Sorry I’ve not been on as much, been quite busy so not had much chance to contribute as much as I’d wanted.
Ah, well I have been having a few goes at certain tracks. I’ll take some screen pics and post them up soon. It’s a damn good game, you know it’s hard to believe it’s better then all the other MK’s but quite often I find myself thinking that.

What is PAL/NTSC?
PAL and NTSC are different TV standards. NTSC is used in Japan, and the majority of North and South America. There are also a few other smaller countries that use it. PAL is mainly used in Europe and Australia. NTSC TVs operate at 30fps (60Hz, 60 frames interlaced), while PAL run at 25fps (50Hz). To satisfy the frame output requirement of these standards, consoles between NTSC and PAL regions run some games at different speeds. Some games are adjusted, but not all. Super Mario Kart is not one of them. PAL runs a few seconds slower on most races. Some slight notable differences are that the off-road terrain such as grass, sand and water slows the kart down more on the PAL version. Such important differences induce separate charts, and scores between the two versions are incomparable.
Example~~~
Unfortunately I only have the PAL version of SMK, wish I’d kept my sfc cart of it now instead of giving it away but it does seem unlikely I will be challenging anyone’s time given that I’m at a time disadvantage. Still for the sake of it here are my times for a few tracks.

Not yet. All the reviews I’ve read are sterling though. I’ll get it eventually, but honestly I haven’t really played my Mario Kart Wii game a whole lot. I gotta give that one some more playing time.

I figured I’d throw my Rainbow Road time in here, in case anybody feels like taking a crack at it. It is by no means a world record, but I worked pretty hard at it:
Track time: 1’40″81 Best lap: 0’19″79
With Koopa, natch.
