Burger Showdown! Bowser vs. Bowser Jr.

It's a beautiful day at Bowser's Castle where Bowser and his son are enjoying a nice afternoon playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at the Game Room as themselves when suddenly, Bowser's stomach is growling. He said, "Wow! All of that gaming makes me hungry and I know where to get some nice, juicy burgers."

"Me too," Bowser Jr. replied, "Dad, we're going to Burger Shroom!"

"That's my son! Come on, let's go and have some lunch, Koopa style!"

So Bowser and his son ran out of the castle as they prepare to have some lunch at Burger Shroom.

When they got to the restaurant, an alarm finally went off. Bowser Jr. heard that sound and said, "The siren! That means we're going to do something special today."

"That's right! You have been selected to take part in a head-to-head burger eating contest," Lakitu replied as he came to them, "And guess what, it will be Koopa King versus Koopa Prince! So, do you want to compete right now?"

"YEAH!" Bowser and Bowser Jr. said at the same time.

"Great! To the Burger Arena!"

So the trio ran to the Burger Arena and when they got there, they saw the cheering crowd, a table, and a scoreboard which shows the current burger tally. Lakitu smiled and said, "Welcome to the Burger Arena, guys. This is where we have our contest and here's how it works. You'll have fifteen minutes to eat as many burgers as you can. The burger you'll eat will be chosen at random. Whoever has the most burgers at the end of the contest, wins."

Bowser and Bowser Jr. smiled as they heard the rules of the contest. Then Lakitu said, "So, all we have to do now is pick a burger from our scoreboard and remember, it will be chosen randomly once you push that buzzer. So, who will do the honors?"

"I'll do it," Bowser replied, "I love a random selection."

"Alright then, let's shuffle the burgers!"

Just then, the screen shows all of the burgers as it shuffles around. Lakitu said, "Okay Bowser, just push that buzzer and we'll have our burger for this contest. Ready?

"All set, Lakitu!" Bowser said with a thumbs up.

"Alright then, take it away!"

So Bowser took a deep breath, pressed the buzzer, and then...

DING!

A burger appeared on the screen. Bowser smiled at the results and said, "Wow! It's the Koopa King and Koopa Prince Cheeseburger Deluxe! My favorite!"

"Of course it is. Bowser," Lakitu replied as he took out a tray of Koopa King and Koopa Prince Cheeseburgers Deluxe, "This is perfect for today's contest and I have the first two burgers right here. One for each of you. So, shall we get started?"

"Yes, please," Bowser Jr. said with a smile.

"Alright then, let's put fifteen minutes on the scoreboard if you would please."

Just then, the timer appeared on the scoreboard as the screen shows fifteen minutes. Lakitu took out his whistle, placed the food on the table and said, "Well guys, this is it. The burgers are all here and the clock is set. Now the moment you hear my whistle, you'll take your first bite and remember, you have fifteen minutes. So Bowser and Bowser Jr... ARE YOU READY?"

"YES! LET'S EAT!" Bowser and Bowser Jr. replied at the same time.

"Alright, then! Good luck to you both and have fun! So without further ado, let the burger eating contest..."

Both Koopas placed their hands on the burger, waited for a few moments and then...

The moment came.

"BEGIN!"

TWEET!

With the whistle blown, both Koopas took their first bite as the crowd cheered. The contest is now officially underway.

Bowser and his son are eating burgers like athletes as they finished their fourth burger one minute in.

Lakitu saw it all and said, "Look how fast these two Koopas are as they ate their tenth burger and we're just getting started, folks. There's still over twelve minutes to go and if they keep this up, we could see over one hundred burgers eaten by the end of this contest."

Bowser munched on with every bite as Bowser Jr. finished his twentieth burger. The crowd is enjoying the excitement as they cheered for these Koopas.

As Bowser and Bowser Jr. kept on going, the number of burgers they've eaten on the scoreboard continues to add up as the timer continues to tick down. Thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty, sixty-five, seventy!

"This is getting exciting, folks," Lakitu said as the timer passed the three-minute mark, "We're just three minutes away from the buzzer and the score is tied at eighty burgers. This is going to be a very close contest as Bowser munched down on his next burger. But here comes Bowser Jr. with another burger eaten. This battle is now heating up as we approach the homestretch! Who will win? Only time will tell."

As the Koopas finished their ninetieth burger, the timer is now yellow, which signals the final minute of the contest. Everyone is watching the final moments as they kept on going.

"Wow! We are now at 100 burgers for Bowser and Bowser Jr. with only thirty seconds left," Lakitu announced as the crowd cheered very loudly, "This is going to be very close, folks!"

Just then, the timer is now flashing red, which signals the final ten seconds of the contest. Lakitu looked at the flashing timer as he began the final countdown.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one..."

BUZZ!

The buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the contest. Lakitu heard that sound and then...

It's official.

"FINISH!"

The crowd erupted in big cheers as the contest finally came to an end for Bowser and his son. Lakitu came to them and said, "That was amazing, guys! You spent fifteen minutes eating burgers and now, I have the final score right here on the scoreboard. Ready to find out?"

"YES!" Bowser and Bowser Jr. replied at the same time.

"Alright then, here we go! Drum roll, please!"

Just then, the lights dimmed all across the arena and the crowd grew silent as the drum roll began. Lakitu looked at the board and said, "After fifteen minutes of eating burgers, the final score in this battle of the Koopas is..."

Bowser and Bowser Jr. watched the scoreboard very closely as they await the final score. They waited for a few moments and then...

DING!

The final score has been revealed...

"120-120! So... IT'S A TIE!"

With that, Bowser and Bowser Jr. hugged each other as the contest ends in a tie with the crowd making its biggest cheer. Lakitu clapped for them as the cheering continued on.

Bowser Jr. smiled to his dad and said, "Great game, dad."

"Same to you, son," Bowser replied as they shook hands for a tie game. It has been a spectacular competition for these Koopas.
