You are hanging out with your friends after school when Koh comes sprinting up to you.
Koh: Guys! Guys! Guys!
Danny: What is it?
Koh: I was just at the old scrapyard... you’ll never guess what I found!
Sakura: You’ll tell us anyway. Skip cutscene.
Koh: An engine! And a whole bunch of other machine parts!
Mia: So?
Koh: So we can build GO-KARTS! And then make a tack on campus and race them!
Nishan: That sounds awesome! Count me in!
Sakura: Oh there’s no way I’m missing out on this! I bet we can get the others to join and make this massively multiplayer!
Mia: I’ll pass. I have zero interest in playing with garbage.
Koh: Aww, what’s wrong? Pwincess Mia don’t wanna get her wittle hands dirty?
Mia: What?!
Koh: If you’re afraid to lose, maybe you should get your butler to race for you!
Danny: ...
Nishan: ...
Sakura: Heheh...
Mia: Oh, that’s IT. You think I can’t beat you at your own street rat games?
Koh: Street rat?!
Mia: I’ve been in competitive sports since I was four. I have more trophies than you have outfits, Mosh Spice.
Nishan: Oooh, snap!
Sakura: Is anyone else getting tingles?
Danny: Whoa, hey! Let’s save the competitiveness for the actual track!
Koh: I agree. And while we’re at it, let’s make this more interesting... Whoever loses has to eat worms at the victory party!
Mia: Hard pass. Are you ever not-gross?
Koh: Hey, I get it. You’re afraid to lose. No big.
Mia: Ugh, fine! You’ve got a deal.
Danny: Eating worms? Mia, are you sure about this?
Mia: Of course I’m sure. Because there’s no way I’m losing this bet!
Nishan: Gaaah! This is really happening! It can’t be a dream, because there are no clowns or pop quizzes!
Sakura: Danny, you’re gonna build a kart and join the race with us, right?
Start this quest to customize your go-kart, race against your favorite characters... And find out if Mia or Koh will be eating their words... with a side of worms!
Requirements
Danny: All right, count me in!
Koh: Perfect! You’ll get to see me leave Mia in the dust!
Mia: Oh, we’ll see.
Nishan: To the scrapyard!
Later that afternoon, you and your friends browse around the scrap yard, collecting parts for your go-karts.
Danny: Found a motor for mine! This is actually pretty fun!
Julian: Look at this awesome sheet metal! I could put a plow on my kart like a bulldozer!
Koh: Mine is going to be a beast! I’m talking chains, spikes, chains with spikes on ‘em...
Mia: Gross. I’m putting a sleep paint job on my racer. I’m going to win AND look good doing it!
Nishan: Present-day tech is so pedestrian. I’m going futuristic with mine!
Danny: Wow, you guys are really going all-out with your designs!
Koh: Heck yeah! You should too, if you wanna keep up!
Danny: Ha! I’ll keep that in mind!
As you haul your scavenged parts, you notice Sakura testing a makeshift catapult arm rigged with old springs...
Danny: Whoa, what’s that for?
Sakura: Oh, this? For one of my go-kart’s gadgets.
Danny: Gadgets?
Sakura: Yeah! Haven’t you ever played a kart-racing videogame? Every kart launches shells and fireballs and stuff to slow everyone else down!
Danny: In that case, I better be able to defend against launched shells... ...and I’m gonna need some help!
Requirements
Zayn and Alex help you haul your collected loot back to school...
Danny: I think we’ve got everything we need.
Alex: Yeah, but if you want to win, you’ll have to be faster, stronger, and more agile than your opponents!
Zayn: If we streamline the standard design, we can boost the speed by 53%! Now if you take a look at these schematics...
Zayn hands you several blueprints of different go-kart designs.
Danny: These look great! Let’s get building.
Time - 8 hours
Zayn and Alex spend the afternoon helping you build your go-kart!
Danny: This is looking great!
Zayn: Yeah, it’s good... But not good enough! This vehicle won’t last a minute in the race without some protection.
Alex: You could deck it out with armor, like football pads!
Zayn: Alternatively, rocket blasters to help you speed away from your enemies might be a good idea. How about a supercharged booster function?
Danny: Hmmm... I think I’ll add the supercharged boost! When in danger, I’ll just zoom away!
Zayn: Nice strategy. The fastest cowards are the safest cowards. Uh, not that you’re a coward or anything.
Alex: Hey, no judgement. You gotta pick your battles.
With a little tinkering, Zayn installs a supercharged booster to your go-kart.
Zayn: Here you go! Now you can make like a space pioneer and hit warp speed!
Danny: Punch it, Chewie!
You step back to admire you go-kart.
Zayn: This is a boss level kart... but you know what you need? Offensive capabilities!
Alex: Right. If you want ot be competitive with the other racers, you’ll have to be aggressive about it.
Danny: Hm... I think I know who can help me with that!
Requirements
Kyle: You rang?
Danny: I want to make my go-kart more offensive!
Kyle: Like, a ‘yo mamma’ joke?
Matt: Oh, that’s easy. Just spray paint insults on it, like this one time--
Danny: No! I mean... my go-kart needs a strong offense to win the race.
Matt: Oh! In that case forget what I said. I’ve never spray painted anything ever and you can’t prove otherwise. But I can help you with this go-kart thing. What you need is lots and lots of firepower!
Kyle: This is gonna be hilarious...
Time - 16 hours
Kyle produces some chalk. Kyle and Matt both sketch out their ideas on the asphalt.
Matt: You’ll want a launcher that swivels, so you can aim it at someone in front, behind, or beside you! I have an idea for one that fired caltrops!
Kyle: The Pokemon?!
Matt: No! Caltrops are spikes you throw on the ground. It’s a way to burst other peoples’ tires! One of many ways.
Danny: That sounds a little violent... but I like it! What’s your idea, Kyle?
Kyle: This oil slick launcher will make your opponents slip and slide! It’ll be all like, ‘gloop gloop gloop!’ and their kart will be like ‘SKRRRRRRT!’ And they’ll be like ‘whoaaa!!!’ and you’ll be like ‘no hard PEELINGS!’ Oh yeah, you’d have to throw a banana peel too. But that’s just to make the joke work.
Danny: That would be pretty funny! These both sound like good ideas...
Kyle: Which do you want to go with?
Danny: Hmmm... The caltrop launcher! No one’s getting past me with spikes all over the road! My enemies will cower before me!
Matt: I like this new side of Danny.
Kyle: Heh. It’s pretty great.
Danny: You do what you gotta do to win!
You work together with Kyle and Matt to make your go-kart ready for a fight!
Danny: Offense... defense... I’ve got it all!
It’s the morning of the big race! You are almost done working on your kart when a rumbling sound roars from outside!
Danny: What’s that?
You look outside to see Koh zooming toward you in a monstrous black go-kart adorned with spikes, painted flames, and bright chrome exhaust pipes. She skids to a stop in front of you!
Koh: Sup, Danny! What do you think? I call it the Were-Hog!
Danny: Nice!
Koh: Come on! It’s almost time for the race and... Wait a minute, your kart’s not decorated yet?!
Requirements
Danny: I was gonna get around to decorations...
Koh: Well you better get to it! Choosing your kart’s look is the best part, besides racing!
Danny: Oh really? I didn’t know you were that into looks, Koh.
Koh: I’m not. But I enjoy customizing the last thing my enemies see before I crush them!
Danny: I’m sold. Let’s do it!
Time - 18 hours
You gather supplies to decorate your kart.
Koh: You gotta make your kart original! Something to make it you.
Danny: Hmm... in that case, I want my go-kart to look like a rocketship!
You adorn your go-kart with sleek, silver siding, space-age fins, and a mock jet engine in the back!
Danny: I’m going to boldly go-kart where no man has gone before!
Koh: Whoa! That looks sick!
Danny: My racer’s all set!
Koh: Then come on! The others are gathering at the track!
You and Koh ride your karts down to an empty space on the edge of campus, where a huge, circular track has been marked off. At the starting line, all your friends are gathered in go-karts of all shapes and sizes... You spot Ezra polishing the finish on a luxurious red kart labeled ‘The Heartbreaker’.
Payton: Ezra, why does your kart have two seats?
Ezra: How else am I gonna drive a date around?
Payton: But that’s useless in a race!
Ezra: Says the girl with the bubble machine on her kart.
Payton: But it makes the Dream Machine so whimsical!
Nearby, Autumn pushes an odd, wheeled sculpture of wire and clay, jingling with metal ornaments...
Danny: Autumn, what is that?
Autumn: It’s my go-kart! Or at least my artistic, abstract representation of what a go-kart means.
Koh: Where’s the engine?!
Autumn: Maybe we are the engines, Koh.
Koh: If this is the competition, my Were-Hog’s gonna have a field day!
As if on cue, the hum of an engine crescendos behind you! A long, sleek racer zooms up to the starting line and skids to a stop, its brilliant gold paint job gleaming in the sun. And sitting in the driver’s seat...
Mia: Hey there, Koh. Is that hideous junkpile really your go-kart?
Koh: Very funny. Where’d you get your kart? Was it one of Kanye’s necklaces?
Mia: I’ll take that as a compliment. The 18 Karat is gonna leave your scrap heap in the dust!
Danny: Well, you two are both forgetting something... If you want first place, you’ll have to get through ME!
As more karts arrive, you all pull up to your positions at the starting line...
Koh: Racers... start your engines!
Requirements
You all rev your engines, eyes on the starting light...
Danny: Come on... come on...
The green light flashes! The flags go up!
Koh: Go!
You floor your gas pedal and rocket down the track!
Danny: Woo!
You speed to an early lead, zooming around the first bend... When suddenly, two karts close in on you with frightening speed!
Sakura: Well, well, well. What do we have here?
Nishan: Target acquired!
Time - 14 hours
Nishan and Sakura close in on either side of you with their go-karts!
Danny: You’ll never catch me!
Nishan zooms in close on a futuristic-looking cart, the wheels lighting up with blue neon!
Nishan: Singularity, prime the glue grenade cannon!
Nishan’s dashboard beeps in acknowledgement, and a cannon on the hood pivots toward you! Meanwhile, Sakura maneuvers alongside you in the Kunoichi, a kart heavily loaded with countless launchers, crossbows, and catapults!
Sakura: No offense, Danny, but I told you offense was the name of the game!
At the flick of a switch, a ninja star launcher swivels to aim at your tires!
Danny: Aah!
You reach for a button on the dashboard! You slam your palm down on the big red button! Your engine roars, and you feel a jolt as your kart surges forward!
Danny: Whoa!
You speed forward just in time to dodge volleys of fire from Nishan and Sakura’s weapons!
Nishan: Target has used evasive maneuvers!
Nishan’s glue grenade misses you and pops over Sakura’s steering wheel, encasing it with thick goop! She loses control!
Sakura: I’m hit!
Meanwhile, Sakura’s ninja stars sail behind you and shred into Nishan’s tires!
Nishan: Aaah!
The two of them spin out onto the dusty shoulder off the track!
Danny: Sorry guys, I’ve got a race to win!
Just when you think you’re safe in the lead, two more racers appear in your rear view mirror!
Wes: I’m comin’ for ya, Danny!
Julian: Back off, Wes. Danny is mine!
Requirements
A colossal, tank-like kart thunders toward you with Julian at the wheel.
Julian: You can’t stop the Offensive Line!
Julian’s kart barrels toward you, knocking your cart aside with ease!
Danny: Hey!
You try to circle around him, but he swerves to block your path!
Wes: Heh... don’t turn your back on me! The Shadow always has a few tricks up its sleeve!
Wes’s stealthy, jet-black racer zips behind you... and fires a grabbling hook onto your kart! The rope goes taut as you begin towing Wes!
Wes: Why waste my own horsepower when I can just mooch off your speed?
Danny: Argh! I’ll never win at this rate!
Time - 12 hours
Julian continues to block your path on the race track, while Wes weighs you down with his grappling hook line!
Julian: No way you’re getting past me, Danny!
Wes: And the faster you go, the faster you pull ME toward the finish line! I’ll take the lead when time is right!
Danny: And you two think I’m just gonna sit by and let that happen? Let me show you what happens when people underestimate me...
You pull up beside Julian, reach for the trigger on your dashboard and launch caltrops! You aim your launcher and fire a volley of metal spikes under Julian’s tires! The rubber pops and hisses as the tire goes flat!
Julian: What? Whoa!
Danny: Courtesy of a rebellious friend of mine!
The Offensive Line swivels and swerves out of control!
Julian: Nooo!
You deftly turn the wheel, maneuvering around Julian’s kart! Behind you, Wes is pulled into Julian’s path!
Wes: Whoa, whoa, wait!
Wes’s grappling hook line snaps as Julian’s massive vehicle knocks him off the road! They both careen into the dirt as you pull away, taking the lead!
Danny: Sorry boys! See you at the finish line!
Wes: Well played, Danny. Well played.
You approach the final stretch of the race! You’re all alone, with the finish line in sight...
Danny: Almost there...
Suddenly, two karts rocket around the bend behind you, gaining on you quickly!
Koh: Prepare to eat worms, Mia!
Mia: In your dreams, Koh!
Requirements
You lean on the accelerator, but Koh and Mia catch up! Soon they are both neck-and-neck with you!
Koh: Sorry, Danny! This is between me and Mia!
Mia: Yeah, stay out of the way so I put Koh in her place!
Danny: Stay out of this? No way! I’m taking first place!
Time - 15 hours
You’re neck-and-neck with Koh and Mia, sandwiched between their karts as the three of you race toward the finish line!
Koh: This race is mine! And if either of you wanna take it from me, I’ll run you BOTH off the road!
Koh turns her wheel, slamming the Were-Hog into the left side of your kart, knocking you into Mia!
Danny: Aah!
Mia: Oh, that’s how you wanna play, Koh? I’m taking you out... along with anyone standing in my way, Danny!
Mia jerks her wheel, slamming the 18 Karat into the right side of your kart!
Danny: Hey!
Caught between the two karts as you approach the finish, you see Koh and Mia preparing to ram you from either side! You slam the breaks, screeching to a stop! The Were-Hog and the 18 Karat crash into each other just a few feet in front of you!
Mia: Aah
Koh: Nooo!
Banged up, Koh and Mia’s kart sputter to a stop! You veer around their steaming wrecks and speed across the finish line!
Danny: Woo! I win!
Soon, all of you have passed the finish line.
Nishan: Well, despite a minor weapons setback... I had fun!
Danny: Me too!
Sakura: But the best part is yet to come! It’s time for the victory party... ...and someone’s gonna be eating worms!
Requirements
Later, at the victory party...
Julian: Attention, everyone! Koh and Mia made a bet... and now it’s time for them to face the music!
Danny: I can’t wait to see this.
Nishan brings out a plate of worms, smiling.
Nishan: Ta-da! You know, these are a delicacy in some countries. Bon appetit!
Danny: All right, both of you!
Mia: Ugh, fine. Let’s get this over with.
Koh: Bring it on!
Koh and Mia both pick up their worms and start eating!
Mia: Ew... I think it’s wiggling around in my mouth. I hope I’m just imagining it.
Nishan: How does it taste? Describe the texture, please. I need to know... for science.
Autumn: Ugh. I’m getting sick just watching this.
Mia: I’ve had worse, actually. It’s like a poor man’s escargot. A very, very poor man.
Koh: Hey, not bad! Tastes like chicken. Really slimy chicken!
Nishan: Actually, that sounds strangely appealing...
Danny: Victory is... sort of gross.
Koh: Well, all racing aside, one thing’s for sure... At least we know Mia could never eat more worms than me!
Mia: Excuse me?
Nishan: There’s no way Mia would ever voluntarily eat worms.
Koh: True. She’s too scared.
Mia: I don’t back down from anything!
The two stare each other down as they reach for more worms!
Danny: Maybe there’s something else you guys can compete in? Like, uh, video games? More go-kart racing?
Autumn: I don’t think I can handle watching anyone eat more worms...
Nishan: Really? This is actually making me kind of hungry... whaddya say, Payton? Should we give these creepy crawlies a try?
Payton: Ew! Ew! Ew!
Payotn takes off at a sprint as Nishan picks up a worm and chases her, laughing villainously!
Wes: I’ve never seen Payton move that fast! There’s no way Nishan’s gonna catch her!
Danny: Wanna bet?
Koh: Guys! Guys! Guys!
Danny: What is it?
Koh: I was just at the old scrapyard... you’ll never guess what I found!
Sakura: You’ll tell us anyway. Skip cutscene.
Koh: An engine! And a whole bunch of other machine parts!
Mia: So?
Koh: So we can build GO-KARTS! And then make a tack on campus and race them!
Nishan: That sounds awesome! Count me in!

Julian continues to block your path on the race track, while Wes weighs you down with his grappling hook line!
Julian: No way you’re getting past me, Danny!
Wes: And the faster you go, the faster you pull ME toward the finish line! I’ll take the lead when time is right!
Danny: And you two think I’m just gonna sit by and let that happen? Let me show you what happens when people underestimate me...
You pull up beside Julian, reach for the trigger on your dashboard and launch caltrops! You aim your launcher and fire a volley of metal spikes under Julian’s tires! The rubber pops and hisses as the tire goes flat!
Julian: What? Whoa!
Danny: Courtesy of a rebellious friend of mine!
The Offensive Line swivels and swerves out of control!
Julian: Nooo!
You deftly turn the wheel, maneuvering around Julian’s kart! Behind you, Wes is pulled into Julian’s path!
Wes: Whoa, whoa, wait!
Wes’s grappling hook line snaps as Julian’s massive vehicle knocks him off the road! They both careen into the dirt as you pull away, taking the lead!
Danny: Sorry boys! See you at the finish line!
Wes: Well played, Danny. Well played.
You approach the final stretch of the race! You’re all alone, with the finish line in sight...
Danny: Almost there...
Suddenly, two karts rocket around the bend behind you, gaining on you quickly!
Koh: Prepare to eat worms, Mia!
Mia: In your dreams, Koh!
Requirements
- Danny
You lean on the accelerator, but Koh and Mia catch up! Soon they are both neck-and-neck with you!
Koh: Sorry, Danny! This is between me and Mia!
Mia: Yeah, stay out of the way so I put Koh in her place!
Danny: Stay out of this? No way! I’m taking first place!
Time - 15 hours
You’re neck-and-neck with Koh and Mia, sandwiched between their karts as the three of you race toward the finish line!
Koh: This race is mine! And if either of you wanna take it from me, I’ll run you BOTH off the road!
Koh turns her wheel, slamming the Were-Hog into the left side of your kart, knocking you into Mia!
Danny: Aah!
Mia: Oh, that’s how you wanna play, Koh? I’m taking you out... along with anyone standing in my way, Danny!
Mia jerks her wheel, slamming the 18 Karat into the right side of your kart!
Danny: Hey!
Caught between the two karts as you approach the finish, you see Koh and Mia preparing to ram you from either side! You slam the breaks, screeching to a stop! The Were-Hog and the 18 Karat crash into each other just a few feet in front of you!
Mia: Aah
Koh: Nooo!
Banged up, Koh and Mia’s kart sputter to a stop! You veer around their steaming wrecks and speed across the finish line!
Danny: Woo! I win!
Soon, all of you have passed the finish line.
Nishan: Well, despite a minor weapons setback... I had fun!
Danny: Me too!
Sakura: But the best part is yet to come! It’s time for the victory party... ...and someone’s gonna be eating worms!
Requirements
- Complete a Party with Koh and Mia
Later, at the victory party...
Julian: Attention, everyone! Koh and Mia made a bet... and now it’s time for them to face the music!
Danny: I can’t wait to see this.
Nishan brings out a plate of worms, smiling.
Nishan: Ta-da! You know, these are a delicacy in some countries. Bon appetit!
Danny: All right, both of you!
Mia: Ugh, fine. Let’s get this over with.
Koh: Bring it on!
Koh and Mia both pick up their worms and start eating!
Mia: Ew... I think it’s wiggling around in my mouth. I hope I’m just imagining it.
Nishan: How does it taste? Describe the texture, please. I need to know... for science.
Autumn: Ugh. I’m getting sick just watching this.
Mia: I’ve had worse, actually. It’s like a poor man’s escargot. A very, very poor man.
Koh: Hey, not bad! Tastes like chicken. Really slimy chicken!
Nishan: Actually, that sounds strangely appealing...
Danny: Victory is... sort of gross.
Koh: Well, all racing aside, one thing’s for sure... At least we know Mia could never eat more worms than me!
Mia: Excuse me?
Nishan: There’s no way Mia would ever voluntarily eat worms.
Koh: True. She’s too scared.
Mia: I don’t back down from anything!
The two stare each other down as they reach for more worms!
Danny: Maybe there’s something else you guys can compete in? Like, uh, video games? More go-kart racing?
Autumn: I don’t think I can handle watching anyone eat more worms...
Nishan: Really? This is actually making me kind of hungry... whaddya say, Payton? Should we give these creepy crawlies a try?
Payton: Ew! Ew! Ew!
Payotn takes off at a sprint as Nishan picks up a worm and chases her, laughing villainously!
Wes: I’ve never seen Payton move that fast! There’s no way Nishan’s gonna catch her!
Danny: Wanna bet?
