The following message was left by “The Challenger” on my Guestbook:
Yo, I just beat one of your Mario Kart Records. I won’t tell you which one, but I’m coming for you =) D.K. Jr. all the way.
Confident and shrouded in secrecy, The Challenger did reveal one pitfall in his approach to Super Mario Kart: an unwavering devotion to Donkey Kong Jr. Absurdity. Anyone who knows anything about Super Mario Kart for SNES knows that Bowser is a far superior character. Perhaps a series of coincidental performances convinced The Challenger to develop this Donkey Kong Jr. superstition. Perhaps The Challenger was just having a good day. Perhaps The Challenger is part ape himself. Perhaps The Challenger does not believe in dinasaurs and thus finds a dinasaur capable of driving to be completely ridiculous. I cannot be certain.
Whatever his reasonining, I can assure you that Bowser is a far superior Super Mario Kart racer for the SNES–better top speed, better turning, better acceleration. And, I, putting forth even half my full effort, am a far better driver than any challenger. This has been proven.
I accept The Challenger’s challenge, and unlike Marcus from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I am up to the challenge.
