(Let me explain this: No, I'll still keep up with the community - Just a bit more background as well as what I felt would be a nice way to mention some of the people I've gotten to know. I cannot even begin to recall how many times I was asked for my age!)
(Still an indefinite hiatus, but I'm working with other authors to update older courses)

SuperMario64DS is a ''(Now retired)'' member of the Mario Kart Wii hacking community whom often attempted to create a wide variety of unique ports, as well as original tracks from time to time.

I first discovered the existence of custom tracks in 2011 after coming across a video of [[MKDasher]]'s port of ''[[GCN Daisy Cruiser]]''. Several weeks later, I 'hacked' my Wii via '''BatHax'''.

'''As of April 2017, I am no longer actively participating in this community.'''
  
That March, I signed for [[MarioKartWii.com]], then considered the 'hub' for custom tracks. At the time, the release of [[CTools]] was literally days away and [[Custom Mario Kart]] had just opened - I arrived at literally the most convenient time possible.

While this is an indefinite/likely non-returnable hiatus, I am currently collaborating with another author to update my release library.
  
After several 'hiccups' of notable proportions, [[Jungle Island]] was finally released the very next year. I later went on to create much more sucessful tracks such as [[DS Shroom Ridge]], and, most notably, [[GP Mario Beach]].

A remake using advanced modeling tools neared cosmetic completion, but did not make it to the track building portion of production. This was due to the higher standard set for Mode 7 track remakes introduced in [[Mario Kart 8]].
  
A track themed after '''Tropical Resort''' from ''Sonic Colours'' was also in progress, but was dropped in favour of [[GP Mario Beach]]. Practically since I first joined the community, I had wished to make a custom track out of '''Bianco Hills''' from ''Super Mario Sunshine'' - Development on such a project did begin, but did not continue. Similarly, several attempts to make a track out of '''Delfino Plaza''' also failed.

Additionally, a port of the character '''Blinky''' from [[Mario Kart Arcade GP]] had begun development and had been fully finalized.

* '''N64 Luigi Raceway''' - A collaboration with [[Captain Kwark]], who vanished from the community without word. In development until [[ZillaSpaz]] released his version.
 
* '''GBA Yoshi Desert''' - Began development alongside [[GBA Snow Land]], but didn't make much progress.
