Activity
First of all, let's start with the most obvious change: There’s a lot more activity.
Compared to 2014, and most of 2015, 2016 really "revived" MKDD Time Trialing again.

More people are joining, and more people are staying active. That brings me to the activity in the leaderboards.

Leaderboards
The top 10 has had some massive changes. For the first time in 6 years the top 10 got not one, but two new players. And if that wasn’t enough, Richard got beaten by Andrew, becoming the new world champion.
There also have been new strats and world records. Of course the most famous new strat being the new Baby Park flap strat, shaking up the entire scene and bringing back legends like Paul for example.

2016 Goals
Now let’s get on with the show and look what everyone’s goals have been this past year, and if they were met. Well, I can say that most of you have done well. But some people… _Frigz

Happy new year everyone

-Goomba

Great summary Mike. Loved it.  

Ayy nice review Goomba ! I love the activity chart, let's hope it keeps going like this this year too  

Unfortunately I still haven't reached the 0'27 FLap on MaC. Maybe this year  

Actually I did turn on my GC in 2016, although I didn't play any MKDD time trials. Maybe that should be my goal for 2017  

Prediction: Goomba accomplishes his goal of top 3 overall by February

Actually I really do believe in that.. He owned us so hard in the normal way so why not in the ''new gameplay of MKDD''!
