1: This is awesome
2: Does the character have to be nintendo-made, or just from a game on a nintendo system?

Well this was looking bad. At least the hushed tone and bated breath of the audience meant that another Doom Shell was about to hit the field. hopefully Captain falcon will have picked up some speed by then.

Aggressive driving!

Doesn't really matter, since more momentum won't help me. 


Does the dodge bonus from a dragged item help with a blue shell?  I'm assuming not.

If no:  Fire the shell backward and Powerslide on the inside.

If yes:  Powerslide on the inside.

Rainbow Road- Turn Ten

1st      2nd      3rd      4th      5th     6th

Action Phase

Fire the shell backward and Powerslide on the inside.

Crank hears the doomy shell of doom approaching, and takes immediate action! He fires his Green Shell back along the curve- the other racers will have to dodge at the beginning of the next Action Phase! Crank immediately cuts inside, going into a Powerslide [3]+1 and popping forward with a +1 bonus on Pass Checks!

Drop all three bananas behind me, Aggressive Driving though the loop!

With Crank out of range, Zelda elects to make life difficult for the rest of the pack! She presses forward aggressively, [5] blazing ahead with TWO Momentum and a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks as she scatters all three bananas on the loop, bedeviling the other drivers!

Well this was looking bad. At least the hushed tone and bated breath of the audience meant that another Doom Shell was about to hit the field. hopefully Captain falcon will have picked up some speed by then.

Aggressive driving!

[4] Captain Falcon is not daunted by the Banana gauntlet before him, accelerating and picking up ONE Momentum, although he takes a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

"Ugh, I must be more roughed up then I realized if my driving is this poor." DB sighed before his eyes lit up in fear as the flashing warning light came on, alerting him to the yellow menace now on the track. Thoughts of the simulator showing him how his kart would handle came crashing back into his mind. Even though the sim showed his tank would look more at home in a destruction derby then on the track, it did reveal the 1 glaring flaw. His wide tracks made it difficult to evade those slippery monsters and a design flaw allowed easy access for those things to get stuck in important places. Damn scientists wouldn't even put some plywood up to cover it trying to convince him to remember the resale value. DEFENSIVE DRIVING.

Dry Bones knows the Dry Bomber is particularly susceptible to Bananas as a result of its increased ramming capabilities, and reacts swiftly as Princess Zelda drops her peely payload, Driving Defensively to mitigate the threat!

The Mysterious Mr. L did not handle repeated failure well.  Okay, just got to get a grip, I have a grip, I'm not going insane... hahaha... no... never...  ♫Here is a present from me to you/it is a shell that is blue♫ AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Use the Blue Shell and DRIVE LIKE AN AGGRESSIVE MADMAN!

The Mysterious Mr. L hurls his Blue Shell into the air, sending it streaking after Crank- it will hit at the end of the next Action Phase! He floors the accelerator, [5] flying toward the loop with TWO Momentum!

Drive aggressively, and use that mushroom!

There's no time to waste! [6] The Poltergust 4000 screams forward with THREE Momentum as Luigi breaks out of his doldrums, taking a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks! As he closes in on the pack he activates his Mushroom, gaining an additional TWO Momentum and flying towards the Mysterious Mr. L! [1]+6vs[4]+3 The caped figure responds quickly however, swerving to block the speeding Luigi- for now, anyway.



1st      2nd      3rd      4th      5th     6th
Movement Phase

Crank slides through the inner curve of YELLOW, heading for the Item Boxes!

Zelda drops her bananas as she easily traverses the loop de loop in ORANGE- she doesn't quite have enough Momentum to Pull Ahead!

Captain Falcon [4]-1-1 has no time to avoid hitting one of the strewn bananas, Spinning Out and losing ONE Momentum! [4]+1-1 Somehow, Falcon keeps his wheels spinning and makes it through the loop without falling back!

Dry Bones [5]-1+1 is rewarded for his caution, carefully avoiding the banana-rich portion of the track as he successfully passes through the loop!

The Mysterious Mr. L [3]+1 has enough time to see the bananas coming, and guides his Kart around the hazard! He races through the loop, coming up fast on Dry Bones as he exits, [6]+3vs[1]+1+1 and easily passing the Skeletal Koopa! He loses ONE Momentum as he takes Fourth Place, and sets his sights on Captain Falcon! [4]+2vs[4]+0 He has little trouble getting by the F-Zero pilot, claiming Third Place and losing One Momentum!

Luigi [6]+1-1 zips between the bananas on the track, flying through the ORANGE loop and preparing to make a charge! [1]+6vs[2]+1+1 Dry Bones is still reeling from MML's pass, and is completely unprepared for the green streak that overtakes him now! Luigi loses ONE Momentum as he aims to unseat Captain Falcon, [2]+5vs[1]+0 who is completely unable to oppose him! Luigi slides into Fourth Place as he comes up behind the Mysterious Mr. L, [4]+4vs[6]+1 and this time no amount of clever maneuvering by the caped fellow with impeccable fashion sense can stop Luigi! Luigi claims Third Place, losing ONE Momentum as he begins catching up to Zelda!

Cleanup Phase

Crank comes up on the row of Item Boxes, [4]+2 and has no difficulty taking one! [3] This Triple Banana should make things interesting for the other drivers when they get this far!

1: This is awesome
2: Does the character have to be nintendo-made, or just from a game on a nintendo system?

1: Why thank you
2: I'm not too picky on where the characters come from, really. Our current leader Crank is from Bay12's very own Mushroom Kingdom Wars, King Harkinian is more famous for his Youtube fame than anything canon, and we've got some Final Fantasy characters in the stands to boot. I'm deliberately leaving character origins/motivations vague, so flavor to taste.

(Wait, how am I at 0 momentum? I started with one, gained from from aggressive driving and only lost one from the banana)

The mic built into the race kart had to be shut off as Captain Falcon's cockpit was filled with some colorful and none too friendly words.

Outside track, aggressive driving

Crank frowned.  He knew he was well ahead of his fellow racers, but there was an ominous noise coming up from behind him...


Spew bananas everywhere behind me and defensively try not to die.

Whups, my bad- that should be set now. Fortunately (well, for me, not you) the 1 point of Momentum didn't make a difference in any of your rolls, so it didn't affect that turn too much. You have One Momentum going into the next turn.

Rainbow Road- Turn Eleven

1st      2nd      3rd      4th      5th     6th

Action Phase

Crank frowned.  He knew he was well ahead of his fellow racers, but there was an ominous noise coming up from behind him...


Spew bananas everywhere behind me and defensively try not to die.

Crank scatters Bananas everywhere as he Drives Defensively, trying to avoid the Blue Shell of Doomy Doom!

Aggressive driving on the outside!

Zelda heads to the outside curve and it's Dash Panel, [6]-1vs[2] straight into the Green Shell Crank fired last turn! She flips, losing TWO Momentum as she tumbles toward the edge of the road, [5]+1 regaining traction at the last instant and zooming ahead! [6] She recovers quickly from her spill, cutting a lean, aggressive line on the curve and gaining THREE Momentum as she takes a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Powerslide along the inside.

Luigi cuts inside toward the Item Boxes, going into a Powerslide [6]+1 and bursting forward with THREE Momentum! He blazes toward Zelda, [4]+6vs[6]+5 but her speed matches his own, and she barely keeps ahead of Luigi!

Aggressive Driving on the Outside!

((Sorry Toaster!))

The Mysterious Mr. L follows Princess Zelda to the outside, [2] but takes a much less efficient path! He gains no Momentum!

(Wait, how am I at 0 momentum? I started with one, gained from from aggressive driving and only lost one from the banana)

The mic built into the race kart had to be shut off as Captain Falcon's cockpit was filled with some colorful and none too friendly words.

Outside track, aggressive driving

Seeing MML's poor performance, Captain Falcon pursues him outside [4] and picks up ONE Momentum and a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

The warning light kept flashing as DB was passed by all the racers and left to rott in last. To hell with caution! DRIVE AGGRESSIVELY INSIDE

There isn't much race left, and the time for caution is past! Dry Bones cuts inside, [2] but his path is less than perfect! He gains no Momentum and takes a -1 Penalty to Hazard Checks for his sloppy driving!

Quote from: Blue Shell
:D


The Blue Shell arrives over Crank in GREEN, circling above the skilled Gloomba before striking downward! [2]+6vs[6]+1 Thinking fast, Crank slams himself into the barricade, attempting to bounce out of the blast radius! He very nearly succeeds, but the leading edge of the explosion slams into the bottom of his Kart and sends him flying, losing all Momentum and items!



1st      2nd      3rd      4th      5th     6th
Movement Phase

Crank desperately tries to recover from the explosion, [4] and barely manages to maintain his forward Momentum and roll through GREEN! [4] Maneuvering through the absurdly sharp corners is easy when you don't have much speed to begin with, and Crank successfully moves forward!

Princess Zelda hits the Dash Panels on the outer curve of YELLOW, picking up ONE Momentum! She presses forward, hoping to Pull Ahead [6] as she flies through the track! She comes up on the bananas strewn by Crank, [5]+1 easily maneuvering around them and successfully PULLING AHEAD, losing FOUR Momentum as she comes up behind Crank!

Luigi sees Zelda Pull Ahead, and attempts to follow, [2] but frustratingly cannot maintain his speed!

The Mysterious Mr. L hits the Dash Panel for ONE Momentum, but is in no condition to pass Luigi!

Captain Falcon hits the Dash Panel just after MML, gaining ONE Momentum and looking for a pass! [3]+3vs[5]+2 The Mysterious Mr. L plays some excellent defense, however, holding off the former F-Zero pilot!

Dry Bones continues down the inside, hoping for a game-changing Item!

Cleanup Phase

Luigi heads for the Item Boxes, [2]+2 snagging one as he passes through! [5]+2+1  He begins dragging a Red Shell behind the Poltergust 4000! His engine sputters, unable to maintain the high RPM's- he Slows to his cruising speed of Four Momentum!

Dry Bones takes aim at the Item Boxes, [2]+2-1 but his aggressive driving causes him to blow right by them!

(Who kept complaining that the range hated them again?) DB shook his head saddened by how horrible he was doing this last leg of the race. Not even the powerful music of Journey could get him out of this hole. His bones ached, his tank was damaged but thankfully nothing that couldn't be buffed out. "Screw it, whatever happens I will not be last!" DB said hammering the gas as hard as he could looking for even the smallest thing to give him a speed advantage. DRIVE AGGRESSIVELY NORMAL PATH.
