Burger Competition! Mario vs. Luigi

It's a beautiful day at Toad Town where Mario and Luigi are having a nice walk when suddenly, they saw a sign for Burger Shroom. Mario looked at it and said, "Hey, bro. Burger Shroom is having a special contest!"

"Cool," Luigi replied, "What is it?"

"Well, there's only one way to find out. Bro, it's lunchtime!"

So the Mario Brothers walked inside to get some lunch.

When they got there, they saw Rosalina working at the counter with the Lumas. She smiled at them and said, "Good afternoon, Mario Bros. So you're here for a very special contest, right?"

"That's right, Rosalina," Mario replied, "The both of us."

"Well, you came to the right place because today's contest is going to be the battle of the Mario Bros. and here's the best part, the burger you'll be eating today is the Super Star Cheeseburger Deluxe! So, are you ready to eat?"

"YEAH!" Mario and Luigi said at the same time.

Rosalina smiled and said, "Great! To the table."

So the Mario Bros. and Rosalina ran to the table for some brotherly competition.

When they got there, Rosalina said, "All right, guys. Here's how it works. You'll have three minutes to eat as many burgers as you can. Whoever has the most burgers when time runs out, wins. If there's a tie, then we'll go to sudden death. Got it?"

"Got it, Rosalina." Mario replied.

"Okay! Lumas, bring in the first two Super Star Cheeseburgers Deluxe for the Mario Bros."

Just then, the Lumas brought the first two burgers for the Mario Bros. Then Rosalina said, "Now let's set the time limit. Scoreboard, three minutes if you would please."

The scoreboard agreed as the screen shows 3:00 along with the number of burgers Mario and Luigi has eaten. Rosalina looked at it and said, "Well guys, this is it. The contest is about to begin. Remember, eat as many burgers as you can in three minutes. So Mario and Luigi, are you ready to eat?"

"LET'S-A GO!" Mario and Luigi replied at the same time.

"All right, then. Luma, care to do the honors of starting the contest?"

"You got it," Luma replied as he took out the whistle. Then he said, "Eaters, on you marks..."

Mario and Luigi looked at the burgers as they placed their hands on it.

"Get set..."

Both brothers took a deep breath as they await the first bite.

Luma raised his whistle up to his mouth, waited for a few moments and then...

It is time.

TWEET!

With the whistle blown all across the joint. Mario and Luigi took their first bite at the same time as the timer began counting down. The contest is now officially underway.

Mario and Luigi kept on biting as they finished their fifth burger thirty seconds in.

Rosalina and Luma saw it all as they kept on going. She said, "Look at those two Mario Brothers go. They are eating burgers like athletes."

"Me too," the Luma replied as the timer ticked down to ninety seconds, "This is going to be very close as we approach the second half."

"I agree. The score is now 13-13, a tie game so far."

After two minutes of eating, the timer turned yellow, which signals the final sixty seconds of the contest. Rosalina saw it and said, "One minute left!"

As the timer ticked down even further, the number of burgers Mario and Luigi eaten continues to grow as they finished their twenty-fifth burger. Twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty!

"Thirty seconds!" The Luma announced as the timer reached thirty seconds.

It's a race to the finish as Mario and Luigi kept on biting with their burgers. Just then, the timer turned red, which signals the final ten seconds of the contest. Luma saw it all and began counting down the final moments.

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

TWEET!

With the final whistle blown by Luma, the contest came to an end as the Mario Bros. finished their burgers.

Rosalina smiled and said, "That was a great contest, guys. Did you enjoy it?"

"Of course, Rosalina. We love the Super Star Cheeseburger Deluxe." Mario replied.

"Me too." Luigi agreed.

"I see. Now our scoreboard has finished adding up the number of burgers you've eaten during those three minutes and the results are now in. So, are you ready for the final score?"

"YES!" Mario and Luigi replied at the same time.

Rosalina smiled and said, "Very well, then. Luma, care to announce the winner?"

The Luma came to them and said, "Of course! The winner of this burger eating competition, with a score of 40-39, is..."

Mario and Luigi held on tight as the Luma is about to announce the final score. He looked at them for a few moments, took a deep breath and then...

It's official.

"MARIO!"

Just then, Mario jumped for joy as the scoreboard shows the final score of the contest. It shows that Mario has eaten 40 burgers, while Luigi has 39. Mario has won by just one single burger. Mario smiled and said to Luigi, "Good game, bro."

"Same to you," Luigi replied as they shook hands for a great contest.

Rosalina looked at them and said with a smile, "The Mario Bros. did a great job eating burgers today."

"Me too," the Luma replied, "They are great brothers and I love them so much."

And so, Mario and Luigi had a great day eating burgers.
