Part one: drawing the track
Spoiler [ShowHide]
Step 1: fun layout
This is simple, make it a fun layout but don’t make it littered with turns at every moment. A bad layout would be a circle ⭕️. A good layout would be a bone 🦴.

Step 2: shading
You don’t need complicated shading, just enough so that, you can tell if you are inside or outside something, can tell the difference between off-road, walls, and a hole. A hole should be darkest, a wall should be lightest and off-road should be a bit darker than normal road. Shading doesn’t matter much if for example: the road is dirt, the off-road is grass, the walls are fences and the holes are water but if there is a situation where, for example, the road, off-road and holes are the same color, keep those shading tips in mind shading tips in mind

Part two: Making the track playable

Step 1: starting position, walls and off-road.
These Are simple ones that should go first since they don’t affect anything else
Step 2: checkpoints and holes
These are together because while you should do checkpoints first, there is another topic which helps with them:Making your checkpoints- 2022 edition. also, something optional but can make tracks better is not being lazy with holes. If you are lazy with holes it can cause to big set backs like falllimg of on one side of a lake you just went past and respawning on the other side you was just on
Step 3: cpu route
Another simple one, other than don’t make a route that skips a key checkpoint or throws the cpu into a hole and potentially have multiple routes for different angles and paths
Step 4: other
Despite being in the advanced section, I’ve put it here because the ‘other’ section has lots of important things like:
background
You want the background to fit the theme
Music
You want it to sound fitting and good
Out color
You want the edge of the track to look like it keeps going
Step 5: items
Most official tracks have 3 item sets: one near the start, one in the middle, and one near the end. The first set doesn’t have a double item box and the second and third sets have them in a strategic place like: on the edge or on one side
Step 6: advanced options
These are optional but do make the track more fun to play but don’t overuse these
