'''Mario’s Raceway Takeover! (Deleted Scene) (March 9th, 2008) [Runtime: 0:41]'''

Prelude:

Yep, we’re not quite done with this series yet. It turned out that MarioMario54321 forgot to include the concluding scene to his series, so he decided to make and release it as a deleted scene instead. I’m not counting this towards the series since numerous videos were released in between the series’ final part and this video, so this will be its own thing. This is also a rather short video, so I’ll end up doing a quick review this time. So how much would this final scene have added to Mario’s Raceway Takeover?

See this video first before reading on to get your own properly informed opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-00eAXBx1wo&list=PLNPi6H0sXYaCHQG4Br4q5yZJp8uxhid2B&index=48

The Main Video:

We start with Mario and the others having their karts parked in Mario’s course, which has been restored back to normal. The others understandably tell Mario never to try something like this ever again, although considering that him doing this gave us the greatest line ever known to mankind I’m kind of wishing Mario doesn’t learn his lesson here. Also, Luigi further explains that retexturing the courses doesn’t automatically make it Mario’s, he would need to change the names of the menus as well. That confirms Mario’s entire endeavor here was pointless and he was never going to succeed, which I would say would have retroactively made the series pointless had this not been an extra kick in the teeth for Not Mario. It doesn’t completely invalidate the reaction of Luigi and the others since I too would be mad to see someone vandalizing my entire property. So overall, I’m fine with this added bit of information.

What I’m less fine with is Luigi suddenly gigantifying his text and making it turn black in color. Did Luigi somehow gain the powers of a demon to do this? Is he cursing Mario here to never vandalize anything again? Because if so I would appreciate that so much.

Anyways, MM54321 apparently forgot to change the text color back to white since the rest of the dialogue is in black text. Since Mario brings up that he can still change the map name textures on one of the menu screens, he’s still somewhat thinking about committing vandalism. But since Wario also rebutts that idea with his own black text, maybe Wario’s joining Luigi in cursing Mario? I don’t know what’s going on here with the black text honestly so I’m going to wait a bit. Also, I think that Luigi is right here since simply retexturing the letters wouldn’t work since I’m sure the letters are shared between maps. And also since MM doesn’t know how to hack and add stuff, that destroys that possibility.

And that was Mario’s Raceway Takeover, the forgotten scene. I guess it does bring up a bit of trivia that would trivialize Mario’s entire plan, but overall I don’t think it was that important of an addition. It’s just more of a “oh, this would never really work!”, which I don’t think adds anything. The best part was MM’s text color mistake to be honest.

The Extra Bonus Stuff:

Mario - 2 lines (one of which was demonic)

Luigi - 4 lines (two of which were demonic)

Wario - 2 lines (one of which was demonic)

Toad - 1 line (none of which was demonic)

Total Lines - 9 lines.

Biggest Chad: Luigi - He outright cursed Mario with a demonic chant and brutally roasted Mario by revealing how his plan was never going to work, of course he’s the biggest chad.

Biggest Loser: Toad - Didn’t get to speak in any demonic chant lol.

Favorite Quote: “The right thing is the best thing.” - Toad (But what if the best thing is to announce that you’re going to do diabolical things to someone?)

Next time, we finally get to the first MM vid with an unironically decent antagonist!
