And with that win, I have now achieved a 3-star rank for all cups in Mario Kart 7 and for my profile.

Phew! Thought I almost blew it again when I angled too sharply on the last turn of Rainbow Road and fell off but actually managed to get enough speed and stay in first with a racer just behind me. ...

I don't know who this Michael fella is that I streetpassed but those are some mindboggling stats to me.

Actual clear time after the final boss had me crack the 15 hour mark! Hooray, I'm slow!

Oh wow! This game also has the Aurora Borealis at this time of day at this time of year located entirely in the Hebra region! Never noticed them before since it's usually cloudy and snowy at night....

Hoo-rah!! Finally beat this darned archery camp challenge!

This is it. The reason why I was willing to double dip on a sale for this game (besides the fact I've given my Wii copy on a long term lone to my brother) and that is to play the new levels added h...

Finally!!!!! That took way too long.

Aaaaarrrghhhhhh!!!!!! .30 second too long. I'm never going to get this shiny gold medal, am I? Why'd it have to be such a razor thin margin.

In the factory, Kong is king!! (As long as there are no Marios around.)

Cranky Kong for Smash!

Woooo!! It's finally complete!

I can't help but wonder what does Hudson's head look like without his hair?

I spy, with my little eye, a possible shrine.

Time to start exploring that harsh Hebra region of the north.

One of the stand-out moments of DKCR is the giant octopus who seems to resent the Kong's passing through his territory. I don't know why this encounter feels so memorable compared to other events b...

Chibi-Robo's bringing home the bacon.

That's it! All 150cc cups now have 3 star victories. All that remains are a couple in Mirror Mode to complete.

Did it in 150cc and now did it in Mirror Mode. Only took 4 tries and very similar to the150cc win. There were 2 laps I didn't get first. The first lap in Piranha Plant Slide and the first in Wario'...

Wow! Now that was something. I got first place on every lap except the first lap of Maku Wuhu where I was still in 2nd by a fraction of a second trying to get to the front. And yet, I almost blew i...

Map is finally complete. The end is near!

Climbing my last tower. Running out of new Hyrule to explore.
