Well, let's take a break from the ground, and look towards the sky! And up near the ever-running finish line, the Puppeteer of the Forest of Magic!
Huh, not everyday you see a Magician so angry. Bah, isn't this all the more entertaining~ Go, Go, your mother would be so proud~!
Now, let's look to the timekeeper for the- Wha-? Where did she...? Oh, she's down there. Everyone's trying to join in, aren't they? Oh, this may be getting out of control...
It's a good thing Danmaku rules take away weapon lethality, in most cases. She'd have hurt many, by now~
Ugh, of course Matara would come. She'll never let an event like this, won't she? Door Hag!
Wonder if she heard me? Knowing how much power she's shooting out from that door, I'd expect not. She's brought her green and red herb, too. Joy...
Ah, back from a lunchbreak, now let's look out for the- oh, I suppose with the toad here, the other two'll come by any time soon.
Pretty excited, isn't she? Naive little things like her would love the run~! Now what's that snake doing, thinking? Strike! Have a bit of fun, hag!

And coming in hot, it's- oh, an exquisite pair of cat and rabbit! If they want a chance, they better get that wheel back, its dangerous racing with just one and a skull!
Getting crowded here. But still, more contestants come to chase after her!
Oh my, a GIANT of a Woman enters the scene, and look at how nice she is to be taking her tiny Oni friend's Jacuzzi with her for the relaxation!
Hope she doesn't trip. The bigger they are, the harder the fall, they say.
Sashaying into the fray, holding onto a buttload of cash we can't even use in Gensokyo because we take Mon, not Yen, the youngest sister of the Pestilence Gods!
Quite a fashion statement, indeed. Still, I look best in purple~ Isn't that right, Ran?
Why's there a knuckle duster?
Wait, look who's there catching u- oh, it's here. No one's catching up to the clump closest to the Shrine Maiden.
... Okay, Ran, I'll stop acting like a shrew~ Seems we have an avid camerawoman tailing the lead, and by jove is she running!
... unlike some of the contestants.
And there it is, the... is anyone taking this seriously? Huuuuh, well, close to the front- for some reason- the Sage of the Moon! And ooh, looks like she's brought out her arrows to play with~ Slow, but deadly, unlike Danmaku...
This is about a Danmaku Rematch, right?
Close by to the five contestants, coming in with speed, the Menreiki of Too Many Masks to even care to count, or even care to all be used, at all!
Ooh, and that Naginata she's wielding: is this trying to get a Danmaku rematch, or an all-out Melee we're going to witness!?
