[Kart]Nitro Island (Choose the routes that will be used!)

As you may know if you've been on the IRC chat, I am making an island which I am planning to turn into 4 courses in SRB2Riders' Kart mode. However, I'm not so sure as to what the best routes would be, so I thought that it might be best to ask you guys to make the routes.

Here's how it's going to work. I have already decided the four types of track that will appear, and have therefore narrowed the possible routes for each track down. To show this, I've used my sketch of the island's roads, and coloured in the sections that could be used for each track. There are two colours to consider - the pale green sections are sections of the track which the route MUST go through (for example, the Beach track has to go through the Beach section of the Island) while the red sections are the routes which may or may not appear in the track. It is up to you guys to pick the route that the circuit takes. I recommend that you fill in the route you pick with the pale green, and place a white line where you want the start to be.

Once I have enough routes to choose from each track, I will transform the routes into actual tracks on the Island, and then allow you guys to try them out, and pick which one is best suited for the actual release.

Now, without further ado, here are the four track areas that you need to turn into actual circuits:

How are we supposed to choose routes without having seen the track? If you're gonna let us do this, wait until the map is done and we can actually see what we're choosing.

The map is done enough for this.

But, if you really want to see the island as it is at this moment in time, just say so and I'll provide the WAD of it. But, as it's not ready for beta until the routes are picked, I won't be placing the WAD in this topic.
 
Use fancy linedef and sector effects to make it change depending on what the players in the map do. Competitive path changing.
 
Well, this could certainly be a cool idea. It reminds me of the Chao Race world from Sonic Adventure 2. I always loved that place.

As for tracks, why ask us? You're the creator of it, you're in a much better place to say what paths would make the best courses.

True, I'm in the more better place to choose, but - and don't get me wrong with this - I may end up choosing the routes that you guys don't like. This is why I'm asking you first.

However, I will demonstrate some of my ideas that I currently have for the routes.

Actual screenshots or the wad file itself would make choosing the route much easier.

Well, here's the current work in progress WAD. For the moment, it replaces Mario Circuit (as I've haven't yet gotten to making the proper level header yet, I need to have it replace one of the standard Kart tracks) and there is no start/finish line yet. However, it should give you guys an idea as to what may work.
