I am very excited about these results! There were some close races and some last second comebacks which made for a very interesting and intriguing race. I was so caught up in the whole race business I almost forgot to give the “Final Lap” signal a few times. Fortunately I did remember and no harm was done.

Here are the final rankings:

Yoshi pulled out in 1st place.

Mario came in with 2nd place.

Bowser came through with 3rd place.

A few banana peels caused Peach to fall back to 4th.

Starting off poorly and making a slight comeback, DK took 5th overall.

Despite his best efforts Luigi found himself in 6th.

Toad make a good effort, but sadly ended up in 7th.

Sitting last in 8th place was Wario.

Hey, STOP!! Hello!? Are you listening to me?? YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION!!!

What is with you people today!?!?! No one is ever going to win this race if one of you doesn’t turn around!! You’ve been at this for 30 minutes now!!! I don’t know if you haven noticed, but this is really pointless! This is never going to end!!! Someone just please turn around!

*sigh*

Why doesn’t anyone listen to me!?!?!?

Fine, you know what? If you want to play this same race for the rest of your life, traveling in a very small blue and red oval for years, that’s your own call. But I’m leaving! Yeah, you heard me. I’m out of here. You can keep track of your own laps, because I certainly have better things to do with my time. So take that!

It looks like so much fun, zipping around the track, jumping over banana peels, skidding around corners and boosting with mushrooms. It looks like a smashing good time, but it seems that I am always left on the sidelines to watch the matches.

I do like flying, I can zip around the sky and float freely in my cloud. Life is good, and peaceful. I don’t understand how you ground creatures can survive being trapped on the ground and al. Flying is a freedom that just can’t be explained, it has to be experienced.

I would imagine the same goes for racing, the thrill of the track is all in the moment, and describing it could be hard to do, but experience would describe it perfectly. I think everyone should try flying, it is jolly good fun. But I wish I could try racing, it really seems like a riot.

When I zip around in the sky, it’s hard to race with other friends because there are no set boundaries. We can try to race to a cloud, but the cloud is always shifting shapes on us, or disappearing before we get there. We can’t go in circles because there is nothing to give the circles bounds. It causes quite a dilemma for us sky critters.

Maybe someday we’ll be able to get karts and drive around the track like other people do. Until them I’ll just have to enjoy my sky freedom and dream about racing.
