The screen zooms to the winning player, and they jump into the picture and celebrate. Depending on the scene, the celebration is different:
*Toad's birthday party: The player will do a winning pose while two Toads raise champagne between him/her.

*Shy Guy's car: The player will ride in the car and wave.
If the timer runs out, nothing will happen on the screen besides the announcer saying "Draw!", though the Draw music will play.
