MARIO:
(laughs) No... We don't drive on rainbows.

PEACH:
What are you gonna tell me next? That the turtles aren't evil?

MARIO:
No, no. They're usually pets.

PEACH:
No way!

MARIO:
Ah, come to Brooklyn, I'll buy you a turtle.

PEACH:
(giggles) Maybe I will.

[DK pulls up on them.]

DONKEY KONG:
Dude, is this you flirting? This is painful!

MARIO:
Just-I was trying to be nice.

DONKEY KONG:
You are so embarrassing! A princess would never go out with you!

TOAD:
Yes, she would! I guarantee she would!

PEACH:
(laughing) Guys, enough.

DONKEY KONG:
All right, all right.

[The Koopa army in their own karts watches from a cliff overlooking the Rainbow Road.]

KOOPA:
Attack!

[The Koopa army rides their karts off of the cliff and onto Rainbow Road to ambush the Kong army. A Koopa fires a shell from his kart that recoils off of and knocks out several Kong karts.]

PEACH:
It's an ambush!

[A Koopa holding a lit Bob-omb approaches Mario but is knocked aside by Cranky Kong.]

CRANKY KONG:
Defensive positions!

[A Kong fires several shells from his kart at Koopas approaching them from the cliffs. Another Kong fires banana peels onto Rainbow Road, spinning out several Koopa karts. The Koopa General plows through several karts in a massive kart equipped with jaws at the front and gains on Mario and co.]

KOOPA GENERAL:
Mario! You're a dead man!

[Mario sees several paths ahead on Rainbow Road and gets an idea.]

MARIO:
Split up!

[Mario, Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong split up with the Koopa General chasing Mario.]

PEACH:
Mario!

[After repeatedly dodging the jaws of the Koopa General's kart, Mario sees another Rainbow Road path below him and ultra drift-boosts onto it, much to the Koopa General's frustration.]

[Mario's new Rainbow Road path starts to go upside down.]

MARIO:
(panicked) Whoaaaaa!

[Mario's kart shifts into anti-gravity mode.]

MARIO:
(amazed) Whoa-ho-ho!

[The Koopa General fires two Bullet Bills and destroys Mario's kart. Mario jumps out of the kart and falls onto another Rainbow Road path below him. Mario grabs onto a Koopa's motorcycle and crashes it into another Koopa's kart. Mario jumps on the Koopa driving the kart, causing the Koopa to retract into his shell. Mario jumps into the kart while holding the shell. Mario dodges three Bullet Bills shot at him from another Koopa kart behind him and counters the Koopa by throwing the shell he was holding behind him. The shell hits the Koopa kart, much to Mario's relief, while the Koopa General approaches him again from behind. Toad frantically dodges bullet and shell-fire from behind him. Two Koopas surround Peach, who proceeds to kick the Koopa on her right and ram the back of her motorcycle into the Koopa on her left. The Koopa on her left fires a Bullet Bill which breaks off the bottom half of a floating landmass above Toad's Rainbow Road path, which falls and breaks off the path ahead of Toad.]

TOAD:
(scream) I'm too cute to die!

[Peach disables anti-gravity mode on her motorcycle, falling off of the Rainbow Road path she was on. Peach catches Toad and activates her glider.]

TOAD:
That is how you princess!

[Mario fights off Koopa karts in front of him, but the Koopa General catches up to Mario and catches Mario's kart into his kart's jaws. Mario gets out of the kart and holds onto the outside of the jaws in an attempt to avoid getting chomped.]

KOOPA GENERAL:
Time to die, Mario!

[The Koopa General pushes a lever on his kart, closing the kart's jaws and destroying Mario's kart into his kart's jaws.]

KOOPA GENERAL:
(cackling)

[Mario, alive but clinging to the kart's jaw in fear, moves to the outer edge of the jaw and sees Donkey Kong chasing the Koopa General. Mario climbs to the top of the jaw where the Koopa General can see his head.]

KOOPA GENERAL:
Huh?

[Mario jumps on and bounces off the Koopa General's head and onto Donkey Kong's kart.]

DONKEY KONG:
See ya!

[Donkey Kong fires the first rocket barrel from his kart at the Koopa General.]

KOOPA GENERAL:
No!

[The rocket barrel destroy's the Koopa General's kart.]

MARIO:
Woo-hoo! Ha-ha!

TOAD:
Yeah!

[The Koopa General emerges from the flames of his destroyed kart.]

KOOPA GENERAL:
You...can't...escape ME!

MARIO:
What!?

KOOPA GENERAL:
BLUE SHELL!

[The Koopa general tucks in his body and flies toward Mario and Donkey Kong's kart. He spins around them and slams straight down, exploding, and shattering the kart and the Rainbow Road beneath them. Everything goes in slow-motion. Mario and Donkey Kong plummet as Peach and Toad escape.]

PEACH:
No! No, Mario...

[The Kongs stop at the broken section of the road.]

CRANKY KONG:
Ah! No! No...

[More Koopas arrive in flying Koopa Clown Cars and carry the Kongs toward Bowser's castle.]

CRANKY KONG:
Whoa! Get your clown claws off of me!

BOWSER:
(laughs) Goodbye, Mario.

PEACH:
We have to get home!

[Peach and Toad continue driving. As Mario and Donkey Kong fall, Donkey Kong throws debris at Mario.]

DONKEY KONG:
Hey! This is your fault!

MARIO:
My fault? You're the one who--

DONKEY KONG:
Stop talking! I don't want the last thing I hear before I die to be your--

[Mario and Donkey Kong crash into the ocean. Donkey Kong is knocked unconscious, but Mario manages to bring him up to the surface by pulling him by his tie. A large creature closes its jaws beneath them. They soon reach the surface, and Mario helps Donkey Kong onto a barrel to keep him afloat.]

DONKEY KONG:
Mario... You saved my life.

MARIO:
Yeah, well... I won't tell anyone.

DONKEY KONG:
Good, please don't.

MARIO:
Okay...

[Mario hears bubbling below him.]

MARIO:
Uh... Did you just...feel something?

[The creature, an eel-like Maw-Ray, rises up out of the water behind them.]

DONKEY KONG:
Swim!

[The Maw-Ray closes its jaws around them. Peach and Toad arrive back in the Mushroom Kingdom and race through the town.]

PEACH:
Bowser's on his way! You have to evacuate!

PEACH:
Hurry! Get out of the city!

[Peach races back to her castle and crashes into the throne room.]

TOAD GENERAL:
Princess?

PEACH:
We lost the army, and Mario's gone...

[The Toads gasp.]

EACH:
Bowser is coming. Head into the forest. I'll buy you some time.

TOAD GENERAL:
You heard her! Evacuate the city!

PEACH:
Go with the others.

TOAD:
I said I wouldn't let anyone hurt you.

[Peach nods affirmatively at Toad, and they exit the throne room.]

[The Toads frantically evacuate the Mushroom Kingdom.]

YELLOW TOAD:
Run!

[A Purple Toad in an apron drops a box of apples and tries to gather the apples.]

RED TOAD:
Just leave it! There's no time!

[Peach grabs a halberd left behind by one of her Toad guards and Toad takes out his frying pan, intending to use it as a weapon. Peach and Toad step outside the castle gates as Bowser's Castle approaches the front yard of Peach's Castle where Peach and Toad are standing. The "mouth" of Bowser's Castle opens up and several Koopa Troopas wielding spears surround Peach and Toad. Bowser shows himself.]
