A poop-powered robot and a chaos gremlin race for a million bucks. Peak 80s anime energy.
Arale and her friends learn of a World Grand Prix being organised by the Radial Kingdom. The prize is marrying Princess Front (a dead ringer to Ms. Yamabuki) or 1 million dollars. Of course they decide to enter for the money. Not so for Dr. Mashirito; he is going for the princess and will stop at nothing to win! The princess though has her own plan, which involves Ms. Yamabuki, and that of course means even Dr. Slump decides to enter with his trusty Borobo. Let the race begin...
Writing
Gags hit harder than plot makes sense.
Practical Effects
Borobo's poop fuel gag commits fully.
Director
Minoru Okazaki
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film captures Toriyama's pre-Dragon Ball peak: pure gag manga energy with zero shonen power-scaling pressure.
The World Grand Prix structure directly parodies 1965's The Great Race and 1968's Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines—Okazaki loved his vintage Hollywood homages.

どうせ作者が合致しているならば、ドラゴンボール作品内にドクターキャラクターらの登場だけで無くその逆でドクタースランプ作品内にもドラゴンボールキャラクターらの登場も描いた一方通行形式にし無い合作品を今後鳥山明に制作して欲しい。
