Changes

Before MKSC, Michael played MKDS.  Michael is a former world champion in MKDS, and held the title continuously for the first 99 days after the game's release, a feat never before accomplished in any Kart.  At one time he even held all 64 world records at once.  He finally lost his title to [[Miguel Rodriguez]] for awhile, and then eventually reclaimed the title for 2 weeks in June 2006 before losing it for good to [[Thomas Bolton]].  Since then he has fallen out of the top 20.  Michael also spent a considerable amount of time competing in [http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1169541320 Non-MT], in which he currently holds more than 50 world records, and in mission mode, in which he used to hold many world records on [http://cyberscore.net/group-1506.php Cyberscore].

In August 2006, Michael created and updated an [http://z9.invisionfree.com/MKDSWifiRatings/index.php?act=idx MKDS Wifi ranking site], where people could play rated Wifi games and receive a rating, based on a rating system similar to the ELO system.  It was fun for a short time, but didn't hold peoples' interest for long, so the idea was given up a few weeks later.  Surprisingly, Michael didn't do very well in these rankings, mostly due to his poor item skills; he was never known as much of a Wifi player, and did not spent much time practicing Wifi.

Despite never having been world champion, Michael's best Mario Kart is Mario Kart 64; he considers himself more skilled in this game than in MKDS.  He currently holds one world record, [[Yoshi Valley]] fastlap ([http://wrvids.com/Mario%20Kart/MK64/Fastest%20Available%20Vids/yv-2618-Fried.mpg video]).  He is also the first person to land the [[Rainbow Road (MK64)|Rainbow Road]] spiral shortcut on all 3 laps, and he discovered a new strategy that saves .1 in Frappe Snowland.  He is currently ranked 7th in non-shortcut (4th NTSC), 11th in shortcut, and 3rd in [http://www.mariokart64.com/top100/universal.html universal].

Michael played Super Mario Kart for 2-3 months in late 2005.  He didn't get near the top before retiring, but he did manage to reach God (by the [http://www.geocities.com/MarioKart64Legend/ntscstan.htm old standards]).  He then returned to MKSC in 2007, and is currently ranked 27th.  He holds 6 trick flap world records ([http://wrvids.com/Mario%20Kart/SMK/Fastest%20Available%20Vids/Trick/ videos]).

Michael played Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in the game's early history and peaked at 5th place, at one time holding the Mushroom City world records.  Since then he has fallen out of the top 100.  Michael is not happy about this, so he will most likely return to MKDD eventually.
