Since Michael started playing MKSC, he hasn't been spending as much time on MKDS, but he's still playing it a little. Michael is a former world champion in MKDS, for about the first 3.5 months after the game's release (at one time even holding all 64 [[WR]]s at once) until he lost his title to [[Miguel Rodriguez]]. He finally reclaimed his title from Miguel for a short time until he lost it again to [[Thomas Bolton]]. He is currently ranked 3rd. Michael recently created and has been updating an [http://z9.invisionfree.com/MKDSWifiRatings/index.php?act=idx MKDS Wifi ranking site], where people can play rated Wifi games and receive a rating, with a rating system similar to the one used in chess. Surprisingly, Michael is ranked in last place in the Wifi rankings despite being so good at time trials, mostly due to his n00bish item skills. Michael is also good at mission mode, and is currently 1st place in missions on [http://cyberscore.net/group-1506.php Cyberscore].

The Kart Michael has spent the most time on and considers himself most skilled at is Mario Kart 64, even though he is ranked lower in this game than he is in MKDS. He holds one world record, for [[Yoshi Valley]] fastlap ([http://www.thengamer.com/MK64/14-YoshiValley/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, 11th in shortcut, and 3rd in [http://www.mariokart64.com/top100/universal.html universal].
