Boom Boom and Pom Pom's New Year's Eve

On a beautiful New Year's Eve at Bowser's Castle, Boom Boom and Pom Pom are enjoying the festivities as they await the arrival of 2022. Boom Boom smiled at her and said, "Well, we made it to the end of the year."

"You said it," Pom Pom replied, "It has been a wild year for us and after all, a new year means a new beginning and look, all of the Koopa Troopas are loading up the fireworks for the midnight countdown."

"Me too. Looks like we'll be having a blast once that time comes and since we're here, let's take a trip down memory lane with some of the adventures that we've done this year in this fanfic. Remember our Coin Runners rematch?"

Pom Pom smiled and said, "Yeah, I really enjoyed that battle with you and it was a close battle between us."


From Coin Runners Deluxe Rematch: Boom Boom vs. Pom Pom

It's a beautiful day for a battle at Battle Stadium where Boom Boom and Pom Pom are enjoying the sights of the stadium. He said, "I can't believe we're in Battle Stadium from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and I love the statues of Mario and Bowser."

"Me too," Pom Pom replied, "You know, this year marks four years of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and remember our very first Coin Runners match?"

"Yeah! That match was amazing and I won by a single coin."

"I know, buddy. It was a very close battle indeed. Say, do you want to have a rematch right here at Battle Stadium to honor this occasion?"

"Sure! Let's do it right here... RIGHT NOW!"

With that, the crowd erupted in cheers as they heard Boom Boom's call.

Pom Pom smiled and said, "Great! To the Pipe Frame!"

Boom Boom and Pom Pom ran to their Pipe Frame as they prepare for the rematch.

When they got there, Boom Boom said, "Well buddy, this is it. Our first rematch and this time, it will be even better than our first match."

"I know, Boom Boom," Pom Pom replied as they entered their karts, "I can't wait for this battle and the crowd is ready for action. Now then, who'll be the referee?"

"That will be me," I said as I entered the stadium with a smile.

Everyone saw me as they cheered for my appearance.

"Hey guys," I said to them, "What are you doing here?"

"We're going to have a rematch, breath20k," Boom Boom replied with a smile, "And we need a referee for this amazing showdown."

I looked at him and said, "Well, you came to the right person because this year marks four years of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and this stadium is perfect for this battle. So, are you ready to have some fun collecting coins?"

"You bet!" Pom Pom and Boom Boom replied with a smile.

"Great! Now you know how the game works, right?"

"Of course we know the rules, breath20k, " Boom Boom said, "Let's do this."

"Very well, then. Now before we begin, I have a very special surprise for the both of you. Because this is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's fourth anniversary, we're going to put four minutes on the clock for this special occasion! Scoreboard, would you like to do the honors?"

The scoreboard agreed with me as the screen shows the coin count for both players along with the four-minute timer. With that, the battle is all set.

I smiled at them and said, "Okay! Now that everything is all set, we can start the match! Boom Boom and Pom Pom... ARE YOU READY?"

"Ready," Boom Boom and Pom Pom replied at the same time.

"All right, then! The battle will begin at the green light! Good luck to the both of you and have fun. So without further ado..."

I took out the signal light, came to them and then, I made the official announcement.

"LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!"

With the words shouted, I pressed the green button as Boom Boom and Pom Pom turned their attention at the lights with the first one shining red. It all comes down to this: The start of the rematch.

3...

2...

1...

Boom Boom and Pom Pom smiled at each other, waited for the right moment and then...

It is time.

GO!

With the light turned green, Boom Boom and Pom Pom took off at the same time as they collected their first coin in the process. With that, the rematch is now officially underway.

"And we are underway, ladies and gentlemen," I said to the crowd, "Boom Boom and Pom Pom have collected their first coin as we begin this rematch here at Battle Stadium. They had their very first match but now, they're back again to honor four years of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This is going to be an awesome game, folks!"

Boom Boom and Pom Pom are enjoying the excitement as they collect coins while using items to take them away.

After two minutes of battling, I said, "We're halfway through this rematch and the score is tied at 10 at this moment. Looks like these two players know how to play this game very well! Right, guys?"

The crowd agreed with me as they cheered for them very loudly.

It was a battle for them as Boom Boom and Pom Pom kept on going. Coins, items, you name it."

Just then, the Final Lap fanfare was heard all across the stadium as the timer shows the final minute of the battle. Everyone is gearing up for the final part as the battle raged on.

After another thirty seconds, the timer changed to yellow. I looked at it and said, "Thirty seconds left!"

Boom Boom and Pom Pom kept on fighting as more coins came in to the stadium with only a few seconds left.

"Twenty seconds! Get ready for the final countdown, guys!"

The crowd agreed as they joined me in the final countdown with the timer flashing red. It all comes down to this, the final ten seconds.

"10..."

"9..."

"8..."

"7..."

"6..."

"5..."

"4..."

"3..."

BUZZ!

The final buzzer went off as the timer finally hits zero, signaling the end of the match. I heard that sound and then...

It's official.

"FINISH!"

With the word shouted, the crowd erupted in big cheers as Boom Boom and Pom Pom finished the match with a lot of coins.


"I love that battle," Boom Boom said with a smile.

"Me too," Pom Pom replied, "The both of us competing for coins to honor 4 years of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe."

"Attention all minions, it is now 11:55PM. Five minutes until the New Year," Bowser said.

Boom Boom looked at the clock and said, "Well, it looks like we have enough time for one more memory and that is our roller coaster ride. I had a great time riding with you on the Boom Pom."

"A fantastic ride on a beautiful spring day," Pom Pom replied as they share another memory.


From Boom Boom and Pom Pom's Coaster Ride

Pom Pom smiled and said, "Well Boom Boom, this is it. Are you ready to experience Boom Pom for the first time?"

"You bet," Boom Boom replied with a smile.

"Then let's do this! Koopa Troopa, would you like to do the honors?"

"It would be my pleasure," Koopa Troopa said with a smile.

Then he came to the control panel and said, "Please keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times. Ready?"

"Ready," Boom Boom and Pom Pom replied at the same time.

"All right, then! Boom Boom and Pom Pom..."

Boom Boom and Pom Pom smiled at each other, waited for a few seconds and then...

The moment came.

"ENJOY THE RIDE!"

With the words shouted, Koopa Troopa pressed the button on the control panel and then, the ride started to move. It is time for Boom Boom and Pom Pom to take their first ride on Boom Pom.

As the car moves up the hill, Pom Pom said, "Well Boom Boom, here we are! I hope you'll enjoy this ride and remember, I'll be here with you."

"Thanks, Pom Pom," Boom Boom replied, "I can't wait to see how fast this coaster will move."

"Me too! Now hold on tight because here it comes."

After climbing up over 300 feet, the Boom Pom has reached the top of the hill. Now comes the most important part of every roller coaster, the plunge. Boom Bom and Pom Pom held on tight, waited for the right moment and then...

WHOOSH!

The coaster took its 300 foot plunge.

"YEAH!" Boom Boom and Pom Pom shouted in delight as they enjoyed their first ride together while going through the loops and corkscrews. It was a great day for Bowser's minions as the coaster moves across the track.


Boom Boom smiled at her and said, "That was a wild ride for us, have we?"

"Of course it was," Pom Pom replied as the clock now shows the final two minutes.

"All right, everyone! It is now time for the countdown to the New Year so, can I have Boom Boom and Pom Pom to come on stage, please?" Bowser said as Boom Boom and Pom Pom walked on over to the main stage and waiting for them is the big red button that will fire the cannon and welcome 2022 with a spectacular fireworks show for the minions.

Bowser smiled at them and said, "Well guys, this is it. Are you ready to say goodbye to this year?"

"We're ready, Bowser," Boom Boom and Pom Pom replied with a smile.

"Okay, then! The stage is all yours."

Boom Boom and Pom Pom smiled as they walked to the button and with a smile, they said, "Bowser's Castle... ARE YOU READY?"

The entire castle cheered with excitement as the timer now shows the final thirty seconds. Then Boom Boom and Pom Pom placed their hands on the button as they await the final countdown. Boom Boom and Pom Pom looked at the sky, took one final deep breath and with a single press...

It is time.

"8..."

"7..."

"6..."

"5..."

"4..."

The entire castle cheered with excitement as 2022 begins with the first set of fireworks exploding in the night sky. Boom Boom and Pom Pom hugged each other as they enjoy that big moment.

"Happy New Year, Boom Boom," Pom Pom said.

"Same to you, Pom Pom," Boom Boom replied as they share a nice kiss.

Then Boom Boom smiled at the readers and said, "Have a very happy New Year, everyone! Stay safe and keep on reading!"

And so begins another great year at Bowser's Castle.
