Smash Kart Circuit
MAPWN

Have you ever played on the Mario Kart stage in Smash bros and thought "Man I wish I could play on that track in kart"? It's basically that but with a twist after you cross the ramp. Try to avoid the 'active' brawl going on. Filled to the brim with Easter eggs.

Honestly, thought this was a figure 8 at first. After actually playing it though, it's a fun and full map with a lot of charm. I also read that the fighters are a threat at first, but hitting them actually knocks them out like the toads which is hilarious. More people should play this map.

I am actually somewhat pleasantly surprised with Smash Kart Circuit. I'm not a fan of "circuit"-themed levels because I feel it's an overdone theme, but I feel the layout is overall solid and has no real visibility issues. Even the paraglider section is really tame and has a (easily-trappable!) sneaker panel associated with it that feels rather neat and thoughtful. The only problem section seems to be that last turn, which is unbanked and does not have much space, but I can live with it.

I think the strength of this map really comes down to its attention to detail. Stop, and look around at the signs, advertisements and certain details like the Yoshicopter, not to mention that you can crash into Smash characters like the level it is based on. It also has various easter eggs that makes me feel the author had a lot of fun creating their first level which is always nice. I think casual players will love this level.

Of course, this is not a flawless map - it goes out of its way to prevent ultracuts, but you can actually drive backwards from after the first ramp and get a lap scored faster than just by driving the map regularly. The first ramp should be a point of no return, plain and simple, as you never want players to drive backwards to grief each other or game the checkpoint system.
I also feel it's really empty somehow. It's really desperately missing (Chao) audience members around the level the cheer the players on, it feels weird to have a race in a circuit level with no one watching. Maybe the skybox should have more elements as well, like buildings, mushrooms, so forth and so on, to break out of the same skyline.
Don't neglect the encore version of your map, either.

The MB says 3 stars is a "Good" map, so I feel compelled to give it this rating. Lots of small things tie it together and the combination of multiple circuit levels is pretty neat. I think a pack with a single level is a hard sell for some people to host so I encourage you to make a new level whenever you have some time. I see you're updating this map regularly which is good, so please keep up the good work!

Hi Jugador!

Thanks for playing my map and taking the time to write this review! Much appreciated for all of the feedback here! Thanks for pointing out the exploit. It'll get patched in the next update hopefully soon. I def want this map to be viable for tournaments etc. Admittedly the "audience" texture looks too much like DIRT (LMAO) - they're too small!! This was a texture from Brawl that was intended to only be viewed from far distances so this makes sense. I didn't use chao for performance concerns, though I haven't fully done testing to be sure lol.

I am VERY glad you picked up on a lot of the details I put into the map. It makes me feel seen and validated LOL. You are correct - I did have a blast making this. My philosophy on releases is to just put it out there as soon as it's finished. Like a lot of people here I hope to release a good number maps in the coming....months for this pack. The next project for me will be lua based. Hopefully after that, map 2 can be started. All in due time :)
