Mario Kart PC Forum - Advanced search

Cup limit is 40* (160 tracks)

I think I'm ultimate gambler. I know that exists already, but I can't stop winning.

The Top Rated Creations page is very broken (Wargor logic moment)
For example your multicup is followed by Bowsers Maze with 4.89★ and 9 reviews which is simply not accurate for the top 54th creation at all LOL
Not meaning to diss you or anything, 22 reviews is nothing to scoff at but I just want to make things clear.

You definitely should. There aren't really that many tutorials for people to get into it in the first place.

Let me start off by saying at the time of writing this, there are 65K Complete Mode circuits. It is very unrealistic to expect all of them to get a lot of ratings. This has the issue of Mario Maker where there's a lot of people making levels, but nobody that's really playing them. People on this website only tend to talk about themselves/their own creations, which is fine but you can't really expect people to care if you don't care either.

I do agree though that the website should put a larger emphasis on playing custom tracks (custom tracks in general tbh) since gathering online rooms can be quite challenging and GP/VS mode gets kind of boring.


I'm guessing by "non professional" you mean they're made on websites like pixilart which generally speaking are often not very good tracks no. However keep in mind that using websites or software like pixilart or MS Paint is an active choice people make. The "professional" stuff better track creators use is free software. Anyone can download it.


Again, I do somewhat actually agree. Not to brag but since people like me and TheNudgyHampter are at the "top" we do develop somewhat of an elitist attitude so we do tend to make fun of some things. However don't think this applies to just bad tracks since we often make fun of good tracks too even if there's just one thing slightly wrong with it.


I'm going to have to cut you off here, the majority of Retro Rewind's tracks are not good. I don't think it is necessarily a bad project, since it gets less skilled track creators together. Though you can't really expect people to prefer this over MKPC Generations. You guys should strive to improve rather then hate on people who rightfully criticize it.


Honestly I don't really like numbered reviews because anything that doesn't get a near perfect rating immediately becomes 'bad'. 3/5 is not bad, it is literally over 50%. Also, listening to people that make high quality tracks would be wise since they actually know what makes a track good. Ignoring good track creators and calling them 'haters' is like trusting ChatGPT over your doctor. I can understand it being demotivating but you can just take a break. Reflect on what you could've done better and actually listen to criticism. I still do it, even when 20 5★ reviews are not uncommon for me anymore, I still see flaws with my tracks and where to improve.


You shouldn't be concerned about other people. You should make custom tracks for yourself. Most good track creators just make tracks for themselves and if other people like it then it's a bonus. At the end of the day it is your hobby, if you don't get any enjoyment there is no point in doing it.


What you're doing is hide criticism by saying "It's just my artstyle" which is a bad habit many artists have. No, tracks don't have to be ultra realistic or whatever. Puff_with_a_gun's tracks are a great example of having a unique art style that doesn't look bad.


I can understand you're upset but this is just highly immature. If you're hating on stuff for being good then I'm sorry but I don't know how you can't see you're in the wrong here. Review bombing is also against the rules so I highly advice not to.


I don't think many people outside of the Retro Rewind circlejerk will. What I'm currently seeing is you being mad that you're not making top tier tracks and complaining about it instead of trying to improve. Everything I have said in this reply applies to more Retro Rewind creators, so if you are one I reccommend reading this response in full.

If you do want to improve, there are plenty of people you can reach out to for help.


Well said. I see multiple people think that just because they get the right software they'll suddenly magically be able to make good tracks which is simply not the case. Good programs definitely help but it ultimately comes down to the drive of the creator to make something good, which is just completely ignoring the gameplay aspect of custom tracks. RHcks and Nexus' may look really good but they definitely suffer from bad colissions. (no hate to them btw)

Meanwhile, Wii Luigi Circuit and NS2 Great ? Block Ruins look great despite being made in pixilart which is the stereotypical 'bad track site'.

Yes, it being more advanced is exactly the reason we have it in the first place. That's why you use Complete Mode instead of Quick Mode.



I think one huge misconception people have about custom tracks is that they're a custom level like Mario Maker. This, however, is not the case. Custom tracks are instead a form of art, and art takes time and dedication.



Quick Mode is supposed to be the easy/casual mode, hence why it's very simple. Adding more features is a waste of time since Complete Mode is right there.



I'm not sure you realise how big of a task this is. The website is almost entirely updated by one man (Wargor) and I'd say there's a lot of other things that should be prioritized over Quick Mode updates, especially since Complete Mode is right there. While I don't think making the graphics would be too big of an issue (since SNES and GBA use tiles anyway, though DS themes would need to be entirely custom made) someone still has to do it and I've not seen anyone up to the task.

This is not even mentioning how much Wargor will have to code for CPU routes and checkpoints to work on these new tiles. Maybe it's easy, I don't know, I can't program, but I'd say it's a safe bet to say that it isn't simple. Basically what Nodac is trying to say if he wasn't a jackass.


I'm not really sure what you mean with this so correct me if I'm wrong. Some themes already come with walls. Unless you mean these are more decorative tiles, but if you've seen the Quick Mode versions of tracks like Shroom Ridge or Airship Fortress then you'd know that these look really ugly in practice.



Again, completely pointless for reasons I already stated earlier.




What makes you think this new mode won't be equally repetitive? As long as it's all premade assets it'll never look or feel original. Again bringing out Mario Maker as an example: despite having many elements you can use you can't really say any level stands out from a visual standpoint.



In conclusion, use Complete Mode. If you think it's too time consuming then I'm sorry but I don't think this is the right medium meant for you.

Message farming is just an outdated term, however the problem still persists. Removing message count was only a tiny part of the issues with the forum.

Fact of the matter is that people use the forums instead of playing the game. Part of it is the website's fault, the other part is the community's.

In my opinion, forums should only be for MKPC related topics but that's not my decision to make.

People be doing anything but talk about the track

This track may look simple, but it's actually quite challenging due to having multiple shroomless cuts (AKA niscs (no item shortcuts)) and tiny boost panels at the end which do kind of blend in with the road. You can also Target Shock people on the jumps, which makes this track very funny on team mogis.

However, despite the excellent gameplay the visuals aren't super great and I'm a visual guy grr. The road is barely textured and as mentioned earlier, the boosts kinda blends in with it. Off road doesn't have shading as well as the houses (or mansions if you compare them to the decoration houses). Wish the houses also had distinct identities rather than them both looking the same. There's also the RHcks trees which I've grown to despise over the years (please make your own assets, you're never getting good like this) and I'm not a fan of how the SNES blocks are implemented either. Also feel like there should be background overrides. Speaking of the background, poor Toads are too large to fit their own door. Decors look alright though I do feel like this track has a few too many, my game lagged a couple times during my Time Trials.

Anyway I know I ranted about the visuals for most of the review but most of those are nitpicks and this is still a really good track with superb gameplay.

Try Steam's Big Picture Mode, though you will need an adaptor to USB.

I'm noticing you make a lot of topics without actually partaking in them.

What are you grinding for?

pp slide

Sorry to burst your bubble but you can not fit every track inside a multicup as you'll hit the limit (40 cups) before you get to every track.

I'd say 👻 Ghost Valley 3 is my favourite from the base tracks. I think it plays the best with this game's physics.

No offense but this is not going to take off. This exact multicup already exists. Twice.

The projects you're looking for are:

    • MKPC Generations (high quality tracks)
    •  Retro Rewind (lower quality tracks, reccomended if you're a beginner)

I like most of these except Toad and Toadette. I like their pogging faces, I'm kinda mixed on Koopa too.

Hammer Bro is definitely the character who needed an updated sprite the most cus my god, the current one is terrible.

Look at the second message of this topic. The message gets updated whenever a track gets accepted. (I double checked, all the information is still accurate.)
Though I feel like all the 'Work in Progress' statusses should be removed as alot of track creators (including myself) either took a break or haven't progressed in said track for a very VERY long time.

But yeah there hasn't been much progress lately besides Bowser's Castle

Visuals lack alot of detail
Colissions are terrible

Please compare your tracks to other accepted tracks before submitting

For anyone asking "Can I make ___?", you don't need permission to make a track. Just make the tracks you want to make and if they're good enough submit them here.
