== Youtube Channels ==
He created his main youtube channel Carlos85 on Oct 9, 2009 and began streaming from October 14th, 2019. He usually streams twice a week. His streams start from 9:00pm CET to around 10:30 am CET. His first couple of streams were in German as all of his viewers were German however he soon gained a lot of English speaking viewers therefore he decided to stream in English from then on. Carlos has two secondary youtube channels. They are called Carlos85 Clash, and Pokelos. Carlos85 Clash contain a quick 2 minute trailer that allows one to get a grasp on what that channel has to offer. He collects Pokémon trading cards in german on his Pokelos channel. He would like to play Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, however isn't able to thus far. He has uploaded let's play videos of Super Mario Odyssey (story mode) and Mario Golf: Super Rush (adventure mode). He would like to 100% Super Mario Odyssey and play Mario Golf: Super Rush online on stream however isn't able to thus far. Reason as to why is because of time constraints as he likes to spend quality time with his family. Even though he lives in Berlin, he sets his youtube channel location to the United States hoping to gain more viewers. Before Carlos ends his stream, he always raids a youtuber. He only raid youtubers who are streaming with facecam, in english and are playing a game he likes i.e. Nintendo games. 
== Mario Kart Tour ==
In Mario Kart Tour, he plays on two different accounts, whale account, and F2P account. His mother (online Persona Blue Thunder) mainly plays his gold pass account therefore he only plays his gold pass account if it needs help in ranked cup. He stays in touch with other Mario Kart Tour youtubers e.g. Studfit, Kart Life, Zephiel810 and Mankalor. He also stays in touch with a few German streamers e.g. Nerdcrime. An original character that he wanted to see desperately in Mario Kart Tour is Petey Piranha. His favourite music in Mario Kart Tour is DK Pass. Some of his most favorite tracks to grind for score in Mario Kart Tour are DK Pass T, Rainbow Road T (3DS), Airship Fortress T and Rock Rock Mountain. Some of his least favourite tracks to grind for score in Mario Kart Tour are Mario Circuit 1, Kalimari Desert 2, Donut Plains 1 and DK Summit. During Sydney Tour (April–May 2021), Carlos won the tour against Zephiel810 who is no stranger to all cup ranking as he has won most of the tours. The grind for Carlos wasn't easy as Zephiel810 had a better loadout at that time. His hard work and dedication in grinding those tracks alongside that epic 16 hour stream on the last day of the tour is what give him the edge to win the Sydney Tour. His favourite driver in Mario Kart Tour is Meoswer with Bowser Santa being a close second. He has spent at least 40K Euros on the game.
== DK Summit ==
One of his worst nightmares in Mario Kart Tour was playing DK Summit with King Bob-Omb and the Giga Bomb as his special skill for his whale account ranked cup. This is because he wanted to win the ranked cup and unfortunately King Bob-Omb was his highest level driver at that time and he was not willing to spend high-end tickets on other drivers that were top shelf for DK Summit. He hated the track as he found it incredibly hard to do a non-stop combo and sometimes felt that he lost the combo due to the stupid half-pipe physics. After playing the track multiple times, Carlos managed to secure first place in ranked cup and felt he could raise his score even more but did not again tried as King Bob-Omb's Giga Bomb and its frenzy was absolutely trash but more so than ever after DK Summit's debut. This is why whenever Carlos decides to go for all-cup ranking for sometimes top 1000 (on rare occasions top 1) he tries to avoid having to race this track to the best of his ability. One can see how much hate he has for this track here: DK SUMMIT - 40.640 | 176 ACTIONS (Frenzy: Giga Bob-Omb, coin, green shell).
