Since there is someone on my flist that has a tendency to post anything she finds Mario related, I was wondering this morning if I had passed along the following. Jellyfish did a song re: Mario, et al and then someone else made a snazzy video to go along with it...

Last night I finally completed all the 50, 100, and 150 with a star or more ranking to unlock Dry Bowser and the big jet-car thing. Now to bust some ass and pull up the Mirror Cups to star. I think I have 4 of them up at star already.

I placed first in the Grand Prix for 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc. I have a minimum of a star on all the 50 and 100cc (still three shy of star on the 150cc). I reached the podium on two of the Mirror grand prix so far.

BUT...
1. I'm stuck around 5000 points when I race online. Some days I have my ass handed to me and others I do reasonably well.

2. I lack the talent to perform tricks on jumps. Calvin is pretty successful, but I flip and turn my wheel about with nothing to show for it other than some awkward steering upon landing.
