SMK official Japanese guide SMK Japanese mini-guide Monopoly Nintendo Collector's Edition
Our 2013 partner Game Them All is here again too, with a boxed Super Famicom Edition of SMK's legendary elder brother F-Zero.

As usual, FFSMK will also provide bronze, silver and gold designed medals for the 4 modes podiums and three cups for the overall top 3. Many more other prizes like retro video games, DVDs, goodies, etc. will be on their way to La Suze this summer! ;-)

CDM 2014 dates and location are known, and subscriptions are open!

FFSMK is pleased to announce the subscriptions for the 2014 edition of the Super Mario Kart World Championship are open !

After an excellent and highly praised 2013 edition, we have to thank the current World Champion Florent Lecoanet (Neo) who took the best decision possible — i.e , hosting CDM (Championnat du Monde, French for "World Championship") again in La Suze-sur-Sarthe (France, 20 kms from Le Mans, Sarthe), where it will be held from August 12th to 17th, 2014.

You can find all the useful information and details about the way to reach La Suze on the "How to come ?" page, thanks to a satellite view of the village, to help you figuring out the location of the train station, the venue, the hotel and camping. Like in 2013, the subscription fees include the camping ones, as long as you bring your own tent (or manage to share one with another player who can bring one), but FFSMK cannot take responsibility for hotel room bookings.

Of course, FFSMK wants to thank the town of La Suze for trusting us once more for CDM organization, and Neo for all the administrative work he performed to make things official so early in the year!

The definitive agenda is still to set up, especially when it comes to the groupstage system, but we can already announce Time Trial will open the CDM as usual on Tuesday 12, the championship ending on Friday 16 with the fourth and final mode. You can check out the current temporary agenda anyway, which is very close to what will be officialized afterwards, on the detailed page dedicated to the CDM agenda.

Alongside to the website evolution, a new automated subscription form is available for the potential participants : you will not have to fill in a file then send it by email anymore — only the parental authorization (for people under 18) requires to be downloaded, signed and sent. Once FFSMK receives your payment, your subscription will be validated! You can fill the form and send your payment until June 30, beyond this date the fees will be slightly higher (see conditions in the subscription form page), just to keep people aware how important it is for FFSMK to get the most possible payments and attendance details early.

Of course, as usual, many prizes from our historical partners will be provided, in addition to the usual trophies. So stay tuned: many details will come very soon about all those prizes on the dedicated page!

Like in 2013, those who will not be able to move to La Suze and/or attend CDM will have the possibility to watch it live thanks to the event livestream on twitch.

Who will succeed to Guillaume Leviach (Mario86) (Time Trial), to the Briton Sami Cetin (Grand Prix 150cc), to Harold Christensen (Battle Mode) and most of all, to Florent Lecoanet (Neo) (Match Race), 2013 World Champion and main host of this new edition?

Without any doubt, this 13th edition of the SMK championships will make the best players in the world fight very hard once again, but we're always hoping to see everyone attending, especially newcomers, whatever their SMK level is! As we've been telling for years to all the potential new players: being afraid of not having the skills enough for such an event is definitely an excuse for not coming that FFSMK cannot just accept... ;-)

So, please do not hesitate and go on, by attending Super Mario Kart World Championships too! After all, maybe you will be one of those legendary surprises competitions are made of...

For any question about CDM organization or other information you could request, feel free to contact us by mail or on the social networks.

Super Mario Kart Championship 2013 is over!

The 12th edition of the Super Mario Kart championships is over, and Florent Lecoanet (Neo) managed to take the crown away from Sami Cetin after an intense 4-day battle where both players hit gold, silver and bronze medals in the regular racing modes (Time Trial, Grand Prix 150cc and Match Race).This impressive and permanent fight also involved Julien Holmière (ScouB) (vice-world champion in Battle Mode and Match Race) but also Guillaume Leviach (Mario86), president of FFSMK who reached gold in Time Trial and bronze in GP 150cc, or the legend Harold Christensen, first player to win three gold medals in Battle Mode.FFSMK would like to thank Geoffrey Label (Geo), who got bronze in Battle and took care of this 2013 edition organization, and the town of La Suze-sur-Sarthe who provided us a great venue where the championship could be livestreamed for the first time on twitch.As an addition to a wonderful championship, we're also proud to introduce you to a brand new and more complete website, entirely designed by ScouB who worked hard for the community there. I let you browse all the new categories and enjoy what has been made — it's definitely worth it!While discovering the new site map and configuration, you can check out the complete and detailed CDM results, but also feel the championship atmosphere again by reading the CDM summary (in French, translation coming soon...) written by Mario86. You can also follow all the discussions about CDM and react on the community message board!

In the end, FFSMK would like to thank and congratulate everyone who attended at least one of the four CDM modes, and we hope to see all of you in next summer for the 2014 edition whose date and location will be announced very soon.
