Hello SMK'ers,
I had my first encounter with SMK in over a decade today. (aside from playing on an emulator once or twice).
When one of my friends learned that I play mario kart (mkdd) he immediatly said: "Oh yeah, well I can kick your ass in smk! I challenge you!". So we played a little VS mode at first. Unfortunatly, one of my very, very old controllers kept pausing the game for no reason. With only one fonctional controller, we decided to play a little TT. Looking through his times, I was pretty impressed. I didn't know what a "good" time was but all his times were not far apart. For example, MC1 was like #1- 1'06"2x and #5- 1'06"7x.
Anyways, FIRST TRY I beat his best time. He tried to beat my ghost a couple of times but then gave up and he was pissed!

I got MC1: 1'06"12 & 12"08
first two laps were 14"xx but once I got the hang of it my last 3 laps were a bit better (12"5x or lower, including the 12"08 flap)
I felt like sharing that with you guys
