[Open Assets] Turbo Flash Pack v5

Green Park: Green Park is back with an entirely redone layout! A very easy 2-lap course traversing through a huge park merging nationality and recreation grounds! The time of the day even changes in later areas...



Wasteland Assembly: Within the middle of an abandoned wasteland lies a series of work-in-progress transportation networks! From roads, to a subway, to highways, the Wasteland Assembly team is welcoming all players to race on their property! The following map is a complete remake of Roundabout Wasteland, and is now a traditional 3-lap course.



Sakura Forest: Welcome to Sakura Forest! This blooming cherry blossom forest immerses you with various cliffs, rocks, trees, and rivers. Indulge in this breathtaking excursion and be on the lookout for those jumping fish as you're driving!



Techno Station: Based off of FoxBlitzz's old SRB2 2.0 circuit map Race Alley, I give you, Techno Station! A blast to the past! Leans towards the intermediate side of things, but not too difficult to master.



Splash Heights: We're sky high. In this mountainous region, you'll be flinging yourself off jumps, maintaining your balance on cliffs, and drift storing to the best of your ability to stay ahead of the competition! Use those shortcuts whenever you can to catch up!



Leaf Forest: In a complete re-imagining of the first zone from Sonic Advance 2, Leaf Forest offers a very fast-paced and slope-crazed adventure! Just without all the loop-de-loops from the original game.



Blistering Shelter: Stuff's heating up in this 4-lapper! Race through this magma-surrounded cavern and avoid being burnt to a crisp!



Sepia Swamp: Race across this spooky, wilted, and polluted swamp. Thematically-wise, this track is inspired by the Ghost-Island levels from Pac-Man World 2. This track is also jam-packed with tight turns, so be on your toes!



Turbo Simulation: Inspired from SSBM's Race to the Finish minigame and Plom510's Cyber Scramble in terms of visuals, it's a dash for first place as you race through a series of synthetically-charged virtual corridors and become the master of this winding simulation! However, those bright flashlights on the road may just be waiting around the corner....



Viridescent Relic: High up and intricately hidden in the clouds, lies a gigantic and magical landscape of manmade structures in devastation. Traverse your way through this supernatural relic as the remnants of temples cling on to their existence and still offer their greenery.

V5 changes:

• Some re-ordering has been done with the maps.
