#7 Ricky Haitaian is getting close to a sub-10 AF score, and sits on 10.06 right now. His first PR of the month was a 13th place run of Mario Circuit, which was basically Ricky trying to improve one of his weakest times (previously 16th). His weakest is still 17th spot in Colosseum, and most of Ricky's timesheet is top-15.

#37 Enzo Vusur raced a second top-10 time after improving his Daisy Cruiser from 28th to 8th place. This is one spot better than his first top-10, on Bridge lap, from just last week. Enzo's Cruiser lap was almost eight months old by now, and perhaps overdue for some kind of improvement. He also beat his 3lap on the same track, from 60th to 30th. With these two God standards, Enzo moved ahead of #38 Ryan S and #39 Zach O in the rankings.

#42 Mats Frium and #49 Midnightial also gained spots. Mats passed MKDD ex-champions Marius M and Raphael S, as well as current Combined Ranks champion Christian W, with some grinding of a single track: Luigi Circuit. He improved his two-month old times, previously ranked around circa 60th spot, to 36th on the course and 25th on the lap. Notably, both were God standards and his 3lap of 1'14"98 was a milestone sub. Mats reached Myth+ level with these two improvements. Midnightial moved ahead of Tristan M and also improved his Luigi scores, but his highlights were actually on Rainbow Road where he beat both his course and lap by 10+ spots. His new 3lap is Myth A and new lap is Myth+, both helping his ARR approach the Myth+ level. Another couple of weeks might be enough for Midnightial to get there.

#94 Charlotte Crego put some distance between themself and the top-100, sporting a 4pt AF cut to overtake Yannick P and Luke M. Charlotte had a handful of improvements where the top cut was Jungle lap (from 93rd to 66th and now her third highest time), but she also raced a few new top-100s in other tracks. Not super far behind, #110 Joe Consoli moved up two spots and #116 James Bulluck resurfaced after three months off to renew a push for the top-100. Joe got a new best-ranked time with 93rd place on Luigi Circuit, almost a thirty position improvement; it was a little bit higher than his Sherbet Land 3lap (98th) from the last update. Joe's Sherbet lap slipped from 99th to 100th, but still counts as a top-100 ranked time and that means that Joe is up to 3/32 top-100s. James improved one of his two weakest tracks, DK Mountain, by some thirty spots. It's been over a year since he last improved his Mountain 3lap and James managed to cut 0.7 seconds off. He improved the lap as well, nearly at top-100 quality of play.

#200 Douglas Palma reached the a milestone top-200 spot, and had to pass Lukas H, Sam K, Tanguy A, and Mark S to achieve that goal. His highlight was a 59"0 Rainbow lap, more than 40 spots and half-a-second stronger than before, and also Douglas's ninth Titan standard.

#539 Serge Goutorbe completed his timesheet and reported a 67pt cut this week. Serge had 16 improvements, mostly to fill in blanks, but he also improved some existing runs such as his Mushroom Bridge times, from 600+ to 412th on the course and 341st on the lap. These are Serge's top scores, with only DK Mountain being somewhat in the same ballpark. The Bridge lap is also Serge's first Hero standard. Will he be able to find some more?

Also active: #14 Trenton Steinburg (small cut in Bridge 3lap), #226 Jacob Langone (epic sub-3 Rainbow run to find his 4th Titan standard), #448 Oliwia Tachyon (found a sixth top-400 time and reached Exp B level), #879 Pierre Jamelot (improved his best track by fifty spots).

#9 Truffle10 led the way this week, with five improvements -- his first ones in over a month. Highlights were two new top-10s: 9th place in Cruiser lap and 8th place in Mushroom City lap, with the City 3lap missing out on the top-10 by 0"02. Truffle reduced his AF by 0.7 points and might be able to overtake #8 Rebecca with another two or three PRs.

The top-50 was busy this week, with #39 Enzo Vusur, #45 Mats Frium, and #50 Midnightial all reporting. Enzo had remarkable Mushroom Bridge improvements, going from 62nd & 23rd down to 30th & 9th place. I suppose already having a top-25 lap was a clear sign that his course time was underperforming, and cutting thirty spots there is fine, but getting a top-10 lap is new grounds for Enzo. His next best time is ranked 22nd, which means he's never had a time ranked between 10-20. Enzo also pointed out that this is his first 60Hz French record, but it's also the only French record in any Hertz not held by Mattilde. His video has a great reaction. Unlike Enzo, Mats actually passed someone (Olivier P) to gain a spot. Technically speaking, Mats didn't gain much during the last month because he last posted a month ago when Enzo was behind him, so he has just recovered the spot he lost to Enzo weeks ago. Still, we know that Mats likes to score at least one PR every month and with this update he found two top-40 runs, both on Mushroom Bridge, and his lap time was twenty spots higher than before. Midnightial moved ahead of Tyrell W and took over Tyrell's top-50 seat. He also played Mushroom Bridge and found a top-40 run on the course time, marking his third top-40 score. I am guessing that the trio was all grinding the same track for a reason.

There was more action in the top-100 with #75 Adam Wakefield, #96 Charlotte Crego, and #98 Zevihex Titan. Adam's 3.0pt AF cut won him four spots in the rankings to pass the likes of Joshua P, JSX, Alec R, and Marc S. With his first submission since January, Adam collected 8 improvements that included two new Myth standards (on Sherbet lap, Yoshi lap). His cut on Yoshi lap was quite big, from 85th to 56th, and almost surpassed his best ranked time of 54th place on Peach Beach. Adam also reached Myth C level in ARR. Both Charlotte and Zevihex are quite some ways back from Adam, much closer to the top-100 barrier, and both moved up a spot. Charlotte's highlight was a 30"999 Waluigi Stadium lap -- a big improvement on what was already their top ranked score -- going from Myth C to God standard and from 63rd to 42nd place (and also a sub by 0"001). Zevihex sent in his first scores of 2026, also playing Mushroom Bridge and working his way to a 1'19"9 to achieve the sub-1'20.

#113 Joe Consoli is still on the less-glamorous side of the top-100, and would like to join Charlotte and Zevihex soon. Joe moved ahead of Michael S and Jean L this week, so he did gain some spots. He also managed to find his second top-100 score, with 98th place on Sherbet Land 3lap to add to his 99th spot on the same lap. Joe just graduated college, and I'm not sure if that means he will have less time to play or more time to play.

#204 Douglas Palma found his first Titan standard in any track after the first five tracks. It was a Rainbow 3lap, ranked 161st, and is his new highest ranked time. Douglas reported a 4pt AF cut and gained two spots. Surprisingly, he needs just 1pt more to pass the next four players and reach the top-200. Let's see if he can do it next week.

#254 Ewan Lesko reported a 5pt cut and gained six spots. He should reach the top-250 with his next one or two improvements, which means he will move ahead of ex-champion #251 Cesar M. Ewan managed to upgrade his final two Expert standards to Hero level, achieving the 32/32 Hero sweep and also reached overall Hero C status. He also found his first Titan standard with an epic 24"99 Luigi lap.

#467 Nathan Hayter had a busy week, reporting 49 improvements (obviously with multiple cuts on the same tracks). If you use his 254pt AF cut as a guide, you can guess that he improved pretty much every track by around 250 positions. Even ignoring that he was briefly #1 in MK World, we knew last week that Nathan's timesheet was preliminary because he had top-500 scores as well as 1000+ ranked scores next to each other. This week Nathan has practiced the tracks enough to have half of his timesheet under top-500 and half of it just over. Several tracks are ranked 300-400, with Nathan's best being 305th place in Baby Park. Expect some more big cuts next time.

Serge Goutorbe added 10 more runs to his timesheet, and he has now played 10 out of the 16 tracks. One of his new times, on Rainbow Road, was top-500 level. Serge is still missing too many scores to be ranked, but his current average is around No. 600 and he already has quite a few Expert standards, which is pretty good for someone who has only played a couple of weeks.

The gap at the very top remains at 0.03, but we must move down to #39 Enzo Vusur for the highest active player. Enzo gained a spot and moved ahead of ex-champ Paul T. His highlight was getting a second top-25 time with 23rd place on Mushrooms Bridge lap, just one spot behind his peak ranking of 22nd on Mushrooms City lap. Enzo likes the mushrooms.

#51 Midnightial reported a couple of improvements, with a headline PR of 23"9 Sherbet lap. His old 24"0 lap from just last week was ranked 52nd, and he cut nineteen positions to make it his best time (33rd) and take the mantle from Colosseum lap (37th). Also, a nice sub. Midnightial's ARR now sits at 2.00, putting him halfway between Myth+ and Myth A. He will need to reach the top-50 before he reaches Myth+, however.

#97 Charlotte Crego's 2pt cut gives them some breathing room away from the top-100 barrier, and also steps ahead of #98 Mike H, #99 Zevihex T, and #100 Kris W in the rankings. Charlotte's gains came from a single track, DK Mountain; she improved the course time by 0"999 (ha!) to jump from 112th to 74th place, and the lap from 87th to 64th. Although Stadium lap (ranked 63rd) is one spot ahead, the combination of course and lap make it appear that DK Mountain is Charlotte's new top track.

#244 Theo Bregegere and #260 Ewan Lesko both reported cuts of 17 points in the same region. Theo moved up sixteen spots, into the top-250, and Ewan moved up fifteen spots to line up the same achievement for next update. Theo upgraded a few of his last remaining 300+ ranked scores to the 200-300 range, and even found two new top-200s with 186th in Stadium, 189th in Jungle 3lap, and 195th in Jungle lap. That's three out of his five top-200s raced just now. Meanwhile, Ewan does not yet have any top-200 races but instead dedicated eight of his thirteen cuts this week to upgrading his weaker times to top-300 level. He now has 25/32 scores ranked in the 200-300 range, with a peak of 213rd place, so he Ewan is fairly close to a top-200 time himself.

Also active: #115 Joe Consoli (cut 2 AF points but is less confident about reaching top-100 this month), #445 Charles Schrader (several new top-500s), #459 Oliwia Tachyon (inching towards overall Expert B), #880 Pierre Jamelot (found his third top-800 time).

#14 Trenton Steinburg was the highest active player and played some more 50Hz. Following his 50Hz record on the Desert 3lap ten days ago, he pushed his lap to 3rd place, which was also faster than his 60Hz time and added a small AF cut of 0.13 points. Trenton is 0.09 points behind #13 Douglas D, which is looking like a very small gap now. Even a single PR might do it.

#40 Enzo Vusur calculated that he would reach top-40 in Combined and top-30 in 60Hz, and he was right on both calculations. His 2pt AF cut give him a vital win on #41 Mikel N to move to the top-40, and place him only 0.09 points behind ex-champion #39 Paul T. In 60Hz he passed ex-champions Aron and Hendrik, and Mikel again. Enzo's highlights were on Mushroom City where he slashed his 3lap from 75th to 37th. He also raced a career high of 22nd on the lap, his first top-25 time.

#115 Joe Consoli is up two spots for the week, getting ahead of James B and Flynn B. He improved his Colosseum lap to 107th place, which is his second highest ranked time after Sherbet lap. It was more than 20 spots higher than before, and Joe had that in common with his Desert, Jungle and Mario Circuit cuts. He made some progress in Jungle by taking the lap to top-150 level, although his 3lap (ranked 160th) remains as his only score not yet top-150. Joe became Titan A overall and needs another 21 AF points to challenge #100 Charlotte for a top-100 spot.

#260 Theo Bregegere found his first Titan time with a 1'39"7 Daisy Cruiser, which is ranked as high at 155th place. Breaking the 1'40 barrier was good, but this is now Theo's top time by forty spots. He passed three players and made some progress towards the top-150. #275 Ewan Lesko reported a 36pt AF cut and his momentum could take him to the top-250 sooner than Theo. Achieving such a large AF cut required 17 PRs, 12 of which were Expert to Hero upgrades and increase Ewan's Hero tally to 23/32. Two of latest runs were ranked ahead of his best time from last week (ranked 240th), and the faster one was 213rd place in DK Mountain lap. No surprise that, with so many Hero standards, Ewan reached overall Hero D level.

#508 EisFanOff made big moves ahead, this week reporting 23 improvements and a 75pt AF cut. EisFan's highlights were this first group of top-500 scores, all ranked between 440-480th: Luigi lap, Cruiser 3lap, City lap, Yoshi lap, Mountain lap, and both Colosseum 2lap and 1lap. His average is 530th now, so more top-500s are expected. EisFan upgraded all 11 of his Advanced standards to reach 32/32 Experts, and all of his Experts are either C or D rank, which means he will need to find some Bs and As before thinking about shooting for Hero standards.

Also active: #52 Midnightial (new top-50 Sherbet), #100 Charlotte Crego (top-100 Bowser's Castle)

#7 Ricky Haitaian was the first gainer, reducing his AF by 0.4 points and approaching the magic 10.0 point mark. Everyone above him lost a little bit of ground. His highlights were a 1'17"9 Mushroom Bridge (second place and a 0"2 cut) and three more top-10s in Jungle and Castle.

#14 Trenton Steinburg improved his Desert 3lap to top-10 level and found a new 50Hz record in the process (see below!), marking his fourth record. He also managed to beat his 60Hz lap (by 0"002) from trying the lap in 50Hz, and slightly boosted his Sherbet lap to 6th place.

#24 Shane Pizza was another top-50 player to score some solid cuts without gaining any positions. Shane's first improvement in two months was on Jungle 3lap, a track he hadn't improved in over a year, to jump from 27th to 13th place. Shane said he lost a top-10 run there due to a missed MT and hopes to improve it again.

#41 Enzo Vusur was the highest ranked player to actually gain a spot, by passing ex-champ Marius M. He improved just a single run, DK Mountain lap, from 55th to 27th spot. This won him almost thirty spots and 7 standards, which singlehandedly dropped his ARR from 1.47 to 1.27. This was Enzo's last remaining Titan standard and and he went above and beyond, not merely upgrading it to Myth but by overstepping the Myths entirely and landing straight into the God standard. Enzo correctly points out that DK Mountain has very quickly turned from his worst track to become his best track.

#52 Midnightial moved ahead of Bo G with 3 reported cuts. Sherbet 1'14"9 was a new top-50 time, and so were Colosseum 1'58"4 / 58"3. The Colosseum lap was Midnightial's 7th God standard and first top-40 time, clocking in at 37th place.

Lots of activity near the top-100 barrier. #100 Charlotte Crego finally got there, having reached the top-150 in late 2024 and progressing through the next 50 ranks over the past year and a half. Scoring double-digit positions is becoming more common and Charlotte added Mario Circuit (90th / 93rd) and Yoshi Circuit (98th) to her collection, now at 12/32 top-100s. She also raced two new Myth laps, on Mario Circuit and Mushroom City. Close behind Charlotte are #111 Alain Studer and #117 Joe Consoli, who reported large cuts of 20pt and 11pts. Alain was last active in 2024 and returned with 15 improvements, which included his first God standard (on Peach Beach lap) and many new Myth standards; Alain lowered his ARR from Titan C to Titan A, skipping over the B. Joe likewise found 16 improvements and his third, fourth and fifth Myth standrds. He reached 32/32 Myths after beating his last two Heroes on DK Mountain and Bowser's Castle, and pointed out that he passed the speedrunner (#129 Trover M) that got him into Double Dash in the first place. Charlotte may have only just joined the top-100, but Alain and Joe could also do it very soon, or even nudge her back out.

#262 Theo Bregegere found a 14pt AF cut to move up thirteen spots and is closing in on the top-250. His highlight of the week was securing the last 4 scores he needed to reach 32/32 Heroes. Theo's timesheet is spookily consistent with everything at Hero C or D and just two Hero Bs sticking out.

#312 Ewan Lesko found a 103pt cut once again, and jumped another 100+ positions. Last week, Ewan's Jungle 3lap stood out as being his only Hero standard and placing as high as 240th. This week followed up with 10 Heroes and 9 more runs placing between 240-299. His best of that lot was 241st in Mario Circuit 3lap, one spot short of eclipsing the Jungle efforts. Although Ewan crushed his Baby Park eyesore (by 400 positions), it's still his weakest track and might benefit from further revisits.

Also active: #206 Douglas Palma (up to 14/32 top-200s), #567 EisFanOff (promoted to Expert D level).

Trenton's 1'28"508 in Dry Dry Desert was a new 50Hz record, beating Ricky's 1'28"55 from a month ago.

#9 Truffle10 had a busy week, reporting 5 cuts and a 0.9pt AF cut. Truffle's objective was to pass #10 Robert M for the Canada No. 1 spot, which would also require reaching the top-10. He managed to do it, of course, and moved ahead of Muwaffaq, Andrew M, and Rob M as the trio was somewhat closely bunched together.Truffle found small cuts in Luigi Circuit and a chunkier one in Mario Circuit (from 22nd to 13th spot on the 3lap). The big gains came in Wario Colosseum where Truffle subtracted 14 points off his AF with new 2lap and 1lap runs, both top-15 quality. The new cuts raise his top-20 scores to 31/32, missing just Luigi 3lap. Actually it was one of the tracks he improved this week, pushing up to 22nd spot, so he is nearly there.

#14 Trenton Steinburg got the Waluigi record this week, which gave him almost nothing in return in terms of AF because he lost a couple of spots in other places. He did, however, cause #1 Andrew to lose 0.03 points and #2 Tristan to lose nothing (because Trenton was already ranked ahead of him). Ultimately this decreased the gap between #1 and #2 to 0.03 points despite neither of the top two players being active this week. A similar win somewhere else by Trenton could change the champion -- what power!

#42 Enzo Vusur moved ahead of ex-champ Raphael S, current Combined Rankings leader Chrisian W, plus also Oliver P and Mats F. That's four famous scalps. He must have raced a ton of times? Nope, just his old nemesis DK Mountain 3lap. It was languishing as his worst-ranked time by some margin, and Enzo slashed it from 91st place to 38th. It's not his best time, but it's above his average for sure. The resulting ARR cut (of four standards) earned Enzo a promotion to Myth+ status. I'm sure Enzo disliked (or even hated) DK Mountain before, but it just won him a ton of milestones.

#53 Midnightial's 5pt AF cut sure makes him look like a top-50 shoe-in, doesn't it? Tyrell W is currently in the #50 spot and is 3.7 points ahead, which is smaller than Midnightial's improvement for the week. He raced 5 new scores. Double PRs in Colosseum were just "okay" in terms of positions saved, yet are memorable cuts. The new lap of 58"9 was a sub, and the 2lap at 1'59"0 is just about to sub. Daisy Cruiser (96th to 54th) and Mushroom City (92/97th to 47/48th) were the workhorses here and contributed the most to the AF cut. Midnightial's average is 55th place and that trio of runs were nigh 100th, so they obviously had room for improvement and Midnightial returned to finish the job. Can he make it to top-5 by next month?

#130 Joe Consoli's 17pt cut was worth 20 spots in the rankings. Pretty epic stuff, and he surpassed many European players such as Andre O, Jerrol H, Alain S, Joost C, Bart J-B, Steven Z, Martin R, and more. Joe was particularly happy to pass #141 Charlie C as it gave him the No. 2 spot in his home state of Illinois. What else can you say about Joe's 18 new scores except that there were a lot of them? Individually none of them were earth-shattering and his best time is still his 99th place in Sherbet Land from a month ago, but he had some winners. Luigi lap was a big cut (173rd to 118th), as well as Baby lap (166th to 127th). Mushroom Bridge needed a cut and got one (190th to 133rd), and Bridge 3lap was also strong (162nd to 117th). Basically, Joe raced a lot of top-150 times. He still has one Hero standard remaining, but is otherwise well entrenched in the mid-Titans area and just took his first steps into Myth-hood (with Beach lap) and even God-hood (with Baby lap). Perhaps a future career in the top-100 awaits.

#275 Theo Bregegere found a 33pt cut this week and was the least surprising result of the week. Last week he polished the first half of his timesheet, gaining 14 Heroes, while leaving his second half hanging. This week he played only the second half of the timesheet and upgraded 15 Experts to Hero level. These cuts put him at 28/32 Heroes, with just the 4 Experts that slipped through his fingers. He may return to them. Baby Park seems particularly dire as both his runs are ranked 400+, whereas he just raced a 197th ranked time on DK Mountain and is showing top-200 potential. If Theo can nail some solid Baby Park times then he will fly much closer to the top-250 next week.

#415 Ewan Lesko joined two months ago and has been working on his skills. He was missing scores for Waluigi Stadium, which prevented him from being on the rankings, but seemed to be averaging around 525th place. This week he produced 50 PRs over the week, obviously with multiples on many tracks, and jumped up 100 positions. He has one terrible time on Baby Park ranked 800+ that is holding him back, but the new Jungle 3lap ranked 240th is looking quite strong and maybe an indication of things to come.

#621 EisFanOff copy pasted his 76pt cut from last week with another 71pt cut this week. Aside from a new highest ranked time (520th on Jungle 3lap), the most noticeable thing about EisFan's cuts were the number of Expert standards. Last week he has just 1, and now he has 9. He reached overall Advanced A status, and should be able to make his way to Expert over the next couple of weeks as he upgrades more Advanced into Experts.

Also active: #207 Douglas Javier Palma (up four spots, almost at top-200).

New Records

Trenton S improved the Waluigi record to 1:34.910. The previous records were Mike's 1'34"99 from 2022 and Andrew's more recent 1'34"99 from 2025. Trenton raced a 1'35"0 here last week and was pixels away from the record already. His 0"09 improvement is relatively good size improvement and makes him the third player under 1'35.

#12 Truffle10 led activity for the week and reported a 0.6pt AF cut to get within 0.2 points of Muwaffaq I. Truffle's ultimate goal is to reach #9 Robert, Canada's top player, who is now less than 1 point ahead. Maybe he can do it! For his new times, Truffle revisited Luigi Circuit for a minor cut, but his big moves were on Dino Dino Jungle, particularly the 3lap, which he improved from 17th to 6th place.

#14 Trenton Steinburg found three small cuts, one of which was a new 50Hz record.

#45 Mats Frium, #46 Enzo Vusur, and #55 Midnightial were all active near the top-50 region. Mats found his 16th God standard with a top-20 run on Rainbow Road. He improved his lap to 18th place last month and grinded the course time to 18th place this week, just his fourth top-20 score. Enzo improved his Luigi Circuit by two standards, from Myth B to Myth+, and said that he choked the final lap by 0.3 seconds. So it was extra frustrating that he missed the God standard by a mere 0.06, and Enzo said he may keep grinding the level as a distraction from having to return to DK Mountain for his final Myths. Midnightial didn't gain a spot this week, but he achieved a milestone of reaching 32/32 top-100 times thanks to some new runs on Mario Circuit. He also upgrade two Titans to Myths, which leaves him in the same boat as Enzo, with his final two Titans both on DK Mountain.

#103 Charlotte Crego found a 3pt AF cut and moved ahead of Dorian H. Highlights were definitely on Peach Beach where they improved the course and lap from 114th & 128th to 82nd & 83rd, finding nearly fifty spots to cut on the lap. The new Beach lap, a 21"97, was not just a cool sub but also Charlotte's second God standard (after Baby Park lap). The other notable cut for the week was a 1'31"9 Desert run, a minor sub there and also ranked exactly 100th, making it Charlotte's 10th top-100 time.

#150 Joe Consoli reached a bit of a milestone rank and is now more than a hundred positions ahead of where he was just three months ago. Out of 11 improvements, a few of them were top-150 times to match his ranking: 150th on Bridge lap, 140th on Mushroom City, 150th on Mountain 3lap, and 144th on Mountain lap. Some of these were jumps of around 60 positions. Joe still has a few Hero standards left on the Special Cup tracks and is making his way across the timesheet towards them, so they will be on the chopping block. Another small win was that his Jungle course time was his 32nd top-200 time, making the full timesheet top-200s, but there are still some weaknesses around the Special Cup and Joe will most likely focus on those next.

#307 Theo Bregegere's 34pt AF cut seems like a month of cuts, but he did submit twice during the week. And it's a big cut, almost taking him to the top-300. Where he had 5 Heroes in a sea of Experts last month, he now has 14 Heroes. Where he was barely Expert A after moving past Expert B, he is now Hero D. He also beat his best time, from 233rd to 201st, and raced many new scores ranked 200-300 range. Theo said that he will specifically focus on getting more Hero times, and has 18 left to attain.

#689 EisFanOff reported a 76pt cut, another big week in a row for a relatively recent player. They raced 25 improvements, showing no real signs of slowing down yet. Everything is still around Advanced C level, with 2 new Advanced As at the top end, and one single Expert victory (on DK Mountain) to open the door into new terrain. Maybe more Experts by next update.

Also active: #211 Douglas Javier Palma (approaching top-200), #227 Jacob Langone (returned after a year away), #460 Oliwia Tachyon (top-500 on Mario Circuit).

Trenton's run of 1'35"007 on Waluigi Stadium was a new 50Hz record to beat his own 1'35"07 from earlier this year. This score is 3rd place overall behind Andrew's 1'34"99 and Mike's 1'34"99. Despite starting with a different number, Trenton is a tiny 0.01s behind the overall record.

Movement

#7 Ricky Haitaian was the bigger winner this week because he passed #8 Rebecca C. He is now the USA No 4 player and has Xander G sitting 1pt ahead, so Ricky could realistically become No 3 within a few weeks. The gap to No 2 (David GP) is at 4 points and would require quite a bit more time. Anyway, Ricky found four cuts this week: 9th place in Waluigi 3lap, 8th in Desert 3lap, 6th in Jungle 3lap, and 12th in Mario Circuit. A few new top-10s there, and although the last one was not top-10, Ricky still elevated it by 7 spots and got a sub with a 1'26"99.

#46 Enzo Vusur moved ahead of ex-champ David S this week. He focused on Luigi Circuit, his second weakest track (after DK Mountain), and was happy to push it up to Myth level. This gave Enzo a 30/32 Myth tally with just the two Titans left on that blasted DK Mountain. Despite getting the Myth on Luigi, Enzo was not satisfied with his 67th place on the course time because it's twenty spots lower than his average, and he said he will grind it some more.

#165 Joe Consoli moved up 8 positions this week, passing the likes of Robert C, Jon P, and Max R. He updated his old Hero times to Titan level on Mario Circuit (with a sub-1'30!), Daisy Cruiser (with a sub-1'40!), Rainbow Road, and Wario Colosseum. The best of the lot was actually his Rainbow lap, which we improved from 59"9 (235th) to 58"8 (121st). It's his fourth best-ranked time, so Joe turned a laggard track into a legend track. He also slashes two seconds off his course time, but ended up with a salty 3'00"08 and missed the epic sub there by a few frames. Perhaps he will keep trying for it.

#219 Douglas Javier Palma reported a 15pt cut and looks like a good bet for overall top-200 some time during this month. He found big cuts on Mushroom Bridge, moving up from 250+ to 186th & 197th place on the course and lap, and earned his sixth and seventh Titan standards for his effort. Another highlight improvement was Waluigi Stadium, from 260th to 165th, although that was remained Hero level and he needs a bit more to dip down into the Titans. Douglas also skipped ahead to the final track and played Rainbow Road, once again since February, and further slashed his ~250 ranked times to top-200 level and got his first sub-minute lap. He became overall Hero B level and is steadily working his way through the Hero ranks.

#764 EisFanOff joined three weeks ago, ranked over 1000, and had a pretty solid 90pt cut this week. He improved all 32 times to gain 80 spots. He spent particular effort on his Intermediate standards and upgraded nine of them to reach 32/32 Advanced. His most likely location for a future first Expert time would be DK Mountain, where he raced his first (and currently only) Expert A standard earlier this week with a 1'59"7. Quite a big cut from his previous time of 2'04 on that track.

Also active: #55 Midnightial (up to 28/32 Myths), #463 Oliwia Tachyon (top-200 on Baby Park 7lap).
