With a smile, Captain Falcon replied, "Then show me your moves." With that, the pilot dashed forward and delivered a powerful shoulder tackle that Junior shielded against. Following this shield, Junior grabbed Falcon using an extendable arm from the Clown Kart and twirled around before throwing him backwards and off the cliff. However, Falcon was able to grab the edge before falling, which Bowser Jr. didn't notice before approaching the cliff to observe Falcon's supposed fate. Large mistake on the young koopa's part, for as soon as he got close, Captain Falcon pulled himself up halfway before spinning around and delivering a sweep kick onto the plateau that knocked Junior backwards and into the air. Falcon then got up, dashed forward, and reared back for a Falcon Punch that would have finished Junior. However, the prince recovered and landed just in time to shield against the attack. Unfortunately, his shield was already weakened from the attack blocked earlier. Barely weakened, but still enough for a Falcon Punch to shatter the shield, knocking Junior into the air and making him dizzy.
