'''Michael Fried''' is a Mario Kart player, an active forum poster (currently going by "Darth Friedious" on the forum), an MKDS staff member, an AIM+MSN chatter, a strong believer in the kart gods, and someone who's desperately trying to think of more titles for himself for the sole purpose of lengthening his bio.  He has played 4 Mario Kart games, [[Super Mario Kart]], [[Mario Kart 64]], [[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]], and [[Mario Kart DS]].  He also owns [[Mario Kart Super Circuit]], and may or may not start playing it in the near future depending on how long it takes him to recover from his Mario Kart DS addiction.

Michael is a fairly average karter in each of the 4 Karts he has played, but has managed to use trickery to convince everyone else to continue improving at only a single Kart, and has thereby secured his title of [http://www.mariokart64.com/combinedranks/ best all-round karter] until the end of time... or at least until people discover his evil plan.  Although he doesn't play more than 1 Kart at a time, he keeps up with new strats for the various games and watches videos, so he is well prepared if he decides to make a return to one of the games.

Even though he is naturally very competitive, Michael is never selfish when it comes to sharing strategies as he considers it important to strengthen the overall strength of times in a game, not just his own.  He often explains strategies to people through AIM or MSN, and sometimes posts detailed strategies on the forum.  In all 4 Karts he's played, he's had a very good history of providing plenty of video proof.
