Jessica's The Challenge - Mario Kart

**Mario Kart** is the first season of Jessica's The Challenge. The premiere of the season was May 14th and the season finished on June 16th 2022.

## Format

Each episode, the racers will compete in a daily challenge, also known as a lap, with the top 3 being the winners and deemed The Speedsters. They each get one vote, where they can send someone into the elimination match, also known as the time trials.

In every lap, the bottom third of competitors (or the amount of people required by item rules) will pull a Mario Kart item, each with their own affect (explained in the twist section)

### Twists

* **Time Trials:** The elimination in the Time Trials will be the same for three laps. At the start of every lap, the racer that performs the best will leave a Ghost Time behind for the next two laps on the Time Trial.
	+ **Ghost Times:** Whoever performed the best on the week before of a given lap of Time Trials will be the benchmark for everyone else in the current lap. Anyone that can beat the Ghost Time set via last lap's Time Trial will be safe from elimination, whereas everyone that cannot clear it will be immediately eliminated. The only exceptions are when everyone or nobody can beat the time. If everyone beats it, then whoever got last place out of all of them will be eliminated. If nobody beats it, then only the top performer of all of them will survive, with everyone else being eliminated.
* **Item Draw:** In every lap, the bottom third of competitors will pull an item, with each having a varying effect. Some may not apply to entirely the bottom third.
	+ **Mushroom:** No bonus effects.
	+ **Red Shell:** Sends another player pulling items directly into the elimination. You choose this person.
	+ **Green Shell:** Sends another player pulling items directly into the elimination. You are safe, but you do not choose this person.
	+ **Banana Peel:** You get a slight disadvantage in the next lap.
	+ **Thundercloud:** You get a slight advantage in the next lap, but if you end up in the item draw again, then you will automatically go into the Time Trial.
	+ **Leaping Feather:** You move up one placement in the next lap.
	+ **Star:** You are immune from the Time Trial on the next lap. If placed in the bottom for a second week in a row, you must still pull an item, with no possibility of pulling another Starman or a Bullet Bill.
	+ **Bullet Bill:** Your placement in the following lap is halved, rewarding all the benefits of said position.
	+ **Fake Item Box:** Automatically enter this lap's Time Trial.
	+ **Boomerang Flower:** Automatically enter this lap's Time Trial. You get to choose another player drawing items to go with you.
