Now this is confusing. The validator said this exact feedback:

You're not allowed to make tracks on the same tracks as the Mario Kart PC multicup roster.

Track: Cheep Cheep Island R https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?i=166549

Spoiler [ShowHide]
Challenge details
Complete the track in VS mode, in 100cc mirror class, with 9 participants, in medium mode, by falling at most 1 time, in 4th place or better, without being hit by a red shell or a poison mushroom
No teams
Name: Erin's Grotto
Difficulty: Difficult


This is confusing because the map was rotated, the music isn't the original, there are Goombas, there is custom music, and I'm not the only person who made the same track as the Mario Kart PC multicup roster! What's even more, it's the reverse variant!


Most likely the "R" wasn't seen by the validator, if you rebeat it I can fix it (challenges might be downgraded to medium difficulty).

Btw rotating the image doesn't count towards anything since the image is still technically the same, and the goombas and custom music are a bit debatable. It's mainly the R variant part that would let this slide.
To be honest I didn't quite understand the "Don't copy MKPC tracks rules, if it has some changes to make it harder or easier it doesn't count" rule or smth like that. My apologies.

To be fair the current rules are pretty outdated and at times unclear so maybe I should work on a new set (that totally wasn't proposed several years ago).

The current rules are okay but easily confuse people, there should be an entire rework of the rules tbh.

Why do you always change the challenge difficulty to easy?

Most likely because the challenge is actually easy.

For example, I've seen some challenges recently that have a time limit of 1:30 requested as "difficult", but can be beaten in half of that without really trying. So of course we need to downgrade the difficulty.

Because the difficulty you set for your challenge isn't accurate to the real difficulty of the challenge.

The help menu for challenges says:
- A challenge easy has to be feasible for a beginner.
- A challenge medium is typically difficult for a beginner but easy for an experimented player.
- A challenge difficult  would be difficult for an experimented player but completable in several trials.
- A challenge extreme will require to try-hard even for an experimented player.
- A challenge impossible  will require to try-hard and may typically take several hours (or even days) before succeeding.

That's approximatively the rules I follow to validate challenges.

Thank you for apologizing! Did you see that it was the R variant? The reason why I chose Cheep Cheep Island R is because at the time I created it, it was the only water course I had as grottoes have water.
