The Koopas' Mario Kart Racing Commentary

(This episode is dedicated to the Mario Kart series. Happy 29th birthday, Mario Kart!)

It's a beautiful afternoon in Bowser's Castle where Bowser and Bowser Jr. is watching the race on MKTV. They are enjoying the action as a Toad commentator named Race T. said, "We're entering the homestretch of this amazing race here in Mario Circuit as Luigi is closing in on his first place victory. But here comes Mario with a mushroom boost to even the playing field. Who will cross the finish line first? We're about to find out because the winner is..."

Bowser and his son held on to each other as a Lakitu referee waved the checkered flag to signify the end of the race with a photo finish. Both Koopas watched the screen as the results came up and with that, Race announced the winner to the audience.

"By a 0.001 of a second, the winner of this race is... MARIO!"

Bowser and his son jumped for joy when they saw Mario winning the race in a photo finish. Bowser smiled and said, "Did you see that, son? A photo finish for Mario!"

"I know, dad," Bowser Jr. replied, "I love this channel. It has everything Mario Kart including racing, battling, interviews, and more!"

"Me too, son! Race is one of the best commentators on this channel and if he can commentate Mario Kart races, so do we! So when is the next race?"

Bowser Jr. is about to answer when Race said, "If you enjoyed this afternoon's race, then you'll love the excitement that we have for you tonight at Mario Kart Stadium as Toad and Toadette will battle it out and before we go, it is time to announce our guest commentators for this evening's race and they are... BOWSER AND BOWSER JR.!"

Bowser and Bowser Jr. looked at the screen and with a smile, it's official.

"Son..." Bowser started.

"Dad..." Bowser Jr. added.

"WE'RE GOING TO BE ON TV!"

The Koopas hugged each other as they heard Race's announcement. Then Bowser said, "I can't believe it, son! We're going to commentate tonight's race at Mario Kart Stadium."

"I know, dad," Bowser Jr. replied, "This is going to be a great race."

With that, Bowser and son are about to be racing commentators.

That night at Mario Kart Stadium, Bowser and his son are in the commentator's booth for the night race on MKTV. Bowser smiled and said, "Well son, here we are! I can't believe that we're going to commentate tonight's race between Toad and Toadette!"

"Me too, dad," Bowser Jr. replied, "This is going to be an amazing competition! I love the battle of the Toads!"

"I know, son. Now then, shall we do this?"

"You know it!"

Just then a Lakitu cameraman said, "We're live in five, four, three, two..."

As soon as the cameraman pointed at them, it is time to start the broadcast.

"GOOD EVENING, MUSHROOM KINGDOM!" Bowser shouted to the audience as the MKTV helicopter is flying all across Mario Kart Stadium with the crowd cheering, "Tonight, these two Toads will go head to head as we bring you our main event, The Battle of the Toads!"

Bowser Jr. smiled and said, "Also coming up on tonight's program, we have a very special interview with Mario as he talks about his photo finish at Mario Circuit against his brother Luigi this afternoon."

"And in our Vehicle Spotlight, we focus on one of the best karts from Mario Kart DS!"

"So buckle up and start your engines because it is going to be a great night for racing! Live from Mario Kart Stadium, this is..."

"RACE NIGHT ON MKTV!" Both Koopas shouted as the intro starts to play.

Just then, the Koopas smiled at each other as the camera pans on them in the booth while the intro is playing. Bowser smiled to the viewers and said, "Good evening and welcome to Race Night, everyone! I'm your guest commentator Bowser and with me is my son, Bowser Jr. We have a great show for you lined up tonight. Right, son?"

"That's right, dad," Bowser Jr. replied, "We have two Toads racing in our main event and let me tell you, these two racers are amazing. I can't wait to see it all unfold."

"Me too, son. This is going to be a great race and before we get to that, it is time for our Vehicle Spotlight!"

"Already?"

"You got it, son. Now tonight, we focus on the B Dasher! The B Dasher is Mario's signature kart from Mario Kart DS. It also appeared in Mario Kart 7, 8, and even in Tour."

"This kart has a white paint job with a red stripe on the front. It also has four exhaust pipes in the back. It has great speed and acceleration."

"Everyone loves the B Dasher and you know son, this kart reminds me of a racing car in the 1960s."

"Me too, dad. This is a great kart and that is why we chose that vehicle for our Vehicle Spotlight."

Bowser and his son are having a great time when suddenly, a special fanfare was heard. Bowser heard it and said, "It's the fanfare! Do you know what this means, son?"

Bowser Jr. smiled and said, "It means it is time for our main event."

"You got it! So without further ado, it is time to meet the drivers! Ladies and gentlemen, making its way to the starting line are two amazing drivers. Please welcome... TOAD AND TOADETTE!"

Just then, Toad and Toadette came in their Pipe Frame as they made their way to the grid for a very special race with the crowd cheering for them. Bowser smiled at the viewers and said, "There they are, folks. Now these two drivers have agreed that there will be no items or coins at all and as always, it will be a three-lap race. Well son, this is it! Shall we say it together?"

"You know it, dad." Bowser Jr. replied with a thumbs up.

"All right! And now, for the thousands in attendance at Mario Kart Stadium and for the millions of viewers watching from all across the Mushroom Kingdom..."

Both Koopas smiled at each other and with a nod, they say the magic words...

"DRIVERS... START YOUR ENGINES!"

With the words shouted, the entire stadium cheered for them as the engines turn on. It is time for Toad and Toadette to race at night.

Bowser heard the sound and said, "You can feel the tension here in the stadium as we get set for a great race. Now all we have to do is wait for Lakitu and as soon as he gives the green light, we will be racing. Son, did you see him on your monitor?"

Bowsr Jr. checked his monitor and said, "Nope. He is not here for tonight's race, but he will return next week."

"So, how do we start the race now?"

"Maybe I can do the signature countdown and my Junior Clown Car is ready to go."

"All right! And now, here to start the race is my son, Bowser Jr.!"

With that, Bowser Jr. hopped into his Junior Clown Car and flew down to the starting line with his signal light. The entire stadium cheered for this moment as the camera focuses on him. Then he smiled at the racers and said, "All right, guys. I want a good, clean race and remember to have fun! Ready?"

"Ready," Toad and Toadette replied with a thumbs up.

"All right, then. The race will begin at the green light. Here we go!"

With that, Bowser Jr. flips the switch on his signal light as the crowd grew very silent. It is time to race as the first red light came on.

"Three..."

Not a single member spoke. Then came the second red light.

"Two..."

Toad and Toadette revved up their engines as the third red light appeared.

"One..."

Everyone in the stadium is now focusing on Bowser Jr. as he is waiting for the final word. Then he looked at the racers and with a huge smile...

It is time.

"GO!"

With the word shouted, the light turned green as Toad and Toadette took off at the same time with a Rocket Start.

"And we are racing, folks!" Bowser Jr. announced to the crowd as they cheered.

"You said it, son," Bowser replied with a smile, "Now head on back to the booth because we have a race to commentate!"

"Right!"

So Bowser Jr. came back to his dad as the entire staff clapped for his achievement. Then Bowser said, "Well, it looks like we're off to a great start thanks to my son and it looks like this race is even."

And so, Bowser and his son are having a great time as they commentate about the race. What a great night for the Koopas.
