Thomas Bolton

Thomas Bolton is the current world champion in Mario Kart DS, an active forum poster (going by the name "TB1"), a member of the French MKDS site, and a big contributer of videos.

Thomas joined the MKDS Players' Page at the end of May 2006. He had already been playing for awhile and competing on the French site, so he was already good enough to join the Players' Page with a rank of 5th. For about 2 weeks he improved slowly, but then he suddenly shot straight from 5th to 1st to claim the world champion title in only about 3 days. According to Michael Fried, this sudden extremely fast improvement happened because that was exactly when Thomas started praying to the kart gods. Since then, Thomas has built up a big lead in both AF and WR tally, and currently holds 25 WRs.

Thomas is one of the best providers of videos, and is always glad to share his strategies with people. Thomas has provided many more of the fastest available live videos than anyone else.

In addition to his TB1 personality, he also has an alter ego known as TB2, who is supposedly even more skilled than TB1. There are rumors of a TB3 and TB4 who have godlike MKDS skills and are impossible to beat online, but this hasn't been confirmed yet since no one has ever met either of them. According to the rumor, you have to beat TB2 in a match first before being allowed to meet TB3. It's still a big mystery what all these TBs stand for. He claims they're his inititials but really we know better than that. They're probably just different isotopes of terbium.
