Equestria is at risk, Discord has teamed together with all of the rogues and villains of Equestria. He demands to take over Equestria in the most awesome way possible, a series of races around Equestria. Why? Because it's just awesome. Celestia calls her greatest heroes, the Elements of Harmony to challenge Discord at his own game.
Think Mario Kart meets humanized ponies.
(Credit to Superpinkbrony12 for the title)
This... is an incredible concept.
Tracking.

Thanks... I think? To me it's incredibly silly. I don't even have a title for it xD
1504746
Eh, I mainly just want to see where this goes. Turtle shells being fired, perhaps?
Also, Trixie needs a car. Or Nightmare Moon or something. We need to see some form of dramatic late-entry.
1504756
You see, I was thinking Trixie, however the problem is, I wanted a rival for each person when they travel through the different towns with Discord as the final race with Twilight. And so, the issue is that if I were to add Trixie, she'd have to go against Twilight then who goes against Discord?
I don't care what the hell you do with this story. I just want a race with them set up as you see in your cover picture. LET THE INSANITY BEGIN!
(And I think you just created a new Equestrian holiday.)
I say you call this fic "The Equestriaball Run" it's a pun on "Cannonball Run" a movie about a cross country race.
I think Pinkie Pie's family don't deserve to be cast as villians for Pinkie Pie, even Cranky Doodle Donkey or Dount Joe would have been a better fit, but maybe Discord's blackmailing them into racing for him becuase if they don't he'll kill their precious Pinkamena.
1504780 Celestia does.
Give Celestia and Luna a car, Double Dash style.
1504918
The opening description of them is actually the cover picture, well, at least the best I could do with it. But I do actually have AJ pointing the shot gun in the first race and using it.
1505694
THAT'S IT! You're a genius. And I actually do have a heart-warming reason why they are in the race. Trust me, it'll be a tear jerker... To me anyway.
1508461
And Chryssi will be Discord's second racer.... I like that Double Dash style idea! Also, I would add the turtle shells, but I want it to be inspired by Mario Kart, not something I can be sued for
1504918
Also, what's the holiday? I don't remember ever mentioning a holiday.
Thanks for using my title suggestion.
Also I look forward to Pinkie Pie getting some answers out of her family.
1510451
It was genius! And she will, trust me.
1510459 One way or another the Pies are going to talk, even if they don't FEEL like it. (Not implying anything)
1510475
Lol, it'll be a mix of them wanting to talk and not.
1510206 Well it doesn't need to be turtle shells. Pinkie could throw Gummy or Pound and Pumpkin, and Applejack could probably throw some apple pies/regular apples on the road to slip up other drivers... just an idea.
1510657
I hope you read the latest chapter because something similar to that happened. It was the best part of the chapter.
1510663 I plan to! However I've been gone for two days and have a whole bunch of updates to get to.
1510667
Well of course ^^ I understand completely.
I read it. Awesome chapter!
This gives me some ideas. Is it at all possible that I could write a guest chapter in the future?
1510207
Equestria Insanity 500 (Like you said, Discord's version of Mario Kart in Equestria.)
1510707
OF COURSE!
1511073
Oh, I see.
1510657 Why would she throw the twins, they could get hurt and I guarntee The Cakes wouldn't like that!
1510519 Well whatever their reason for racing is it better be good or *makes slashing noise while stroking finger across chin*!
1511643
It'll be sadish.
1511688 I just hope it was something they felt they had to do and not something that they could have prevented, I'm still sticking to my theory that Discord's blackmailed them into racing with him so he won't kill Pinkie Pie and they don't want to take the chance that they'll lose their daughter before they have a chance to patch things up.
1511643 Pssh... good point.
This story is a stinking pile of shit! And guess what? I DON'T CARE! Why? CAUSE ITS FUCKING AWESOME!!!
WRITE MORE I SAY! MOAR!!!
1513590 It's common sense you know.
1515556 I wouldn't call it common sense... there are plenty of reasons to throw a baby!
1515642 I'm afraid to ask what kind of reasons would justify such a thing, besides why throw babies when can you use magic?
1515694 But I thought that Twily and Rar's couldn't use magic, considering this is a humanized fic.
Also, throwing a baby has a small chance of teaching it how to fly.
1515727 I'm talking about Pinkie Pie using her magic of pulling things out of thin air, or Twilight casting spells.
Also that's not a good reason, that's child abuse.
1515755 I see...
1515776 You'd better!
1515727
Uh... I've used magic... Multiple times in this.
1521617 Aaaaah.
1524967
I mean, there was the wind magic and Twilight drives the car via magic.
Oh good lord I'm stupid. I was half way done with chapter 4 and I didn't save... UGH! How stupid can one get?
Interested in where this is going.
1615127
Thanks. I am too.
1615146 Cool.
Also, do you have plans for a Canterlot race? If not, can I still do a guest chapter?
*Celestia and Luna drive up from behind, knocking Gilda out of her car with a royal scepter.
What, you thought you could just have your little race without me?
1615250
Canterlot will be the last one with Discord. You're still able to have a guest chapter! It doesn't matter and I'll even let you do whichever one you want. The only exceptions are this next one, the Cloudsdale one with Gilda and RD, the last race, and the Las Pegasus one with Rarity and the Diamond Dogs. Other than that, I'll let you do that act or just a chapter of that act. I'll list the cities that they will be racing in to you and you're free to pick from there.
This is getting INTENSE! *Watches closely* I'm waiting for the next one, and I'm wanting to see where this is going. Keep it up good sir/madam, whichever you are!
1615376 I'd say Applejack gets the Manehattan race against the Flim Flam Brothers, and Fluttershy gets the Baltimare race against Iron Will, and of course Twilight will race against Discord in the Canterlot race.
1615634
Well thanks! I hope you like it!
1616196
I was thinking those places, but I was going to give him the option because he's writing the chapter.
1615376 Awesome. Could you just PM me the list or something?
1618391 If I didn't, I would neither have upvoted nor favorited it. But, this is like I said, really good. So, yes, I like it.
1621536
I meant I hope you like the rest of the story But thanks for that too!
Is the title a parody of the Gumball 3000?
1701958
No, it's a parody of "The Cannonball Run"
1707188
Ah. With the comedy aspect I thought of the GB 3K but alrighty then.
