Welcome to Cookie Country, the bright countryside of the World of Miracles.

This deluxe track is set in the first area of Kirby's Return to Dream Land!

Take in the gorgeous greens, vast cliffs, and sparkling waterfalls of this recently-renovated landscape! There are a number of sloped turns to make, Springs to bounce on, the occasional branching path to take, shortcuts to get you ahead, and even waterslides that grant you blistering speed! The races here have become a popular event over the years, so if you ever feel discouraged, you can always count on Pop Star's friendly residents to cheer you on!

Enjoy!


As a bonus, the original 2020 version of the track, Cookie Country Classic, is now bundled with the current release as a pack! By default, Classic is set to appear in standard track rotation - server hosts are free to SOC it into Map Hell if that's their preference.

Textures

Nearly all textures are pulled from Kirby's Return to Dream Land itself, ripped directly through Dolphin and then modified/combined by me using GIMP. A few others seen in 2.0, such as the grass on the walls and Merry Magoland, were put together using in-game screenshots and official artwork of Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.
  • Sneaker Panel texture (for Cookie Country 2.0):
    • Mario Kart Wii ; pulled from The Textures Resource.
  • Whispy Woods' Eyes & Nose textures:
    • Super Smash Bros. (N64) ; pulled from The Textures Resource, ripped by Kylegor.
  • Dreamstalk texture:
    • Kirby: Triple Deluxe ; ripped by me through Citra.
  • Opulence waterfall texture (for Cookie Country Classic):

Kirby-style 'SRB2 KART' text was made with TextStudio's Text Effect Generator.

Special Thanks
  • Eldog; for teaching me how custom objects work.
  • Jartcast crew; for the original version's testing/feedback period, and the memories.

Older versions of Cookie Country Classic from before the SRB2 Message Board was updated:

Version 1.3 (10/29/20)
  • Fixed the sloped offroad at the end of the half-pipe section leading towards the upwards climb; you're no longer at risk of being bonked off the side of the road when drifting while trying to boost onto it.
  • Minor visual touch-ups.

Version 1.2 (10/13/20)
  • The slope jump shortcut at the start is now more comfortable and rewarding to take; the angle of the slope has been lowered so it's easier to maneuver towards the following bridge shortcut if you have extra boosts, and there are now extra items placed at the end so you'll no longer miss the first item set.
  • A Sneaker Panel has been placed near the top of the first sloped turn; taking the turn widely is no longer discouraged.
  • The left path above the underwater section has been removed; now your options are to either go underwater or take the remaining upper path.
  • The raised walls in the half-pipe section no longer have divots near the offroad.
  • Minor visual touch-ups.

Version 1.1 (10/10/20)
  • Renamed and renumbered all custom Objects to hopefully avoid conflicts with other maps.

Version 1.0 (10/10/20)
  • Initial release!

Very sweet map. Here the only complain that me and my server have about the map :
- Please make the yellow ground less hurtfull for the eyes. By either reducing the strengh of the light, or changing the texture.
- The bridge cut at the very begening is very "yolo" , it's literaly next to the item box. And because of the item placement, you have to anticipate the cut, proc your item early and pray that you get a booster.

It's rare that a map puts a genuine smile on my face from beginning to end, but this is certainly one of them. What a sublime work.
