Mario Kart PC Forum - Advanced search

I've never done great in one of these contests, but I might as well participate just for the fun of it. (But I'm gonna warn you, my tracks are a lot better when I don't feel the need to rush myself. Expect something mid at best.)

I've been wondering this for about a year, but what's the Advent Calendar event on MKPC?

So I'm supposed to just pray for the best? 'Cause I've been playing MKPC for almost 5 years.

Since this topic is still alive, can somebody please give me LEGITIMATE TIPS on how to beat the Special and Mini Cups that aren't just RD and "git good"?

I'm really hoping it's just an April Fools joke, 'cause the original had no much more character.

I've looked for the most unique track in each past entry, and the remaining courses in the Mushroom Cup will be 3 of these:
C64 Chilly Waters
CoCo Riverside Park
CDS Bob-Omb Battlefield (honestly, don't expect this to return)
CWii Hot Dry Dunes
NMKC Mario Bros.
Pro Enchanted Forest
SD Rocky Canyon
I know none of y'all care, but I care, so I'm gonna keep at this project just for the sake of fixing past mistakes. And if you have your favorites of what I just listed above, feel free to let me know.

The first track in the Archive is out now! If you have any recommendations for what I should add to the list, leave a comment.

For those not in the know, my Mario Kart Complete series has had a rocky history. The first 5 games were garbage, the first two entries of the reboot were okay, and the third saved it before I completely lost motivation to make any more entries.
The plan was to get back in the scene with a new Mario Kart Complete game with one track released at a time (remember Spiny Pyramid?) eventually combined into one multicup. However, with a Mario Kart World remake taking priority in the summer, and me not knowing how long it would take to get that new Mario Kart Complete game finished in time, I decided to go back to an old project to pass the time.
Mario Kart Complete: The MysteryMan Archive
This will consist of a bunch of remade tracks from the following Mario Kart Complete games:
1. Mario Kart Complete
2. Mario Kart Complete 64
3. Mario Kart Complete: Consoles Collide
4. Mario Kart Complete DS
5. Mario Kart Complete Wii
6. New Mario Kart Complete
7. New Mario Kart Complete Pro
8. New Mario Kart Complete: Super Dash
About 80% of those tracks are borderline unplayable. (That number goes way up if we remove the entire New trilogy.) That's why I wanna give them the modern remake they deserve.
The first one on this list will be my first Complete Mode track ever: Mario Circuit from MKC1. The rest will be up to you. Try to play these without losing your mind, and decide which ones would be best for the MysteryMan Archive. While I'm mostly open to your picks, try to avoid tracks that:
a. Are based on simple geometry
b. Are named after a pre-existing Mario Kart track (unless it's a circuit, Bowser's Castle, Rainbow Road, or from MKC: Consoles Collide)
c. Were recently remade in a past version of this project that was later cancelled (as seen in the Mario Kart Complete: Revival demo)
d. Have a map that's clearly not made from scratch
I'll try to take everyone's selections into consideration, but there's no guarantee it'll receive a faithful remake if I think it's beyond fixing.
(I'm also not guaranteeing it won't be cancelled like my other recent projects unfortunately. I'll try to commit though.)
You'll find all those multicups on my profile. Have fun suffering, and wish me luck as I try to fix these disasters.

This is an old one (from 2021's NMKC: Super Dash) but it's by far one of the better Rainbow Roads I've made. I think a remake with smoother turns, graphics, and more decor would do it some good. Other than that, I'm really proud of the sky aesthetic, and the music I chose.

Paint/Paint 3D is also very accessible, but not very smooth. If you want better-looking maps but don't mind putting a bit more effort into it, I suggest using Inkscape once you have more experience. If you want textures though, I can't help you with that. But good luck with your custom tracks.

I might be stepping down from the project. I've just been feeling so lazy this past week so I haven't gotten any more work done on Mario Bros. Circuit, and I think I'd rather just focus on original tracks than do heavy research on courses that aren't even out yet. I haven't made a final decision yet, but it's on my mind.

Here's what I have for Mario Bros. Circuit so far.

No clue when I'm gonna finish, especially since I have an original track I started working on too.

Good point. I've been using Inkscape for the MBC map, but there might be a different program we're all supposed to use.

Sign me up then!
I'll start working on Mario Bros. Circuit once I'm caught up on schoolwork.

Oh, of course not. I'll make them all from scratch on Inkscape. A couple more things I wanna ask:
1. Do you want me to make just the main courses, or the roads between them too?
2. Is there a certain order you want me to create them in, or should I just do whatever track I feel like as I go?

When you say "Super Mario Kart World" do you mean a simple MKPC port, or an SNES-styled version? If it's the former, I'll gladly consider creating the maps for ya.

For years, I've been telling myself I'm perfectly okay with my Wii Mini, but I think the release of a brand new console is the perfect time to upgrade.
Especially if a 24-player Mario Kart game with a beautiful Southwestern-themed track is available AT LAUNCH! 😍
Only problem: Why does DK seem to have his movie design?
