Dragon Puncher's Big Speak Up Game

"Hello everybody and welcome to Speak Up!" Brighton said as the crowd cheered, "This is the game where they get to answer big and win fantastic prizes! I'm Brighton, your dude of the daytime!"

"And I'm Twila, your hostess and today's game is going to be fun because, we have four players competing in a quiz show so, let's meet today's four players!" Twila said as the crowd cheered, "First up, we have Dragon Puncher! Dragon hails from the Bronx, his hobbies include sports, reading, and playing video games. He is a great team member of the All-Stars and he's here on this show to win big. Welcome aboard, Dragon!"

"Pleasure to meet you, Twila!" I replied with the crowd cheering.

"Next, we have Peach!" Brighton announced, "Peach is from the Mushroom Kingdom, she love to play sports, and her favorite gem gemstone is sapphire!"

"Our third and fourth players are brothers! They like to battle evil, and they protect the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser. Here they are, Mario in position number three, and Luigi in position number four!" Twila announced as the crowd cheered.

Then Brighton said, "Well, it looks like we're just about to start and remember, whoever has the most points after twenty questions, is declared the winner, and that player will move on to our bonus game for a chance at big prizes! Ready to begin?"

"Yeah!" We all shouted.

"Then let's… SPEAK UP!" The duo announced as the game began.

"Alright! We have five categories on the board and they are Variety, Memory, Picture, Counting, and Comparison. Each player will answer four questions in five rounds of play. The player must answer that question only to that category. If you're right, you score points equal to that category's level. If you're wrong,, then your opponents will have a chance to steal in our Speed Round by pressing that buzzer in front of you. Get it wrong, and you get no points. So, let's start the game with Dragon Puncher. Dragon, where to first?" Brighton asked.

"I'll start the game off with a little Picture Quiz." I replied.

"Picture Quiz Level 1 it is!" Twila announced as the screen shows the first question. Then Brighton said, "Alright, this is our first question! For a maximum of ten points, here is your question. Who is that person?"

I looked at the screen, buzzed in, and said, "Yoshi, Brighton!"

Brighton said, "That's correct, Dragon! Ten points!"

The crowd cheered as I get the right answer. Then the scoreboard shows ten points on my screen as Brighton said, "Great job, Dragon. You are on the board with ten points. That is Yoshi. OK, moving on to Peach. Peach, where to now?"

The game continued on until…

"Well, we're at the last question of our game and it looks like Dragon Puncher is in the lead with 150 points, Peach with 111, Mario with 101, and Luigi in last place with 100 so, you need this Level 5 question to tie. OK, Luigi, which one is it?"

"Variety Level 5!" Luigi announced.

"That's the one that will tie it up. Here's the question! Whose shadow is this?"

Luigi smiled and said, "Wario!"

"Oh, no! You're wrong! That means this game can be won in our Speed Round! Dragon, Mario, Peach, whose shadow is that?"

I buzzed in and Brighton said, "Dragon, for 50 points, and the game, who is it?"

"I think that the game-winning answer is… YOSHI!" I announced as Brighton agreed with my answer.

"That is… RIGHT!" Brighton shouted, "50 points for Dragon Puncher and that means, Dragon Puncher is our champion with 200 points! You're going to the Bonus Round! Come on in, buddy!"

I jumped for joy as I came to them. Then Twila said, "Great job Dragon, you have won the game and now, you'll have a chance to win big at our Super Speak Up Bonus Round. Ready to play?"

"Of course Twila! I'm all set!" I replied.

"Then let's do it!" The duo announced as I entered the Super Speak Up Board. Then Brighton said, "Alright Dragon, pick your category and let's see what you'll be playing for."

"Variety!" I said.

"OK, if you get this Variety question correctly, then you'll be going home with a new go-kart! You have 30 seconds to give me your answer and I need your full answer. You have one chance to do so, and if you're not sure, just say 'I don't know', and we'll reveal the answer. So, are you ready for your Variety question?" Twila asked.

"Yes, I'm ready!" I replied with a thumbs up.

"Alright, here it comes. Whose shadow belongs to? Your time starts… NOW!" Brighton announced as the clock starts ticking.

I thought about it and kept on looking as the time ticks away.

Then, I got it! I smiled to them and said, "Toadette!"

Brighton agreed and said, "That answer is…"

I held my breath and waited for his word.

And then…

And then…

The decision was final…

"RIGHT!"

The crowd cheered as I jumped for joy! Twila said, "You got it! You're driving on out of here with your Mario Kart Standard Kart M!"

Just then, my go-kart appeared as Brighton said, "Great job, Dragon! That was an impressive game that you did and congrats on your win."

"Thanks, guys!" I replied with a high five.

"Well, that is our show for today and remember, we want to keep up with your voice…" Brighton started.

"Talk like a champion…" Twila added.

"And most importantly…" I finished.

"SPEAK UP!" We all shouted as the crowd cheered.
