  • Ghost Valley 1
  • Mario Circuit 3

Guys, please use this thread for Super Mario Kart going forward. You may re-post your scores in this thread and update that, or you can continue to use your original post.  Consolidating everything will be on me.

I tried to specifically target less expensive titles in general, and added the ability to drop one game each year so as to relieve those demands even more.

Next year will be the same.  There will be one very expensive title at the end of the year so people have time to set up a way to play it, a few moderately expensive titles that most people already have (hint, Konami brawler), and then a bunch of cheap titles.

I'm going to play at some point too but it will just be for participation cred. I haven't been all that excited to play Super Mario Kart.

Well, if it gives you more drive, the 2016 winner gets to pick one game for the 2017 schedule and you have the best chance of catching Andy

Next year I'll probably do a year-end tournament like the NES thread so people don't feel hopelessly behind

I will definitely be getting some scores up for this at some point. I got an OK time on Ghost Valley, but haven't put any time in on the others. My gaming time almost always falls really late at night, so grinding out times for Mario Kart doesn't always appeal to me at 1 or 2 am. I will be getting some times up for sure though.

I have to create some more room between me and the competition as a couple games coming up I have little or no experience in. UN Squadron being one. Hopefully we get some more times for Mario Kart. I know there were a bunch of people that joined Super Punch Out! late last month.

UN Squadron is one of the games I might actually be motivated enough to try and beat you all

There is still a difference of 15 seconds, it's very hard to catch up with him.

When I look at my over 20 year old records, it's absolutely possible to get there, but I'm far away from beeing as good as I was then.
