Knowledge of MKPC #5: Meet Kinsley_
Welcome back to Knowledge of MKPC! This time we talked with a newer member who joined in 2026 and has quickly fallen in love with the game’s most famous technique, the reverse drift: Kinsley_. Here’s his story.
A tip from a friend at school
Kinsley_ discovered MKPC in March 2026, when a friend at his school played it and told him about it.
His start wasn’t straight-line, though. He logged out of the site on March 15, 2026 because he forgot about it. Then he came back on May 23, 2026, found it fun, and this time he stayed.
Why he stayed
Two things kept him hooked: the online mode and the time trials. He also enjoys the forum, where he likes chatting with other members.
The reverse drift moment
His first memorable moment on MKPC came in early July 2026, when he learned how to reverse drift. It’s the technique that top MKPC players use, even though he says he isn’t a top player himself.
Before that, he barely knew how to do it and stuck with snaking, which he found easier for some reason. The player who taught him was WorldRecord, and he credits him as the reason he can still reverse drift today. For Kinsley_, it’s like riding a bike: he can remember it even after a week away from the game.
The story behind the name
There isn’t much of one, he says. Kinsley_ is a username he often uses in video games, and it stuck with him 4 or 5 years ago. The underscore is there only because “Kinsley” was already taken, so he went with “Kinsley_”. He has always thought the name just sounded nice.
The hardest technique
The most difficult technique he’s ever mastered is, once again, the reverse drift. WorldRecord had been trying to help him learn it for a while, and for a long time it just didn’t click. When it finally did, it felt “so cool.” It felt even cooler once he got good enough to compete at a higher level.
The toughest opponent
His toughest opponent online is Nodac64. In his words, Nodac64 basically knows everything about the game and is a Grandmaster in Lounge, even though Kinsley_ doesn’t play Lounge himself. He’s also very good with items and reverse drifts very fast, and he beats Kinsley_ almost every race.
Practice routine
When he wants to improve, he practices in time trials. They help him get better lines, which are the paths you drive on the track. Good lines mean taking turns sharp, using the best shortcuts, and reverse drifting well, and time trials help him with all of that. He also hopes to set good time trial records of his own one day.
Records he’s chasing
He isn’t chasing a particular record right now. At one point, though, he thought he could take the 200cc world record on Donut Plains 3. It took him hours and he made a lot of progress, but he didn’t beat it, because other players had already gone after it with excellent lines to get the fastest time possible.
Solo or against others?
He prefers playing against real people. It’s the main reason he enjoys MKPC’s online races so much: they bring unpredictability that you just don’t get when playing alone against CPUs. Real players know how to reverse drift and use items like real people do, which gives him real competition and makes each race more fun.
Final thoughts
Kinsley_ is proof that you don’t need years on the game to find your place in MKPC. A few months, a helpful teacher like WorldRecord, and one technique finally mastered were enough to turn a forgotten site into a favorite. And it all started with a friend at school saying, “You should try this.”
A big thank you to Kinsley_ for his time and his thoughtful answers, and for being willing to answer even more if needed!

Knowledge of MKPC #6: Meet ambersillygal
Welcome back to Knowledge of MKPC! This time we talked with a member who has seen the community change over several years and who loves building tracks: ambersillygal. Here’s her story.
Discovered through a video
Amber found MKPC around 2022, thanks to a video by MarioPower555, a custom track showcase. One of the tracks in it was a Quick Mode recreation of London Loop 1, and it got her curious enough to search for the game herself.
Why she stayed: the track-building tools
What made her stick around was the set of tools for making custom tracks quickly and efficiently. One of her first projects was ChocoM1lk’s Ultimate Nitro CTGP. Back then, her username was chocom1lk, though she admits she doesn’t know why she chose it.
Her first memorable moment
Her first memorable moment on MKPC was being noticed by some semi-popular members at the time, including invu and acria. She’s pretty sure they left ratings on a Complete Mode track she made called Paratroopa Circuit 3, which has since been deleted.
The story behind the name
Her current username is a mix of three things:
“amber”, which is her name.
“silly”, which is how she’d describe herself sometimes.
“gal”, another word for girl.
The community, then and now
Asked what she thinks of the community, she said it felt more chill back then. There were more track building competitions hosted, the community felt more tightly knit, and everyone was hyped for each other’s projects.
Today, she still feels it’s relatively the same, though less tightly knit and more all over the place. The members are still very nice, but she honestly prefers the 2022-2023 community.
Shout-outs
To close the interview, she wanted to mention three friends who have been huge inspirations to her throughout her time on MKPC: Jade, Redpikmin95 and Ashleigh/Hazel.
Final thoughts
Amber has had a “good and memorable history” on MKPC, so good that she sometimes wishes she could experience being new again. Her story is a nice reminder of how a single showcase video, a few friendly ratings and a set of great track-building tools can turn into years on the same site, and of how much the little moments with the community can matter.
A big thank you to ambersillygal for her time and her honest answers!
