People should play the game more (and get off the forum grind) because there are a lot of really cool tracks that people put a ton of effort into. Problem is that a lot of these go unnoticed or don't really get the attention they deserve, especially for newer creators. Whilst this isn't really true for the list I'm about to present, the purpose is to showcase some of the amazing work that goes into CTs, and hopefully encourage or inspire people to play the game and even create some of their own courses. Keep in mind this list is obviously going to be my opinion simply due to the nature of it, and these may not actually be the objective top 5 tracks on the site (nonetheless they're still pretty damn good).

Few rules: I'm not going to put retro tracks here since I want to show the imagination behind these original creations. I'm also not allowed to pick my own track since that would be biased.

The list is in no particular order:
------------------------------------------

MK5O Dragon's Fortress by Fways / @wqterbt
I'm sure a lot of people have already seen this track from CT Project, and if you haven't this is an indication you definitely do not play the game. There's a reason most people put this track in S tier when making tier lists, and I've even said to Fways that this could even be top 5 amongst official MK games if this was a real track. The track has a lot of variation and pretty much everything you could possibly ask for. Having 5/5 from only 15 rates is pretty criminal though, so hurry up and boost the ratings if you haven't already so newer players can find this easily.

STK2 Port Shy Guy by @Starl-
Currently the 5th highest rated circuit on the site with 4.9/5 from 70 rates and for very good reason. The track was made for the Summer TBC in 2022 and most people agreed the track deserved to win with an almost perfect 20/20. The layout is interesting, the aesthetics are really nice, and the track aged phenomenally. Starl- is a really talented creator and you can see exactly why. Saying this track is 'bad' just means your opinion is ass.

RHGP2 Horror Land by @RHcks
Staying with TBC winning tracks, Horror Land won the Autumn 2023 TBC with a score of 19/20 being held back by slight confusion in the gameplay. Looking past that and you have a really good track with what's probably some of the best visuals in the game. There's a reason RHcks is one of the more popular creators on the site if not the most popular, and tracks like this show why this is the case. This is currently 13th on the top rated page with a score of 4.84/5 from 62 rates.

GD Limbo by @Puff_with_a_gun
I was very late to this track but I gotta say I don't think I've seen the amount of effort put into a track this high before. It's not the easiest track to play since the gameplay is unconventional and the visuals hard to look at, and so the rating isn't as high as it probably deserves, but that's because it was based on an Extreme Demon level from GD. The track does exactly what it tries to do, and puts in a lot of attention to detail into it. May not be the best track as a track, but definitely is one of the best creations on the site because it's much more than just a track. One of my favourite courses which came from a relatively unknown creator, and is exactly why people should be talking about stuff like this more. Seeing people push the editor to its limits is truly fascinating to see. Amazing recreation of Limbo, could not get any better. Give this course some more love.

NDC64 Mushroom Mountain by @Nodac64
You can tell this track was heavily inspired by GCN DK Mountain, but it's still one of the most fun and interesting tracks on the site. The track has a lot of shortcut potential and is one of the more skill-based tracks because of this. Nodac hasn't made too many tracks, so I'm looking forward to see what other bangers he creates in the future. 5/5 from 28 ratings is pretty good, I think it deserves even more.

------------------------------------------

I could've spoken about so many more tracks which might've taken way too long, but hopefully this gets people talking about CTs more. I'm also interested to see what other opinions people have, so feel free to make your own Top 5 and send it here (retros are allowed since some change a lot, but don't send your own tracks for the reason I mentioned). Go play this game more and appreciate the awesome creativity fellow members have.

Have a good day ;)

I used the same ruleset as Tox here, no retros and none of the tracks which i have contribution on.
The list will be sorted from number 5 to number one here, so for example, number 5 is the one right below this.

STK2 Bone Piranha Falls by @Starl-
I've barely played any tracks from this guy and he is already impressing me so much. I feel like he has better tracks to offer me but i'm notorious for being the guy that can't load stuff from postimg. This track is has an interesting and fun layout, good obstacles to dodge, and overall very enjoyable track. The music is also a banger but i can't give him too much credit cause he didn't create it.

RHGP2 Heaven and Hell by @RHcks
Haven't played that much from him because the same reason. Though he seems to be the type of person to be improving with every track, don't think i'm missing out on too much. The Hell section of this track is some of the best 20 seconds i have in MKPC. The Heaven section is a  bit lacking though since 70% of it is Cloudtop Cruise, but it does enough to stand out from it. The lenght of this track is also holding it back, taking almost 2 and a half minutes in VS mode. Definitely check this track out if you have the time to (which most of you do).

UNK Shuttlethread Pass by @TheNudgyHampter
This is a track that i just really like playing, it's a track that needs getting used to a little, but once you do, it's awesome. It's honestly a great showcase on how 48px road width can make an incredible track if used right, since this track benefits a lot from the thin road width. This track took 7 months to finish (though i'm pretty sure most of that time was spent procrastinating). Stll, go play.

MK5O Creta by Fways
Trying to have a different list to Tox's, i think Dragon's Fortress is better but this is a close second. The fact that this track has no obstacles yet being one of my favorites really says how good the design is (though now i think about it, adding obstacles might ruin the track). I'm a big fan of the music choice here, it sounds incredible. I also love how the map is just... a box. Easy S Tier track here, go try it.

The final one i'm gonna showcase is my personal favorite track, though not the best design wise

TKC Sky Sanctuary by @Kernell
I don't know what it is about this track, but i keep coming back to it at least once every 2 weeks, and I still suck at it.🔥🔥 This track is a really unique take on the sky theme, not making it into another version of cloudtop or sky garden is an rare skill.(even i don't have that power). I really don't know what to say here, as i just think the track is incredible and that's pretty much it. You should really try this track out, it's really fun!!

Not necessarily the top 5 tracks but definitely 5 tracks worth checking out in my opinion, basically this is just me simping over other track creators xd
Also avoiding Rhcks and Starl because like cmon

Mushroom Airport by @NexusX
Pretty good track creator that hasn't been mentioned in this topic yet, no notes lol. This guy sometimes makes several tracks in a week and they're somehow not terrible 🥶

MKL 2 Candy Cane Factory by @-iz-
This guy went from zero to hero, he randomly became really good at making custom tracks for some reason. Also check out @coolioaziz (his brother), their tracks are pretty similar in quality.

GCN Daisy Cruiser by @Nodac64
Nodac is probably THE goat of MKPC, he seemingly knows eveything about the game and he helps absolutely anyone even if they are annoying. He's one of the best players and his custom tracks are no exception. I picked Daisy Cruiser in particular because it's definitely his best track in my opinion, and it's scratching the surface of what could be done with overrides had Wargor not made the stupid decision of making them unskippable

MMGP+ Super Star Studios by @MakenMoozac
I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned on this topic yet, he has very creative and unique themes and his multicup is one of the best on this website in my opinion idk how I somehow surpassed him in follows

Cidade Tomboy by @Puff_with_a_gun
Easily the most underrated track creator I've seen on this website, if you thought MakenMoozac's themes were creative you've seen nothing yet. It's all in a very unique artstyle too and his art is lit asf. If you're checking any creators on this topic out, check this one. He definitely deserves more followers and ratings. Also tomboys are hot.

1- Desenhos Besta By @Puff_with_a_gun
(Most underrated track creator of this top imo)

3-
RHGP2 Seasonal... oh wait it's MKL2 Season Tours By @-iz-

Going to revive this topic because I think it's worth bringing back. I posted about 2 months ago but since then some more tracks have been released that I think definitely deserve to be mentioned. There were also some tracks I missed before that I think are really cool. Once again, I'd be interested to hear everyone else's opinions, but for now here's my extended list in no particular order.

------------------------------------------

MMGP+ Blooper Inc. by @MakenMoozac
MakenMoozac is definitely one of those underappreciated creators because some of the stuff he comes up with is genuinely peak. He does the themes that no-one else thinks of and then uses them to their full potential, and Blooper Inc is no different. Never would I have expected an office track to be so interesting, and the toads on the office chairs are amazing. This track is just a glimpse of his innovation so go check out some of his other stuff too.

TKC Space Land by @Kernell
Kernell is the guy whose opinions I'll never understand but somehow none of his bad takes end up in his tracks, and he might honestly be the best gameplay creator as of right now. Whilst I prefer Mirage Drylands' gameplay, Space Land is more impressive with the editor. The override gimmick is really cool and brings a new kind of strategy that hasn't been done before on the site, and there's a lot going on for a lap that only lasts 20 seconds. I know it's quite new but it definitely deserves more than only 10 rates.

UNK Volcanic Pyramid by @TheNudgyHampter
Took me a while to appreciate this but I think this is probably Nudgy's best track. The gameplay in this is really fun and the visuals are quite nice too. There're also some hidden secrets in this track which I think is a nice touch, even if it does nothing. I do think the beginning parts are a bit on the emptier side but the pyramid section more than makes up for it. Like Space Land, this deserves more than only 10 rates.

Rosalina Galactic Glacier by @NexusX
Nexus made a better Rosalina track than Nintendo and it's not even close. I think this track is awesome in every way and I really enjoy how much there was put into it. It's also quite fun to play, although Nexus if you're reading this the item set distribution is a bit skull emoji so please bring the 2nd set earlier lol. I definitely still recommend checking this track out though.

I know I said in the first post I wasn't going to include retros since I wanted to show track imagination, however I think this one can get an exception...
GBA Yoshi Desert by @coolioaziz
Idk what he did but Coolio absolutely cooked with the visuals on this one to the point where it is now my favourite track to look at on this site. This is on par with RHcks' visuals and I don't know if I can say anybody else has even come close. I never really cared for Yoshi Desert too much but I put this track at the top of my rankings for the CTGPPC But Good list. I probably would've picked Ice Cream Constellation if it wasn't this however that was mentioned in RHcks' message in the post above. His brother @-iz- also has very similar quality tracks but my favourite one Candy Cane Factory is also already mentioned but in Kernell's message 2 posts above this one. Check them both out because they're emerging as some of the best creators, and their sister @Qowwani might not be too far off either.

------------------------------------------

Funny coincedence but in the middle of me writing this Kernell dropped another banger track, which probably could've fit into this list but I'm too lazy to change it. Kernell Rally 1.
