Matt Ellis (aka karterfreak) plays all 7 Mario Kart games, and is also an active member of the forum. His best Mario Kart game is Mario Kart Super Circuit, where he was highest ranked 5'th in the world with several world records, and is currently ranked 15th in the world and holds dual world records for RKB1 5lap and flap.

Matt has helped out the Mario Kart community in various ways. He did some updating for the MKDS site, updated rivalries for the MKDS site, wrote a few news articles for MKSC, and did some testing in MKSC to determine some stats related to speed and acceleration.

Matt hasn't been too active in the community as of late. He spent most of the year 2009/2010 creating a Super Mario Kart ROMhack called Super Mario Kart: Pro Edition, which can be found at http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/610/. Other than that, he is at the current time retired from Mario Kart other than playing Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 online.

Matt's current plans are to attend the Virginia Kart Meet in 2012, and to start competing in MK64 again before he gets the new Mario Kart on the 3DS. He is currently in second year of a Game Development course at Humber College in Toronto. His future goals are to become an Indie game developer, and he has already started development of his first game, Element Blue, aimed towards PC and Xbox 360 users.
