Daisy's Big Win on a Game Show

It's a beautiful day at Toad Town where Daisy is taking a stroll across town when suddenly, she saw a sign for the newest game show at Toad Town Studios. She said, "Do you have what it takes to win a million coins? If so, you can be a contestant on Mushroom Kingdom's Deal or No Deal!"

Daisy smiled at herself and said, "Big money on a game show? Sounds like fun! Let's go!"

So Daisy ran inside and when she got to the nearest Shy Guy, she said, "I would like to be a player on Mushroom Kingdom's Deal or No Deal!"

The Shy Guy smiled and said, "Well, you came to the right place and I have some great news for you because today is the premiere of Season 7 and you're the first contestant of the season! Now the show starts in two minutes so, good luck to you!"

"Thank you, Shy Guy," Daisy replied, "I'll do my best!"

So Daisy took off to the studio, ready to win big as the voice said, "From the studios of Toad Town in the Mushroom Kingdom, it's time for some high stakes as we play Deal or No Deal! And now, here's your host. The Shy Guy with all of the odds... GAME GUY!"

Just then, Game Guy came out from the curtain as the crowd cheered for him. Then he said, "Good afternoon, Mushroom Kingdom! Welcome to the first episode of season seven and I'm so happy to be your host once again this season! Today, one player could go all the way for our jackpot and all you have to do is to pick an Item Box from one of these twenty-six Toads. If you can do that successfully, then you'll be a millionaire!"

Just then, the crowd cheered as Game Guy explained the show. Then he said, "Now, let's meet the Toad assistants with the Item Boxes! Come on out, Toads!"

With that, the twenty-six Toads came on stage with the Item Boxes as the crowd cheered for them. When all of them came out, Game Guy said, "Hello, Toads."

"Good afternoon, Game Guy," the Toads replied.

Then Game Guy said, "Now let's meet the first contestant of the season. She is one of the best athletes in various sports and she is a tomboy. If she can win big on any show, then you'll love this contestant. Ladies and gentlemen, here she is! The lovely princess... DAISY!"

Just then, Daisy came on stage with a smile as the crowd cheered for her. Game Guy came to her and said, "Welcome to the show!"

"Thank you, Game Guy," Daisy replied, "I'm so happy to be here to kick off season seven with you! I'm a huge fan of the show and I tuned in every week for six seasons straight!"

"Wow! You've seen every episode of the show?"

"That's right, all 160 of them."

Game Guy smiled and said, "Well, you've seen every episode as a viewer and now, you're on the show as the first contestant of the seventh season and if you win big today, what will you spend it on?"

Daisy looked at him and said, "I would build a brand new stadium for a hockey tournament, a new racing course for Mario Kart, and spend time with my friends."

"I see. Well then, are you ready to win big?"

"Of course I'm ready to have some fun!"

Game Guy smiled and said, "Alright then, here we go! On the stage, we have 26 Toads with 26 Item Boxes and each one holds a different amount. We don't know which amount is behind which box but we do know that one of these boxes could hold 1,000,000 coins!"

Just then, the scoreboard shows the 26 coin amounts ranging from a single coin all the way up to 1,000,000 coins. Game Guy smiled at Daisy and said, "Now to start the game, you'll have to choose an Item Box. So, which one will you choose?"

Daisy looked at the Toads and said, "I'll go with seven because we're in season 7!"

"All right, then! Yellow Toad, please bring down #7 for Daisy."

Just then, Yellow Toad came to Daisy with the box and said, "Good luck to you."

"Thank you," Daisy replied with a smile.

Game Guy smiled and said, "So, this is your Item Box for this game and if you're lucky enough to keep it until the end of the game, you could be a millionaire. However, there is one person who is trying to stop you from winning that pot and that is the Banker and we'll tell you more about it later but right now, let's focus on the boxes. In each round, you'll open the set amount of boxes and whatever amount is behind it is not in your box. So let's start by opening six boxes, Daisy."

"OK! Let's start the season with #12," Daisy replied.

"Alright then, let's open the box!"

The Toad opened the box and inside there was a coin!

"One coin, Daisy! That's how you start season seven!" Game Guy said as a coin is gone from the board, "Next?"

"Up next, #3." Daisy said.

"Open the box."

Then another Toad opened the box and there were two coins. Daisy jumped for joy as Game Guy said, "Another low amount! Very good, Daisy! Next?"

"Number twenty." Daisy replied with a thumbs up.

"Okay then. Let's see what's inside, Toad."

The Toad agreed as the box shows 500,000 coins. Daisy saw it and said with a sigh, "That's bad, but I'll take that."

Game Guy agreed and said, "You got it, Daisy. That was one of the top three amounts and it's only the third box of the round. So, where to next?"

"Ten."

"Ten it is, then. Open it!"

Then the box opened up and there were fifty coins. Game Guy smiled and said, "That's better! You're back on track, Daisy! Two more!"

"Let's open up box number 13." Daisy replied.

"Very well, then. Open the box."

The fifth box opened up and inside was 400,000 coins. Daisy doesn't like it when that big amount comes up.

Game Guy said, "There goes 400,000 coins, but you still have 750,000 and 1,000,000 left on the board. One more, Daisy!"

Daisy looked at the boxes and said, "Let's finish round one with box number 21."

"And we shall open it right now! Toad?"

The Toad agreed as the box opened up, which shows five coins! Daisy cheered as she finished the round on a high note. Game Guy looked at the board and said, "That was an excellent round you did and now that you've opened six boxes, it's time for the Banker's Offer!"

Just then, the sirens wail as the Banker is about to make an offer. Game Guy said, "The Banker is trying to sell your box for as little as possible and now, let's take a look at the first offer. So, what's the offer for Daisy?"

The screen shows 44,700 coins as Game Guy said, "44,700 coins. If you want to take it, just press the button and take the deal. If you say No Deal, then you'll have to open up five more cases before the next offer. So Daisy, is it a deal or no deal?"

Daisy looked at the offer and said, "No deal!"

"No deal for Daisy," Game Guy announced as the crowd cheered. Then he said, "Well Daisy, you've rejected the first deal and that means, you'll have to open five more Item Boxes before we can see the next offer. So, shall we keep going?"

"You bet!" Daisy said with a smile.

"Alright, then! Let's keep going!"

So Daisy kept on going as she played the game very well, opening boxes and rejecting offers along the way.

Just then, there were only two boxes left in play. Game Guy said, "Well Daisy, we've made it to the final two boxes and you could win 300,000 coins, or 1,000,000 coins. But before we do that, the Banker has one final offer for you. Shall we see it?"

"Yes, please," Daisy replied.

"Okay, then! Banker, what is the final offer of the game?"

The Banker smiled as the screen shows a big amount: 650,000 coins.

Daisy looked at the board and said, "Wow! That's a big offer, Game Guy!"

Game Guy agreed with her and said, "Of course it is, Daisy! This is the biggest offer of the season and before you make that decision, let me remind you the situation. If you say deal and press that red button, then you'll leave the game with 650,000 coins. If not, then we'll have to open your Item Box. So, are you ready for the question of this deciding offer?"

"Of course."

"Very well, then! Daisy, for 650,000 coins, is it a deal or no deal?"

Daisy looked at the board for a moment and said, "Well, the least I could leave is 300,000 coins and the current offer is 650,000, I guess there's only one thing left for me to say to officially reject this offer and they are the two words: NO DEAL!"

"It's a no deal," Game Guy announced to the crowd, "Daisy has rejected the deal for 650,000 coins, everyone!"

The crowd cheered as Daisy rejected the biggest offer of the game. Then Game Guy said, "Well Daisy, you have rejected every offer the banker made and now, I'm going to give you the chance to change boxes so, do you want to keep it, or switch with #11?"

"I'm staying with my box." Daisy replied.

"She's keeping her box, folks. Well Daisy, it all comes down to this. You have done a great job so far and in just a few seconds, your life is about to change forever. So, are you ready for the final announcement?"

"YES!"

"All right, then! Drum roll please!"

With that, the drum roll began as the lights dim all across the stage. Game Guy smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is it! One of these two Item Boxes hold 300,000 coins, while the other one holds 1,000,000 coins. And now Mushroom Kingdom, the moment you've all been waiting for! For the first time this season, Daisy... OPEN YOUR BOX!"

Daisy took a deep breath as she opened Item Box #7. The screen then shows the two amounts as it spins around like a spinner. Everyone turned their attention at the board as the shuffling continued on. Game Guy saw it all and said, "Daisy, you're going home today with..."

After a few moments, the amounts begin to slow down. The entire Mushroom Kingdom is waiting for the big announcement as the totals make one last turn. Everyone held their breath and then...

DING!

It has been revealed.

"1,000,000 COINS!"

With that, Daisy jumped for joy as the crowd made its biggest cheer with confetti falling all over the stage. Then she came to Game Guy and hugged him as the cheering continued on. Game Guy smiled and said, "Congratulations, Daisy! You're the first millionaire of season seven!"

"Thanks, Game Guy," Daisy replied as she shed tears of joy, "I'm so happy for this because I've just won a million coins and it's all thanks to Item Box #7."

"Of course you are, Daisy. The box you've selected holds our top prize and now, you've done it! It's all yours! Well then, let's finish this exciting game right now as we open #11. Toad, care to do the honors?"

The Toad agreed as the final box holds 300,000 coins. Game Guy looked at it and said, "There it is, Daisy. 300,000 coins in #11 and it's a good thing because you decided to keep your box. Right?"

"That's right, Game Guy," Daisy replied, "I kept it because seven is a lucky number and today, I'm lucky enough to take home the top prize!"

"You sure did, Daisy. Well, you did it. You are the first contestant of the seventh season and with all of that hard work you've done today, it finally pays off thanks to your courage, strategy, and guts. So I have this check for 1,000,000 coins and now, it's all yours! Congratulations!"

Daisy smiled as she accepted the check from Game Guy. She said, "Thanks, Game Guy!"

And so, Daisy held the check up high as the crowd cheered for her amazing performance. What a big day for Daisy.
