Power Up (Mario Kart Anthem)

[Intro: The Announcer]
Welcome to the track!
Check your mirrors, grip the wheel.
Four wheels, one trophy, no mercy.
SELECT YOUR PLAYER!

[Verse 1: The Speedster]
(Fast-paced flow)
Green light flashes, yeah, I’m out the gate
Got that Rocket Start timing, I don't ever wait
Drifting round the corner, sparks turning into blue
Then they’re turning into purple while I’m passing all of you!
I’m a heavyweight hitter, Bowser in the Badwagon
Burnin' up the asphalt, yeah, the tail’s waggin'
Got a Triple Mushroom, I’m a blur on the screen
Cleanest racing lines that you’ve ever seen!

[Chorus: The Squad]
(Anthemic, hype energy)
COINS IN THE POCKET, PEDAL TO THE FLOOR
IF YOU WANT THE GOLD, THEN YOU GOTTA WANT WAR!
WATCH THE MINIMAP, WATCH THE RED SHELL FLY
WE’RE CHASING THAT GLORY ‘TIL THE DAY WE DIE!
IT’S MARIO KART! (HYPE!)
YEAH, WE NEVER STOP! (HYPE!)
WHO’S GONNA MAKE IT TO THE TOP?

[Verse 2: The Saboteur]
(Slightly more aggressive, rhythmic)
Oh, you think you’re winning? Man, that’s cute.
I just pulled a Crazy Eight, time to execute!
I’m the king of the shortcut, skipping half the track
Keep one eye behind you, check your literal back.
Dropping bananas on the apex of the turn
Watch your traction slip away, watch your engine burn!
I’m the reason that you’re screaming, I’m the chaos in the pack
I’ll hit you with the Lightning, watch your kart shrink back!
[Bridge: The Tension]
(Beat cuts out, just a heartbeat and a ticking sound)
Last lap.
Heart racing.
Blue Shell... incoming.
(Beat drops back in harder than before)

[Verse 3: The Finale]
I see the winged blue shadow, yeah it’s over my head
But I kept the Super Horn, now the monster is dead!
Dodged it at the finish line, look at the grace
The friendship-ender, the king of the race!
From the Rainbow Road stars to the Moo Moo Meadows
I’m the one standing bright, you’re the one in the shadows.
Put the controller down, go and take a seat
'Cause nobody in this room can handle my heat!

[Outro]
(Sound of a checkered flag waving and a trophy fanfare)
GG.
Check the standings.
Who’s ready for Round 2?
LET’S RIDE.

High-energy synth melody, mimicking the 3-2-1 countdown beep. The beat drops hard with a heavy bassline.
