Dialogue
During Canthan New Year
 * "It's a beautiful day for a race, folks. A beautiful day."
 * "The sun is shining and the wind is blowing ... away from the stables."
 * "The beetles are ready and screeching to go. And ... they're off!"
 * "Bailey is cruising right along. But Roach has taken the lead! He is really smoking now!"
 * "They're coming up to the turn. Keaton is juiced up, but Wark looks like he may choke under the pressure."
 * "Ringo, the late comer, is moving up the pack. He just might be a star today."
 * "Herbie is moving at a fine clip. That bug just loves to roll."
 * "Coming around the corner, Scurries in Daylight finally emerges from the shadows."
 * "Oh my Gods! Kringle's Little Helper is rolling the wrong way!"
 * "And bringing up the rear is ... Beetlebomb. Looks like he's blown his chance again."
 * "At the finish line, it's McQueen Bee-tle by a mandible. What a race, folks. What a race!"

During Gamer Weekend
 * "Welcome back, ladybugs and gentlement. Burrow into your seats and prepare for another wild day at the races!"
 * "They're out of the gates and already it's a bloodbath. Crunches underfoot takes a hit to the shell and spins out of control! "
 * "Down, down...down they go. Feelers whipping the dirt, a dust trail in their wake."
 * "Ankle Biter moves to the head of the pack. What a nuisance!"
 * "But wait, here comes Bubonic like a plague out of nowhere!"
 * "This could be it, folks."
 * "They're heading to the finish line...almost there...OH NO! WHAT AN UPSET!"
 * "Bubonic takes a shot to the rear by Death's Head! That bug hunts like a hawk!"
 * "Death's Head wins in a stunning display of prowess! Don't forget to visit our snack stand during intermission. Half off on Lunar festival leftovers!"
 * "The crowd is teeming with excitement and the rollerbeetles are rarin' to go!"
 * "Three! Two! One! And...they're off!"
