★ Amazing Creator #1: NexusX ★

Name: @NexusX
Profile Link: https://mkpc.malahieude.net/profil.php?id=43700

I'd like to start this topic with one of my favourite creators that isn't always the first name that comes to mind, but certainly is someone who I think perfectly fits the description of an amazing track creator nonetheless, NexusX!

★ Some Of His Work ★

Nexus is really good at making both nitro tracks and retro tracks, with Rainbow Road being my favourite nitro track from Nexus, and honestly my favourite Rainbow Road in the entirety of MKPC! I think of Celeste's Chapter 9: Farewell when I play this. There's beautiful fuzzy rainbow clouds, the colour gradients of space look so peak in this track, and the aesthetics are amazing

My favourite retro circuit Nexus has created is Mario Bros. Circuit. There's no surprise as to why this track is in the Top 5 Top Rated Complete Mode Circuits on the entire site, this track is an awesome recreation of the first track from Mario Kart World. It's simple, aesthetically pleasing, has fun gameplay and is replayable - pretty much what you want in a great MKPC track

★ Special Skill I Really Like ★

A skill that I see Nexus have that really makes his tracks stands out is that he makes really good textures for his roads and other surfaces of the tracks. A lot of other creations use solid colours or default pdn textures with no adjustments whatsoever, but all these roads have lots of effort put into them and is one of the many components of the awesome tracks he creates

Go check out @NexusX's creations and give him your 5/5's fr

★ Introduction ★

Hello there! I'm Hazel, I joined MKPC in 2022 and have been playing this game for the past 4 years. MKPC has helped me meet some genuinely awesome people who have helped shape who I am today

★ What Is This Topic About? ★

But enough about me! This topic is my way of showing appreciation to those who make amazing content for this game, which makes it so fun to play and come back to even today up to this very moment!
Note: This topic is inspired by @ambersillygal's topic called Underrated/Upcoming Multicups, which I highly recommend you go check out

Every so often, I'll showcase a talented creator who I believe makes (or has made) really amazing tracks and/or arenas by showing some of their creations, what I really like about their creations and I'll also link their profile here too so you can see their awesome creations for yourself - you may see some hidden gems

I will also be editing this first message on the topic that you're reading right now to include all of the people I have mentioned so far, if you want to just skip to playing absolute peak

What can we do to improve the multicup?

2/5 because GCN Baby Park is just a stretched circle

Depends how you decide to word your opinion, if you 1/5 without any reason then its considered a troll rating. If you hate on a track for no good reason then it's just hating on it  

The key is how you say things

Ah yes, I got a warning on mkpc and instead of privately discussing it with a moderator to see what went wrong, I'm going to whine and complain about it on the forums because that will mean the moderators will approach me with context as to why and absolutely nothing will go wrong by doing this

Five Pebbles: "Let me check if you have a brain real quick.."

When someone deletes their own track, if it's in a cup then it deletes the whole cup

It's actually 3DS Toad Circuit that got deleted

Also SNES tracks because SNES needs some love too

I don't do school anymore I'm finished

University starts on September 19th I think?

Welcome back to MKPC! I hope you had a nice break and feeling refreshed, and I hope you enjoy it here too!


There have been quite a few changes on the site as of recently, including the /!\ DEPARTURE, COMEBACK OR HIATUS NOTICES / ANNONCES DE DÉPARTS, DE RETOURS OU DE PAUSES topic for anyone leaving or returning to MKPC - please use that topic in the future for any leavings/returnings, but welcome back!

As of today, I have gotten the 9th and possibly final thing I'll get on this checklist

It's interesting to see the different goals I had in such a long time ago - I never expected to become a moderator until as of recent, and I am now

Thank you for everyone who supported me or even just kept me company, I'm happy to be part of this community and I would not be who I am today as a person without you all :3

This topic will now be locked, as I do not believe I will get any more stuff on this checklist done due to impossibly unrealistic expectations or stuff being outright impossible (like Forum king mario) thank you

I just realised this is actually a really good question has been left unanswered, so I'll give a response to this question and it could be helpful for anyone else that has the same question (sorry for the really long wait)

★ How The Rule Is Approached ★

By unseeable shortcuts, I'm pretty sure you're referring to this rule:

BowserJr03 wrote:

7 - SECRETS FOR SPEED
If you add invisible shortcuts or ways to become faster to get a better time for a challenge, then it's cheating.

This rule applies for hidden shortcuts that were added intentionally in a way that only the creator of the track is supposed to know - and nobody else

The reason for that is so the creator can upload a very hard (or outright unbeatable) challenge for anyone attempting the challenge, but really easy for the creator to upload. We see this as unfair, because it can lead to the creator farming challenge points for much less effort than the people beating these challenges legitimately

TLDR: Intentionally adding invisible or inaccessible shortcuts and/or methods (like a boost) to save time is considered cheating and will lead to the rejection of the challenge

★ What About Unintentional Shortcuts? ★

More often than not, if your track has unintentional shortcuts that players can access and it makes the challenge easier, we can still accept your challenge - just wort a lower difficulty rating, because we don't see unintentional shortcuts as cheating, but rather just an oversight by the creator of the track and challenge

We may still sometimes reject the challenge if it's a really easy shortcut that completely breaks the challenge - like for example: if there was only one checkpoint in the whole track, then players can camp on the finish line to end the race in milliseconds, defeating the purpose of the challenge

Also, you don't really have to worry about whether a shortcut may appear intentional or not, we can usually tell the difference between them

If your challenge has been accepted with a lower difficulty rating than you wanted it to be due to unintentional shortcuts, and you fix these shortcuts, then please reach out to a validator about revalidating your challenge and we'll adjust the difficulty rating if it needs adjusting

No, because vore is commonly known as a type of f*tish content. This is inappropriate and we won't accept this. There's kids on this site

★ Response To Good Question ★

Hi @RaymondAllStars this is actually our most common reason to reject challenges uploaded, and this is actually a really good question, because how do you make a challenge harder in a good way?

★ Why We Don't Include Difficulty Improving Suggestions In Rejections ★

Firstly, the reason why we don't give suggestions for challenges under rule #4 is because there are many different conditions that can be applied to a challenge, and multiple different conditions work for making the challenge harder in their own unique ways. We simply don't tell you which conditions to use because we may suggest things you would not like for your challenge and suggesting a bunch of different solutions is very long to type out considering the large number of challenges that validators go through at times

Despite this, if your challenge gets rejected you will always 100% of the time get a reason as to why your challenge got rejected, I'll suggest some good ways to up the difficulty of certain challenges below:

★ Difficulty Boosting Constraints ★

I won't list every possible constraint for every possible challenge, I'll just list off some main ones for the sake of time:

Complete the Track:
• If the track has holes, you could include "By falling at maximum x times"
• You could include: "in under x time
• If a challenge has interesting decors, you could include "without touching (decor)

Complete a Lap:
• Pretty much the same stuff as Complete the Track
• You could experiment with driving backwards, or whilst in rear view etc.

Finish in the 1st position:
• You could include constraints that restrict your item usage, like: "without using items"
• Constraints that force the player not to be hit, like: "without being hit by (item)

Reach Zone:
• Make the zone difficult to reach if it's an obstacle course challenge, or make it hard to find if it's a puzzle (but still have hint(s))
• Adding a time limit
• Avoiding certain (indicated) zones

Thank you @CookieBiscuit for suggesting something with coins

Something tells me that using the ramp at the start can send you over the invisible walls because their height is probably tiny, alongside how you can literally get to the bridge early if you go to the corners
