I'd like to say a huge thank you to Wargor and the active MKPC community for another great year of Mario Kart PC. I can't wait to see what 2026 has in store

I think it's better that Christmas Land 5 is playtested and more focused on gameplay than the puzzle, I like playing the game more than talking about the clues and what they could possibly mean on Discord (with each mistake resetting our progress)

The idea for this challenge is honestly really solid like it's a great theme, but I think the execution was a bit off. The clues weren't handled very well and the island looks very basic with not much going on compared to previous years unfortunately.

I made a deal with the group I solved it with to gatekeep the method used to find it and gatekeep the answer.

But I can say that this is way off holy

I've cleared all 24 challenges so I may as well return to validating. Sorry if your challenges are taking a while literally none of us were validating

(Advent Calendar)

No don't give up! It's very hard but still possible, only took like 2 days and a bunch of paragraphs of data and logic across ~1500 messages, but you can do it!

I mean I'm a challenge validator so it would make sense that I have a lot of challenge points

DAY 24 HAS BEEN SOLVED!!
24 out of 24 challenges beaten
3rd Winter Prodigy in a row

HUGE HUGE SPECIAL THANKS TO:
- Nodac
- Kernell

WE'VE CRACKED THE CODE AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Your chances of brute forcing it are about 1 in 1.4 million btw so good luck!

Edit: We are literally so close we just need to confirm a few extra things and we're done

We're basically stopping until Nudgy decides what to do with his challenge. Hopefully he responds soon.

We have a team of 4 (including myself) working on it and in part of our investigation we found out that Nudgy has been changing what the symbols mean so we don't have a clue what's going on

Everything you need to know in the description of the challenge and in the track itself. We're like pretty close to the answer

The wording of it is very confusing though.

After a second review of the challenge, this challenge is still going to be rejected.

I do understand why you want to make the ultra shortcut unclear, however having a subtle area or passage to a shortcut is not the same as having a shortcut the player has almost no way of finding it without checking any ghost data or ramming themselves into walls for a few minutes.

I was considering how there is a slight colour difference but also the entire track is full of these pixelated blurs as a low quality track would have. Your challenge requires a shortcut that can be considered a 'secret for speed', allowing you to publish a challenge to easily gain 20 points
(The difficulty was Impossible)
(Using a ghost nerfs it to Medium)

Unfortunately for those reasons, your challenge has been rejected. If you wish to submit this challenge again, please consider this feedback. Thank you.

You're cooked lmao

I rejected your challenge and given a reason as to why

I should actually reject your challenge because of it having shortcuts for speed which have absolutely no indication whatsoever. I don't know who actually validated that.

AND SO THE EXTREME/IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGES BEGIN

It's day 16 and I'm on 16 out of 25. Good pacing for Winter Prodigy

It's not impossible but I probably would've rated it Difficult, although I do understand why it is Medium.

Most of the challenge is just finding out what route to take, which would require trial and error

Who actually memorises all the timezones though?
