What made the race more exciting was an added condition introduced by the host. The show divided its audience into two fragments, one being under the red (Mario) side and the other half under the green (Yoshi) side. “If I win everyone on the Mario side will go home with a copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and a brand new Nintendo Switch OLED.” Meanwhile, the green side would benefit similarly if Yoshi won.

Although it was an intense race, Jimmy Fallon’s experience helped him claim the “crown.”
