'''Jason Whalls''' is remembered as one of the pioneers of [[Mario Kart 64]], being the second member (after [[Kevin Booth]]) to have his times listed on the page. Along with [[Andy Launspach]], [[Kevin Booth]] and [[Jason Engel]], Jason was one of the ''Feared 4'' in Mario Kart 64 in 1997. He was an all-rounder player, skilled in both Shortcut and Non-Shortcut. Some of his best known marks included Banshee Boardwalk 1'45"39 ([http://www.mariokart64.com/kart64/members/10best.html a Top 10 nomination]), some really old Frappe Snowland lap WRs, and way too many shortcuts (YV SC).

Jason was one of the first Mario Kart players to create an online profile. He once modestly credited Alex as being the first to make profiles ''look'' good, but some consider Jason to be the first to have an ''interesting'' profile, with more content on it than just numbers in a table. Many people followed suit, and updated their own off-site profiles in their own style, with personal content. Profiles are now a typical feature of all the Mario Kart sites, but as many of them are automated, they contain very little personal information.

Apart from MK64, Jason has also played [[Super Mario Kart]] and [[Mario Kart Super Circuit]]. In SMK, he held many NTSC records in 2000/2001. In MKSC, he also held records (in 2002), was the overall Champion (preceded by [[Brian Gallo]], and succeeded by [[Sami Cetin]]), and is believed to be the first person to race a sub-second lap in any MK game, with a 0'97 in KB1.

In MKSC, he also held records (in Fall 2001), was the overall Champion (preceded by [[Brian Gallo]], and succeeded by [[Sami Cetin]]), and is believed to be the first person to race a sub-second lap in any MK game, with a 0'97 in KB1.

Jason plays many genres of games (all the way from Chrono Cross to Far Cry), but he usually competed for high-scores in games that Kevin or Louis were also involved with. Jason was a regular at [[N64HS]], and has/had records in [[Mario Golf]], [[Super Mario 64]] and [[Wave Race 64]], among others. He won a Nintendo tournament for Mario Golf soon after the game came out, and has been listed in Twin Galaxies for Wave Race competition. Jason was also one of the pioneers of [[Diddy Kong Racing]] time trialing, and along with Kevin (who started a DKR page), Jason was a top-ranked player for years (fighting against Louis).
