| + | Michael joined the MK64 site in April 2003. It was the first Kart that Michael competed in, and in his opinion, the game he is best at. He holds the [[Yoshi Valley]] flap world record ([http://wrvids.com/Mario%20Kart/MK64/Fastest%20Available%20Vids/yv-2618-Fried.mpg video]). He is also the first person to land the [[Rainbow Road (MK64)|Rainbow Road]] spiral shortcut on 3/3 laps, and he discovered a strategy that saves .1 in [[Frappe Snowland]]. He is currently ranked #7 non-shortcut, #12 shortcut, and #4 [http://www.mariokart64.com/top100/universal.html universal]. |

| + | |
| + | Michael joined the MKDD site shortly after the game was released and peaked at #5, at one time holding the Mushroom City world records. Since then, he has fallen out of the top 100, and is now his worst Kart. There is a possibility of Michael returning to MKDD in the future, but only time will tell. |

| + | == Super Mario Kart == |
| + | |
| + | Although SMK was the first Kart that Michael played, he did not join the SMK site until September 2005. A few months later he took a break from SMK, and then returned in 2007. He is currently ranked #21 NBT (NTSC) and #15 non-NBT (NTSC), and he holds 6 trick flap world records ([http://wrvids.com/Mario%20Kart/SMK/Fastest%20Available%20Vids/Trick/ videos]). |

| Michael is among the best in the world in [[MK64]] and is also considerably skilled in [[MKDS]], [[SMK]], [[MKDD]], and [[MKSC]], and has thereby earned the title of [http://www.mariokart64.com/combinedranks/ best all-round karter]. He lost his title once for a short time when MKSC was added to the rankings; he was passed by [[Sami Cetin]], but then started playing [[MKSC]] (August 2006) and quickly reclaimed his title. He is currently ranked 5th, and has several world records. He plans on returning to MKSC eventually to try out ZZMTing with a modified GBA SP. | | Michael is among the best in the world in [[MK64]] and is also considerably skilled in [[MKDS]], [[SMK]], [[MKDD]], and [[MKSC]], and has thereby earned the title of [http://www.mariokart64.com/combinedranks/ best all-round karter].
