As we've already mentioned several times before until we're blue in the face, we helped Nintendo UK host the official UK Mario Kart 8 Championships at this year's EGX.
During the four days we held daily competitions so attendees could show off their skills, as well as two special races which featured 24 of the UK's most popular YouTubers. However, before we share those events with you, we thought you'd like to see conclusive proof of which indie developer is the best at the popular Wii U racer.
Taking part were:
- Robin Meijer - Ronimo Games
- Kayode Shonibare-Lewis - KnapNok Games
- Hamish Lockwood - Curve Studios
- Martin Sauter - Shin'en Multimedia
- Henning Steinbock - Threaks
- Sean Velasco - Yacht Club Games
The more eagle-eyed amongst you may notice that Martin morphs into our very own Mark Green halfway through the video — sadly he was called away for an interview and couldn't complete the challenge. Not that it mattered, as Curve's Hamish was the ultimate victor, and walked away with a very swanky Mario Kart Cup, while the runners-up — Henning, Robin and Sean — all received slightly smaller trophies for their heroic efforts.
So there you have it — Curve Digital is officially the best indie developer at Mario Kart 8. You heard it here first!

I actually won a Mario Kart tournament on the weekend at my local Streetpass group, got a £20 eShop voucher for it!
This is so nice. It's a shame Martin couldn't finish the race
@PieEater163 nice one man, well done! What you gonna spend it on .....the dlc perhaps?
Knapnok Games, I knew that name was familiar, and that's because of Affordable Space Adventures!
@ULTRA-64 Thanks, I did spend some of it on the DLC, can't wait for it! Don't know what I going to use the rest of it for, I'll probably get some virtual console game with it or maybe the Wii Sports Club Baseball because I did enjoy the free trial of it.
@PieEater163 One of the games I've most enjoyed from the e shop was castlestorm, I'd recommend that if your really stuck on what to buy?
