Robin Usher

Robin Usher is a player of many Mario Karts, an active forum poster, and a staff member.

In April 2003, Robin joined the Mario Kart 64 Player's Page at the rank of Newbie F. He climbed very slowly in rank until stopping at the Semi-Pro ranks in the summer of 2004. He took a break from MK64 for about a year, then came back the next summer and quickly rose up to Elite before stopping again. Robin is currently ranked 155th at Elite B. He hopes to reach the King ranks by the end of 2006, but this is probably just wishful thinking on his part.

Robin has also joined the sites for Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart DS, where he is ranked 134th, 32nd, 439th, and 299th respectively. He has never really spent much time trying to improve in these other games, though, because he knows that the Kart = Chicks equation is really only true for MK64.

While Robin may never become famous for his Mario Kart skills, he is well known for the various contributions he's made to the kart community. Robin is one of the few Japanese members of the community, and he translated the join pages for the MKDD and MKDS sites into Japanese. He also helps out with contacting Japanese players. Robin became a staff member in Summer 2004, when he created the MK64 Rivalries. This section allows a comparison between 3-5 karters, unlike the Matchups which are for head-to-head between 2 karters. Alex Penev later added a rivalry section based on Robin's model to the other 4 kart sites, which are updated automatically, but Robin still updates the MK64 rivalries himself. Robin also moderates the MK64 YahooGroup and updated the times sheets for one year.
