Handheld Console Kart Racing Tournament

🏁 Handheld Console Kart Racing Tournament 🏁
Hosting a small, casual Mario Kart 8 Deluxe race — 8 racers, all skill levels, one champion.

🎟️ How to claim your spot
Send your best Cheep Cheep Beach time trial time to the group's discord. That's your entry and your qualifying seed — I'll use everyone's times to build two balanced groups so nobody's stuck in a group of death. Fastest times get bragging rights before we even start.
