Revision as of 12:35, 13 July 2006

Jason Whalls is remembered as one of the pioneers of Mario Kart 64, being the second member (after Kevin Booth) to have his times listed on the page. Along with Andy Launspach, Kevin Booth and Jason Engel, Jason was one of the Feared 4 in Mario Kart 64 in 1997.

He was an all-rounder player, skilled in both Shortcut and Non-Shortcut. Some of his best known marks included Banshee Boardwalk 1'45"39 (a Top 10 nomination), some really old Frappe Snowland lap WRs, and way too many shortcuts (YV SC).

Jason is perhaps closest to Kevin Booth and Louis-Philippe Sabbagh than any community members, and the trio goes back to at least 1997. In earlier days, they competed at Andy's site, one of the first Mario Kart Time Trials sites. Kevin later took over, and founded the Player's Page, which today resides at the mariokart64.com domain. In those early days, Jason spent most of his web-time in the Mario Kart IRC chatroom--braving the deficiencies of WebTV--and shared many laughs and coming-of-age enlightening conversations with Kevin, Louis, Alex Penev, Olga the Cow, and others. Jason was Kevin's SVP, and many considered him the most suitable for creating funny side-projects for the community. He was a well-respected member for his high ranking and sense of humour. He's fondly remembered for his Kart Bible (Kart = Chicks) and Fake Chats. He eventually was about to get proper Internet and chat programs, and talked to more members online.

Jason was one of the first Mario Kart players to create an online profile. He once credited Alex as being the first to make profiles look good, but some consider Jason to be the first to have an interesting profile with more things to read on it than just numbers in a table. Profiles are now a typical feature of all the Mario Kart sites, but they contain much less personal information than when they were updated by invidividual members.

Apart from Mario Kart 64, Jason has also played Super Mario Kart (where he held many NTSC records in 2000/2001), and Mario Kart Super Circuit (where he held many records in 2002). In many of the games Jason played for high-scores, Kevin and Louis were also competitors in the same game. He was a regular at N64HS, and has/had records in Mario Golf, Super Mario 64 and Wave Race 64, among others. He won a Nintendo tournament for Mario Golf soon after the game came out, and has been listed in Twin Galaxies for Wave Race competition. Jason was also one of the pioneers of Diddy Kong Racing time trialing, and along with Kevin (who started a DKR page), Jason was a top-ranked player for years (fighting against Louis).

Some interesting trivia about Jason is that he has a dog, Ben, he and Kevin once shared tied records on both lap and 3lap on Royal Raceway (a poignant moment in the history of MK64), he listens to Soundgarden and Beastie Boys, and is known to quote George Carlin on occasion.

Jason was significantly involved with the Karter Contest 2004, but he no longer signs on AIM and has not kept contact with most of the community due to his (and Louis's) addiction to World of Warcraft. Those two might come back some day, when they realise that WoW =/= Chicks.
