Hey everyone Smiley

So I've finally unburied myself, gotten access to my Kart games, and now I'm sitting here playing some SMK, forcing myself to just play the game a bit to get reacclimated.

My question is, where should I start to get PRs again? I haven't picked up SMK in over two years and I have the sudden itch to PR lol.

I bet Karel would suggest KB1.

Seriously, though, any Mushroom Cup track is a good one to go for.

Eyyy April!

Best to start off slow and try to attack some easier courses just to get back into the swing of things. I fear that if you start off with Rainbow Road you won't come back for another two years...  Smiley

But welcome back! Great to see you again.  Smiley

Welcome back April, perhaps just have some fun playing SMK and kart games for a while and the PRs will follow. Try some of your lower ranked tracks and set small realistic targets and then go from there. Hope all is well with you.

Good luck in getting a new PR!!!! and welcome back!

Thanks everyone Smiley Just to update -- I am trying for MC2 first, just because it was the first track I played that would give me a ghost (which helps me a lot). No PRs yet, but I'm within .75 seconds of my old PR on the 5-lap, so I'm getting close. Cheesy
