Plot synopsis
Chapter 1: The TV Program Arrives!
The story begins at an early afternoon in Dream Land, where Cappy and Walky are discussing rumors of a large footprint being found near a forest, with growling noises heard near it. Right when they finish up, they notice a giant spaceship landing nearby, and the two head over to investigate. The spaceship lands, and a plump man walks out of it. Cappy and Walky notice him, and ask the man who he is. He introduces himself as Kizario, the famous producer of Comet TV. Walky recognizes Comet TV and gets excited, but Cappy is still skeptical, and asks why Kizario came. He tells them that he plans to film a TV production in Dream Land. This makes Walky even more excited, and he asks if he can be in it. Kizario allows Walky to be in it, and asks him to tell everyone in Dream Land about the production. Walky excitedly runs off to tell everyone while Cappy follows, still unsure about trusting Kizario.
The next day, Kizario is invited to Castle Dedede. King Dedede greets him, and they both sit down to discuss the program. Dedede immediately wants the program to be about him, and suggests ideas of what his program could be, such as an action, romance, or drama show. Kizario turns down his ideas, and says that he plans to make a different kind of show. Just then, Kirby barges into the hall, and is excited about the program. He suggests making a gourmet show led by him, and acts out how he would do it. Everyone tries to quiet him down, but Kirby does not listen, and keeps going on about the food he'd present in the show. King Dedede yells loudly at Kirby to finally shut him up, which makes Kirby mad. He scolds the pink ball at first, but then reconsiders. Dedede realizes that he could make a gourmet-action-romance-drama show starring him. Kizario cuts both of them off, and Kirby notices him for the first time. Kizario introduces himself to Kirby, who immediately gets very excited to meet the show's producer. Kizario calls Walky into the room, and he reveals that the TV program will be a race, with all kinds of challenges along the way. Kirby and King Dedede are disappointed at first, but they immediately become interested when Kizario mentions that there will be an eating contest. After he mentions that there will be a special prize for the winner, the two start arguing about what food it should be, and how much. Kizario stops the two to tell them he can make whatever they want, and then he leaves.
After Kizario and Walky leave, Waddle Dee, who had been there the whole time, is unsure about trusting Kizario. He asks Kirby and King Dedede about it, who just laugh it off and think Kizario is perfectly trustworthy. Dedede commands Waddle Dee to be in the race too, which surprises him. Waddle Dee assures them that he is not very confident, and is just not cut out for a race. Kirby ignores this, and tells him that they'll be training together the next day, much to Waddle Dee's dismay.
Chapter 2: Walky's Favor
At the Battleship Halberd, Captain Vul tells Meta Knight that they are receiving a transmission from Walky. Walky is then displayed on a big screen inside the Halberd, and tells him about the race. Meta Knight shows no interest as Walky goes on about his role in the program as a commentator. Walky then adds they need a way to publicize the program, so he asks Meta Knight if he can appear in the show. Walky tells him that someone so popular and well-known across the galaxy like Meta Knight would be sure to draw lots of attention to the program. Meta Knight still has no interest, and refuses to be in the show. Just before he can cut off the communication, the Meta-Knights chime in. They all want Meta Knight to be the co-commentator of the race. Captain Vul brings up that the four Meta-Knights are asking this because they also want to participate in the race. They admit to this, and beg Meta Knight to let them participate too. This makes Meta Knight reluctantly accepts the invitation, which makes Walky immensely happy.
The next day, Meta Knight walks to Castle Dedede. On the way, he notices Kirby and Waddle Dee training for the race. He asks what they're doing, and Kirby happily tells him that they are working out. Kirby is effortlessly having an easy time, while Waddle Dee is all tired out. When Meta Knight continues walking toward the castle, he notices a mysterious man dressed in all black, standing in the shade of a tree. When he goes after it, the shady figure disappears in a puff of smoke, which makes Meta Knight feel really suspicious.
Meta Knight arrives at Castle Dedede. He notices King Dedede negotiating with a flashy man he had never seen before. Kizario introduces himself, and asks Meta Knight if he wants to participate in the race. Meta Knight says that he'll only be commentating, which surprises Kizario, because he never needed a commentator. King Dedede ignores this, and gloats about how well-known Meta Knight is, and how Meta Knight's presence will make the show popular. Kizario thinks this will interfere with a plan of his, but he quickly tries to hide this. Meta Knight changes the subject, and asks how many staff members there will be. Kizario says he is the only one at the moment, but assures that there will be lots of staff members when the show starts. When Meta Knight asks about the shady man he saw, Kizario gets all nervous, and claims that he knows nothing about it. Kizario quickly says his goodbyes and nervously leaves in a rush.
As King Dedede wonders about the shady man, Meta Knight asks him if Kizario is a real TV producer. Dedede assures him that he is, but there is no evidence. This makes Meta Knight even more suspicious of Kizario. Meanwhile, Kizario is running away from Castle Dedede, scared about the shady man. He remarks that he wants to find "that thing" before the shady man does, and that Meta Knight might interfere with his plan.
Chapter 3: Race Start!!
A few days later, the TV staff arrives in Dream Land on a spaceship. The contestants watch the spaceship land, and get very excited. Kizario announces to everyone that the race will begin the next morning, and that there will be a splendid prize for the winner. The contestants get even more excited about the prize. Before leaving, Kizario sternly tells the staff to set up the course all across every corner of Dream Land.
The next morning, the contestants meet at the foot of Mt. Dedede as they were told to. The cameras start recording, and the race is energetically introduced by Walky, who got his job as the commentator. He introduces the famous Meta Knight to the audience, as his co-commentator. After some disinterested commentary from Meta Knight, Walky turns the attention over to Kirby. After interviewing him, King Dedede butts in to get his own interview, and then the Meta-Knights interrupt after that. After all the interviews, Kizario comes in to announce the rules of the race to everyone. He explains that everyone will first have to pass through a mirror maze, and then they will get to choose a vehicle to ride after exiting the maze. He then states that there will be different kinds of challenges at each checkpoint, which are required. To avoid any more questions, Kizario quickly gets all the contestants to stand at the starting line.
At last, the race begins. The contestants rush towards the glass maze. Kirby gets in first, but he immediately gets lost, due to the walls being made of glass and mirrors. As the rest of the contestants get into the maze, Kirby searches for Waddle Dee. After calling each others' names, the two of them find each other, only to bump into a glass wall separating them. Everyone else struggles with the maze just as much as them. King Dedede, gets frustrated, and decides to just smash through the walls with his hammer. Walky is disappointed at this, but Meta Knight points out that are was no rule against destroying the maze. The contestants follow Dedede through the broken walls to get through the maze easily.
Meanwhile, a regular family in a household on another planet has heard about the race. A boy tells his dad about it, only for him to insist that the boy should just do his homework instead of watching TV. After bringing up that Meta Knight is in the show, the father immediately becomes interested, and they turn on their TV to watch the race. Similar conversations occur in homes across the whole universe, and many people begin watching the race.
The contestants escape the maze, and reach the first checkpoint. There are all sorts of Air Ride Machines lined up at it, which all fascinate the contestants. King Dedede insists on choosing first because he escaped the maze first, so he shoos away everyone else with his hammer. After some consideration, the Rex Wheelie catches his attention. Right when Dedede gets on it, the Rex Wheelie immediately dashes forward at an incredible speed. The TV staff explains that the Air Ride Machines start running once they're mounted, and are only controlled with steering. This makes everyone nervous. Burning Leo chooses the Formula Star, which dashes even faster, and is hard to steer. It crashes into a tree, which scares the contestants. Cappy chooses the Jet Star, which has good speed in the air. The Jet Star quickly soars up into the sky, much to Cappy's dismay. After all of these mistakes, Walky warns the contestants to be careful of which machine they choose. Axe Knight chooses the Shadow Star, which appeals to him the most. The other Meta-Knights get jealous, and they board the Shadow Star with him. The machine unstably soars forward due to all their weight. The rest of the athletes choose their vehicles and soar forward to catch up with the race.
The last two contestants, Kirby and Waddle Dee, get out of the the maze late. After bumping into a glass wall earlier, Waddle Dee was knocked out, and Kirby had to carry him through the maze. Now they have no choice but to choose from the last two Air Ride Machines. Kirby chooses the Warp Star, which starts glowing when he boards it. Meta Knight points out that this means the Warp Star is very compatible with Kirby. The Warp Star slowly speeds up as Kirby maneuvers it with perfect control. As Kizario is watching the contestants, a staff member informs him that Meta Knight's appearance has made the race incredibly popular. This boosts Kizario's confidence a lot. The only contestant left at the checkpoint is Waddle Dee. He finally regains his energy, and boards the last Air Ride Machine left: the Wheelie Scooter. It is very slow, and makes rattling noises as it moves. Waddle Dee is content with this, and presses on.
Chapter 4: Gourmet Challenge!
As King Dedede is far ahead in the lead, Mr. Frosty catches up to him. Walky points out that this is due to Mr. Frosty choosing the easy-to-control Slick Star, which is a great fit for him. Dedede tries to swing his hammer at him, but he easily dodges his attacks. Mr. Frosty hurls a block of ice at him to fight back. Mr. Frosty and King Dedede then get into a fight, and go off track. The other contestants pass them and reach the second checkpoint.
At the second checkpoint, the TV staff introduces the "Superspicy Gourmet Challenge of Terror", where contestants must each eat a bowl of spicy food that they prepared. The foods are carried to each of the contestants, and they are all unsure about it. Kirby happily swallows all his food whole, which makes the others comfortable enough to eat theirs too. The contestants are in agony from the excruciating spiciness, and they gulp up as much water as they can. Kirby feels nothing at first, but then it hits him. Meta Knight points out that Kirby did not taste the spiciness when he swallowed the food whole, and instead the heat exploded inside his stomach. Kirby quickly gulps up the staff's entire water supply, but even that is not enough to quench his burning mouth.
After being so focused on fighting each other, King Dedede and Mr. Frosty finally remember the race, and they walk up to the second checkpoint. They eat their spicy food, and have the same painful reaction to it as the other contestants. Kirby is still in pain from the spice, and is in search of water. He inhales Mr. Frosty to get the Ice ability, which finally satisfies him, as his insides are all cold now. To refresh his body, Kirby lets out a freezing ice breath at everything around him, which freezes nearby objects like the table and bowls. All the other contestants are still in pain, so they quickly eat the ice, which finally gets rid of the spiciness in their mouths.
Meanwhile, Kizario is watching them in the shade of a tree. Meta Knight comes in, which shocks Kizario, who nervously runs away. This makes Meta Knight even more suspicious of him.
Kizario comes to the second checkpoint to congratulate the contestants. Meta Knight tells Kirby to release Mr. Frosty, so he does so by dropping his Ice ability. Mr. Frosty is still in pain from the spicy food, and wanders away to search for a lake. Everyone else gets back on their Air Ride Machines to continue the race.
After everyone leaves, Waddle Dee arrives at the second checkpoint. The staff is already cleaning up, and Waddle Dee worries that he might be disqualified for being too slow. The staff feels bad for him, so they let him have some of the spicy seasoning that is left over. After this, Waddle Dee gets back on his Wheelie Scooter to continue after the others.
