Team Interview Ends "Now that all of the twenty teams are here, this is where the starting line begins for the most intense race ever Each leg ends at a finish line, get there fast because the last team to arrive there, will be eliminated from the race." Discord explained which caused some worried expressions from some of the teams. "However, the first team who makes it to the last finish line will win 500,000 of their currency." Discord explained making all the teams cheer. “Now onto how the race goes." Discord goes to a tipbox that's just like a cloud. "This is where you'll be getting travel tips that will help you throughout the entire race. Just press the button and your tip comes right out. Also there is no flying or magic allowed, if you do fly or use magic you will be penalized. Everybody ready?" All the teams nodded before going in a starting position. “Ready, set, go!” Discord said making all the teams begin to run as they hit the button to the Cloud Box. “Stairs or Scares, pick one of the challenges.” Rainbow Dash read. Discord(Voiceover): Stairs or Scares is where you can either go up fifty flights of stairs or go climb outside the tower to get to the top, not to worry, in case you fall you will be caught by the bouncy clouds but if any of your partners fall you must start over. “Climb fifty flights of stairs, yeah we’ll take Scares.” Sunset said. “Stairs.” Luigi suggested. “I’m down.” Mario shrugged. The Apple Sisters, Pegasiblings, Classmates, Mario Bros, Dino Buddies, and The Monkey Duo were all taking the stairs. “I guess we’re the only ones who decided to do Stairs.” Applejack said. “Seems like it.” Yoshi agreed. The teams began racing up the stairs, the Monkey Duo, Dino Buddies, and Mario Bros were doing great with the climbing, while the other three teams were trying to catch up. Scootaloo was beginning to get tired and was starting to fall behind “Rainbow Dash, wait up.” Scootaloo called out exhausted. Rainbow Dash then ran down back for her and put her on her back. “Hop on Scootaloo, because we’re going fast.” Rainbow Dash began running fast and was catching up to the top three teams. Meanwhile the rest of the teams were climbing up the tower by climbing up on rocks. Dimentio and Fawful saw Bowser Jr struggling behind them and got a devious idea. Team Interview: Wild Cards Dimentio: Y’know Discord never said anything about sabotaging the other players. Fawful: Ooh I am having the greatest of chortles. Team Interview Ends Fawful then kicked Bowser Jr’s head and the Koopa prince began falling down onto the clouds. “Junior!” Bowser screamed worried. “What was that for?” Bowser asked angrily to the Wild Cards. “We apologize that was an accident.” Dimentio lied through his teeth. “For some reason I don’t believe you.” Bowser argues. “Oh dear, guess you will have to be starting over what pity we have for you.” Fawful laughed. “You will pay for this.” Bowser growled. Team Interview: Koopa Royalty Bowser: How dare those horrid menaces do that to my son, they will pay for that. Bowser Jr: Indeed. Team Interview Ends Meanwhile Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong were able to climb all the way up the stairs. “Phew we made it.” Diddy Kong said exhausted. Donkey Kong then pushed the button on the Cloud Box making it give out a tip. “Okay, zip to the tip.” Donkey Kong read. Discord(voiceover): You just have to take the zip line down, where I will give you the next tip. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong then get on the zip line and began going down the zip line. After they made it to the bottom, Discord gave them their next travel tip. “Looks like we’re heading to some place called Ponyville.” Diddy Kong said. “Indeed, here is the airship.” Discord announces as an airship is seen behind them. “Oh cool.” Donkey Kong said. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong then get on the airship. The Mario Bros(Mario and Luigi) and Dino Buddies(Yoshi and Birdo) then climbed up to the top. Mario then pushes the button on the Cloud Box and gets a tip. Yoshi also pushes the button on the Cloud Box and gets a tip. The two teams read the tips and begin going on the zip line where Discord gives them their next tip. The Mario Bros and the Dino Buddies began running towards the airship. Spike is seen climbing up the rocks with Rarity behind him. "Come on Rarity, I can see the top of the tower." Spike called out. "Wait up Spike, let me just catch my breath." Rarity said tired. Team Interview: Oddballs Spike: I'm a pretty good climber and while Rarity is alright at climbing she could improve a bit. Rarity: I'm sorry but I get pretty tired at times. Team Interview Ends Starlight is seen climbing almost as good as Spike while Trixie is seen falling behind. "Come on Trixie, I need you to climb faster so we can win this." Starlight said. "Starlight this is pretty hard for me you know." Trixie argued. Spike and Starlight soon make it to the top of the tower. "You waiting on your partner too?" Spike asked. "How'd you guess?" Starlight rolled her eyes playfully. "Well seeing as though you are the only one up here, I sort of figured it out." Spike smirked. Rarity and Trixie both make it to the top at the same time. "I made it." Rarity said out of breath. "Great job Rarity, let's go." Spike said happily as he and Rarity began running inside the door. "Come on Trix." Starlight said making Trixie get up and start running. The Oddballs(Spike and Rarity) and the Magical Misfits(Starlight and Trixie) get the next tip from the Cloud Box and begin getting on the zip line. Spike and Rarity begin going down the zip line while Starlight took this time to talk to Trixie. "All right Trixie it's gonna be a long drop, just warning you now." Starlight warned her friend. "Relax Starlight, the Great and Powerful Trixie fears nothing." Trixie boasts before Starlight starts zip lining down as Trixie holds onto her. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Trixie screamed as she and Starlight went down the zip line. Team Interview: Magical Misfits Starlight(smirks): The Great and Powerful Trixie fears nothing, huh. Trixie rubs the back of her head sheepishly. Team Interview Ends Soon the Oddballs and Magical Misfits gain their travel tips and head to the airship. The Magikoopas(Kamek and Kammy Koopa) are seen making it to the top of the tower. "I wonder where Lord Bowser is." Kamek said curiously. "Beats me, he normally performs better than this." Kammy Koopa replied. With the Koopa Royalty(Bowser and Bowser Jr) they're seen trying to climb the rocks again. "Great we're in last place." Bowser said angrily. "Hey, it's not my fault." Bowser Jr huffed. "I know it isn't son, it's that Fawful and Dimentio, I hate those two so much." Bowser growled. Solo Interview: Bowser Jr Bowser Jr: It doesn't take a lot to get dad's hatred, if you mess with him or his family and minions, you suffer the consequences. Solo Interview Ends Bowser and Bowser Jr are seen climbing the rocks very fast, passing the Unicorn Bros(Snips and Snails) the Princes(Peasly and Dreambert) Soon the Magikoopas are seen on the zip line and heading downwards to the bottom. Once they reach the bottom, they get their travel tip from Discord and go on the airship. The Apple Sisters(Applejack and Applebloom) and the Pegasiblings(Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo) are seen making it to the top of the tower after climbing the stairs. "Alright we made it." Rainbow Dash said happily. "I'll get the next tip." Scootaloo said pushing the button on the Cloud Box giving her a tip. Rainbow Dash grabs it with her teeth as she begins reading it. Applejack also gets a tip from the Cloud Box and begins reading it. The two teams then zip line to the ground, the Pegasiblings make it down there first and the Apple Sisters make it down next Discord gave the Pegasiblings their tip as they began heading to the airship which then took off. "What the? How are we supposed to catch up?" Applejack asked incredulously. "Simple, you go on the next airship." Discord smirks as an airship flies down. Applejack and Applebloom then get on the airship after they get their tip. The Wild Cards(Fawful and Dimentio), Pen Pals(Twilight and Sunset), the Royal Sisters(Celestia and Luna), and the Money Makers(Wario and Waluigi) are seen making it to the top of the tower and into the room where the zip line equipment was. The four teams then zip lined down the building, got their tips from Discord and ran to their airship. Peach and Daisy are seen climbing the rocks when Toadsworth began calling out to Peach "Princess, be careful you could fall and get seriously hurt." "Toadsworth I'll be fine, plus there's a cloud to cushion us if we fall." Peach said calmly. "Is he always like this?" Daisy asked. "Yes but he means well." Peach answers. "Hey look Peach, there's the top." Daisy said happily. "Indeed, we're going to make it." Peach cheered. Peach and Daisy then climb to the top and start running inside the room where the Cloud Box is. "Zip To The Tip." Peach read. "Oh yay I love zip lining." Daisy cheered. Peach and Daisy then zip line to the bottom where Discord gave them their tip, the two princesses then went on the airship. The Gal Pals(Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy), the Mushroom Friends(Toadsworth and Toadbert), and the Besties(Lyra and Bon Bon) were seen climbing up to the top of the tower and then seen zip lining down to the ground where Discord gave the Gal Pals their tip as they then began boarding the airship, but Discord then stopped the Mushroom Friends and the Besties. "Nuh-uh, you four are not going on that airship, you're going on the third airship." Discord said as the second airship took off while the third airship showed up. "But how am I supposed to protect the princess?" Toadsworth asked worried. "Relax mushroom head she'll be perfectly safe." Discord rolled his eyes. "Come on Toadsworth let's just go to our airship I'm sure she'll be fine." Toadbert said reassuringly. "Perhaps you're right." Toadsworth said as they got their tip from Discord. Lyra and Bon Bon also get their tip from Discord as they begin boarding the airship. Meanwhile the Classmates(Sweetie Belle and Pipsqueak) were still busy climbing the stairs. "Man this is really long." Sweetie Belle said out of breath. "We can't stop now, we gotta make it to the end." Pipsqueak groaned. Team Interview: Classmates Sweetie Belle: It was a really long way up those stairs. Pipsqueak: Perhaps we should've climbed the rock wall instead. Team Interview Ends Bowser and Bowser Jr are seen going down the zip line and onto the ground. "What place are we in?" Bowser asked angrily. "17th place, just head to the airship, oh and here's your tip." Discord said. The last three teams the Princes, the Unicorn Bros, and the Classmates were all seen zip lining to the ground and began boarding the airship once Discord gave them their tips. "On Flight 1, we have the Monkey Duo, the Mario Bros, the Dino Buddies, the Oddballs, the Magical Misfits, the Magikoopas, and the Pegasiblings. On Flight 2 we have the Apple Sisters, the Wild Cards, the Pen Pals, the Royal Sisters, the Money Makers, the Princesses, and the Gal Pals. And finally on flight 3 we have the Mushroom Friends, the Besties, the Koopa Royalty, the Princes, the Unicorn Bros, and the Classmates." Discord announced "Who's going to be in first place and who will be eliminated, find out on the Fantastic Race."
