MK7 is almost out for a month, and with the ending of 2011 I wanted to make a thread to give a quick summary of the WR activity so far. Every statistic I show is calculated starting from December 5th, because that day everyone got MK7 for at least a day and I think that we could call the BKTs WRs.

Days with WRs

Every day a player has held a single WR is counted in this category. If you hold two WRs for two days at the same time, than 4 days will be counted for you.

It will surprise nobody, but Mick is the player who has held a WR for the longest time. It has certainly helped that he most of the time held more than 1 WR at the same time. In total, Mick has held WRs for a total of 81 days. The second player, 15 days behind Mick, is Nicola, with 66 days. Number three on this chart is Jarv who held WRs for a total of 54 days. ALAKTORN (34) and Michael F (31) complete the top 5.

In total, 74 players have held a WR for at least one day. 45 players have held a WR for at least five days and 31 players have held at least one WR for at least 10 days. The players that have held WRs for at least 20 days are (+ offcourse the top 5 named above):

Cole (28)
Shaun (28)
Liar (26)
MVT (26)
DoPe RiDe (22)
Jazz (22)
Narshen (21)
Skyburst (20)

Note: The Japanese player 名無し has a score of 42 days, but it's uncertain if this is one player or more than one. I will name his statistics in a note in every category.

Total of single WRs

In this category every single time that has once been a WR is counted. So if you're a pro at making 0"001 improvements, than you'll score high here.

Again, nobody is shocked by seeing that Mick tops this chart with 39 individual WRs. The runner-up this time is the master of the tiny improvements Michael F with 33 individual WRs. That setting a lot of single WRs on one track will help you get high up this chart, proves MVT, who has made 26 individual WRs, of which 23 were set on RRM. Tied on place 4 with 22 individual WRs are Nicola and Shaun.

In total there are 89 people who have set a WR. When we leave out the one, two, three, four and five-WR wonders, we see that 28 people made 6 WRs or more. These are the players who have made more than 10 WRs:

ALAKTORN (17)
G-Danzee (16)
Jazz (14)
Jarv (13)
Narshen (12)

Note: Shady guy 名無し scores a total of 15 WRs.

Multi-talented guys

Setting a WR on one track is a great achievement, but to be among the legends, you should try and get WRs on as many tracks possible. The real legends are listed here.

This time it's nobody else than Mick who has come closest to eternal fame with WRs on no less than 17 different tracks! Well what more can I say? The second place on this list is for Nicola, who totals a nice total of 8 tracks with WRs. He is followed by a bunch of players with 6 tracks: Shaun, Jak, Jarv, Michael F, Hutch and ALAKTORN. Four players have a total of 5 tracks with WRs: Liar, Stacy, Alexony and Kryken.

Ofcourse, the total of players with 1 WR is the same as in the above category, namely 89. 30 players have achieved two WRs on two different tracks.

Note: 名無し scores high on this list, with 7 different tracks where he (they?) held a WR on.

Longest lasting WRs

Enough with the player statistics, let's take a look at the WR times. Times that are still a WR at this moment are counted until January 1st.

A bit unexpected, the longest lasting WR is a tie between WH (No-glitch): 1'24"552 Nicola (19 days) and MW (Glitch): 1'06"237 by Skyburst (19 days). Skyburst's time was beaten yesterday, so Nicola will top this chart alone tomorrow if he doesn't get beaten this night. Nicola's time is no-glitch and some people tend to only play glitches, but this time was set before the glitch was discovered. Anyway, the third place is also a WR that also is a WR atm: DC: 1'27"969 by Cole (17 days).

13 times have lasted for at least 13 days:

SGB: 2'04"945 by 名無し (14 days)
MC: 2'00"912 by びびあそ (14 days)
MG: 1'38"387 by はるまき (14 days)
CCL: 1'35"895 by Nicola (13 days)
MP: 1'50"905 by Ridley (13 days)
PPS: 1'48"803 by CaseyB (13 days)
LR: 1'43"918 by Onizuka (13 days)
BC1: 1'14"846 by Zwiebel (13 days)
CM: 1'58"448 by RusoX (13 days)
DKP: 2'00"411 by Jarv (13 days)

Final statistics

Some rather unimportant statistics that maybe some unimportant people might be interested in.

The track with the most WR activity is Rock Rock Mountain with 31 WRs. All credit goes to MVT. Other active tracks are Waluigi Pinball with 26 WRs and Koopa Cape with 23 WRs.
The most boring tracks (in terms of WR activity ofcourse) are Mushroom Gorge with only 4 WRs, Music Park with no more than 5 and Luigi Mansion with 7 WRs.

Finally the track with the most changing strategy is Koopa Cape. WRs have been set using 5 different karts and 4 different sets of tyres.


OK, I hope this wasn't too boring. If anyone wants to know other statistics that weren't included here, than PM and I'll see if I have them somewhere.

If you guys enjoyed this, than I might do this again at the end of next month. Let me know what you think about it!

Having one of these at the end of every month, or year even, would be awesome  

I really like to read something like that!  

I do think my table fits good in this topic, so here it is:



The WR History from KD (my favourite track in this game) starting from December 5th.

/Edit: fixed.

Haha, yeah of course! Too lazy to fix that now though.

This is pretty cool stuff!
Thanks thomas and the others for all that!  

this is cool as fuck i like this.

Oh also Dused, what do you use to make that table? I might be tempted to do similar for some of the other tracks, and if everyone does a bit now, then not as much work will have to be done in the future by Pierrepont or someone else on their own

Claims like that are never allowed or accepted.

Here's one for rDC (Might be a few things wrong, like the countries):



We should have someone doing each track, lighten the workload for this project.

And here's a vid of my 1:29.998

what about me?
i held 13 WRs at the release day  

edit: i also had like 50 single WRs
ask alaktorn for pics and go to my yt for vids
if alak does not have the pics anymore i can send you most of them

I have actually been keeping a HUGE excel database with records from all tracks dating back to 12/3/11 or so. I also included the time that somebody made a forum post about it, or when it was uploaded to a website. I'm not sure how to post it up here, except by maybe a printscreen but if anybody has any ideas, feel free to tell me!

BTW I'm happy to keep doing this recording for the foreseeable future  

Ofcourse I have held track of every WR set starting from December 5th, otherwise I would have had a lot of trouble calculating all of the stats in the op. I already shared my stats with Mick and I'll see what will be done with them.
