In both Detours, teams must bring their items to the Pyro Guy Café and find the Pyro Guy Chef. However, teams who choose Fry will have their items cooked for them and
they must then eat them to receive their next clue. What teams don't know is that the items for both options are scattered at various specialty shops around the market,
the items for Fry can all be found in one single shop and teams who choose Fry might find themselves gaining a time advantage if they can find the shop that sells all the
items together. Both teams can find directions to their items written in Shyglyphics at the bottom of their list."
"I'm not eating weird stuff…" DK said. "Let's do Fly." The Shy Guy seated in the stall stood up and handed DK a small sheet of paper containing a list of items.
"Let's boogie." Diddy said.
Athena & Janey: Engaged
"Janey, I found it!" Athena called out. Janey caught up to her and Athena grabbed the clue. "Detour… Fly or Fry."
"Let's do Fry." Janey said. "That can't be any weirder than Fried Tork."
"That's not what you said about the last eating challenge you did." Athena said.
"I'll take my chances." Janey said.
It didn't take long before another team found the clue box.
"Babe, over here!"

"Detour… Fly or Fry." CJ read.
"Eating challenge number 3. Let's do it." Shaylene said.
"Ok, let's go." CJ said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
The Kongs rushed up to a small bakery stall not far from where they found their clue.
"Do you have Flutter Cupcakes?" DK asked. The Koopa in the stall shook his head.
"Do you know where we can find them?" Diddy said. The Koopa shook his head again.
"Dang." DK said.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
"Detour… Fly or Fry." MetaKnight said. "No question here, Fry it is."
"We made the choice that if any eating challenges came up in Detours, we would choose that." MetaKnight said (After-Leg). "And if any Roadblocks sounded like eating
challenges, Kirby would do them. Why not use our skills, or his appetite, to our advantage?"
"(Food!)" Kirby exclaimed.
CJ & Shaylene: Dating
"Dude, look at this." Shaylene said, pointing to the bottom of the list. Underneath the items, near the bottom of the paper, were a series of strange characters and symbols.
"At the bottom of our list of items was extra writing, written in a Shy Guy language or something. It was easily overlooked, though, because the writing looked like it was
decorative and not actually part of a clue." CJ said (After-Leg).
"Do you think it's another language?" Shaylene asked.
"Might as well see." CJ said. He took the paper and handed it to a nearby Shy Guy. "Excuse me, do these symbols and stuff mean anything significant?"
"Yeah… It says 'Your items can be found three stalls and four rows away from Pyro Guy Café.' Oh, you're looking for all these items?"
"Yeah. Do you know where to go?" CJ asked.
"Look for a stall with this sign." The Shy Guy scribbled some writing on the list and handed it back to CJ. "It's run by a Piranha Plant. You'll find all these foods there."
"Thanks." Shaylene said.
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
"Detour… Fly or Fry." Yoshi said.
"Fry sounds food related, Dad." Jr said. "Let's go for it."
"Ok." Yoshi said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
The Kongs ran up to another stall.
"Excuse me… Please tell me you have at least one of these items…" DK said, handing the list to the Goomba in the stall.
"Nope." The Goomba said. "But I think you can get marshmallow clouds about seven stalls thataway."
"Thanks!" DK said.
Athena & Janey: Engaged
"Excuse me, can you translate this for me?" Janey said, handing their list to a nearby Shy Guy.
"Yeah. 'Your items can be found three stalls and four rows away from Pyro Guy Cafe.'" The Shy Guy said.
"Thanks." Janey said.
"Let's find Pyro Guy Café and work from there." Athena said.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
The Star Warriors approached a large food stand run by a Wiggler. Surrounding the Wiggler were crates filled with various fruits and vegetables. In one was a pile of red
spheres with small yellow spikes sticking out of them.
"Are those Spiny Eggs?" MetaKnight asked.
"Yes." The Wiggler said.
"Could we get…" MetaKnight scanned the list. "…6 of those?"
"Yup." The Wiggler said. "That'll be… 20 coins."
"You got it." MetaKnight said, reaching into the pack to grab some coins. As he pulled them out, a passport slipped out of the pack and dropped to the ground, unnoticed by
the Star Warriors or the Wiggler. He handed the coins over and the Wiggler dropped 6 Spiny Eggs into a bag. "Thank you."
CJ & Shaylene / Yoshi & Yoshi Jr
Both teams rushed down from opposite ends of the marketplace, meeting in front of a small building. On the door was a picture of a yellow Shy Guy wearing a chef's hat and
on fire.
"Well… we found the café." Yoshi said. "But we still need to find the goods…" The Yoshis then ran off.
"Sounds like they didn't translate their clue." CJ said. "Let's go." The Sages rushed up the row, past three small stalls, turned a corner and ran past four rows of stalls. "We
should find everything near here…"
"All I see are clothing shops." Shaylene said.
"Let's run down this path and see what we find. Maybe it was three stalls and four rows the other way." CJ said. They rushed down the pathway between stalls, counting six
stalls as they ran. As they passed the sixth stall, CJ noticed that it was surrounded by baskets and crates of food. "Wait!" He stopped running and turned to scan the stall.
"What?"
"I think this is it." He said. He looked at the Piranha Plant manning the shop. "Excuse me, do you have these items?" The Piranha Plant scanned the list.
"I certainly do." He said. Using his leaves as arms, he flung all the items into a small crate and handed it to CJ. "95 coins, please."
"Here." CJ said, handing over some coins. "To the Café."
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"Do you have any of the items on this list?" DK asked a Koopa Troopa.
"Um… nope." The Koopa said. "But there's a Lakitu four rows over that runs a bakery."
"Thanks!" Diddy said.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
"(Hi, we're trying to find these items.)" Kirby said, handing his list to a Piranha Plant.
"You're in luck. I have all of these."
"We don't need the Spiny Eggs." MetaKnight said, holding up the bag.
"Okay. The rest'll run ya… 90 coins."
"Yikes." MetaKnight said. "Here you g- Wait…"
"(What?)" Kirby asked.
"I'm missing a passport." MetaKnight said.
"(Did we drop it somewhere?)" Kirby asked.
"Maybe the other stall." MetaKnight said. He handed over the coins and grabbed his stuff.
CJ & Shaylene / Athena & Janey
The Sages ran toward the café as the Pandorans approached from the other end of the market.
"Found the café. Now let's find our stuff." Athena said. Meanwhile, the Sages ran inside the café and found the chef. They handed over their crate of ingredients and he began
cooking.
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son
"Excuse me, do you have any of these items?" Yoshi asked a Blooper.
"No, but the Piranha Plant five stalls that way does." The Blooper said.
"Thanks." Yoshi said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"Hi, we're looking for any of
these items." DK said, handing the list to a Lakitu.
"You're in luck. I have Sky Guy Balloon Cookies." The Lakitu said. "How many you need?"
"Um… 8." DK said.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
The two Star Warriors rushed over to the previous stand where they bought the Spiny eggs.
"Did anyone pick up a passport from the ground here?" MetaKnight asked.
"Not that I saw." The Wiggler said.
"Let's retrace our steps." MetaKnight said. "We've got to find it."
CJ & Shaylene: Dating (Pyro Guy Café)
The Sages sat at a table as the chef carried out a tray of food. The Spiny eggs had been cracked open and fried, the wings had been plucked and deep fried, the Bloopers had
been cut up and boiled and the Buzzy Beetles were boiled in the shell.
"Bon appétit." The chef said, placing the food in front of them.
"This actually looks good." Shaylene said, grabbing a piece of boiled Blooper. She popped it into her mouth and started chewing. "Ok, maybe not."
"Wow that's chewy." CJ said, munching on a piece of Blooper as well.
Athena & Janey / Yoshi & Yoshi Jr
Both teams approached the Piranha Plant stall and handed over their lists.
"We're looking for these items."
"Us too."
"Coming right up. 95 coins for each of your guys." The Piranha Plant said, shoveling stuff into a pair of crates. Yoshi and Athena held out a handful of coins. The Piranha Plant
took the coins and then held out the crates. The teams grabbed them and rushed off in the same direction.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
"Has anyone seen a passport?!" MetaKnight shouted as the Star Warriors wandered the aisles of the marketplace.
"(Anyone?!)" Kirby called out.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"I wish we could find the rest of our stuff… This is harder than I expected." Diddy said.
"No kidding, little buddy." DK said.
CJ & Shaylene / Athena & Janey / Yoshi & Yoshi Jr
The Pandorans and Yoshis rushed in and handed their items to the chef, who quickly got to work cooking.
"Dude, the Pandorans and the Yoshis are here." Shaylene said, taking a big bite of a wing.
"I know." CJ said, scooping a whole fried Spiny egg into his mouth.
"What are these nutcracker things for?" Shaylene asked.
"I have an idea." CJ said, picking up a Buzzy Beetle and cracking its shell open with a tool similar to a crab cracker. He pulled the cracked shell apart and started picking out
the meat from inside. "Yup. Eat the Buzzies like you're eating lobster or crab."
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
"(Maybe we should just keep going.)" Kirby said.
"We can't continue without the passport." MetaKnight said.
"(What do we do?)" Kirby asked.
"I guess we can try to see if there's a Dream Land Embassy back in Toad Town…" MetaKnight said. "Or we can go to City Hall here and see if they can point us in the right
direction."
"(This sucks.)" Kirby said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"This is ridiculous." Diddy said, as the Kongs wandered through an aisle between nothing but clothing and fabric stalls. "It shouldn't be this hard to find desserts."
"Do you want to switch?" DK asked.
"And have trouble finding weird stuff that we'll have to eat? No thanks." Diddy said.
CJ & Shaylene / Athena & Janey / Yoshi & Yoshi Jr
"Come on, come on, come on." Janey said. "Give us the food."
"The faster we get that out there, the bigger of a lead we can gain on CJ and Shaylene." Yoshi said.
"Almost done." CJ said, cleaning the meat off of the last bone.
"I don't know… urk… If I can eat any more…" Shaylene said, gagging as she took another bite of Blooper.
"We've almost got it, babe." CJ said, dipping a piece of Blooper in the broken yolk of a Spiny egg.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
The two sat on a bench beyond the edge of the marketplace.
"I don't know what to do, Kirby." MetaKnight said.
"(Give up?)" Kirby asked.
"No. We can't give up." MetaKnight said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
The Kongs approached a small stall filled with baked goods.
"Please tell me you have one of these…" DK said.
"Yeah, I have Sky Guy Balloon Cookies." The Shy Guy running the stall said.
"Anything else?" Diddy asked.
"On the list? No." The Shy Guy said. DK groaned.
CJ & Shaylene / Athena & Janey / Yoshi & Yoshi Jr
The chef and a waiter walked out, each carrying a tray of food.
"Here it comes. Time to gain our lead." Yoshi said.
"We've gotta power though this." Janey said. As the trays of food were placed down, CJ and Shaylene each finished their last bites of egg.
"Done!" CJ said. The chef walked over and handed them a clue.
CJ & Shaylene: Dating – Currently in 1st
"Travel on foot to Shy Guy Railyard. Caution: U-Turn Ahead."
"Teams must now make their way across town to the Shy Guy Railyard, where their next clue awaits them. When they arrive here, they'll reach the race's second U-Turn. A
U-Turn is found at the end of a Detour, and can be used to slow down another team, forcing them to complete the other half of the Detour. A team's U-Turn power is
limited, as they can only use the U-Turn once." Toadsworth narrated.
"Awesome. We made up some ground there, I think. Let's keep it up."
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
"I guess all we can do is keep going." MetaKnight said. "Maybe it'll turn up…"
"(Ok.)" Kirby said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
"I'm really beginning to hate this stupid market." DK said.
"Wait a sec… What's this?" Diddy asked, pointing to strange symbols under each of the items.
"No idea." DK said. He handed the paper to a nearby Koopa Troopa. "Do this symbols mean anything?"
"Yeah, those are Shyglyphics. They seem to be detailing where to find all the items on this list." The Koopa said.
"WHAT?" DK exclaimed. "Ugh. Of course. Could you write the directions on the paper for us?"
"Uh… sure." The Koopa said, scribbling some notes on their list. "Here you go."
"Awesome. Thanks!" Diddy said.
Athena & Janey / Yoshi & Yoshi Jr
Janey took a bite of Spiny egg.
"Blech… I was wrong… It is worse than fried Tork…" She said.
"This squid thing is super rubbery…" Athena said. Meanwhile, the Yoshis were swallowing items whole with their tongues.
"Almost done, Dad." Jr said, swallowing a wing.
"Just a little more." Yoshi said, munching on a Blooper.
CJ & Shaylene: Dating
The two Sages found themselves back at the train station.
"Okay, so Toad Town is that way, so logically, if we follow the tracks in the direction opposite of Toad Town, we should find the railyard." CJ said.
"Good for you! You can navigate." Shaylene said, sarcasm brimming in her voice. CJ playfully smacked her in the shoulder.
"Glad you're proud of my skills, brat." He said.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
The Star Warriors wandered the market.
"Of course… Now we have to find the café." MetaKnight said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
The two rushed up to a small dessert stand run by a Lakitu.
"Hi, we need half a dozen Flutter Cupcakes." Diddy said.
"You got it. 15 coins, please." The Lakitu said. Diddy exchanged the coins for a small box of cupcakes.
"Thank you."
Athena & Janey / Yoshi & Yoshi Jr
"Ugh this is so gross." Ja
ney said.
"Just think of the race." Athena said.
"Done!" Jr shouted. The chef came over, examined their tray and held out a clue.
Yoshi & Yoshi Jr: Father/Son – Currently in 2nd
"Travel on foot to Shy Guy Railyard. Caution: U-Turn Ahead." Yoshi read. "Come on, if we move fast, we can beat the Sages!"
"It was a race to that U-Turn board." Yoshi said (After-Leg). "None of the five of us had used our U-Turn yet, and we were all potential targets, so we wanted to beat CJ and
Shaylene to the board. Even if we didn't U-Turn them, we knew we'd be safe."
CJ & Shaylene: Dating
The Sages ran along the train tracks and watched as they led into a large railyard filled with train cars. Not far from the road leading into the yard was a clue box and next to
that was the U-Turn board. The Sages ran to the board and started fishing through the box for a team's picture.
"Should we do it?" Shaylene asked.
"They're a strong team. I don't want to take chances." CJ said. He placed a picture on the board.
"We choose to U-Turn Yoshi and Yoshi Jr." The Sages said in unison. Shaylene then pulled the clue out of the clue box.
"Roadblock… Who wants to become a Repair Guy?" She read.
"A Roadblock is a task that only one team member may perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must choose one of the marked tracks and use the provided tools to
reassemble a section of track. Once the yard foreman approves of their work, they will receive their next clue."
"I guess I'll do it." CJ said.
"Good luck." Shaylene said.
DK & Diddy: Best Friends
The Kongs ran up to another small stall, this one ran by a Flutter.
"Do you have Boo Brownies?" Diddy asked.
"I do." The Flutter said. "How many?"
"6." DK said.
"10 coins."
"Here you go." Diddy held out some coins and grabbed the bag of brownies.
Kirby & MetaKnight: Friends/Star Warriors
"Finally…" MetaKnight said, as the two walked into the café. Kirby handed over the ingredients and the chef began cooking.
Athena & Janey: Engaged
Janey burped. "Another team we have to beat… Great…"
"We're almost done." Athena said. "Just a few more chewy Bloopers left."
"We still have those… beetle things…" Janey said.
