Introducing: The Spark Cup!
The Spark Cup is a map pack intended to be balanced around both RA and netgames alike, containing five tracks (Spark Cup), two experimental tracks (EX) and a battle map. These levels are inspired in their concept by the music that plays on them. If it exists, and you like it, thank the music! That's the main building block and inspiration for the entire map in the first place. The first five tracks (Spark Cup) are meant to give you a traditional SRB2K experience while the experimental tracks (EX) attempt to push the game to its limits and explore new ways of racing!
The map pack features:
- Five regular tracks + Two experimental tracks (WIP) + One hell map based on a regular track
- Record Attack ghosts submitted by the community
- Encore Mode versions for all tracks
- Compatible with Easy, Normal and Hard difficulties (shortcuts only guaranteed for Normal and Hard)
- One Battle Map, Battle Plus supported!
- Compatibility with Daytona Kart!
- Easter eggs (???)
-----
It's magic!
Magical Monolith Zone (MAPVA)
My first map for SRB2 Kart, Magical Monolith Zone is a 2-lap race that takes you through a detour in a road in the middle of a meadow, in order to take a trip around the nearby mountain. Drift fluidly through the uphill slopes until you reach the top, jump over a pit into a cave, visit the ruins of an ancient civilization, and finally reach the highlight of the track - a weird set of rocks in peculiar formation inside a strange alcove... Before reaching the main road again.
No one knows the nature or the reason for these monoliths to exist... Especially the huge one in the center and its clearly unnatural shape. Don't let that distract you, though - it may give you an advantage in the race if you are brave enough...

Wait, how can a cookie ever work as a starting line?!
Sweet Wonderland Zone (MAPVB)
Sweet Wonderland Zone brings you to a small, yet colorful place filled to the brim with chocolate, ice cream, cake and candy! Explore this 5-lap track by going under a birthday cake tunnel, driving through the heart-shaped loop, drifting through a hairpin surrounded by candy canes and blasting over frosting paths and cookies under the gaze of the ever present unicorn cakes!
The heart-shaped loop even includes bouncy lollipop borders at one point. Use them to your advantage! If you have a sneaker, you may even take a shortcake through the shortcut. Wait... The other way around, that is...

Going down!
Submerged Shipwreck Zone (MAPVC)
Drift through land, sea, and fly like a cannonball in Submerged Shipwreck Zone, a 3-lap track with mostly underwater physics. Jump from the docks down to a sand pile with its landmark sandcastle, enter an abandoned ship and its abandoned dining hall and museum, make sure not to fall off the deck of the sunken galleon, explore a pirate cave full of treasure and fly back to the comfortable piece of land, where Chao gather to... Play beach volleyball??
The pirate cave entrance marks the start of a steep descent. If you were to make use of the ledge carefully, you could scratch valuable tenths of a second in RA mode... Maybe even without the need for a sneaker! Be risky and gain an edge over your rivals! And most importantly, make sure to speed capture the huge jump section for a last-second advantage. Few tracks send you through such crazy jumps!

Just in case you didn't have enough Monaco!
Cerulean Riviera Zone (MAPVD)
An adaptation of the famous real-life Circuit de Monaco / Côte d'Azur, Cerulean Riviera Zone takes you through a coastal principality with its famous recreational center / casino, allowing you to take into the pretty sights of such bustling city! Drive uphill towards the casino, and leave it through the tunnel leading to the harbour zone, full of dangerous chicane turns. Don't get distracted by the copious amounts of advertisements, even if yours is always open to be there! ;) Make sure not to crash into the walls in this highly technical 3-lapper.
This track, just like its real-life counterpart, has a pool! Except this one allows you to jump over it! Be careful, though, as the tight layout will not give you a break, especially on the latter half of the track. Make sure to polish your racing line! In Record Attack, all major shortcuts are disabled - so learn to take those turns!

Ironbed River Zone (MAPVE)
With more than 20000 FU of height difference between Start and Finish Line, Ironbed River Zone is one of the tallest maps in SRB2K, surpassing even Downhill Jam Zone, which served as inspiration for its verticality and variety of locales. This is a sprint map that follows the River from its source until it ends at the sea! You will travel through many different changing places - a fountain cavern, a lake, an emerald mine (which may be the source that powers those boost panels?!), beautiful rolling hills and donut-shaped mountains, and the idyllic and peaceful Cyclades-based town!
All major shortcuts are disabled in Record Attack - but don't fret! An EXTREME waterskipping section is mandatory. Will the river send you through the upper or the lower path? React accordingly - but be ready! The race continues through a dizzying minecart section!

It's the entire circus!
Sound Insanity Zone (MAPVF)
Sound Insanity Zone comes along this pack as a Battle Map, featuring elements and music based on the Panel de Pon / Tetris Attack series. Don't get crushed by the blocks, which conveniently move up and down along with the theme's tempo. Take profit of the wacky elevator in the middle of the stage, which also moves up and down frantically to the rhythm, and use it either as an ambush route or an escape route! And (don't) slack off in the totally (dys-)functional piano sections! Although they are filled with items, they are slippery!
Starting at the 16-second mark, music bars will appear on what are otherwise death pits. Are you feeling brave? Then you can use your spring item to take a risky jump and style over your opponents! The music bars also move up and down to the rhythm. This might also be one of your best ways to escape in a pinch!
Battle plus mode supported!
I swear this plays differently than Baby Park.
Submerged Shipwreck Mini (MAPVG)
A very short and quick 7-lap round on the island featured in Submerged Shipwreck. Ever wanted to know what was in that tunnel? There you go! Mind the weather getting slowly more violent as the race progresses! By lap 5, the weather becomes so dark, you may not see a thing at all - so be careful! Inspired by short tracks with varying weather like Thunder Circuit by BMongrel as well as my need of including at least a short / long complex of tracks. You can blame Gran Turismo for that.

Welcome to the world of Sega Rally! It's slippery when wet!
Sloppy Sludge Zone (MAPVH)
In a remote location on a mountain ladder, a small town witnesses brave racers participate in a rallycross course... The stadium roars as the racers get set on the finish... Lines?
Welcome to Sloppy Sludge Zone, a 4-lap track (or 2-lap, depending on how you see it) that runs parallel to itself on two lanes, akin to the Super Special stages in Colin McRae Rally and the Head2Head mode in DiRT! You'll drift through a muddy jungle, a set of very slippery caves and a lush mountainside village in a course based on the Muddy tracks from Sega Rally 2 (for Dreamcast and PC)! Certain sections of the track will be filled with slippery mud - so be ready for a really technical and challenging course that is difficult but satisfying to master! If you see an orange partition with thin red-white barriers, items can traverse through it. Watch out for flying orbinauts, sneaky Jawz and bouncing Ballhogs, and use those sections to your advantage for sick lane-to-lane shots!
The Sega Rally inspiration does not end there, as this map contains a brand-new lua functionality, courtesy of Eldog, that replicates the navigator voices and indications from the original game! Looks like we got ourselves an old-fashioned Sega Rally Championship!
Finally, do check out Encore Mode for a really "cool" twist on the track!
(10 RA Ghosts. You can use the command ss_shutup On to silence the announcer and ss_shutup Off to keep it working.)

This map pack uses textures from the Community Ressources Pack by Eldog and other people from the KartKrew Discord Server. Thank you kindly for the work!
Some Custom Objects have been ripped from Ninferno's Nightmare Pack (with permission), namely from Hadal Trench Zone.
Thank you so much to RoyKirbs and Eldog for helping me create the skybox in Submerged Shipwreck! Also thanks again to Eldog for the help with Battle Plus and the AMAZING new lua functionality present on Sloppy Sludge ^~^
Also, thanks to FaytxStay for helping me with skyboxes in general, as well as general map knowledge and textures, and helping with final lap music implementation and Encore remappings!
Big shoutouts to Mr. Logan for telling me a very simple way to reduce file sizes for music!
Lua code provided kindly by Chaobrother and Callmore!
U-Turn signs used with permission from SoupBowler.
The giant Daytona Sonic used in Ironbed River is an edit of the one used in Three-Seven Speedway by Bluegen!
Creation of the variable in Sloppy Sludge (and the lua required for it) done kindly by Yoshimo!
.
And finally, thanks to everyone who submitted RA ghosts for all tracks! Plus everyone who gave feedback and helped make these tracks better, and more accessible! Also, thanks to all the people who sent their advertisements for Cerulean Riviera - please do send me a DM if you have an ad and you want it in!
