It's weird to think that at some point, the end would actually arrive.
Marking the end to all patches to this map pack (not counting possible emergency fixes), the Spark Cup reaches Version 3, and thus, the end of its maintenance, at least from me. Thanks to the input of multiple people...
Hello, everyone.
Kart (as we know it) just turned 5 years old a few days ago. For a period of time, this game was the best outlet for my creative efforts, and mapping became incredibly fun, if also frustrating at times. Eventually, it all went well and I released something I'm very proud of...
Good evening! It's been a long while, hasn't it?
After beating this recent burnout, and in the span of just a few days, I've been able to throw another update! Not the huge new track (or remake of that other track) people were maybe expecting, but instead, it's the turn to give a facelift to my...

Greetings!
This update is meant to be another transition update that brings the maps from the original Spark Cup into a new level by mostly giving them a needed coat of paint. Today's turn is Cerulean Riviera!
The Monaco-based track now boasts a slightly altered layout that's generally wider...
Surprise!
It's been a while. Today I release the Spark Cup V2.6, with some significant changes, including the separation between race and battle (See the battle map in a different file), no more dynmusic in favor of native Encore music, some minor changes to most tracks... And the addition of a...

Hello! It's been a long time, and I've mostly taken a break from mapping. However, in the future (sooner or later, whenever it may be) I'd like to finish the pack and finally get it out of beta.
As a first notice, this is not a pack update so if you're only here to download stuff, you can move...

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...
I like the track's design, but I do agree that 5 laps seems more feasible since the track does have some meat to it. Also, it seems that your SOC or music file is messed up? There's no music playing on the track whatsoever. It's looking for a certain music file that isn't MAPDN's.
The spots taken by CCCP have since been "replaced" by newer versions of those maps which are in other slots entirely. For example, what used to be C5 in CCCP is now a different map around the A spots in Dirk's maps. The conflict is there but it shouldn't matter as much regardless
I tested the track, some feedback:
- The starts seem to be reversed. Player 1 Start should be all the way in the back in order to give people in the back a slight advantage between races.
- The track itself is functional, but the waypoints starting from Checkpoint 4 are a bit messed up. The...
The pack contains lua, so Record Attack is turned off by default. You can still test the maps if you go to Multiplayer mode and either Internet or Offline, so you can test them by yourself!
I'm really happy to have been able to see these maps for the first time all the way during the contest. I encourage you all to check them out - they are all beautifully crafted!
