: Engaged
"Almost… done…" Janey said, gagging.
"Note to self: No more eating challenges." Athena said, eating a chunk of Buzzy meat.
"Please."
CJ (Shy Guy Railyard)
CJ dropped the head of the hammer onto a spike, driving it into the ground.
"Just a few more." He said.
"Come on, dude! You got this!" Shaylene cheered. "Kirby's just getting here now! We're still ahead of almost everyone!"
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
The Yoshis ran up to the Piranha Plant stall.
"Excuse me, do you have these items?" Yoshi asked.
"I don't." The Piranha Plant said. "That tells you where to find all those things."
"It does?" Yoshi asked.
"Yeah. It's written on there in Shyglyphics. Here, I'll write down the translations."
Yoshi pulled out the other list. "Are these Shyglyphics too?"
"Yup."
"Of course." Yoshi said.
"So of course, we found out after we'd been U-Turned and were halfway through the second Detour that there was writing on the list telling us where to find everything."
Yoshi Jr said (After-Leg).
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"So I guess now we have to find the café." DK said.
Athena & Janey: Engaged
"Ugh… Finally." Janey said, swallowing the last bite of Buzzy. The chef walked over and handed a clue to Athena.
"Travel on foot to Shy Guy Railyard. Caution: U-Turn Ahead." Athena read.
CJ / Kirby (Shy Guy Railyard)
"Done!" CJ called out, as Kirby drove a spike into the ground. A Shy Guy walked over and examined the section of tracks in front of CJ.
"Good work." The Shy Guy said, holding out a clue.
CJ & Shaylene: Dating – Currently in 1st
"Proceed on foot to the Pit Stop: Shy Guy Fort. Warning: The last team to check in may be eliminated."
"Teams must now make their way on foot across Shy Guy City to the Shy Guy Fort. This 1500-year-old fort on the edge of the Mushroom Sea, which has withstood assaults
from the Koopa Army, the Beanbean Army and the feared pirate Cortez, is the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in here… may be eliminated."
"Pit Stop? Awesome! Let's go!" Shaylene said.
"It shouldn't be hard to find a giant stone fort on the water." CJ said.
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
"Hi, we need 10 Marshmallow Clouds." Yoshi said to a Lakitu.
"You got it. 20 coins please." The Lakitu said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"And Bingo was her name-o." Diddy said, as the Kongs stumbled across the café. They walked in, quickly found the chef and handed over the desserts.
"Here is your clue."
"Travel on foot to Shy Guy Railyard. Caution: U-Turn Ahead." DK read.
Athena & Janey: Engaged
"Good, the Yoshis got U-Turned." Athena said, grabbing the clue. "Roadblock… Who wants to become a Repair Guy? This sounds like it's right up your alley, darling."
"I'm on it." Janey said.
Kirby
"(Hya!)" Kirby exclaimed, dropping his hammer onto a railroad spike. "(Halfway there…)"
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
"Hi, we need 6 Flutter Cupcakes." Jr said.
"No problem. That'll be 15 coins."
"Here you go." Yoshi said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"Phew… Not U-Turned." DK said as Diddy reached into the box and pulled out the clue.
"There's still quite a few clues in here." Diddy said.
"Yeah, but I see the Pandorans and the Star Warriors here." DK said. "And the Sages were already here. They U-Turned the Yoshis."
Diddy ripped open the clue. "There's a Fast Forward."
"Let's take it." DK said. "We might not get first, but we can at least stay in."
"A Fast Forward is a clue hidden on certain legs of the race. The team that earns the Fast Forward can skip all remaining tasks and proceed directly to the Pit Stop.
However, only one team can attempt the Fast Forward at a time, and only one team can claim it. Teams can also only use the Fast Forward once during the race, so they must decide when it is most advantageous to go for it.
In this Fast Forward, teams must board Shy Guy's Perplex Express and ride it around Shy Guy City, answering questions about the race so far. If a team can answer 5 of the
7 questions correctly, they will receive the Fast Forward award and will be dropped off Port Station, across the street from Shy Guy Fort."
"Do you want to try it?" Diddy asked.
"Let's go for it." DK said. The two followed nearby signs reading "Fast Forward" to a train sitting just outside the railyard.
"Welcome to Shy Guy's Perplex Express." A Shy Guy said. "Climb aboard and prepare for my quiz!"
CJ & Shaylene: Dating (Shy Guy City – Seaside)
The Sages stood on the shores of the city, scanning their surroundings.
"Okay, I guess I was wrong." CJ said. "It is hard to find a giant stone fort on the water… Somehow…"
"Maybe we're on the wrong coast?" Shaylene wondered. "Wait! I see it!"
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
"Hi there. We're looking to buy 8 Sky Guy Balloon Cookies." Yoshi said.
"Sure thing. That'll be 16 coins, please
."
"Here you go." Yoshi said, handing over some coins. "Almost done."
Janey / Kirby
"(Done!)" Kirby said. The foreman walked over and examined Kirby's work.
"Sorry, these spikes aren't in correctly."
"Amateur." Janey mumbled, driving a spike into the ground.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"Question 1: Where was the Roadblock clue found during the third leg?"
"Third leg… That was… Boston?" DK wondered. "I think the Roadblock was the marathon. Where was that clue?"
"Something… Square?" Diddy asked.
"Incorrect." The Shy Guy said.
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
"Hi, we need 6 Boo Brownies, please." Jr said.
"10 coins." Jr exchanged the coins for a bag of brownies.
"Back to the café." Yoshi said.
CJ & Shaylene: Dating
The Sages rushed through the entryway of a large mud-brown brick fort nestled on a peninsula extending out from the city. In the center of the courtyard was Toadsworth,
standing on the mat with a white Shy Guy wearing a peaked cap and a cloak that was decorated with all kinds of medals and ribbons. They rushed forward and triumphantly
jumped onto the mat.
"Welcome to Shy Guy City." The Shy Guy, General Guy, said.
"Thank you." Shaylene said.
"CJ and Shaylene… You are team number one." Toadsworth said.
CJ & Shaylene: Dating – 1st Place / 2:39 AM
"Boo ya! We are on fire, baby!" CJ cheered.
"I have more good news." Toadsworth said. "As winners of this leg of the race, you have each won a 2017 Mushroom Motors Sports Coupe, as well a year supply of gasoline,
courtesy of 1-Up Fuel."
"No way!" Shaylene said.
"What?!" CJ gasped. "Awesome!"
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
The Yoshis rushed in and handed over the desserts, before being handed a clue by the chef.
"Back to the Railyard." Yoshi said.
Kirby / Janey (Shy Guy Railyard)
"Come on, Kirby! Hurry!" MetaKnight said.
"We've got to beat them!" Athena exclaimed. "Hurry!"
"I know, Athena! I know!" Janey yelled. "Be quiet!"
"I felt like Athena was pressuring me at the Roadblock to move faster." Janey said (After-Leg). "There was no telling who was behind us, if anyone. We knew the Yoshis had
been U-Turned, and didn't see them return to the café, so I assumed they were still behind us, but we hadn't seen the Kongs since we got off the train."
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"Question 3: Who was Yielded in Leg Six?"
"Yielded… Um… We were Yielded in Boston, but that wasn't Leg Six…" DK said.
"Oh! The Sages! CJ and Shaylene!" Diddy exclaimed with excitement.
"Correct."
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
"Roadblock… Who wants to become a Repair Guy?" Yoshi read. "I'll do it."
"Ok, good luck Dad." Jr said.
Yoshi / Kirby / Janey
"Done!" Janey said, driving in her final spike. The foreman came over and examined her tracks.
"I'm sorry. Those spikes there aren't quite right."
"Janey, you need to move!" Athena called out.
"I know! Stop yelling at me, Athena!" Janey shouted. "I'm doing the best I can!"
"You can do this, Kirby! Just focus!" MetaKnight said.
"Go Dad!" Jr exclaimed.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"Question 4: Where was the Detour clue found in Leg Four?"
"Leg Four… That was Boo Woods, right?" DK asked.
"I think so." Diddy said.
"The Detour was at Boo's Lookout Tower." DK said.
"Wait, no! Leg Four was Boston, not three!" Diddy said. "The Detour clue was found at the aquarium."
"What is your answer?" The Shy Guy asked.
"Go for it, buddy." DK said.
"New England Aquarium." Diddy said.
"Correct."
Yoshi / Janey / Kirby (Shy Guy Railyard)
"(Check please!)" Kirby called out. The foreman came over and examined his work.
"Correct." The foreman reached into his back pocket and handed a clue to Kirby, who rushed back to MetaKnight to open it.
"Janey! Hurry up! You need to be faster! We're going to lose!" Athena shouted.
"Shut up Athena! I know!" Janey snapped.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors – Currently in 2nd
"Pit Stop time, Kirby." MetaKnight said.
Kirby sighed. "(Here we go…)"
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"Question 5: Who out of the other four teams participated in the Roadblock in Leg Two?"
"Leg Two… Leg two… That was the liver and onions, right?" DK questioned.
"I think so." Diddy said. "So… I know CJ did it."
"I think Janey did it. I remember her saying something about it being more disgusting than fried… something." DK said.
"Kirby did it, because he basically inhaled the whole meal in one gulp." Diddy said.
"And… which one of the Yoshis did it?" DK questioned. "I think it was Jr."
"What is your answer?"
"CJ, Janey, Kirby and Yoshi Jr." DK said.
"I'm sorry, that's incorrect." The Shy Guy said. "You must get the next two questions right to receive the Fast Forward."
Yoshi / Janey (Shy Guy Railyard)
"Done!" Janey said. The foreman came over.
"Please be right, please be right… Please…" Athena mumbled.
"Correct." The foreman said, holding out a clue.
"Yes!" Athena exclaimed.
Athena & Janey: Engaged – Currently in 3rd
"Pit Stop, Athena! Let's go!" Janey said.
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son (Shy Guy Railyard)
"Check please!" Yoshi said. The foreman examined his work.
"I'm sorry, but your rails are not even."
"Crap…" Yoshi said.
"Come on, Dad! You can do this!" Jr cheered.
"I know Dad's getting discouraged. We're the last team here, we were U-Turned. I know he's afraid we're going home." Jr said to the camera. "I am too. But even if we do, I've
had so much fun on this adventure getting to bond with my Dad."
? (Shy Guy Fort)
Toadsworth stood on the mat with General Guy as a team rushed to the Pit Stop.
"Welcome to Shy Guy City." General Guy said.
"Kirby and MetaKnight… I understand you do not have your travel documents." Toadsworth said.
"No, we don't." MetaKnight said.
"Unfortunately, I cannot check you in without your passports." Toadsworth said. "You'll have to go back out onto the race course and search for them."
"Ok." MetaKnight said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"Question 6: Who greeted you at the Pit Stop in Leg One?"
"Oh! That was Shaylene's sister… What was her name?" Diddy said.
"Jenn…something…" DK said.
"Jennette!" Diddy exclaimed. "Jennette! Our answer is Jennette!"
"Correct." The Shy Guy said. "Final Question: Where was Leg Five's Pit Stop?"
"The Thousand Year Door." Diddy said.
"Correct." The Shy Guy said. "Here is your Fast Forward."
"Having won the Fast Forward, DK & Diddy can now skip all remaining tasks and go directly to Shy Guy Fort." Toadsworth narrated.
"Warning: The last team to check in may be eliminated." The train came to a stop and the Kongs stepped off, finding themselves across the street from a large stone fortress.
"No way! I think that's it!"
Yoshi (Shy Guy Railyard)
"Check please!" Yoshi called out. The foreman came over, examined his work, and held out a clue.
"Yes! Go Dad!" Jr exclaimed.
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son – Currently in Last Place
"Pit Stop. Ready?" Yoshi aske
d.
"Yeah. You did good out there, Dad. I've had fun racing with you."
"Me too, son." Yoshi said. "Me too."
? (Shy Guy Fort)
"Welcome to Shy Guy City." General Guy said, as another team stepped up to the mat.
"Thank you."
"Donkey Kong and Diddy… You're the third team to arrive. However, a team before did not have their passports and could not be checked in, making you officially team number
two."
DK & Diddy: Best Friends – 2nd Place / 3:03 AM
"It's not first, but at least we're still in it." DK said.
"We made up a surprising amount of ground on that one."
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors (Shy Guy City – Police Station)
Kirby was seated at a desk with a police officer, filling out paperwork.
"We tried checking to see if anyone turned in our passports to the police, but no luck." MetaKnight said to the camera. "We're filling out paperwork so they can reach us if
anyone does turn them in. Hopefully, we'll be able to find them, and hopefully we can stay in the race. Right now, we're just going to head back to the Pit Stop and hope for
the best."
? (Shy Guy Fort)
"Welcome to Shy Guy City."
"Thank you very much."
"Athena and Janey… You are team number three." Toadsworth said.
Athena & Janey: Engaged – 3rd Place / 3:15 AM
"I'll take it." Athena said.
"At least we're still in it." Janey said.
"What happened at the Roadblock?" Toadsworth asked.
"I was worried about being eliminated, and we had no idea of who was behind us or ahead of us." Athena said. "We're not usually like that. I let the pressure get to me."
? (Shy Guy Fort)
Another team soon came wandering up the stairs to the top of the fort, where General Guy and Toadsworth waited.
"Welcome to Shy Guy City."
"Thanks."
"Yoshi and Yoshi Jr… You're the last team to arrive." Toadsworth said.
"We figured." Yoshi said.
"I'm… Pleased to tell you, however, that one team misplaced their travel documents and could not be checked in, making you officially team number four."
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son – 4th Place / 3:29 AM
"What?"
"No way… We're… we're not going home?" Jr asked.
"You're not going home." Toadsworth said.
"Oh yeah! The Yoshis live to fight another day! Look out, Amazing Race, my Dad and I are here to stay!" Jr said (After-Leg).
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
Kirby and MetaKnight slowly walked back to the Pit Stop.
