Hello. I’m noticed a lot of people making topics like this, where they rate others tracks. So I figured that I’d make one exclusively for retro tracks.
This is simple, you send me retro tracks and I rate them using a system.
Here are the factors that I will grade on:
Gameplay _/35. This is just does the track play well.
Visual _/25. Does the track look good and fit a style. (Also is the image original and not stolen).
Is it a faithful recreation OR does it add to the original _/30 This depends on if the track is meant to replicate the original, or reimagine it. Depending on which one it is, you will either be graded on how faithful of a recreation it is, or how much it adds to the original while still being the track.
Miscellaneous _/10 This is just general stuff. For example, backgrounds, music, readability.
This leads to a general rating system out of a 100. With the following grading system.
S (99-100)
A (90-98 )
B(80-89)
C(70-79)
D(60-69)
F(0-59)
There are also rules because people always break obvious rules when I fail to establish them.
Rule 1: Must be a retro. The track must be a retro of an official nintendo track, no recreations from other racing games or a remake of your nitros.
Rule 2: No spamming. Don’t submit all of your retros at once. Submitting more than 3 at a time will lead to your tracks having a lower chance at being reviewed.
Rule 3: Must be your own tracks: You cannot submit tracks that are stolen, the most common example is the base image being stolen.
Rule 4: Must be complete mode: No quick mode tracks, they’re way to simple I don’t want to give out a ton of low scores.
Rule 5: Follow Forum Rules: This is self explanatory, make sure your track follows forum rules.
Rule 6: Don’t complain: If your track gets a low score, it’s not because I’m purposely hating on you, usually I try to give constructive criticism
to help you improve.
Anyways submit your retros and I’ll rate them.

Gameplay 32/35. Overall, the track plays good, it’s got some fun gimmicks, I really like the trick able bumps in the moon
Visual 22/25. It looks good overall, but some parts are blurry. The fact that you added more unique sections visually boosted the score here.
Is it a faithful recreation OR does it add to the original 28/30 This is a great rendition of SNES Rainbow Road, I like the fact that you added new sections to make the track interesting. I do kinda wish that the thwomps were a different color, it would be more accurate if they were rainbow
Miscellaneous 9/10 The general aspects are really good, but not perfect.
Final score: 91/100 A

Gameplay 31/35. I think it’s just my monkey brain, but I just like doing all the tricks on the ramps.
Visual 19/25. I’m not a huge fan of the style, but the colors are nice.
Is it a faithful recreation OR does it add to the original 26/30 This is a good recreation of the original n64 version, (the better one) I think it would be interesting if there were rising tides that allow for you to occasionally take a tighter line.
miscellaneous 9/10 The music is good
Final score: 85/100 B
Both of these were solid tracks.
