    This is the second race made by me, Jester1194. This race can support up to 16 players. The race features nice smooth banked turns, tunnels, jumps, boosts and parts where you have to decide this or that. From my testing of this map I've found the average lap to take anywhere from 1:30 to 1:35. That's obviously a nice smooth lap. If you mess up, well that's your fault. The top speed I recorded was 120. The race has a total of 14 checkpoints The special effects I used were purple and orange because it made the colored objects stand out. On those colored objects I used either green or purple. I picked those two colors because the go very well together. Let's get onto the pictures now. OK?


    Let's start with an overview of the map. You can see we will be traveling across the island and the rest of the race which is above the water.

    Here we have our first banked turn of the race. You can see a green light in the middle of the turn. Just for looks.

    Time to go up our first hill, but why go slow when you can boost!

    Here's our first Split Decision. Will you go up or down?

    Here's a tunnel. Colored green and purple alternating.

    Coming out of the tunnel brings you to this nice S shaped turn.

    Here comes the second Split Decision. Will you go right or left around this nice center piece?

    To the third Split Decision. Up or down again? I know which way I love to go, and you can tell from the picture.

    If you decide to go up get ready for lift off!

    If you go down though you will pass through this very nice looking tunnel. Lights up as you drive through.

    Once making it back onto the island get ready for a jump.

    And finally let's drive back to the start to do it all over again.

    I like the second split decision the best. It is very unique and i like the way you used the large walkway cover. I would give you advice on how to make it better, but honestly, this is a very creative race map that mixes things up with those "split decisions". Hows the Frame Rate?

    Looks pretty nice but the choices dont seem all that different from another, they're either going up or down on the same basic line (like the first split). I would like to see (if you choose to do a second) a more drastic dual route map that evolves around the two choices.. almost like two different maps within a map. Anyways, the map looks smooth and nice. And i like the idea of two routes putting you at the end at the same time. I think you should expand on it.

    Thank you for the complements. I tried making it look nice and play smoothly. As for the frame rate, though I'm not fully sure what you mean by that, is just fine.

    I wasn't trying to make the decisions like a huge difference, but they still make the race interesting. I might try what you're saying at some point, but not right now. I spent a lot of time making this map, and it will probably be some time before I get more ideas. But thank you for saying it looks pretty nice.

    I downloaded, can't wait to try it out. I would deffinately like to see a map like Cobalt Suggested, but obviously if your not up to it. So far it looks nice and as I said can't wait to play it and hopefully make it a regular in my clan activity.

    While is does seem unique in layout, the splits do seem a bit basic. Nonetheless, a well-made track, and is one of my favorites!

    I hope you like it. And if you do I hope your clan likes it too. I'm in a clan, but we kind of focus on multiplayer. Though I am our clans main forger.

    Thank you for saying that. It means a lot when someone really appreciates a map you've made. I'll try making an even better race sometime down the road. Just keep an eye out for my next race I post.
