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.  Michael did poorly 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 4th in [http://www.mariokart64.com/top100/universal.html universal].
