yeh that's just ScouBs internet, he streamed over 4G signal so had the occasional dropped frames. Definately not suspicious, he is by far and away the best player in the world as he has prooved by winning the last 4 world championships.

I agree JoeReinreb should be made a mod for super mario kart. Only having one (unreliable) mod seems silly to me. JoeReinreb is well respected in the smk community (a former time trial champion, and a mainstay of the various kart boards/discord).

Actually dan I disagree and think that SMK could do with some more mods, I think the game would probably have more activity here if there were mods actively approving runs, rather than having to wait for Lafungo to do it (which from what I have seen can take weeks). I do agree that any new mods should come from the SMK community, and I'm sure there are a number of trustworthy players that could do it (you already named a few).

It's cheaper to get japanese equipment and games in Europe than American versions. Don't think there is any time difference though. I could test test it to see if the menu transistion and track transition times differ but I don't think they do. The race's themselves are the same.

^Loads of people compete for time trials and GP on indiviual tracks, just not on speedrun.com. The smk community has been around a long time and so we have had our own sites over 15 years now (maybe longer).

The funny thing is that dan__h should actually have this 'wr' since his mushroom cup in the 1P all cups run he submitted is faster (but then my 'time' was done on the 2nd try after not having played GP in ages and not using items).

Since Lafungo is away visiting KVD this weekend I don't know when this will be approved so here is the vid:

SMK 150cc Mushroom cup in 7'43 by an imbecile that has no idea what he is saying, but still wants to express himself.

Also just to ilustrate a point I just beat this 'wr' with a 7'43 (video uploading to youtube atm so will be available soon).

Some notes form this run:

1. I didn't use a single mushroom or feather, I beat this purely with driving. Since Mushrooms can be used to cut large parts of DP1 and feathers large parts of BC1, clearly if I played this for more than the short period I did this afternoon then much faster times would be possible.

2. I had many driving mistakes including, hitting wall and stopping on GV1, hitting thwomps and stopping on BC1, not jumping the bumpers a lot on BC1, missing the zoomstart and stalling on MC2.

3. I hadn't played GP at all since last summer (and then that was pal, last time I played ntsc GP was years ago) and was very rusty so my driving in general was not good.

I really hope this drills home the fact that what I said about no decent times having been set for this to be true. If someone of Karels ability was to seriously attempt this then they would destroy this time I just set. Lafungo Is higher ranked than me in time trials so to doubt he could get such a bad time hopefully would seem silly to you now.

FYI track times (In game) were: MC1 48"98 DP1 1'04"69 GV1 56"19 BC1 1'20"19 MC2 1'10"56

^lol, that is why I put "submitted decent 1p GP times". The time Karel submitted was not a decent time for him, he could go so much faster.

NBT has been known in Europe/US since the early 2000's and in Japan since the 90's so is not a new technique. I actually play this game at a decent level in time trials so am very familiar with nbt (since I use it all the time) and have attended the last 7 super mario kart world championships so I do have some idea on what a good run here would be.

Also thanks for explaining to me who Karel is, I would never have known this (other than the fact I have met him many times and am a mod in his twitch channel), but then I'm just an imbecile that has no idea what I'm saying.

Anyway I'm not going to bother argueing with a clear troll who knows nothing about SMK or the SMK community any more.

This is so funny to read. Lafungo is a well respected karter, he is high ranked and well proven on the time trial site, attends meets (including SMK world championships in 2012 and 2016). No very top player has ever submitted decent 1p GP times to this site (since we have our own 150cc site, where we play for individual track times), the times Lafungo submitted are not good (I suspect they were possibly one tries without decent items just submitted to set a easy benchmark). To say the 2nd place guy played a perfect run only shows how little the original poster knows about this game and the smk community.
