I don't know if you know already, but I can't read the full entry for some reason.
Post automatically merged:
Sad to see blue spheres gone, but at least I can run it with Ivo now. The texture was really good too so if the problems do get fixed or the spheres get updated, it would be a waste to leave the old maps without them. Though I do like actually being able to appreciate the maps over seeing spheres everywhere so I'll probably will run without.

Weird, it's still updated... I thought I canceled it.
Anyway, forgive me but the update has been removed by me while it was still waiting for approval.
It was removed because the new level needed more time in the oven due to a bunch of feedback coming during testing.
Also, as it said in the quotes you saw, I removed it cause it wasn't needed at all now as I grew to make levels without them.

Hi. Cool update! I was wondering, is it intended the MapIDs has been switched around? This conflicts with servers using stattracker as well as leaderboard, since the old records will now appear on the new maps. Example W0 was used by an old map in v2 but is now used by the new map in v3. If this was fully intended I'll look into moving the records over or just wiping them I suppose.

I wanted to hop in and give some feedback to the maps in this pack, based on what I've played. In particular, I noticed some odd quirks with three tracks in particular: Steampunk Garden, Mayship Marine, and Molten Mankind.
Some of the map's geometry does a poor job at signaling the road ahead. The way this area is constructed, depending on the player and if you're not paying attention to the minimap, can be signaled as a sharp U-turn instead of a 90-degree turn.
Something similar happens here, as the fence blends in with the bright blue castle wall and you can interpret the large arches in the background as the way forwards. The signage doesn't always help either, as I've seen uses where it signals upcoming turns instead if the turns right as they happen (and some players don't always follow them when traversing the track).
If you attempt to sneaker off this ramp, you'll be met with a table out of nowhere. Said table can also trap players that get wedged behind it and the surrounding fountain.
I didn't notice as many things with this map as I did with Mayship, though some of the slopes and terrain, in particular the small jump after the giant one at the start of the track and this small bump by this set of items in the bottom left are placed in a way that they obstruct part of the track up ahead.
The direction in which one approaches this turn before the finish could signal that the part directly to the left of the sign (and the right of the grey wall) is the intended path or a shortcut.
Overall this is a very nice and varied pack with some breathtakingly amazing visuals and music choices and they're a fun time when you get the layouts memorized. I also like the new spring sprites present throughout the pack and they open the venue up for some creative shortcuts (even if the best strategy is to avoid all the sideways ones). Hopefully you can fix some of these issues so more players can enjoy the tracks fully.

To start, I think there are too many lamps and flags scattered on the track's drivable areas- especially since it's not obvious that they can be driven through on a first run. Maybe keep some as a guide to help with certain turns, like the candles in the Kart R version of Toxic Palace.
Moving onto the layout, I would make these wind gusts semi-transparent, as it ends up obstructing the track--this one turn for example, quite a bit.
This death pit on the second dive into the water is almost blind, and the following respawn position is pretty harsh.
And speaking of the second dive, this ramp can be pretty brutal to recover from if you slip or get knocked off. I would probably suggest putting up some kind of barricade to stop players from falling behind should they drive off.
This door that comes up after the ramp I mentioned above can signal players into driving into it, especially when the road ahead doesn't immediately come into view until drivers reach the peak of the incline. Since it serves no purpose and (to my knowledge) doesn't open into a temporary shortcut, I would remove it from the map.
