Oh boy... after watching some playthroughs and doing research, I realized that there are A TON of issues with the maps, and in the case of a few courses, even the gameplay. Let's start with the DK Cup. Not only am I having the players go in the wrong direction, but the starting line is in the completely wrong place. And since I colored it based on the mariowiki.com description, I'm gonna have to remake it from scratch. Less important issues include missing speed boosts in Namco Circuit, plus a dislocated glide ramp in both that course and Sky Arena, some miscolorings, and sloppiness. (While you should at most times expect sloppiness from me, compare my Paint 3D maps with the official maps from the DLC cups, and you'll notice a huge difference in how smooth/rough they are.) I'm not saying I will do this, but I may have to remake the game. If I do decide to do this, I'll keep the original version up as the Classic Edition, and call the new one the Clean Edition.
Another thing I'd like to mention is that Namco is hosting an item campaign in MKAGPDX, meaning they haven't completely abandoned the game yet. While It's highly unlikely they will add new characters and courses, it's far from impossible. If anyone would like to bring me back down to Earth, now is your chance to do so. I might need it. XD

Okay, so maybe I'm not finished quite yet. I had a dream last night that Mario Kart Arcade GP DX got its first major update in 1 1/2 years: The... Summer's Cup? Don't question dream logic, okay? Despite its already-odd name, the course icon was a Rainbow Yoshi, (to add to the weirdness, he forgot to put his shoes on at the photoshoot,) and the theme was a desert. I hardly thought anything of the strange inclusions, and when I woke up, it was hard to believe it wasn't real, so I thought to myself, "Why not make a desert-themed Yoshi Cup for Arcade PC?"

So about the Booster Pass...
I really wanted to finish it. I really did. But I couldn't find a way to make new maps that were interesting, while still staying within the Mario Kart Arcade limits. (Though I broke some rules when making the Waluigi courses.) I've also noticed that the multicup's popularity is slowly dying out. For those of you wondering what the other waves would've been... I actually forgot. I know the second wave would've had Birdo and the Yoshi Cup, but that's about it. I also wanted to add a Wario Cup and a Rainbow Cup, but I don't remember the characters that would've gone with them.
I'm moving on from this multicup, and I'm instead planning a spin-off/sequel. I have two ideas for it: the first one is a remake of Arcade GP 2. The second one is turning all 20 course maps into entirely new courses, similar to what DX did to ten of them at launch.

I just created some more online links that support eight racers, and up to six players.

ORIGINAL CONTENT IS FINALLY COMING!
Sometime around May/June (hopefully,) Mario Kart Arcade GP PC will be updated to Revision 3.00, to mark the start of the Mario Kart Arcade GP PC Booster Pass.

Over the span of four updates, the game will receive eight new courses, and five new characters, meaning support for the game will end with 22 courses and 24 characters. The courses will obviously be playable from the start, but each character will have to be unlocked via a special challenge, which will replace the pointless challenges that were originally meant to be used to unlock Bowser Jr, Waluigi, and Wario. The first wave will include the Waluigi Cup, and one mystery character. When will it be released? As soon as the challenge is approved by the moderators.

Hello, everyone. Since Mirror Mode was recently added, I will soon be updating Mario Kart Arcade GP PC to Revision 2.00, where B Variants for all courses return. A few will stay the same, while others will be brand new, since I'm not sure anybody liked the wind mechanic in the Mario courses. I also realized that I forgot to add King Boo, so I will also include him in that update, as well as a possible King Boo Cup.

I know. That's why I'm sending out invites. And besides, I'll probably close applications once I'm at 8.

Wanna put your racing skills to the test? Wanna compete against real people? Feel like celebrating Mar10 Day, but don't know how? Look no further than the Mario Kart Arcade GP PC Superstars Tournament! 8-16 people will compete against each other in 4 teams, hoping to win bragging rights. Signups are open now, and I promise that this time, I won't cancel the tournament due to lack of interest. I might even send invitations to some of the most skilled players. But for now, feel free to invite your friends to compete.

If you ever wanna play with me (or each other) online, I made a custom room.

If I ever make a sequel to this game when I'm done with MKVL (Mario Kart Victory Lap) how should I handle it? Should I remake the original tracks, or make new ones? Should I make them basic and simple, or give them more obstacles like traditional Mario Kart games? There's a poll down below. This won't determine my final decision, since I might not even make a sequel, but it will give me an idea of what the fans want.

And in case you were wondering, first place went to Lely (Bananan Labyrinth) and Angel_121 (DK Jungle)

First two people to react with either :gamba: or :koopa: will get a prerelease link to Bananan Labyrinth or DK Jungle, respectively. The buttons are down below.

In five days, the final update will arrive. This will add Daisy, Lakitu, and the Donkey Kong Cup. If I'm not mistaking, that's all the content that's in the original DX game until now. If I do add more content, it won't be a lot. I know this is hard, but I'm focusing more on Mario Kart Victory Lap, and trust me, it will be worth it. Have fun.

TELL ME RIGHT NOW HOW YOU FOUND THESE!

What the... HOW? I thought they would be up for a month.

After releasing Revision 1.20, I'm already preparing for Revision 1.30, where I'll add Daisy, Lakitu, and the Donkey Kong Cup. The music files still aren't ripped yet, and the previous file links are expired, so I need somebody to upload this to YouTube.

Again, this was made in BeepBox, not from the original game.

After I add all the remaining content for MKAGPDX, which new character(s) should I add?
https://strawpoll.com/ovsfd9xdz
I threw in some Mario Kart classics, as well as several oddballs since there's no way Nintendo will add them in themselves.
I'll also add a poll for courses later.
Note: Just because a character gets the most votes doesn't guarantee that I'll add them in.

Since nobody's interested in the tournament, I'm not going to hold it. Also, in two weeks, I'll release Revision 1.20, with Baby Mario, Baby Peach, and the Pac-Man Cup.

What you see in the above footage is not final. There are still a few things I need to add.
Also, yes. I did base the last couple of updates on the American version of MKAGPDX. No, I will not abandon the game after this update. I still have a lot planned.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
I have a feeling we're gonna be doing some traveling tomorrow, so I'm releasing the update today!
In addition, I am starting a new contest. It's a bracket-style competition where 6-to-8 people will split into two teams: Team Mario, and Team Peach. Sign-ups are open. Here are some more details on the competition:
Everyone will be given a number based on what order they sign up in. That number will determine their team.
Each round will have 3-5 pre-selected courses, meaning one round could have Peach Castle, Splash Circuit, and Bon Dance Street, while another round could have Kingdom Way, Tropical Coast, Omastsuri Circuit, Sky Arena, and Bowser's Castle.
Team members will compete against each other until there is one person left from each team.

In 9 days, I am sharing Mario Kart Arcade GP PC's first update, Revision 1.10, featuring Rosalina, Metal Mario, and Mirror Mode replacing B variants.

P.S. A few hours ago, I read something on how the update from last year was the very last update for the Japanese version of MKAGPDX. While sad that the game never lived up to its promise of 30 courses and 20 characters, at least I have all the time I need to catch up now.
