Introducing the "Spark Cup"!
The Spark Cup is a map pack intended to be balanced around both RA and netgames alike, containing five tracks (Spark Cup), two extra tracks, a battle map, and some more stuff. These levels are inspired in their concept by the music that plays on them. If it exists, and you like it, thank the music, as it's the main building block and inspiration for the entire map in the first place. The first five tracks (Spark Cup) are meant to give you a traditional SRB2K experience while the extra tracks are meant to be additions and nods to other franchises and tracks by different people!
The map pack features:
The map pack features:
- Five regular maps
- Two extra maps
- Three Hell maps
- Encore Mode versions for most tracks
- Compatible with Easy, Normal and Hard difficulties (shortcuts only guaranteed for Normal and Hard)
- One Battle Map, Battle Plus supported!
- Compatibility with Daytona Kart!
- Easter eggs (???)
Magical Monolith Zone (MAPVA)
My first map for SRB2 Kart, Magical Monolith Zone is a 2-lap race that takes you through a detour in a road in the middle of a meadow, in order to take a trip around the nearby mountain. In this weird and mystical location, few things are as it seems... Despite being inside of a cave, portals open to the outside world, revealing strange ruins of ancient civilizations and glowing rocks in weird formations...
This track provides a more competitive experience backed up by plenty of more skilled racers. This longer track is wider and compatible for races with higher player counts, and offers plenty of challenge to nail that perfect racing line without becoming too frustrating to attempt over and over again.
Sweet Wonderland Zone (MAPVB)
Sweet Wonderland Zone brings you to a small, yet colorful place filled to the brim with chocolate, ice cream, cake and candy! Explore this 5-lap track by going under a birthday cake tunnel, driving through the heart-shaped loop, drifting through a hairpin surrounded by candy canes and blasting over frosting paths and cookies under the gaze of the ever present unicorn cakes!
The heart-shaped loop even includes bouncy lollipop borders at one point. Use them to your advantage! If you have a sneaker, you may even take a shortcake through the shortcut. Wait... The other way around, that is...

Submerged Shipwreck Zone (MAPVC)
Drift through land, sea, and fly like a cannonball in Submerged Shipwreck Zone, a 3-lap track with mostly underwater physics. In this remade version of the original, you will jump from the docks down to a sand pile with its landmark sandcastle, enter an abandoned ship and its dining hall, make sure not to fall off the deck of the sunken galleon, explore a pirate cave full of treasure and fly back to the comfortable piece of land, where Chao gather to... Play beach volleyball??
The pirate cave entrance marks the start of a steep descent. If you were to make use of the ledge carefully, you could scratch valuable tenths of a second in a pinch... Be risky and gain an edge over your rivals! And most importantly, make sure to speed capture the huge jump section with a sneaker for a last-second advantage. Few tracks send you through such crazy jumps!

Cerulean Riviera Zone (MAPVD)
An adaptation of the famous real-life Circuit de Monaco / Côte d'Azur, Cerulean Riviera Zone takes you through a coastal principality with its famous recreational center / casino, allowing you to take into the pretty sights of such bustling city! Drive uphill towards the casino, and leave it through the tunnel leading to the harbour zone, full of dangerous chicane turns. Don't get distracted by the copious amounts of advertisements! You will struggle not to crash into the walls in this highly technical 3-lapper.
This track, just like its real life counterpart, has a pool, except this one allows you to jump over it! Be careful, though, as the tight layout will not give you a break, especially on the latter half of the track. Make sure to polish your racing line! In Record Attack, all major shortcuts are disabled - so learn to take those turns!

Ironbed Descent Zone (MAPVE)
With more than 20000 FU of height difference between Start and Finish Line, Ironbed Descent Zone is one of the tallest maps in SRB2K, surpassing even Downhill Jam Zone, which served as inspiration for its verticality and variety of locales. This is a sprint map that follows a river from its source until it ends at the sea! You will travel through many different changing places - a fountain cavern, a lake, a desert town, an emerald mine (which may be the source that powers those boost panels?!), beautiful rolling hills and donut-shaped mountains, and an idyllic and peaceful town based on the Mediterranean coast!
All major shortcuts are disabled in Record Attack - but don't fret! An EXTREME waterskipping section is mandatory. Will the river send you through the upper or the lower path? React accordingly - but be ready! The race continues through a dizzying minecart section!
Sloppy Sludge Zone (MAPVF)
In a remote location on a mountain ladder, a small town witnesses brave racers participate in a rallycross course... The stadium roars as the racers get set on the finish... Lines?
Welcome to Sloppy Sludge Zone, a 4-lap track (or 2-lap, depending on how you see it) that runs parallel to itself on two lanes, akin to the Super Special stages in Colin McRae Rally and the Head2Head mode in DiRT! You'll drift through a muddy jungle, a set of very slippery caves and a lush mountainside village in a course based on the Muddy tracks from Sega Rally 2 (for Dreamcast and PC)! Certain sections of the track will be filled with slippery mud - so be ready for a really technical and challenging course that is difficult but satisfying to master! If you see an orange partition with thin red-white barriers, items can traverse through it. Watch out for flying orbinauts, sneaky Jawz and bouncing Ballhogs, and use those sections to your advantage for sick lane-to-lane shots!
The Sega Rally inspiration does not end there, as this map contains a brand-new lua functionality, courtesy of Eldog, that replicates the navigator voices and indications from the original game! Looks like we got ourselves an old-fashioned Sega Rally Championship!
Finally, do check out Encore Mode for a really "cool" twist on the track!
(You can use the command ss_shutup On to silence the announcer and ss_shutup Off to keep it working.)

Flower Coast Zone (MAPJ0) [by TrustyGun]
A recreation of Greenflower Zone with SRB2 2.2 assets, Flower Coast Zone is a simple but fun stroll through an accessible track featuring gentle slopes and cozy music! This map, first made in 2018, was remade in 2020 and now appears as part of this pack in order to keep its presence alive! Featuring a variety of turns, from the gentle to the stronger, this serves as a good track to slowly get used to the game's controls and drifts!
Sound Insanity Zone (MAPVG)
Sound Insanity Zone comes along this pack as a Battle Map, featuring elements and music based on the Panel de Pon / Tetris Attack series. Don't get crushed by the blocks, which conveniently move up and down along with the theme's tempo. Take profit of the wacky elevator in the middle of the stage, which also moves up and down frantically to the rhythm, and use it either as an ambush route or an escape route! And (don't) slack off in the totally (dys-)functional piano sections! Although they are filled with items, they are slippery!
Starting at the 16-second mark, music bars will appear on what are otherwise death pits. Are you feeling brave? Then you can use your spring item to take a risky jump and style over your opponents! The music bars also move up and down to the rhythm. This might also be one of your best ways to escape in a pinch!
Load KBL_SoundInsanity to enjoy this course!
Battle plus mode supported!
Submerged Shipwreck Mini (MAPVH)
Oh, hey! This track looks simple enough. I don't think traversing it is difficult- Oh. Now I get it. At least you can enjoy the sea, I guess. Together. Holding hands. Please do not get caught in the act.

Magical Monolith Classic (MAPVI)
Back in 2019, a younger me full of hope and passion for mapping decided to create a masterpiece.
Maybe he was cooking because he did not drop a blind turn update and then left without a trace, just sayin'.

Touge Zone (Original) (MAPVJ) [by Unusual_Infuriation]
Okay. Here's a less messed up version for those who actually want to play it outside of Map Hell. This is the version as the original mapper, Unusual_Infuriation, carefully designed and put all of their effort into. The result is a map that is surprisingly decent to race in during netgames. I am dead serious. This is also why, if you choose to load KR_TougeOriginal after loading the main pack, you'll be able to enjoy this course in a more comfy and slightlier serious setting.
