PAL Activity:
#36 David Moll is back on to Choco Island 2 and having a fight like never before to break the 13"00 barrier on the lap. It is at a stage where the next PR will definitely be that, and his course time is also heading towards a sub 1'07". Both PRs were UK #2 times.
#80 Jonathan Steel after the dreaded Bowser Castle 3 was completed decided to visit Rainbow Road. Some sharp PRs we delivered but he has a lot of potential left, and that sub 1'30" course time looks like a definite target, if not even a bit further considering his Non-NBT potential. Landing at the Top 80 with a bunch of UK rivals who are not many positions ahead is a good sign.
#158 Leyla Hasso returned from a short break to play the next water track, Koopa Beach 2; it was a struggle on consistency but a nice pair of times were the result and she gained two more ranks.
#183 Russell Horwood also gained a couple of ranks from the previous week. He has put some good effort into Flower Cup with good marks hit on Donut Plains 2 in particular.
#322 Stephen De Winter of Australia has returned to SMK this week with 10 good PRs with Koopa. Rainbow Road was a definite highlight with a clean race; this will get faster in time and we will see him move towards the Top 300 of PAL.
NTSC Activity:
#45 Andrew Koltz is still having a nightmare with Choco Island 1, but he is not giving up yet and that is what is needed for eventual success. He has passed the midway point of the 58 seconds Non-NBT time and cut some average finish. More to follow... |
Lucky ones...

Krystian Wieczorek hits the Vanilla Lake 2 Trick lap World Record on NTSC with 0'02"72.
Movement
PAL Activity:
#82 Jonathan Steel finally succeeds on his Bowser Castle 3 mission with some solid 5-lap driving and a good lap to go alongside. Potential is always there for the next step on this crazy track but this may be for next time; next track soon hopefully!
#145 Krystian Wieczorek, the SMK Champion of Poland decided to work on his Vanilla Lake 2 PAL times but on the separate water trick boards for a bit of fun. He was actually very successful in the end scoring a great lap time. But the fun wasn't over as more action happened on the NTSC counterpart...
#155 Djibril Aatif of France returned to his favorite track of all, Ghost Valley 3 and had a very successful run again there with a consistent 1'17" time, and maintains his current rank.
#186 Russell Horwood of the UK has continued to push more of his times, mainly on Mushroom Cup. His cuts were a bit smaller this week but he gained some ranks over rivals in Belgium and Germany and keeps the pace up well.
NTSC Activity:
#16 Tyler Worley of USA hits Vanilla Lake 2 on his comeback to SMK with a small lap cut and maintains his rank. We hope to see more PRs from him soon.
#45 Andrew Koltz made a tiny chip off his Choco Island 1 course time this week; however it looks like the work is not yet done here. To be continued...
#100 Jean-Sebastien Dubois of Canada made a surprise return to SMK this week with a lot of new times including some tryouts with NBT. He hasn't pushed them extensively yet but making good progress and this has propelled him to the Top 100 of NTSC and 17th in Canada.
#180 Krystian Wieczorek turned to NTSC also this week for some water trick Vanilla Lake 2 and made a successful World Record lap there with Toad just ahead of Fried's time. |
It really is a small world lol

PAL Activity:
#84 Jonathan Steel moved on to the tough Bowser Castle 3 this week where he evetually succeeded in a nice lap, the 5-lap has potential for more damage, which will be dealt soon for a further average finish climb.
#189 Russell Horwood had another immense week with PRs all across the board. His cuts across all the tracks included good hits on MC2, DP2, DP3, and some good platform jumping action on GV3. He has climbed well into the Top 200 of PAL and 34th in the UK.
#319 Craig Sargent of the UK has improved his Mario Circuit 2 PR and maintains his current rank.
NTSC Activity:
#45 Andrew Koltz turned towards Choco Island 1 this week to start a new venture. A PR resulted after a short time and we are sure he will push it to the next level soon. |

Super Mario Kart World Championship 2012 - 20th Anniversary Edition
As many of you are aware, Super Mario Kart will be celebrating its 20th Birthday of the original Japanese in August this year. It has spawned several sequels to make one of the most successful and best selling video game franchises since. We have the yearly Super Mario Kart World Championships also every August in France and are very popular with many karters from various countries attending.
The dates set for this year are Monday 20th August 2012 until Sunday 26th August 2012.
This year's Championship is intended to be a special one where we aim to get a record number of players attending and have some nice presentations, including the yearly Tournaments on PAL version plus some additional one off NTSC competitions to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Japanese release. There will be several prizes from the sponsors including the host FFSMK, Nintendo of France, Mario Museum, the Super Mario Kart Time Trial World Rankings and others. Medals and Trophies are also a yearly regular for the Top achievers in the modes.
The venue this year will be in Thil near Reims, France which was used in the 2008 and 2010 Championships. It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the players, have a great laugh and enjoy a week away. The inscriptions have now gone up so players can register if they would like to go. Guillaume Leviach who is one of the main FFSMK members hosting the event has kindly created a topic on the forum with some more information and links to the registration:

PAL Activity:
#145 Krystian Wieczorek, the Champion of Poland returned to the foundations of SMK, namely Mario Circuit 1 to chop down his weaker average finish times there. Some nice cuts happened so far helping him to gain a couple of ranks.
#160 Leyla Hasso, the PAL Women's World Champion had a very short but sweet session on Koopa Beach 1, classic Non-NBT style and broke the 12 second barrier on the fastlap and a reasonable 5-lap cut to gain a few ranks including shifting up to 27th in the UK.
#216 Russell Horwood has been the man of the hour again with another batch of PRs carrying good cuts to his previous times. The majority happened on Flower Cup with some sharp hits including Mario Circuit 3 at 1'37" level. His Bowser Castle 2 5-lap has a lot of potential.
#319 Craig Sargent of the UK has had his eye on the Mario Circuit 1 sub 1'05" barrier which he achieved this week and improved his lap well also. Potential for a 1'03" time will be there after improving round all the other tracks.
NTSC Activity:
#45 Andrew Koltz saw that DP2 still wasn't complete for now. The Non-NBT specialist was hungry for more so the 5-lap this time had the 1'27"00 barrier taken down with a consistent time. He has some targets for Choco Island 1 so this will be interesting to see next time, and some average finish cuts can gain a few more ranks soon. |

PAL Activity:
#153 Herve Schintu hit a few PRs on Bowser Castle 3 and Vanilla Lake 2 with some good bumper jumps on the first track and consistent driving on the latter. A more agressive speed strategy will help Herve take the next step on VL2 later. He will gain more average finish improving other weaker tracks.
#162 Leyla Hasso returned to SMK after a few weeks break and headed to Mario Circuit 3. A very strong cut was made to take two more records off Tanja with some good Non-NBT action.
#222 Russell Horwood is heading towards to top 200 with good pace; he has made some nice Star Cup and Special Cup cuts, Rainbow Road has potential for a 1'3x"xx time so we will likely see some improvement there.
#319 Craig Sargent of the UK is a rising star and has climbed 23 ranks this week. He met up with Leyla Hasso and Sami Cetin and drove several new times across the tracks with big potential. The main highlight was Rainbow Road with a successful top speed run with Koopa. He will continue to improve the harder cups with Koopa and Mushroom Cup with D.K.Jr for now and the Top 300 should be within easy reach.
NTSC Activity:
#45 Andrew Koltz wasn't done with Donut Plains 2 last week, so another tiny cut and the sub 17 barrier was reached! Although he is looking at the potential on this track, it may be a good time to try some others.
#99 Christophe Charignon set 3 new PRs, a nice Ghost Valley 1 platform jump cut and a pair of new times on Mario Circuit 2. He has gained a rank over Brian Thomas and is approaching Ciro. |
What an amazing adventure

PAL Activity:
#86 Jonathan Steel attacked Choco Island 2 this week with strong Non-NBT attempts, especially on the fast lap and passed a couple of ranks on the PAL ladder.
#147 Krystian Wieczorek hit 9 PRs with a lot of focus on the Mario Circuit tracks. He has climbed a few ranks and continues towards his potential Top 100.
#155 Herve Schintu made a return to SMK this week with some PRs on Choco Island 1 and Donut Plains 2. He is gaining ranks towards the Top 150 PAL so we hope to see some more new PRs soon.
#233 Russell Horwood has worked on a long list of PRs during the Easter break and upped his skill level overall. Highlights include DP1 and MC3 where he landed some solid times.
#257 Adam Flinn has made a stronger comeback since joining at the end of last year with 26 new PRs. His average finish score has improved and if he continues the pace he could provide some competition for Horwood.
#280 Thomas Jordet Larsen of Norway also made a brief stopover at SMK with a pair of new times for Mario Circuit 3; there is potential judging by his lap and he is fast approaching Snorre for 2nd in Norway.
#342 Craig Sargent of the UK is starting to work on some other tracks this week with successful results so far. Mario Circuit 1 is looking good at 1'05" level, but he will benefit more after working through the tougher courses.
NTSC Activity:
#45 Andrew Koltz hopped over to Donut Plains 2 for some fastlap improvements. He is very close to the 17 second barrier and maintains his current rank.
#167 John Brunn improves some Mushroom Cup times, some quicker attempts came through on Bowser Castle 1 and notably Mario Circuit 2 where he broke the 1'20" barrier. |

PAL Activity:
#68 Michael Barth of Germany gained a rank after sticking to Ghost Valley 3 to pull the 5-lap down to a mid 1'16" and a slightly sharper lap. He is very close to Non-NBT rival Brueser for a potential National rank climb soon.
#88 Jonathan Steel is really flying up the ranks with potential through the roof. He hoppef over to Ghost Valley 3 for some brief demos but will return there soon and made successful work of Mario Circuit 3 and a good start on Koopa Beach 1. He passed a few karters including Conor Wood and Neil Rowntree to reach 11th in the UK.
#166 Leyla Hasso played briefly on Bowser Castle 2 and gained a couple more wins vs her former rivals. She now holds more PAL Women's World Records than Tanja and also gained a rank this week.
NTSC Activity:
#37 Nicholas Harvey, the Mississippi State Champion returned this week with some motivation pointed at Donut Plains 2. A sharp Non-NBT lap resulted shortly afterwards that wasn't far from the 17 seconds barrier. Some more PRs from him soon?
#45 Andrew Koltz is still fighting a war with Donut Plains 3 Non-NBT and is chipping away a little more at the 5-lap.
#68 Robert Szabo of Florida has had another strong week with 9 new PRs. Some of the tougher water and mud tracks were thrown in the mix and he gained some great average finish points. Ghost Valley 3 is getting further and he has potential to take a few more seconds down soon with sharper cornering following platform jumps. Robert has climbed to within the Top 70 on NTSC and 22nd in USA. |
Well done Leyla

PAL Activity:
#69 Michael Barth of Germany returned back to SMK Time Trials after a small break and hits a couple of sharper marks on Ghost Valley 3, landing in direct competition with the Swiss Multiplayer Champion.
#102 Jonathan Steel is now ever closer to the Top 100 of PAL and has a lot of potential left. His latest times were some sharp attempts at Bowser Castle 2 and Mario Circuit 3. The latter has the ability to go a further second; we may see some other tracks played soon though.
#167 Leyla Hasso reached her goal this week after passing Tanja Bronnecke to become the new Women's Time Trial Champion of PAL SMK! She hit the Choco Island tracks, Ghost Valley 2 and Donut Plains 2 with good times on all, and made it to 28th in the UK also.
#247 Russell Horwood of the UK again put together an extensive list of new times across the boards cutting off good average finish and slightly widening the gap of an Italian rival below. He now ranks at 46th in the UK.
#252 Andrea Gardina of Italy gained 7 ranks on the PAL ladder this week with new PRs for Mario Circuit 3, Koopa Beach 1 and Choco Island 2. The rivalry with Russell Horwood just ahead continues!
#308 Taylor Fankhauser, SMK's Champion of New Zealand and active SNESOT player returns to SMK with some PRs on 12 of the tracks. He has gained several ranks and pushes fast towards the Top 300. A lot of potential is left here and he can certainly follow in the paths of the active karters above. Keep up the great karting!
NTSC Activity:
#45 Andrew Koltz cuts 0.01 off his Donut Plains 3 to keep up the activity and maintains his current rank.
#74 Alex Vandegrift improved his Mario Circuit 3 PR and maintains his rank also; however a rival is catching up fast, so we may see a good competition here next week.
#75 Robert Szabo of Florida made a strong climb this week with 15 new PRs including some longboosting on MC2 and sharper Non-NBT tracks alongside. He has a lot of potential and if he keeps up the pace we can see him in the Top 50 soon and further!
#112 Michael Hermreck gains a couple more positions on the NTSC World Ranking after improving PRs on the tough Bowser Castle 3 and some platform jumping on Ghost Valley 3.
#331 Christian Lopez did some karting this week under the tuition of Koltz with good results on Koopa Beach 1 utilising Bowser and some other sharper cuts on the GVs and a couple other courses with Koopa. Ghost Valley 3 had a successful opener and a consistent course time. |
