‘Welcome one and all to the first race of the Nintendo Racing Championship (N.R.C) here at Mushroom Kingdom circuit. The racers are currently warming up for what should be a great race. While we wait for the race to start I’ll summarise the rules of N.R.C. There are ten teams each with two drivers, the race lasts for 10 laps with the top five drivers gaining points. 1st place = 10 points, 2nd = 7 points, 3rd = 5 points, 4th = 3 points and 5th = 1 point! The following pick ups are available on the track, green shells, bananas, red shells, bomb-om’s and mushroom boosts!’
(Down on the track)
Knuckles: This race is mine
Wario: Think again, I’mma gonna win
DK: Oo oo ahh ahh
Wario storms up through the leading pack and takes the lead with Knuckles close behind. They speed round the corner and drive through the first lot of pick ups, Wario nabs some bananas while DK picks up a bomb, Wario quickly drops the banana in DK’s path, he spins and the bomb-om explodes!
Wario: Ha ha ha!
They carry on further along the track, Wario staying in front with Knuckles right behind him. They’re closely followed by Mario, Link, Kirby and Tingle; suddenly from nowhere the famous Sonic music booms in the background as Sonic drives by at a lighting pace with the mushroom boost.
Sonic: They don’t call me Sonic for nothing, now where are those chilly dogs?
Mario: Mamma mia, dama Sega mascot, he’s a nothing compared to me!
Trailing behind in last place, Bowser resorts to some dastardly tactics!
Bowser: Here, hold this Mushroom head
He chucks a bomb onto the lap of poor Toad; it explodes sending Toad into the air and his kart into the wall
Commentator: That looks like our first racer out, Toad!
The race continues, minus poor Toad, Bowser continues, catching up with Jigglypuff. He rams into the back of her and she loses control sending her onto the gravel!
Bowser: Rahhhhh
Jigglypuff: Jiggly!!!
She rejoins the track but now badly behind, further up the track and fierce battle is underway for 10th place as Peach tries to pass Luigi!
Peach: Luigi, please get out of my way!
Luigi: Mamma mia princess, I canna let a u past!
Peach: but I have baked a cake for you
Luigi: Wella in thata case
Luigi slows up; Peach sneakily places a bomb-om in it and hands it over to Luigi. She quickly speeds by.
Luigi: I lovea the Princess’ cakes, what the?
The bomb-om explodes and cake is blown all over the track (and Luigi), it causes him to spin out of control!
Peach: Hehe, he was always a sucker for a piece of cake!
Time goes by, Wario stays way out in front with Sonic and Knuckles following and the majority of the pack behind them. Yoshi (in 12th place) starts to speed up so as to catch the chasing pack; only Waluigi stands in his way!
Yoshi: Yoshi
He sticks his tong out, grabs Waluigi (kart as well) and spits him out; he crashes into the tyre wall and retires from the race!
Waluigi: Waaaa!
Yoshi: Yoshi!
Meanwhile Ganondorf and Link battle it out to gain a place.
Ganondorf: Wohahaha, Zelda is mine
Link: Nooo, I must save her!
Daisy seeing the advantage speeds up with a boost and zooms through the two enemies. Diddy Kong and Roy meanwhile carry on as they try to catch up with the trailing pack. Marth grabs a red shell and throws it down, it whacks into Diddy Kong sending him in a spin, he rejoins but now badly behind.
Up in front the action really hots up, Sonic and Knuckles are gaining on Wario while the trailing pack continue their battles to finish in the points, final lap draws near as Sonic and Knuckles finally catch Wario but he has plan.
Wario: This is my race, take this!
Sonic: What the?
Wario drops two green shells, one hits Knuckles sending him into the dirt but the other just misses.
Knuckles: Sonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sonic: You dastardly sneak!
Sonic draws up beside him but Wario uses his backup plan,
Wario: Here’s a present runt
He chucks a banana but Sonic (using his speed) catches it and chucks it back, Wario drives right over it and he spins to a halt, Sonic speeds by!
Wario: Waaaaaaa
Sonic Ha Ha take that Dr Robot.., oh no, this aint a Sonic game!
The chasing pack speed by Wario, Bowser crashes straight imto him and they both end up in the gravel!
Mario: Ha, the bad a guys nether winna!
Sonic speeds home in a resounding win with Yoshi in 2nd, Mario 3rd, Kirby 4th and Daisy in 5th!
Sonic: Yeah, hot chilly dogs, I won!
Mario: Mamma Mia, I gotta do better!
Yoshi: Yoshi
Daisy: Is that all you ever say?
Well a well deserved win by Sonic there, hope you join us next time when we journey to the land of Hyrule for our second race, see you there!
COme on yoshi u can do it
And how many rounds will there be?
Welcome once again to NRC as we join the racers here at Green Hill circuit where the Sonic team hope to have an advantage! The following pick-ups are available, Sonic Boost, Green Shield, Robotnik explosives and oil slicks! The lights are up, and they are go!
Mario takes an early lead after his disastrous race last time. Tingle follows just behind. Yoshi uses a quick burst of speed to make it past Jigglypuff.
Mario: I musta win this time!
Further down the track Sonic tries to use the home advantage against Donkey Kong, he grabs a Oil slick pick up (as made by Robotnik engineering) and lets it loose behind.
Sonic: Ha ha, take that you over sized chimp
Donkey Kong: Woo ho ah!
DK looses control of his kart and it starts to spin while Sonic carries on triumphantly. Just behind a fierce battle is taking place between Roy and Wario as they both try to gain places.
Roy: I shall beat you again!
Wario: Not this time!
Roy: Huh
Wario: I’ma gonna win!
Wario desperate for some more points starts to ram into the side of Roy. Roy, keeping his cool tries to hit back but Wario is to strong for him. He’s knocked off the course and he crashes into a wall of tyres!
Wario: Ha ha ha
Marth: No, I’ll get him for your darl…, oops, I shouldn’t have said that aloud!
Wario: Yeah come and getta me you nancy boy!
The battle continues while ahead Knuckles tries to hold of Diddy Kong and Luigi tries to pass Ganondorf!
The laps roll by, Sonic using his advantage makes it into 3rd place but Mario is still far ahead. Yoshi and Bowser also come to blows as bad boy Bowser tries to take revenge on the green dino.
Bowser: You may have beaten me in Yoshi’s Island and Yoshi’s Story but this time you will not, Rahaaa!
Yoshi: (rudely interrupted)
Daisy: Don’t say it
Yoshi: ……. I was going to say that Bowser doesn’t stand a chance!
Daisy: Since when have you talked?
Yoshi: Well after Yoshi’s Story I took a break from Games and study languages at Mushroom Kingdom Academy!
Daisy: What else did you learn?
Yoshi: Well I got a Degree in Chemistry and
Daisy: Okay, ok, so your one smart dino!
Yoshi: well yes!
Bowser: Do you mind I’m trying to beat this punk of a dino!
Yoshi: Yoshi!
Daisy: Oh no!
Bowser nabs a Robotnik explosives pack and launches it at Yoshi, he ducks and it explodes at the wheels of Daisy!
Bowser: Dam missed
Daisy: Arrrrh
The race finally draws to a close, Mario is out in front but a surprising competitor had made it through to 2nd place!
Link: 3rd was not good enough, I must win for my Princess!
He uses a boost and blasts past Mario!
Mario: Nooooooo
Link races over the finish line to a great cheer from the crowd, while Mario settles for 2nd! Closely behind is Kirby while Sonic just makes the 4th place over Ganondorf!
Hope you have enjoyed this 3rd race and you join us for the next race in Kirby’s Dream Course (LOL)! Goodbye!
