Wish Granted, but it will break 2 days later.

I give Bowser a life, and in return I wish for SMG3

Wish granted, but Tails is so tiny that he takes a lot of damage

I give bowser a life, in return I wish Taco Stand Waluigi is in MK9 (couldn't think of anything else yet)

I meant TT mode but ok

I think that is how this works...

Wish Granted, but every track gets 1 star trolled.

I give a life to Bowser and in exchange, I beat Zekirio on every track

I don't want bowser jr ded

I give bowser a life to protect Bowser Jr.

Can someone explain to me what is going on. I don't wanna read 46 pages...

What? (Ping me if you need me, I probably won't see this again without it)

If you've used the forum recently you'll know it's a bit problematic and for various reasons, and unfortunately it has been like this for a while now. A few days ago, Graf_Pigouni posted his thoughts on this topic and it's gotten people talking, and rightfully so. Rather than replying in that topic only to have the message buried on a random page and missed by people, I'll be sharing my thoughts and what will be happening soon to mitigate this here.

The Problem(s):

Competitive talking. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with increasing their message count because it's really stupid. Kids get a shot of dopamine seeing that number go up and then go off topic by celebrating a message milestone. Quite frankly, nobody cares and it gets annoying really quick. I've lost track of how many times people have been told to not have conversations on the report topic, only for more conversations to happen a few days later (there's a reason we only want reports there, it makes moderating the site easier since we don't need to filter slop, help us help you!).

It's clear that the message counter has fueled posts containing unimportant slop and has led to the creation of random topics that should just go on Space for Anything. I don't think anyone would be surprised with the fact that people are spending more time on the forums than the actual game (holy shit did you guys realise the MK in MKPC stands for Mario Kart meaning there's a game attached to the site?!).

Oh and for those who think I broke the rules by saying the 'shit' word in the sentence above, you haven't read the rules, which also happens to be another problem contributing to the forum slop. Easy solution would be to just read it, idk what you want me to tell you.

It doesn't help that most of the contributors to the problem are young, too young for social media so they come here instead. Now even though I personally think you shouldn't be allowed on social media at such a young age, I can't realistically enforce those bans, and I'm sure people would fake their age anyway.

Take some advice from a 20yo unc like me, you only get one childhood, so don't waste it here on the forums and go enjoy it.

What the community should do:

If people do break the rules on the forum, either use the report topic or the red report button in the top right corner of each message. Also, don't give any rule-breaking messages any attention because it will only make things worse. Use reactions where applicable instead of making a new post too.

PLAY THE GAME. There is so much love and effort put into the game, especially people who create custom tracks for others to enjoy. Even the lower-end courses are still made by people attempting to contribute to the site. Go and explore the courses out there and support creators who put a lot of time and care into their creations. I reckon some forum grinders don't know who RHcks is, and that's a red flag tbh.

Going outside is also a solid option.

What I will be doing as an admin:

I'll be pushing for some updated rules that should be easier for the community to read. Even though the current rules are admittedly a bit tricky to follow it IS still your responsibility to read and follow them. The rules exist for a reason and serve to keep the community safe and the mods will enforce them where necessary, but know the mods here are pretty chill and lenient with people and we don't make unfair decisions. Hopefully this limits the amount of people who get confused or those who don't understand that mild swearing is actually allowed.

I will also be purging the report topic next week, meaning every post there will be deleted. Some of you will notice that your message counts will drop (boo hoo), as it should since it's not a place to chat or get that number going up. I'm also expecting the new report topic to not have any irrelevant messages.

TLDR:
You should probably actually read this but quick recap:
- Make sure you read and follow the rules
- Competitive talking is bad
- Message count is useless and NOT an achievement
- Don't respond to rule-breaking messages and use the report options
- Play the game including custom tracks

Have a good day.

Frequently Asked Suggestions: (may be updated)

1. New Courses for the base game (eg. N64, GCN, Wii etc.)
Adding new courses takes a lot of effort to create, much more than the good custom tracks on the site. It's better to focus on more important updates such as bug fixes and optimisations. You can also just play the custom tracks that people worked hard to build anyway, such as the (currently WIP) community project MKPC Generations (go check out other creations too!).

2. More storage for Complete Mode
25MB is plenty, and the site won't be able to handle any more data. If you really want to save storage you can always use an image compressor (which may lower quality a tad) or an image hosting site such as FileGarden.

3. Nerf CPUs in Grand Prix Mode
GP mode is 150cc and the CPUs are set to 'Difficult' for those who didn't know. They will not be nerfed because with a bit of practice they are not that hard (except for maybe 2 cups but persistence will prevail).

4. Remove Reverse Drifting (RD)
RD is confirmed as an official technique and will never be removed (it is also neither hacking nor cheating).

5. Gliders
These are not a necessary addition, programming them will be difficult, and the existing ramps and cannons are fine. Like the first point there are more important updates too.

6. Ultra Mini Turbo/Purple Drift
The SMTs in the game are already strong enough. MKPC is also quite small scaled compared to the official MK games so they wouldn't work well anyway.

7. Extra and Diagonal Quick Mode Tiles
Diagonal tiles will not work with how QM functions. You might as well use CM at that point.

People have been making a lot of topics about suggestions for MKPC, so rather than having tens of the same topic it's better to just have 1 topic for everything.

Topic Rules: (just to keep things neat here)

1. Read the Frequently Asked Suggestions (FAS) in the post below, which lists common examples and explains why said suggestions won't be added to MKPC. Do not suggest anything within that post (might be updated in the future) or else the post will be deleted.

2. Merge suggestions into one post rather than making multiple posts for each suggestion. Just because the topic is about providing new ideas to make the site better doesn't mean you can message farm here. Also, please also refrain from sending every second or so message because this isn't the topic to be active in.

3. You aren't Wargor so don't act like these suggestions will be implemented just because you like them. No i-forgot behaviour allowed.

4. Stay on topic. This topic is only for suggestions and discussions around them so don't post any irrelevant messages.

5. Don't recreate this topic, otherwise it will be deleted.

6. Be clear with your suggestions. This isn't mandatory, however it is much more beneficial if you explain how your suggestion may be implemented and why it may be useful.

Unfortunately, sometimes people do not respect the website rules and don't get caught by administrators/moderators. But you can help us, if something like this occurs, by reporting all the people who don't respect the rules on this topic!

Don't hesitate to use this topic if it's the case! If you hesitate to report someone, read again the website rules to make sure the person did something wrong or not.
You can also report people who did something wrong on the MKPC Discord server.

To report a person, enter their nickname (MKPC and/or Discord), describe how they broke the rules, give us proof (for example screenshots) and wait for a moderator or administrator to answer you !

Okay, well, it doesn't matter if you mistakenly report an innocent person, it's worse to not report those "guilty"! So don't hesitate to use this topic.

I will still make you a short list of the most numerous "offenses" under this spoiler:

Spoiler [ShowHide]

- Sending multiple messages on the forum at the same time. (double post, triple post, etc.)
- Sending insults on the forum.
- Creation of alternative accounts.
- Account creation with obscene, homophobic or racist/anti-Semitic nicknames.
- Creation of tracks/arenas with inappropriate images.
etc.

I could add lots of other examples, but in my opinion you understood what kind of things are not allowed on this website ^^
I wrote this list only to help you but remember that the rules are the most precise reference.

Please do not respond to people’s reports, let them make reports, and let mods deal with it. Only respond if you are trying to add further evidence about the report.

Malheureusement, il arrive que des personnes ne respectent pas le règlement de Mario Kart PC et qu'elles ne se fassent pas prendre par des administrateurs/modérateurs. Mais vous pouvez nous aider, si une telle chose se produit, en reportant toutes les personnes qui ne respectent pas le règlement sur ce topic!

N'hésitez pas à utiliser ce topic si c'est le cas! Si vous hésitez à reporter une personne, relisez le règlement pour être sûrs qu'elle a fait quelque chose de mal ou pas.
Vous pouvez également reporter des personnes qui ont fait quelque chose de mal sur le serveur Discord d'MKPC.

Pour reporter une personne, entrez son pseudo (MKPC et/ou Discord), décrivez en quoi elle a enfreint le règlement, donnez nous des preuves (par exemple des captures d'écran) et attendez qu'un membre de l'administration vous réponde!

Bon, après ce n'est pas grave si vous avez par erreur reporté une personne innocente, c'est plus grave de ne pas reporter les personnes "coupables"! Donc n'hésitez pas à utiliser ce topic.

Je vais quand même vous faire une courte liste des "infractions" les plus nombreuses sous ce spoiler:

Spoiler [ShowHide]

- Envoi de plusieurs messages d'affiliée sur le forum. (double-post, triple-post, etc.)
- Envoi d'insultes sur le forum.
- Création de doubles comptes.
- Création de compte avec des pseudos obscènes, homophobes ou racistes/antisémites.
- Création de circuits/arènes avec des images innapropriées.
etc.

Je pourrais rajouter plein d'autres exemples, mais à mon avis vous avez compris quel genre de choses ne sont pas autorisées sur ce site^^
Je n'ai écrit cette liste que pour vous aider mais n'oubliez pas que le règlement est ce qu'il y a de plus précis.

Please use this topic ONLY for reports, and where possible merge reports into 1 post. Any message that isn't a report will be deleted, and sanctions will be given to those that don't follow this.

The only exception to this is if you think a report is unfair and you want to contest it, but you can only do this for yourself. Don't jump in for others.

Also, if there is already a report, there is no need to jump in on it and add another comment like "they also have a bad description" or "they also did this to me". We investigate these sorts of things already.

Btw for newer players, being much faster online is most likely Reverse Drifting (RD) so please don't report those. It is NOT cheating.

Apologies for the lack of activity lately, haven't had too much of a chance to look at this (and also I forgot because I'm stupid).

Few project updates:
- Wii Moo Moo Meadows by RHcks and N64 Choco Mountain by hoppingicon have been accepted
- N64 Wario Stadium by neptunogamer has been added to the Chopping Block


To check out these tracks, look at the 2nd post of the topic. Thanks to everyone who is getting behind the project.

To maybe nobody's surprise, RHcks' new Bowser's Castle has been accepted ✅ into the project.

Sorry for the late reply again, I had problems trying to access MKPC for a week and wasn't bothered checking everything for a bit.



Unfortunately, the track isn't accepted, although it's not bad and is one of the better submissions here. The track is a little over-scaled being about 40 seconds per lap with 100+px wide road at times, which for a track with several long straights just becomes extremely boring to play (even if it is a retro). It also lacks quite a lot of detail and textures to make it visually interesting, especially in the OOB sections. I don't think the lines you drew on the dirt road are a good idea either, though I can appreciate that you put effort into these, a simpler dirt texture with some shading may have been better. Again, not a bad remake though it could be improved a lot. Keep it up.

(also a nitpick but the dirt shortcut in the bottom left doesn't exist in your remake)



I saw the remake briefly. The blue aesthetic is not in the MKWorld remake at all (and since we want faithful recreations it wouldn't have been accepted anyway).



Claimed or not, you're still allowed to remake and submit the track. The first post of the topic explains how this works and the second post shows the track list with the accepted tracks. For KTB, coolmonkey's version is currently accepted, and the link to the track is on that post too.

Hey sorry for the late reply. I do agree that it's much better, although it's still not enough for a full accept. A few easy fixes would be to seriously nerf that "glider" ramp at the beginning of S3 because it just doesn't play well in MKPC at all (although faithful recreations are what we ask for, these small gameplay changes are definitely preferred).

Visually, I think it could use some shading to make it look more "3D", especially in S2 because it looks really flat and somewhat hard to tell what is what. You may want to look at how other tracks use shadows for ideas, because that subtle detail not only helps keep the track interesting to look at, but makes some of the collisions (walls in your case) easier to understand. For example, a shadow under that purple road gives the impression that it is elevated above the grey road.

GBA Yoshi Desert by Coolioaziz is a good example of this (have a look at the pyramid as it's the closest thing to what you should add). Your track is mostly fine, but shading would bring it to a whole new level. Some other areas you may want to consider are the buildings, fences and OOB grass. Not far off at all though.



Yes most likely in the bonus cup, but someone has to make it first, and this track is really hard to make (for reference I spent 20 hours just on CC1, and the TT version would have an image size over double this size). Might be a long time before someone does decide to make it.

This might be a bit pointless, and also would require everyone who does have a track in the project to create another version and probably spend more time extending their image (which may not even work in some cases). But also if the tracks are separated then it's not exactly free roam either, so I can't imagine people wanting to play these tbh.


CC1 is already made and can be found on the track list (2nd post), and CC2 will also be featured once a suitable version of that is made. Either CC3 or CCFull will feature in the bonus cup once that gets figured out.


Not only do intermissions take significantly longer to make due to both their size and the fact that you have to make the actual track + the route + a bit of the starting track, they're also pretty unrewarding to play. There's far less of an incentive to create these since people won't really be playing them, and most of these courses have at least 10+ hours put into them already. The main 32 will just be the 3-lap races, which is also what most people who play MKWorld actually prefer. I won't stop people from making their own intermissions if they want to but it will most likely not feature because I can't imagine people would want to make a high quality intermission let alone all of the GP ones.

Most likely not. Image sizes across the tracks aren't even, it be a massive pain in the ass to program and optimising it will be absolutely awful. I can also see the full image being like 300MB+ so it would probably be terrible to play too.

There are some extra tracks that don't feature in the main cups such as a third variant of Crown City and another track the community calls "Daisy's Palace". There are also some extra SNES tributes on the world map such as the Ghost Valleys that could definitely be used for the bonus cup despite not being properly playable in World.
