Melon Pack 8.1

Very solid selection of maps that don't rely on tacky gimmicks (other than maybe VB raceway on the default pallet, but that's really funny and charming). All of the maps have good readability and all stand out visually. I must especially applaud the new map, Eientei Mansion, it is very appealing on the eyes. That being said, I do think Thunder Circuit is a little bit weak, due to its checkpoints and the water skip, but it is still pretty fun. Overall, I give it a 9/10.

I like this pack :) I will only write about the rare element that pickle me.

Skeletal Sands : The track might need an additionnal cut, I often see poeple frontrunner this map. Encore music is to calm for a race.

Thunder Circuit : Maybe 6 turn instead of 7? Forced water jump is fine by me , but some poeple don't like that gameplay.

Killer Skies : Cool track, nothing to said about the layout, despite the fact that there is almost no wall. I just find the music weird.

Diamond Dust : Cool track, nothing to said about the layout.

VB : Even with the alternate color , I don't like that much this course. It also very easy to fall with a lot of player, I esspecial don't like the very last turn where you can just bonk to wall if you are to near to the border.

(Yes , we do battle)
Hyrule map : The less good of the 3 battle map. Mainly because it is not very clear that there is a river at the center. A ton of new poeple alway fall in the pit like that. plouf.

Pool Party : Very cool small battle map. There is enough obstacle to avoid full chaos (if we are less than 8 player at least). Very cozy.

Wind fish : Nothing to said about this one. It's fine.

Solid layouts all round, I like that these maps are not only visually distinctive, but use different turns and track geometry to keep them separate from one another. VB Raceway is particularly unique, i'm not sure i've seen another map that uses sloped corners in that way.
I'm not sure if Killer Skies and VB Raceway use any custom textures, but they do a good job of separating themselves from other maps - it would be nice to see the same for the rest of your pack.

These are really some underrated maps. My favourite has to be Diamond dust. Thunder Circuit is probably my least fav as its really basic but I absolutely do not dislike it.

Overall, Very fun and some nice layouts too!
