Mario Circuit Rivalry: Mario vs. Bowser

It's a beautiful day at the Mushroom Kingdom and everyone is so pleased about this fantastic Mario Kart race they're going to have today. It is Mario versus Bowser at Mario Circuit and the crowd is cheering for this amazing matchup.

Just then, Lakitu came in and said, "Good afternoon race fans! Today, we have a real treat for you as Mario Kart proudly presents the battle of good versus evil! Now, let's meet the racers! First up, we have the Mushroom Kingdom's most famous warrior! Driving on the Standard Kart M, please welcome Mario!"

Just then, Mario came in to the track with his red kart and the crowd loves him! He is the best racer in the tournament as the plumber made his way to the starting line.

"And his opponent for today's race is the King of all Koopas. He loves to breathe fire on his minions and he loves to play sports. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to the Koopa King on the Flame Flyer, Bowser!" Lakitu announced as Bowser came in with the crowd cheering.

Bowser loved his fans as he made his way to the starting line on his Flame Flyer.

When everyone was done cheering, Lakitu said, "Alright! Now that we met our two racers, let's take a look at the track. This track is an oval and it even has some Goombas wandering around and as you make your way to the castle, you'll see some friendly Toads. The first racer to cross the finish line after all three laps, wins the race and to make it even fair, there will be no items!"

Everyone was pleased about the rules of the race, even Mario and Bowser.

Then, Lakitu took out the signal lights and said, "Well, now that everything is all set, it's time to get this race started so Mario and Bowser... START YOUR ENGINES!"

With the words shouted, both engines turned on as the crowd cheered for them. This is it. The race is about to start.

Lakitu looked at the duo and said, "Now then, is there anything you would like to say before I start the countdown?"

Mario replied to him and said, "Of course I have something to say. I think that this race is going to be awesome and we are pleased with this. Even the crowd loves Mario Kart racing because they are always here to watch us race against each other. That is why Mario Kart is the best sport in the Mushroom Kingdom!"

As Mario heard this, the crowd cheered even louder! Even Lakitu was impressed as he said, "That is what I like to hear about, Mario. This is the best sport in the entire kingdom and with that, it is officially time to start the race so, are you ready guys?"

"Ready!" Mario and Bowser replied as they turn their attention to the starting lights.

"Then I shall commence the countdown... NOW!" Lakitu said as the light starts to flash red.

Everyone grew silent as they await the green light as Lakitu counts down, "3, 2, 1..."

And then, the light changes from red to green as Lakitu said the word to start the race...

"GO!"

With the word shouted, both karts sped out of the starting line, leaving a trail of smoke. Lakitu coughed it out and said, "Wow, a rocket start! Now that is something to please about in Mario Kart racing."
