A new edition of the Super Mario Kart Championships has been achieved, and in 2016 we got the chance to see the rising of our new world champion: Julien "Scoub" Holmière! As he won the Match Race in an epic final game, he kicks out the six times crowned world champion, Florent "Neo" Lecoanet, who still fought hard to defend his title, winning the Time Trial and the Grand Prix 150cc! Geoffrey "Geo" L., who won the Battle Mode in an incredible finish (last balloon from the last round!), reaches the 3rd overal place and completes this year's podium. The British champion Sami Cetin gets the 4th place, winning the bronze medal in Grand Prix 150cc. Applauses also go to Harold Christensen, who has proved once more that he is and will stay the parigo master with his 5th place in the overal top, and a silver medal in Match Race!
FFSMK wants to say very special thanks to all the Start to play organizers and volunteers for their invaluable help during this edition and also to their sponsors! Huge thanks also go to Patrick Wessels (Legend) who hosted the streaming the whole week, Daniel Guemy (FFVIMan) who has as usual contributed with his irreplaceable tech support, and Sophie "Jarmou" Jarmouni for displaying and animating the championship on stage ( *drops the mic * ).
You already can check the complete and detailed CDM results.
In the end, we want to thank Nintendo France, Hachette Edition, Mario Museum, SMK Players Site, the Plug and Play Team, and every single person who brought gifts, allowing everyone to win a quality prize. We are already bursting with impatience summer 2017 and the 16th Edition of SMK Championships. We'll let you know about the calendar and venue as soon as possible...
Thanks again to everyone who made this edition so unique, competing or just watching it, see you next year!
