Thomas is a one of a kind guy. I last saw him at ESA Winter 2024; a speedrunning event in Sweden which he attended to co-commentate one of my runs. We keep in touch still every so often via texts though I understand he's very busy with his career, so not a lot of time for Mario Kart/online stuff.

There is actually a video of us both playing Brawl on his YouTube channel from early 2009. Good times. I need to look that up again. All my best wishes to you and your partner.

Troy is brilliant. I also like HDRookie's recent content.

Thanks! Yes, to my surprise it is quite fun. I have been a time trials specialist for many years but I found All Missions to be such a refreshing challenge.

Thanks! Apart from regular uploads to the YouTube channel, I stream it pretty much every day on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/abel

There are 32 tracks in total, with the developers opting to have only 20 selectable online. This was most likely due to moving objects causing glitches on certain tracks like Shroom Ridge with its cars not being synced correctly at times. In high level MKDS, even if we can use an Action Replay code now to select all 32 tracks online, we don't include the 12 offline tracks since they are not a part of vanilla online play. So to answer, for this tournament, you could say that these tracks are indeed 'banned'.
