=== Course Showcase - Mini-Land ===

Today's Showcase is all about Mini-Land, an iconic theme park full of Minis and Mayhem!



Based on the Mario VS. Donkey Kong series, Mini-Land has you racing around the titular Theme Park from the DS Game Mario VS. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem, riding through several of the park's wild attractions.



The course is built of the different attractions from the DS Game. In fact, most course elements are pulled directly from the game itself; The red girders of Coaster Hills, Jumpy Jungle's bounciest springs, the conveyors of Teatime Twirl, the pipes from Warped Mansion, and Cannon Cove's finest launchers.



Personally, there's one aspect of this track I like in particular: the Shortcuts. Nearly every attraction has a Shortcut tucked away that can help you take home the gold! (One of which I must say is incredibly broken lmao)



Mini-Land is open right now, and the first 100 Guests will receive a free Mini-Pauline toy!!

The Mario Toy Company is not liable or legally responsible for any damage physical or otherwise caused by any incident or wild ape attack that may arise from promotional events held within or around the park.

=== Announcement - New Course ===

Its time to unveil the 7th Track of MMGP: Mushroom Highway!



This nighttime track will have you reach insane speeds across the expansive highway, before being launched into a bustling city full of life. Mushroom Highway is available to play now!

=== Announcement - Yoshi Isle overhaul and Battle Arena ===

Happy almost-easter! To celebrate, I'm excited to announce that Yoshi Isle has gotten the Star Treatment, with a brand new redesign!



Its design is now much more faithful to the original Yoshi's Island game, with generic decors like sidesteppers and snowpeople being replaced with enemies from the original game.

And if that wasn't enough, a Battle Mode version of the track has been made available to play. Try it out here:

That's all for now!

=== Course Showcase - Yoshi Isle ===

Happy Yoshi Tour everybody! What better way to celebrate peak fiction then with a look at the MMGP track based on the best character of all time: Yoshi Isle!



This track is a lovechild between Mario Kart's two Yoshi Island-based tracks: GCN Baby Park and Yoshi's Island. This course takes the enclosed tightly-packed insanity of Baby Park, and throws it behind a Yoshipilled backdrop. (Yes I just said Yoshipilled)



With 2 sets of crossroads and only a few turns between them, racers will be facing head-on collisions with each other and an barrage of items as they navigate the Island.



You can play on Yoshi Isle now by itself, or as part of the new Crossover Cup, which features 3 other courses from different Mario Games/Spinoffs:

=== Announcement: New Drivers, Challenges and Updates! ===

Big news today, as I'm unveiling a new batch of playable characters in MMGP: Koopa Shells!



Based on their appearance in New Super Mario Bros. DS, the Koopa Shells come in four colours, each unlockable through achieving a perfect score in each of the the four Bonus Cups, one of which being the newly released Crossover Cup, which you can complete now:

https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?cid=34577

Btw, I'm not saying which Shell you'll get for completing the Cup, that's for you to find out!

In other news, the 6 pre-existing tracks are currently being updated with QOL improvements and new challenges, with each MMGP track set to have 3 each. As for the QOL, expect the tracks to get visual upgrades, cool animations, and more liveliness in the coming days. That's all for now!

=== Announcement: Miniland and Crossover Cup ===

Hey everybody, today's announcement is pretty special, since not only do I have a new track to reveal, but also MMGP's first cup too!

First things first, we're talking about the new MMGP track: Miniland!



Based on the Mario VS. Donkey Kong series (More specifically Miniland Mayhem), Miniland has you racing through the titular themepark, facing obstacles, mechanics, and enemies from the game series, and you can play it here now:

https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?i=98714

But we'll talk more on Miniland later on, lets turn our attention to the NEW Crossover Cup!

As the name suggests, the Crossover Cup will feature all the MMGP Courses based on certain Mario Games/Spinoffs, the lineup for which includes:

Sarasaland Speedway
Miniland
Last Resort
Yoshi's Isle

You can play the Crossover Cup now here:
https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?cid=34577

We haven't discussed most of these courses yet, but rest assured they're all going to get their own Spotlight soon. Also, MMGP already has a planned track/cup order. So this Cup won't probably won't have much significance in the overall Multicup, just a fun side bonus.

One last note, Miniland was the last of a batch of 6 Courses I was working on, so this means there might not be any new tracks for a while. However, you can expect updates and new challenges for the pre-existing courses, so be sure to keep an eye out. And if you have any ideas for improving the tracks, please let me know. That's all for now!

Oh yes that's true, but I wanted to let people adjust the sizes of things like the Decors, which I don't think you can alter from a Decor received from a link

As part of this Topic, I'll be posting Course Showcases of each of the tracks over the Course of MMGP's development, the first of which we're doing today!

=== Course Showcase - Last Resort ===

“Welcome to The Last Resort, home of the most memorable vacations ever had!”



Luigi's Mansion Rep is always a W in Mario Kart, so why not work the location of Luigi's Mansion 3 into a track? Last Resort has you zip around the halls and rooms of the Haunted Hotel, navigating tight turns, ghost-trolleys, spinning ballrooms and many other ghastly tricks and traps.



But of course, no Ghost track is complete without a few ghosts, which is why Hellen Gravely from Luigi's Mansion 3 also makes an appearance in MMGP as an unlockable driver!



Now, Hellen Gravely isn't quite ready to hit the track yet, so her final design might be a bit different, and of course, she is not currently available. However Last Resort is up and running, and can be played now here!

Hello! This is my first time on the Forums, and I have absolutely no clue if I'm not doing this right (Because chances are I am definitely not lol) so please have mercy on me-

But anyways, this topic is dedicated to my first ever Multi-cup, Maken Moozac's Grand Prix!

MMGP is a Multicup of 16 completely original courses, alongside a plethora of Challenges and Unlockable Characters. As of starting this Topic, MMGP is still in active development. I'll be using this Topic to share all things MMGP, including upcoming content and announcements, as well as interacting with other players for feedback/suggestions, all of which are welcome!

MMGP is available to play now, right here:

I don't really hate any of the courses, but some of the SNES and DS tracks feel way too scaled down, SNES GV3 and DS Rainbow Road in particular

although I do absolutely suck at gp lmao

I recommend you start with small, simple tracks and work your way up. Creating Custom Courses, like any artform, is a skill you get better at the more you do it!

Another tip is to always test your course layouts before you start adding details. Draw out the path of the track as a simple line, and then use that as a test. Because the design is simple, you can alter it easily and reupload the image to keep testing it. This way, you can see if your track is the right size and is fun to play without having to worry about all the details.

Once you're happy with your test design, you can start adding all the visual details and extra stuff!

Funnily enough, I'm actually well involved in the Mario Kart Tour Datamining Scene, and for the better part of a year we've been able to predict new Courses and Tours based on special IDs that are assigned to each Course in the files, and so far nearly all of our predictions have been correct.

We call it "ID Theory" and if interests anyone here, this sheet has basically everything you need to know, in addition to links to other useful stuff:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11WPa8NRWpR6Wir1XHPylsu7HDJPGsUYhbX_Cf0E4b7E/edit#gid=1242477125

Now while this sheet is mainly speculation, we do have a high accuracy rate, so it probably contains spoilers for future Mario Kart Tour content, so proceed with caution if you don't want anything spoiled.

For example, ID Theory indicated to us months ago that the next Tour could possibly be

The Quick Mode Track Builder has a lot of restrictions and limitations, which includes not being able to place whatever items/obstacles you want (You can only place Mario Circuit obstacles on Mario Circuits, etc.)

The only solution would be to use Complete Mode, which does require more work as you need to manually input everything (CPU Routes, Walls, etc.) but it will give you a lot more creative freedom, including placing down obstacles from any course you want.

Now, Complete Mode requires a picture of the course you want to make, which you can draw yourself, but a trick many use is making the outline of the course in Quick Mode, screenshotting it, and then putting using that as the photo. hope this helped.

unfortunately this isn't real, it was a joke for funny april day
