SMS Cup - it stands for Sega Master System

Hey! Do you need more MEGA cups in your life?
Just 2 (or 4 i guess) isn't enough for you?

Well you are in luck, because this is SMS Cup!

Featuring 7 levels, each pretty short, flat and with their own wacky gimmicks!

Here's the list:

MEGA Aquatic Ruin Zone (Race)
View attachment 141693
In this level, you'll dive into a very wet temple. Don't like water? Then you can take the springs for a thinner, yet faster and drier path!

MEGA Spring Yard Zone (Race)...

no offence, but... these tracks honestly suck. I decided to play in single player mode, and i quit at speed jungle because the grindrails just dosent work. and theres so much turns in every one, and all the hazards in spring yard makes me think that it was designed by little timmy with all the springs. I say, redesign the tracks to be more playable and DONT PUT TOO MUCH HAZARDS.
 
As cool as that Speed Jungle track is, you should consider increasing the track's size so as to work better on Gear 3.
 
Solid map pack, some maps have more or less issues than others. Here's some feedback i can provide, played primarily on gear 2 and master grand prix.

MEGA Aquatic Ruin
The cycle hazard is evil, potentially makes you almost unable to progress the map, you can barely squeeze through them though.
Upper road is cool, but a really tight fit, map in genereal feels like it would be better off it is was wider.
Second entry into the upper path is akward, if you dont have access to rings the landing just has you stop completely. I like the map though.

MEGA Spring Yard
Kinda tight map, could use some scaling up, final bumper room is kinda annoying due to how the bumpers can be arranged in ways that feel random (even though its not) and difficult to traverse. Don't mind the stair jank on the map.

MEGA Speed jungle
The tunnel is really akward, cramped. You don't get much space to adjust yourself, why are the entrance and exits obscured?
Catchup is kinda hard on this map, otherwise not bad.

MEGA Rusty Ruin
It's way too tight, extremely akward to navigate, makes trap items really strong and potentially unavoidable. The ramp jump at the start has no respawn so failing to take it means having to drive back up it. The final section has an intended way to go about it, but if you fail to take the springs you're kinda left to scramble trying to use the currents (found a spring in the corner that just skips the gimmick anyways?). Didn't really enjoy this one that much.

MEGA Metallic Madness
Actually like this one quite a bit, the setup at the end incentivizing triangle dashing is pretty cool. Probably could've used signage at that spiral since it a bit confusing first time around (see image). The last crusher is really mean tho haha. Collision bug with the spring which i don't know how much control you have over fixing that (see gif). Would've liked maybe some capsules here and there to vary lines.

Phobos
Did not beat this one. I've tried many a times in gear 2 and i just found it frustrating. The moon panels' physics feel incredibly akward and you are practically required to know how they work if you want to beat this. Had a good few runs end because red panels give you so much speed and turning midair is either sluggish or way too sensitive. The end of it is actually so messed up its kinda funny. I refuse to give this more than one attempt in gear 3.

Overall even though i have my issues with some maps i'd still say that it was fun playing through them. Except Phobos i guess, moon panels are just not my cup of tea.
 
Begine9 updated SMS Cup with a new update entry:

The Unnamed Update

Time for the second update! Here's everything changed:

  • Nerfed the spike rows in MEGA Aquatic Ruin, and added some Ark Arrows.
  • Reduced the amount of bumpers and spikeballs in the building section of MEGA Spring Yard.
  • Add blue spheres to MEGA Underground.
  • Added a respawn plane to the first fan section in MEGA Rusty Ruin, changed some of the grey springs in the ending section. and lowered the wall you need to get over in said section.
That's all!
