News Headlines in Fictional Media - Moonface - Apr 21st, 2022

I was in the Describe a Game Situation from the Perspective of an NPC thread trying to think of something and ended up coming up with newspaper titles instead. Since it didn't really fit in there, I figured I'd make a new thread for us to come up with news headlines for fictional media like games, movies, books, etc. XD

Because of the ultra shortcut you can take at the beginning of the race where you can drive around a rock three times near the starting line to finish. Could also be just any of the normal shortcuts in there, but I was imagining the ultra one as if Lakitu is the one causing the collusion for let's say Bowser or an "enemy" driver. XD
