    Yup that's right. I finally finished it completely. No more bugs to fix and no more final touches.

    If you've ever played Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for Game Cube, then you already pretty much know what to expect. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of playing it, it's the last track of the game. It includes jumps, turns, twists, and pretty much everything else! Of course I couldn't create an exact replica of the track, but I did my best and I believe the results are outstanding!
    Here is what the original map looked like.

    Although the map is very awesome looking though, don't think it's going to be all fun and games. It is an extremely hard track so you gotta know how to drive a mongoose/ghost like a pro. If you finish a lap without falling the first try I would be amazed.

    But other than the difficulty, this track is very fun and can be cool with a lot of people. I made custom game types for the map ("100cc" and "150cc") which both offer different vehicles. 100cc makes it so the vehicles are mongooses, but 150cc makes it so they are ghosts. "Double Dash" could also work, but I would have to do some alterations (Which I probably will in the near future.) Once I fix it up for that game variant, I'll add it to this post.
    Download "100cc"
    Download "150cc"
    All the pics you need are attached to the link above in the "File Set" (A new feature added to the community files on Bungie). If you have any questions other than "How teh *beep!* didz u d00 taht!?!?11one!1" then go ahead and post them here. If you have any problems with the map please let me know so I can see what I can do about it. (BTW to complete the first jump every time, hitting the booster is your best bet. If you don't hit the booster, your chances of making it across are good but not great.)

    Soon I'll be putting together a small preview of the map on YouTube and when I do this spot will be taken up by it.

    First off, great job. this is prbbly the first race map on blackout i've ever seen. I realize that it must've been pretty difficult to get everythng to stay together like that and I will DL and rate later.

    Dang I really like this. I use to love to play Mario Kart and this was one of my favorite tracks. The post was very good too but you need to put some more pictures up. I would like to see more of your art work. It is even cool you made the Mario Kart Gametypes to go with it. I hope you make more Mario Kart maps in the future.

    5/5 since I just love this concept, the ideas, and your job on copying the map..
    On the Spiral part, I would recommend man cannons and gravity lifts. Although I haven't played and you may have it, good job :D.

    You need more pics. Its hard to tell much about the track.

    However, the interlocked slope you created is very professional and I like how it is tilted in a little. This looks fun and challenging. I will DL and race my friend on it. We should have fun knocking eachother off the track!

    Holy Crap. This is awesome. This was my absolute favorite map in mario kart, which was my absolute favorite game. I'm so glad to see this, more maps from that game would be sweet.

    You realize that Rainbow Road was on the original Mario Kart, right?

    Now you can see the whole map in one pic, but in no absolute way can I see details! Hint hint, more pics! This map looks good and the fact that you can fall to your death just adds a little more excitement to it! I like the layout of the track and the forging design of the map! Good job, but next time a better post of your map!

    This looks really good. I have played Mario Kart, and Rainbow Road is the hardest level. Your map looks great. It just looks like a ton of work went into it. It's really harde doing the floating, so I think this is an amazing job. 5/5!

    Thanks for the nice words people and yea I figured the overview would be good enough. I'll add more pics asap.

    Yea I'm now trying to make "Sherbert Land" on Avalanche. It's barely started, but it'll get there :D

    wow this map looks very fun. All the twists and turns make it look very smooth and fun. The map looks like it would be a little bit hard. From what i can see, the map layout is very unique. Maybe add some more picks though. 4.8/5

    4.8/5 lol nice rating :D But yea I definitely gotta get better at the whole "Map description/pics" concept. It seems to be something this community craves.

    I thought that the track was incredibly beautiful and a good remake. My huge problem though is that the fact that your in ghosts made it bad. I tried racing on it and everybody fell off no matter how slow you go. If it doesnt work well with mongooses then you may want to consider a v2.

    Yea the ghosts are for those who want the extra challenge. If you download the game type "100 cc" included in the original post, mongooses will spawn instead of ghosts. I must warn you though, it's still pretty hard. Definitely easier, but not easy.

    MAN I love this track. I love all tracks on blackout(usually). Fun to race on and fun to just drive around on when you are waiting for friends to get on. The interlocking is clean(from what I can remember it was dark) and the jumps are the best. All my friends love it.You sir should make more race maps on blackout, maybe weaving through the actual map of blackout, that would be so EPIC! 5/5 on the map!

    EDIT:
    Yoshi's Circuit All the Way!

    And yea my next map I'm going to make with a friend - Don't know what map, but we're either going to try and make Sherbert Land on Avalanche or Yoshi's Circuit from Double Dash on some map.

    You relized you just spammed right?

    Agreed I would love to seem more pics on this map. It seems like you put so much effort into the map but just rushed and got it posted honestly I cant read the text since its yellow. Most of the people on this website use old school so I suggest using black text since it stands out on all themes, or blue.

    I like the look of the map though, it looks very original, I would just work on improving the post
    NIce job

    It's a fun track except for a few things i noticed, one the ghosts never respawn so pretty much if you fall off you're screwed, and when you do fall off You get sent to the "fail jail" On the other hand if you don't fall off it's a very well made map and very accurate to rainbow road, if i'm not mistaken it's the one from the Game cube right?
