In 2004, Sami decided to get Leyla her own SNES with Super Mario Kart and Super Mario All Stars. Shortly after putting together a full timeset on Super Mario Kart, she then officially joined the [http://www.mariokart64.com/smk/ Super Mario Kart Time Trial World Records Site] in Summer of 2004. Six months later, her initial competitor on Time Trials was 6 year old Tanja Huber of Germany (the younger sister of Former German Champion, Armin Huber). Tanja was a great contender and both karters exchanged ranks several times. Leyla eventually overtook her on Time Trials and passed a few more karters till she stopped playing for a while. By 2007 she had been learning how to drive with Bowser and reached 1'03" level on Mario Circuit 1 Time Trials.

Leyla attended the Games Expo East Kent 2013 event in Margate, UK with her uncle Sami on Saturday 23rd February to volunteer for running a Super Mario Kart Tournament for the visitors. There were 73 entries and the winner of the first final was Dave Kingston. A special exhibition match was set up between Dave and Leyla Hasso with most of the venue spectating. Dave, a Battle Mode Specialist put up a good match winning a couple of races on tactics and coming close on a few more. The final result was 10-2 to Leyla; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY6kP0ctk8E Leyla Hasso vs Dave Kingston Match Race Video]

Battle Mode wasn't Leyla's strongest though she gained more wins and draws than previous years and reached 17th place, a new height but missing out on the Top 16 by 1 point to her team member Chris Clark who qualified. 150cc Grand Prix she has trained less on but managed to reach 14th there. Leyla reached 13th overall at the SMK World Championship 2014, 3rd in the UK and retains all Women's titles on all of the Multiplayer modes.

== Loss of Women's Time Trial World title to Alicia L'Hoest, 9th February 2015* ==
  −
  −
On the 9th February 2015, it was announced that former Time Trial World Champion, and current 4th fastest ever in the World on PAL and NTSC as of that date, Pierre L'Hoest of France, has had an identity change and will now be known as Alicia L'Hoest*. Following this change, Alicia (formerly Pierre) would now be included on the Women's World Ranking, taking all 40/40 records there on both PAL and NTSC. This change then moves Leyla into 2nd place again; and on NTSC Anna Moon of the UK and Yukiko Takada of Japan who held records on there have now also lost those to Alicia.
        Line 160: Line 153:     
Battle Mode was a solid improvement on the previous year with a 13th place position on the group stages, and she won the barrage match vs Dutch #2 Aron Langerak to reach the Top 16, which followed with a 5-1 defeat vs UK Team Member, Conor Wood. On 150cc Grand Prix Leyla kept the momentum up and managed to take on faster rivals helping her to reach 12th. She had a Top 16 match vs France's Geoffrey Label who is a former medallist. She won a cup after a good strategy involving a green shell on Vanilla Lake 1, but lost 2-1.

== Return to NTSC Time Trials in 2017  ==
 +
 +
Leyla made a return to NTSC Time Trials in late 2017 to revamp her old timeset but with NBT. She has hit some high level records on Mushroom and Flower Cup towards the end of the year and landed her first ever UK Record on NTSC with 11.83 seconds on Mario Circuit 2 lap.
 +
 +
 +
 +
== Super Mario Kart World Championships 2018 ==
 +
 +
Leyla entered the Super Mario Kart World Championship 2018 which was held at the eSports bar at Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands for the first time.
 +
 +
Time Trial group stage went very consistently and she scored a few high position. The Top 16 was a nightmare for some of the top players, including Julien, Karel and her Uncle Sami who were all eliminated on Ghost Valley 3. Leyla reached the Quarter Finals and due to her success on the group stage, she reached her first UK Time Trial Title.
 +
 +
Battle Mode had some difficulties and Leyla ended up in the barrages but with a successful win vs Adrien Garreau, shortly after facing Julien to lose in the Top 16. Match Race went smoothly as she landed a spot with another chance to go for the Quarter Finals. Another regular rival Guillaume Leviach was in the Top 16 and defeated Leyla 5-2 however.
 +
 +
150cc Grand Prix had a surprise turn around this year as pushed through to 6th place in the Group Stage. She had a great opportunity to reach the Quarter Finals here and faced Algeria's Champion, Salim Araissia. Salim was however victorious at this time but Leyla reached 9th overall to mark her first time above the Top 10 at the Championships.
 +
 +
 +
 +
== American Super Mario Kart Championships 2018 ==
 +
 +
The American Super Mario Kart Championships were created for the first time by the Louisiana team in USA. The event was held in March 2018 in Monroe, Louisiana USA across a weekend with a Triple Elimination system and the first official NTSC competition on console. Leyla travelled to USA with her Uncle Sami, meeting with Dutch competitiors Karel and Martin, and Guillaume from France to complete the European visitors. They faced a number of karters from Louisiana, Mississippi, California, Colorado and Oklahoma on the first edition.
 +
 +
Time Trial group stage went exceptionally well for Leyla as she had near enough a clean sweep of the tracks with consistent driving. Unfortunately with zoom start issues along with her Uncle Sami at the Top 16 level, both were eliminated early to place them out of the running for winning the Championship.
 +
 +
Match Race was reasonably good and Leyla held some good races together but was eliminated before the Podium. However 150cc Grand Prix was a big surprise as she had an unfortunate beginning and then had to take a path on the 3rd elimination to the top facing each USA competitor. With consistent wins Leyla reached the 3rd Place Match vs Guillaume Leviach and managed to win, earning her first Bronze Medal at a Super Mario Kart World Championship.
 +
 +
The weekend finished up with Battle Mode and although this wasn't her strongest mode, Leyla gave her best and this landed her in joint 4th Place overall in a tie with Dutch Rival Martin van Haasteren.
 +
 +
 +
 +
== Super Mario Kart World Championships 2019 ==
 +
 +
The Super Mario Kart World Championship 2019 was held again at the eSports bar at Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands and Leyla returned for the toughest year yet. The Time Trial competition was solid this time round with a lot of improved players. Leyla held together a great round however and a good placing at 8th on the group stage. The new elimination round was difficult and Leyla has an unfortunate exit at 13th due to a missed zoom start.
 +
 +
Battle Mode was slight step up from the previous year with Leyla placing 14th and defeating UK team mate David Moll in the barrage, followed with a battle to the finish vs USA's former Battle Mode Champion Drew Blumfield where she lost 5-4.
 +
 +
Match Race also had a lot of close rounds vs everyone and Leyla made it to 12th Place in the group stage, and she landed in a Top 16 Match vs her biggest rival Jeremie "Jey" Clement. After being 4-2 down, Leyla made a comeback to win vs Jey 5-4 and reach her first Match Race Quarter Final. Leyla faced her Uncle Sami and took two races from him, following with a 7-2 loss.
 +
 +
150cc Grand Prix was a nightmare this year with a lot of narrow losses in the group stage. Leyla however held up the battle as much as she could, working her way through the barrage, defeating Mike Hulscher of the Netherlands, but then losing to Martin van Haasteren, also the Netherlands. Leyla's rival Sophie Jarmouni reached her first Quarter Final there which resulted in Sophie taking the Women's World Title at the Championships for the first time. Leyla's final placing was great at 11th and she passed several big rivals who were all very closely ranked.
