Are any tracks planning to come back for SRB2?

[Sapheros]

SRB2 2.1 is only using tracks from the current levels in 2.0. And while some tracks made a return (Final Fight), Some tracks were given up or just not used at all. For example the Special Stage music and Mystic Realm Tracks like Aerial Garden Act 3.

So will any other tracks make their return for SRB2's main campaign? Or will us users have to get it for our own levels?

I pretty much don't know since nobody uses race mode that off
Much. I would not bet if the old or "added from contest" will be in.

I think he means music tracks.

Oh, maybe he was talking about race tracks/courses.

He's clearly talking about music.

I don't think "Final Fight" was ever a name for a Circuit map in SRB2, so more than likely he means music tracks.

Anyway, I'm really not sure how to respond to the original post... Which tracks are used or not isn't generally a concern, as any not used are usually left in for custom mods to use if they wish.

Pretty much what Monster said.

We don't leave tracks in SRB2 with the intent of using them later. We typically leave them for other people to use if they want. If one of those tracks happens to work with a map we've made, great. If not, then we find something else.

It's also part of why we included the old 1.09.x "Verdant Forest Zone" track after it'd been absent for a while, as well as a vertically-flipped "Greenflower Zone" track. I had also wanted to include a few tracks from a few MIDI composers in the Doom fanbase (tracks that actually vaguely fit SRB2's aesthetic, mind, not just heavy metal that you'd usually associate with that game), but it didn't pan out.

Suppose I should've also pushed for 1.09.x's "Castle Eggman Zone Act 3" to make a return, in case somebody really had a use for it.
