This is the last race prior to the Final Race to save the Mushroom Kingdom. Who will win between an epic match between Yoshi and Red Koopa. Hold onto your seats, because there are a few Surprises in store.

Many of you will notice that this is very similar to the Rainbow Road Delux that I posted a while back. The answer is...YEP. This was actually one of the first videos I made in The Race for the Mushroom Kingdom series. I liked it so much that I wanted to share it early with everyone. So I apologize for the redundancy...but....the ENDING is different! This is probably one of my favorite endings to a video I have ever made...I just love the emotion involved.

This movie was filmed in our basement sporadically over 12 months. I made it from 3 Mattel Rainbow Road Tracks, Plastic sheets with LED string lights and Spray Painted Hot Wheels tracks. To light them all up used plenty of Black lights.

Some fun facts:
- I had to paint the Yoshi and Koopa with Glow in the dark paint to be able to have them be seen easier on video
- I tried to recreate the EPIC Blue Shell Scene from the recent Mario Bros Movie. Initially I had this intricate plan of getting blue smoke from a smoke bomb into a balloon and then popping that balloon in front of a green screen, but them I was happy to see that someone already did a version of the blue shell online! So I saved myself a huge hassle.
- Blue Shell Koopa was made by just painting Green Shell Koopa with blue paint and then putting spikes with a hot glue gun and painting those white
- It took about 30 takes to get Yoshi to land that jump. That Kart is no longer operable because a few of its wheels broke
-As much as I love the Mach 8. It is a hard one to film with Hot Wheels. They have a lot of weight to them and are the lowest to the ground, so there is a lot of inconsistency with them.
- This set cluttered my Basement from May to September, I was hoping to have it posted by Mid-June, but got too distracted with other videos and work got really crazy

Also special thanks to @fatboymb1864 for inspiring me to make this series!

I love these videos so much! They're so fun and innocent and well thought out! Those stunts are something else! I love the use of black lights to make everything glow too.
