lol, man, lmao... the gears are certainly suitable for this new context! Would've been cool if you did something with second and third too, and used the 'usual' effects in the racing somehow, like the car starts bouncing uncontrollably when he goes up to the fourth, and then he has to stop and get it fixed, and third: a tire inflates and blows up? Second hmm... something with speed? Anyway, that would've been neat, but there is plenty going on here. The general/admiral standing by the finish line was a serious ending. XD And wasn't expecting Mario to get his head chopped off either. Nice work mixing OP and MC sound effects too, it all syncs nicely. Thanks for the entertainment!
