Alex is a former Mario Kart 64 world champion for both non-shortcut and shortcut. He pioneered some strategies (notably Kalimari Desert) and many shortcuts, and has had several long-standing WRs. Most were shortcut WRs, and they have all fallen as the years went by. His most famous WR was for CM non-shortcut flap, which despite being done with an inferior strat (lap 1 instead of lap 2), stood for more than 5 years. Some of his other long-standing records, such as LRSC 3lap and CMSC 3lap, were eventually beaten with the use of new shortcut routes.

Alex is currently ranked 17th in Non-SC and 6th in SC in MK64. He has been #1 in both, but has gradually slipped through the years. He was also the top ("universal") MK64 player for many years. He is still currently #2 in [http://www.mariokart64.com/top100/universalARR.html Universal ARR] and #4 in [http://www.mariokart64.com/top100/universal.html Universal AF], indicative of concentrating on both fields, rather than specialising. He has never officially retired, and has made a few returns to try out new SC discoveries.

Alex was MKDD champion in the infancy of the competition, rising to the top of the ladder in a couple of weeks' time during January 2004. He dominated for 4 months, but went into inactive status in July 2004 and has since slipped to outside the top-50.
