I can’t decide whether to be more impressed by the quality of the driving or the fact that you have four such clear screen recordings of the whole thing. So cool to see all four perspectives. Nice one putting this all together Abel.

[@mkdsabel]

Thanks very much! We are very fortunate to have capture boards installed on our systems to make this all possible. It's night and day compared to over 10 years ago when we would record with a webcam strapped to our chest/shoulder.

Abel, I’m so glad that you keep playing such a great game :)

[@mkdsabel]

Great to hear from you again Centi! I still remember us playing together in 2009 - you should join us for some matches again sometime.

[@CentipedeMKDS]

@@mkdsabel Yeah I hope so, but I need to send my DS to a fix center first because some buttons of it are unworkable now lol

[@MKDS1992]

This match was legendary, I absolutely love it, even with this ending xD

Pure history of mario kart 👊

[@Vissing]

Really nice video! Would love to see more content in the format like the video for the Grand Final of the WC this year (MKDS1992's channel) - - any prospect of this, including having the call in it?

[@mkdsabel]

Thanks for the kind words! All I can say for now is that there are plans in the background for online-related content.

[@nathangitz2674]

What a comeback.
Goes to show how amazing the Japanese are at games like this.

[@gavinn.4060]

Top tier racing

[@JeynickRuns]

Yo, noob question: is Toad lighter in the JP version?
P.S. Cool race!

[@mkdsabel]

Thanks! Dry Bones is slightly lighter than Toad, but it's not noticeable at all.

[@JeynickRuns]

@@mkdsabel Ah cheers!
