Mario Kart PC Forum - Advanced search

Cool, we have 5 tracks.

Friendly reminder there is still just under 4 weeks to go.

Cool, we have 2 courses so far. There is also plenty of time remaining for those who haven't submitted yet

Remember, you earn rewards either way, so it doesn't matter how talented you think you are.

Welcome to the official topic of the latest MKPC event, the Summer Track Building Contest! Here you will find all of the information regarding the event. EVERYONE is welcome to participate, no matter your skill or experience, and you earn rewards for your participation.




You will have to create a COMPLETE MODE circuit in the following theme:
Pirates (credits to Toad64)
and then submit your creation on this topic. Your creation will be judged by the jury at the end of the tournament. (which we are yet to confirm, but will likely be members from previous juries + Ahmad)

The creations must be ORIGINAL and made for this tournament (that means you can't post an existing track). You are also allowed to submit up to 3 creations, however you will only receive points for your best creation.

Tracks will receive a score out of 20 from each jury member, and to win you will need to have the highest score.




Gameplay

Layout (How interesting the layout is? Is there any shortcuts and/or alternate paths?) = /4
Design (Variety in sections and other minor design areas) = /3
Collisions (Walls, checkpoints, off-road etc) = /3
Obstacles (Goombas, Buses, Snow balls etc) = /2

Total for gameplay: /12

Decoration

Visual (How good the visuals are?) = /2
Theming (How creative is the theming?) = /2
Decoration (MKPC decors and the art itself decor as long as it fits the track) = /2
Music (Appropriate for the track) = /1
Background (MKPC background and the art itself background) = /1
Total for decoration : /8

Total for all: /20 (Criteria by Ahmad)




Every track will receive points based on their score. Additional rewards will be awarded to the top 3 creations.
1st Place : 2000 VS points + a Discord 'TBC Winner' Role + the track will be highlighted for 2 weeks
2nd Place : 1500 VS points
3rd Place : 1200 VS points

The tournament ends on the 21st of August. Any submissions after that will not be counted.

Feel free to follow this topic if you are interested. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on this topic or in DMs. Good Luck!

- Ultra mini turbos are not needed for mkpc. The game doesn't have the right scale for something like this, and the existing drifts are good enough. Plus, all records would have to be reset in TT mode. A lot of people have pretty much agreed that this shouldn't be a thing.

- Final lap music changes already exist (I think this is what you are talking about)

- People don't actually realise how highly requested new tracks are, and how much effort it actually takes to make them for the official game. Don't expect this to happen for a while unless Wargor gets help.

- Custom quick mode music
and different shapes of boost panels isn't necessary

- The arrows are a pretty cool idea, but may also be difficult to implement. It's also probably not too practical, so it is probably not gonna be a priority update

This idea was so old, I'm honestly surprised it came back.

I wasn't really a fan of the idea to begin with, if you really wanted to ask someone a question you could kinda ask them in PMs (although it would probably be a bit less interesting that way). I don't mind some proper questions being asked, but other than "How did you discover MKPC" (which is super cliché btw) the topics are generally flooded with either stupid questions or unrelated messages.

I would be lying if I said this trend hasn't gotten annoying, because we all know it's just an opportunity for forum grinding at this point. I don't think stopping the topics altogether is entirely fair, but if you are going to post something can you please ask proper questions.

And asking stuff like "do you fart" is only displaying your immaturity.

Riverside Park and Lakeside Park are the same but with different backgrounds, same goes for Boo Lake and Broken Pier.

It's actually been in the making for a while now, and I'm the one who's doing it. Unfortunately I'm unable to finish off the final 3 pieces as I'm prioritising school.

Also one of the pieces took me 3 and a half hours so it really demotivated me for a bit.

I'll try to give it to him soon

Ok time to write a lot...

Best remakes:

5. GBA Sunset Wilds on MKT
This remake got rid of what the original did wrong, which was being too long and too boring. Now each section is unique, and the cutdown of the layout was pretty good. It's only at 5 because the track itself was never spectacular.

4. GBA Cheese Land on MK8
Great remake conceptually and aesthetically, the only problem with the track is that it feels too bagging based given the 2 glider ramps at the end, otherwise this remake is awesome.

3. GBA Boo Lake on MKT
It got released not too long ago, but really improved on the original. The underwater section is really cool. I guess not every GBA remake gets destroyed anymore.

2. DS Shroom Ridge on MK8DX
Aside from the ugly mountain design (but I never really cared for the simple BCP aesthetics anyway, it's overhated), this remake is just stunning. This is my all time personal favourite remake by Nintendo because it just plays so well, and the music is perfection. I want to put this at #1, but it didn't change too much from the original.

1...

Tracks that could've made this list:
- Wii Grumble Volcano on MK8 (the original was already good tho)
- N64 Royal Raceway on MK8 (someone mentioned this earlier saying how the remake is bad because you can't go into the castle, that's completely player bias imo, the track itself plays amazingly and tbh the castle area didn't matter)
- GBA Bowser Castle 3 on MKWii (it didn't change much from the original, but also didn't need to since it was so fun anyway)
- SNES Donut Plains 3 on MK8 (compared to the original, this is amazing, but the track itself isn't too interesting)
- GBA Snow Land on MK8DX (cool revamp of the original)
There's a lot more, but this post is already long enough

Worst remakes:

5. GBA Cheep Cheep Island on MKT
Other than the one new section which is actually pretty cool, the rest of the track is really bland, especially the beginning. There's almost nothing happening in it, and a lot of the small islands got destroyed.

4. Wii Koopa Cape on MK7
The track itself isn't bad, but the remake removed what made the track climactic. The rapids section feels so slow and the underwater tunnel got destroyed. I don't really mind the glider ramp, but I think having it as an option would be better.

3. GBA Sky Garden on MK8DX/MKT
It's a terrible remake of the original track, having half the layout butchered. I personally don't think it's a terrible track, it's pretty fun on 200cc. But this list is for judging remakes, so I have to put it here even if I don't want to.

2. SNES Choco Island 2 on MKDS
It's a bad track, and this remake didn't do anything to fix the annoying gameplay.

1. GCN Baby Park on MKDS
This one is super obvious. The track itself isn't that great, but this takes the cake when it comes to boring tracks. There's literally nothing to keep it interesting.

Tracks that could've made this list:
- Maple Treeway on 3DS (same logic with Koopa Cape, it got rid of the net, but it wasn't bad enough to make the top 5)
- Literally any SNES Rainbow Road (at least it's good in 200cc on MK8 )
- Toad's Turnpike on MK8 (it didn't make it more interesting compared to the original other than the aesthetics, but it just suffers from Toad's Turnpike syndrome (i.e. the original was bad))

Remakes I think are interesting to discuss:
- Wii Coconut Mall on MK8DX/MKT (i know it's not like the original, but hating on the new aesthetic doesn't make the track bad. and people complain about the escalators being different, but disregard the fact that it was designed for newer players too)
- SNES Mario Circuit 3 on MK8DX (people say it's the worst in the BCP so far, but we dodged a bullet since we got a better SNES track)


I've tried to keep bias out of this list, which is probably evident in some decisions. Tell me what you think

I'm just gonna say everything in one post:

1. Just because there is already another topic about update ideas doesn't mean it needs to be used. Chances are it would be revived, and it's not like the intention of this topic was to spam anyway. I wouldn't necessarily call it useless.

2. MK64 tracks have been requested many times as you can already imagine. What I don't think most of the community realises is that it's not as easy as just taking an image and programming it, Wargor has to ensure that the image is high quality too (which would take a looong time). Whilst MK64 is 3D, it's really easy to make flat versions since the tracks never really had much terrain changes. However, adding these tracks won't come any time soon. Same logic applies to new arenas.

3. We don't really need new characters, we already have the community ones. Maybe they won't have the same feel, but this wouldn't be a priority update (also it's not like anyone uses characters other than Daisy). Also the babies are a straight no.

4. 200cc Grand Prix would be cool (but Blue Shroom Cup )


It's also important to note that Wargor is basically the only developer of the game, and he has a life outside of MKPC too. I don't think it's fair to pressure him to release new updates frequently (not that you were demanding anything but you get my point).

Thank you both

btw I'm not supposed to be admin lmao, the site thinks I am (probably because it combined mod and even host roles). Otherwise I'm just mod

People still play with music?

Anyways it's not really a big issue, there are many more annoying ways to show laziness when it comes to track building, having the song as SNES Mario Circuit is at the bottom of that list.

Topic locked for obvious reasons (don't topic revive we'll eject you)

You don't have to be on the site for all of 2022, you can just pick the tracks that you know from this year that appeal to you

If you want, you could also search for a bit

Thats ok, I will have a look at the responses anyway.

Edit: Most of the tracks in the responses aren't even from 2022 anyway, so you're not alone

Hello everyone!

For the first time in MKPC, we will be announcing a list of the annual Top 10 creations as voted by the community! Given the increase in quality of fanmade courses, it is only appropriate for the community to decide which ones they think are the best. Hopefully this can also inspire more people to create their own tracks in the future.

If successful, this idea will most likely continue in the future.
To send your vote, submit your favourite courses from 2022 in the Google Form below ⬇️
(more details in the form)
https://forms.gle/stLtpgeeNdWJqbTL6
I can't wait for the results to come in

Also please no troll votes...

Have a good day

For me it would have to be either Koopa Cape or Maple Treeway (Wii versions ofc), leaning towards Koopa Cape.

Also Waluigi Pinball is nowhere near the best track in all of Mariokart, probably barely top 20 for me.

That's right, religion is considered a sensitive topic along with several other things, and mkpc isn't the place to talk about it considering how young most of the people are.

Even places like Discord which generally has older and more mature people tends to avoid sensitive discussions altogether.

I'm going to lock the topic just in case of a dispute, not because i dont trust anyone but because some random is gonna eventually say something offensive and start an argument.

(Btw the topic itself seems to be along the lines of forum grinding, please don't spam for the sake of it)

How do you spell Roca Picuda?

When Pirate Ship Roca Picuda?
