This group is for any and all who wish to carry the torch and continue to pass time playing THE greatest Nintendo karting game ever made. We will mostly battle, because racing is highly subjective and not nearly as much fun. Be it Blockfort, the Scrape, or Double Deck (who really plays the donut?), shells will drop and balloons will pop. Bananas will be plopped on faces, mid powerslide, from the top shelf, followed by an upside-down box on your nose. 4 player is fun, but it's just too slow, so 3 …

Every game developer from the solo indie to the mammoth public company needs more players, to keep those players, and to monetize those players. There are literally hundreds of companies that are founded to help developers address these challenges in one way or another. So why is it still so hard? I believe it's an education problem, and I've founded this gr …
