SUPERMETAL: Basic Bounce & the slide from Super Mario 64

I think these are good, simple, and fun maps. Basic Bounce lives up to its name sake. It is very basic, but that at least means it won't be unfair to you. Sometimes that is fine. Other times I wished there was something more to it. After you learn to drive past the inside-speedcap-springs you can actually move pretty quickly here. I'd say the only odd spot is the 90 degree left turn right after an upwards slope, the one before the teleport back to start. Since the fence is so short it can be a bit hard to see where the end of the road is before you have to turn. On the bright side you can see a bit of the top from the jump before it so it isn't that bad.

As for the Princess' Secret Slide, I have a huge Mario bias myself so OF COURSE I'm going to love this! The ice physics makes it fun to slip around other races and items on the track, and I'm surprised at how very little was compromised in trying to make this track authentic yet still work as an Srb2k track.

I'd recommend this pack just for the slide alone. I wished there were more than the two maps (not counting... *it*), but there is still some fun to be had with what is here. Tell Metal Mario I said hi.

Basic Bounce is exactly what you'd expect. It's a relatively straightforward course emphasizing springs and all that come with them.

Overall, the map is pretty fun in netgames, and the layout is serviceable, but it is... well, basic. I would love to see some more scenery out in the sky-abyss surrounding this track, or a big central setpiece of some sort. It would make the track more fun to look at for sure.

I would recommend trying this one out with some friends if you haven't already, the core of the track is real solid and you might just find a new favorite map.

The Secret Slide is much easier to review: It's the secret slide from Super Mario 64, almost entirely unaltered. You get what you paid for, with some guard rails thrown in for free. It's absolutely a fun time.
