Bowser Jr.'s Championship Coin Toss

It's a beautiful day at Mario Kart Stadium and Bowser Jr. is enjoying his day of racing in the Mario Kart Grand Prix. Now he is waiting for the final results and soon, the title of Mario Kart Grand Champion will be his.

Lakitu came in with the envelope and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the final results are in for the title of Mario Kart Grand Champion! So, which three drivers will enter the podium? Well, let's find out right now as we add up the points. Remember, the driver with the most points will earn the gold trophy. Alright then, here we go!"

Then Lakitu opened up the envelope and said, "So, let's begin with the bronze trophy. The driver who will receive this trophy with a final score of 788 points is Wario! Come on up, buddy."

Wario smiled and accepted the prize for finishing in third place. Then Lakitu said, "Alright then, let's continue on to our next award and let's find out who will win the gold trophy. So, without further delay, the Grand Champion of this year's Mario Kart Grand Prix is..."

When Lakitu opened up the envelope, he was shocked when he saw two names on the card. Lakitu looked at it and said, "Well, it looks like we have a tie for first place and they are Bowser Jr. and Koopa Troopa! Both drivers finished the Grand Prix with 880 points and now, the golden trophy will be won with one single thing... A COIN TOSS!"

Both Bowser Jr. and Koopa Troopa came up to Lakitu for their biggest challenge, a coin toss for the title of Grand Champion. Lakitu smiled at them with the coin and said, "Koopa and Bowser Jr., congratulations on making it this far but, now it all comes down to this. One single toss of the coin will determine the winner of this tournament and here's how it works. This side has a paintbrush, and the other side has a shell. Whichever picture lands face up will become the Mario Kart Grand Champion. Now then, are you guys ready?"

"Yes." Bowser Jr. and Koopa replied at the same time, waiting for their biggest decision.

Laskitu held the coin steady and said, "Alright then, here we go! One, two, three... FLIP!"

With the word shouted, Lakitu flipped the coin in the air and as they await the final results, it seems like slow motion for the stadium as the coin kept on flipping. It is only a matter of time before the final announcement. Everyone watched the coin as it begins to drop and then, Lakitu caught it and covered it in his wrist. The final announcement is set.

Lakitu said, "Bowser Jr. and Koopa, the coin has been tossed and the final announcement is set. One of you is about to become the Mario Kart Grand Champion so, let's see which picture is on the coin. Drum roll, please!"

With the words shouted, the drum roll began and the stadium grew silent. Lakitu looked at the coin and said, "The picture that is on the coin is..."

Everything grew silent as Lakitu is just seconds away from revealing the winner. He uncovered his hand and then...

The coin shows a picture of a paintbrush and with that, Lakitu announced the final results.

"A PAINTBRUSH! THAT MEANS THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT IS... BOWSER JR.!"

Bowser Jr. can't believe it! He has won the tournament for the first time ever thanks to a coin toss with the crowd making its biggest cheer. He spun in his shell and celebrated his official victory as confetti fell on the stadium. Then he came to Lakitu and gave him a hug as Koopa clapped for him.

Lakitu came to Koopa and said, "Well Koopa, you did a great job in this tournament and with that, you've finished in second place thanks to the coin toss. So, it gives me pleasure to present this silver trophy to you. Great job!"

"Thanks, Lakitu!" Koopa replied as he accepted his silver trophy.

Then Lakitu came to Bowser Jr. and said, "Bowser Jr. Koopa, you did it! You have won the Mario Kart Grand Prix and with that, you've earned this golden Grand Champion trophy! Take it, it's yours!"

Bowser Jr. smiled as he accepted the trophy for winning the tournament. Then he said, "Thank you, Lakitu! I'm so glad that I've won this tournament with a coin toss. I'm so happy!"

"Of course you are, buddy! The picture shown on the coin is indeed a paintbrush and with this result, you've done it! Congratulations, Bowser Jr.!" Lakitu said to him.

"Thank you! I'm taking this prize home so everyone can see this!" Bowser Jr. agreed as he held up the trophy very high. What a great day for Mario Kart racing!
