The Amazing Race: MK is the first installment of the popular reality television show, The Amazing Race to be held in The Mushroom Kingdom. The Amazing Race: MK features eleven teams of two, with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the Mushroom Kingdom. Applications were accepted through January 20, 2005 (one week later than the original deadline). Semi-finalist interviews occurred in late February/early March, followed by finalist interviews in Toad Town during late March and early April. Filming began in May 2005.[2] In the premiere episode, host Phil Keoghan expressed confusion at the land around him, but pressed on.

The two hour season finale was aired in May. An astounding number of people tunes in to watch it.

Note 2: Wario & Waluigi, having lost their ticket to Glitzville, were forced to perform the optional roadblock.
Note 3: While attempting to get to the pit stop, DK & Diddy caused large amounts of damage. To pay for it, they started the leg with no money. Their placement was not affected.


  • Red means the team was eliminated.
  • An underlined Blue team placement means the team was the last to arrive at a pit stop in a non-elimination leg of the race. This means that the team was not eliminated. The team was forced to give up all their money and all of their possessions, except the clothes on their backs. They also received no money at the start of the next leg. There is not, however, a penalty allotted to teams who arrive last on the last leg of the race.
  • A Green ƒ means the team won the Fast Forward clue. A leg number with an ƒ means there was an unused fast forward on that leg.
  • A yellow > means that team chose to use the Yield; < indicates the team who received it; <> indicates a leg where the Yield was available but not used.

[edit] Trivia

[edit] General

  • During the opening credits, any eliminated teams would have X's placed over them. This is the first time this has been done.
  • This is the first season of the spinoff series The Amazing Race: MK, which is The Amazing Race based in the Mushroom Kingdom. However, unlike The Amazing Race Asia, this spinoff still featured Phil Keoghan as the host.
  • In the alternate dimension, earth, all of these characters are featured in popular video games made by Nintendo.
  • This is the second edition of the Amazing Race to remain in one continent, yet visit more than one country. The first one was The Amazing Race 8. However, the eighth season only visited 4 countries, while this one visits more.
  • This edition features the first teacher/student team.

[edit] In-Race

  • In Leg 1, Grodus & Lord Crump accidentally went to Shooting Star Summit and Flower Fields.
  • King Boo & Boo, Goombella & Prof. Frankly and Wario & Waluigi all checked in at the same time in Leg 1, gaining them all 8th place. However, Phil told them they 'were teams 8, 9 & 10'.
  • In Leg 2, teams were given a blimp ticket from Don Pianta for completing the roadblock. During Leg 3, teams had to use this ticket to ride the blimp to Glitzville. If teams lost this ticket, they would have to do an optional roadblock. This is the first time such a thing has been done.
  • In Leg 4, having fallen so far behind, Wario & Waluigi received a clue at the airstrip that told them to go directly to the pit stop.
  • During Leg 5, The Detour had to be delayed until morning, due to opening hours and safety reasons. However, teams were released in the same order that they got the clue with the appropriate time gaps. This is the first time this has been done in the history of The Amazing Race
  • At the end of Leg 7, Teams were given check in times for the Pit Stop. This is an interesting twist that makes its first appearance on The Amazing Race MK
  • Leg 8 began at MKA, though the Pit Stop of Leg 7 was on Yoshi’s Tropical Island. Due to an impending storm, the first task of the leg had to be skipped for all players, so they began the leg in the former location.
  • During Leg 9, Boo was playing the popular game Space Invaders at the Sky Land Airport.
  • According to the closed captioning, the professional SkyDiver who jumped with Luigi spells his name Toews, despite pronouncing it Taves
  • Paintbrush City Is the first location visited on the race that Mario had not yet visited.
  • The Mushroom Plains were referred to in the show as "World 1-1". It is actually nicknamed this, even on Earth.
  • Some of the music used during Leg 11 is the same as the music used in Super Mario Bros.
  • This is the third time someone who had been Yielded has finished ahead of the team that Yielded them. In Leg 12 Mario & Luigi were Yielded by Bowser & Bowser Jr., but checked in ahead of them.

[edit] Post-Race

  • The First episode (Toad Town → Shiver City) was originally broadcast as a 1-hour episode. After the sixth episode was aired (Pianta Village → Mount Corona) Episode 1 was re-aired with more material added to it to make it a 2-hour episode. More dialogue from the teams, extra voice-overs from Phil, and more were added. This is the first time this has been done on The Amazing Race.

In the Detour, teams that chose Shine Gate had to use FLUDDs to clean off the large shine gate (or one of the bell towers if shine gate was occupied).

There were also different sizes of buckets. In Explore Under, teams had to traverse the treacherous mushrooms underneath the village while wearing a harness. They would have to climb back up themselves if they fell. This leg contained the first of only 3 yields, where Peach & Daisy yielded Bowser & Bowser Jr. In the roadblock, teams shot arrows at balloons, which symbolized the Fluff Festival.

[edit] Leg 6 (Pianta Village → Mount Corona)

In this Leg's Detour, teams had to choose between Stones and Subs. Teams that chose Stones had to split up. One team member would use a mechanical ascender to climb the volcano's walls and chip away the rocks. Their partner would catch the falling rocks.

The Detour on this leg of the race featured two common activities from this locale. In Comb it Over, teams pulled large, dead tree branches across the beach, in an activity known as beach combing, which prevents erosion. In Carry it Over, teams had to transport 500lbs of fruit. In the Roadblock, 4 of the chosen team members had to play in a Mario Party. The higher the placement of a team, the faster they could check in.

The Detour on this leg of the race was Jump Up or Smack Down. Teams choosing Jump Up had to find a Kuribo’s Shoe for each team member, then ride it over a tricky obstacle course. Teams choosing Smack Down had to traverse through the Sky Land Fortress and defeat Boom Boom. The Second Yield of the race appeared on this leg, but no-one used it. The Roadblock had one person searching the Cloud area of Sky Land, looking for a Tanooki Suit, with which they could use to anchor an airship.

[edit] Leg 9 (Sky Land → Grass Land)

The Detour on this leg of the race was Spelunking or SkyDiving. Spelunking sent teams to search in a dark, piranha plant infested cavern to search for a clue. SkyDiving involved both team members skydiving from 10 000 feet in the air with a professional skydiver. The Roadblock had one person using binoculars to search Grass Land for a single pipe with an amazing race flag on it. This pipe contained the pit stop.

[edit] Leg 10 (Grass Land → Bob-Omb Battlefield)

This leg's Detour required teams to pick between two culturally relevant tasks, namely Charge or Chain. In Charge, teams used a confusing map to perform an obstacle course, collecting parts of the clue along the way. In Chain, teams had to subdue a Chain Chomp and retrieve the clue it was guarding. The Roadblock was to find 8 colored coins hidden among the Battlefield, similar to how Mario searched for 8 Red Coins once here.

In it, teams had to find a single, solitary invisible block that contained their next clue. The Roadblock was to defeat all the enemies that were populating the Mushroom Plains.

[edit] Leg 12 (Mushroom Plains → Dry Dry Outpost)

The Roadblock was to learn the art of Telekinesis and levitate 5 objects. The last Yield of the race appeared on this leg. Bowser & Bowser Jr. Yielded Mario & Luigi. This leg's Detour required teams to pick between two tasks in the expansive desert. In Search, teams rode ATVs around the entire desert, looking for their next clue. In Rescue, teams dug in a marked dig site for their next clue.

[edit] Leg 13 (Dry Dry Outpost → Toad Town)

Leg 13 (Dry Dry Outpost → Toad Town)
