Aether Pack 3.3

Beneath a barren, icy tundra, discover various caves of gleaming crystals - who knows what else!
This 3-lapper shouldn't provide too much of a challenge, but watch out for patches of ice and bottomless pits! Oh, and don't anger the penguins.



Why go to an actual race-track when you can race from the comfort of your own home? Plug in to Virtual Reality and race this moderately difficult 2-lap course. This isn't a super technical track, but there are hazards to watch out for, and very few walls to keep you on the track.



Re-made from scratch, this map still features an uphill ascent to a spooky church. Less U-turns, a friendlier layout, and a strange green liquid turning all the vegetation evil?! Death is probably still hanging around somewhere...
The easiest map in this pack, this 4-lapper isn't too punishing, but i'm sure other racers will still be out for blood - and braaaaiiiiins!



A Sonic Adventure 2 level, re-imagined for kart. Race along metal walkways, past oil tanks (maybe), missiles, an aircraft carrier and A BIGGER MISSILE?! Smooth slopes and springs a-plenty.
Nothing too challenging, but watch yourself while jumping between platforms, or you could find yourself taking a swim.
(Looks best in OGL, sorry software gang)



A Kartrider map that's had various names and iterations, this isn't a 1:1 port. Perhaps a bit more Zigzag Jungle than forest, and i've tried to make it a bit more kart-friendly.
Owing to Kartrider's penchant for tight turns, this might be one of the most demanding tracks of my pack. Get ready for u-turns!




Originally made for SI-HTpak, race on a winding, suspended road, weaving through a dizzyingly tall cityscape from the future! My re-imagining of Vanilla's Metropolis Zone.
Quite a gentle track, but it does feature shortcuts you'll have to shoot to activate. Use precise aim to give yourself the edge!
