Other than that. Enjoy and report issues here or to me directly (im on the Kart Krew discord btw!)

Also a special thanks to my friends for suggestions and Playtesting!

Spoiler: About the maps

- Snail Cup -

MAPK0 - Umbrella Rushwinds - A Rainy and windy valley that'll sweep you off your feet if you aren't too careful. This wet course is 2 laps.

MAPK1 - Verdant Raceway - Crafted to make drifts into corners much more satisfying. This generic green raceway has a few tricks ups its sleeve to keep you on your toes. Also 4 laps

MAPK2 - Autumn Ring - A Beautiful and secluded track in the middle of autumn... What more could you ask for?! 2 laps

MAPK3 - Sky Babylon Zone - Dangerous and infamous. It's Sky Babylon from Sonic Rush Adventure. This map isn't for weenies. 2 laps

MAPK4 - Azure Paradise Zone K - The Mystical yet calm Azure Paradise is personally my favourite map in my match maps. This map takes some cues from my SUGOI 3 map to keep it interesting and spicing up the gameplay. 3 laps and it's a Sprint track.

- Beetle Cup -

MAPK5 - Roasted Ruins Zone - Weave through pillars and hazards on the smooth roads that go down and up steep inclines so pay attention or you'll get stuck in the sand, this curvy zone is 3 Laps

MAPK6 - Panic City Zone - Tall buildings tower over you as you navigate through a portion of Panic city, This big place is a 3 lapper!

MAPK7 - Molten Manor - Time to heat things up! This hot course has a bit of everything, From the sweltering tight insides of the manor to jumping from open cliffs just avoiding the lava below. This bad boy is a 2 lapper.

MAPK8 - Toxic Tundra - Race through the tight and slippery corridors of this abandoned factory near a Nuclear plant without slipping into the toxic pools. This huge place is a long 2 lapper!

MAPK9 - Hazardous Cavens Zone - Watch your step! These thin roads in an underground cavern will test claustrophobic people and your reflexes to the limit. No weenies allowed in this dangerous 3 lapper.

- MK Special Cup -

no this isnt my hell cup

MAPKA - Lake Magorite 2 - Lake is back! with a slightly new layout. The layout now branches out down to a sandy road surrounded by salty waters!. Since the layout has been slightly extended, Lake sits at 2 laps for now.

- MK Hell -

MAPKY - Lake Margorite Classic - Due to popular demand, the very first layout that was made with jank slope physics and the OG super tight spiral. Is now included in the pack. 3 laps duh

MAPKZ - Verdant Raceway Classic - It's pretty much the same old Verdant raceway with thinner roads, the original shortcut and more

Spoiler: Known issues

WHOOPS

So sorry!! I confused it with one of your maps, thank you for letting me know.
(Turns out the bug was actually fixed too, which makes this even more embarrassing. The server must have been running an older version.)
