I was wondering how good the karters on this site are compared to other groups of karters, so I compared the times on this site to various other times I've seen, and here are the results:

Number of World Records

MKDD Players' Page Karters: 24 (12 unique)
Japanese Karters: 12 (5 unique)
French Karters: 10 (5 unique)
Total: 46
MKDD PP/Japanese overlap (Moritz): 7
MKDD PP/French overlap (Audenaert, Baczynsky, Grard, and Regeffe): 5
Total without repeats: 34

Note: Karters who are members of more than one site will be counted in both groups.  The MKDD PP/Japanese karter is Moritz.  The MKDD PP/French karters are Audenaert, Baczynsky, Grard,  and Regeffe.  The French karters that haven't joined the MKDD PP (or in Guillaume's case, banned) are Guillaume, Rapha, Simba, and Titgouda.  Also, keep in mind that the Japanese don't play flaps, so their number of world records could have been higher if they did.  If you find any mistakes then let me know and I'll fix them.  If you know of any other sites that list records besides the ones that I listed below then let me know.

As you can see, the karters at the MKDD Players' Page are the best karters in world, but will it stay that way?  Will any group ever completely dominate the MKDD world?  Only time will tell.

In case anyone's interested, here are the pages that I found times on:

http://www.mariokart64.com/mkdd/wrs.php (MKDD PP records)

http://www2.loops.jp/%7Eneka/mkdd/records.html (Japanese records)

http://www.mariokart.jp/db/ta/movie.html (more Japanese records)

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/gm4j/gpx.html (Nobuo's MaC 3lap time)

http://mariokart.world-ranking.net/world.php (French records)

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=13206&topic=12571284&pa... (Moritz's WS SC flap time)

How do you know that our splits beat their's?  The splits in the videos probably aren't their best splits.  Btw, I'm pretty sure that the MK64 Players' Page has by far the best karters in the world.

Edit: I forgot to list the page that I got the MaC 3lap time from, so I just editted that in.

It's kind of obvious from how consistent their laps are. Also, most of their vids include an flap (since they don't compete for laps aswell)

Yeah, they always do 1-shroomers though. Except on PB

I thought some of there strats were better, but some were worse. Their performance was good and very consistent. But our performance is better, just not as consistent.....yet

Isn't that what black people say when they want more crackers.....gimme some mo ritz?

haha i know i intended it to be

I dont think anyone cares if they are off Moritz christmas list anyway and i dont think he is on anyones anyway.

Aww man, that's too bad, I hear he makes homemade ones with baby Jesus pop-ups

I see Grard is the best at MKDD right now too; I just saw his new times....OMG
Anyway, Congrats David - Amazing racing

haha yeah congrats David , badluck on 2ND PLACE Moritz

Yeah, but I think you mean 50 hz players, not French or UK. :-D

Yeah, Moritz is back.

No, because if you look at total players you get it:

60 hz - 227
50 hz - 55

So there are 4 times more 60hz players than50 hz players, but in top 20 you can see 11 50hz there, in a logical way if there wasn't any difference, it whould be 16 60hz and 4 50hz in top 20.

And top 30 there are 15 50hz players and 15 60hz players.

So just 6.6% of 60hz players are in top 30 and 27.2% of 50hz players are in top30.

I read that, but since grard strated playing 50 hz to record himself he started getting so many good times and reaching 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and now 1st and getting so many WRs.

So, you and grard are proven, so why don't u play 60 hz now and get all your times with 60 hz and become a 60 hz players?
You said you want GOD in LC, so start playing 60 hz to get this GOD in 60 hz.
