    Delfino Square!
    A remake of the MarioKart: DS map Delfino Square - a very fun racetrack which went around the streets of Delfino and a grass courtyard.

    The majority of the map layout is very close to the original Delfino Square. However, with this being Halo Reach mongoose racing, I've selectively altered the layout of the race to be more exciting for the typical MarioKart racing on the 360 (the additions were mainly floor boosters and an added street in the cross-streets of Delfino).

    I really hope everyone enjoys my remake of Delfino Square. I know that it is not 100% exact, but remember that some of this was intentional to make racing on Reach more enjoyable. I'd like to thank everyone who helped me test out this map, including Miss Giggity (she's racing with me above), Nate4Jesus, ScrubFingers, SkinsTime83, InfiniteSpecOps and InfiniteSpecOps' Guest.

    I loved snaking in Mario Kart DS, come at me, bro. I also enjoyed this map, it seems that you had to build around the grass courtyard because of the terrain having to match with the rest of the map. Love the nostalgia you brought back, downloading.

    Yeah - that is why I chose the place to forge it that I did.

    I liked being able to use that grass for the courtyard with the added benefit of having an auto-killzone (the water) for the parts on the far end of the map.

    Of course, then i went and spent 500$ on fake grass overtop the real grass for decoration.

    Thanks for the download! and i hope you enjoy. I never owned the DS, but I always loved playing this map when I could.

    Had to play Mario Kart wii with my little bro the last few days, and I have to admit that it's very inspiring. Definitely hoping to see many great race tracks inspired by that game.

    On topic: I need to check this out for realz. It's not the most detailed, but I need to learn looks aren't everythin. (For maps) It seems to be pretty accurate, aside from the draw bridge which can not be recreated in this game. I'd love to check this out tomorrow.

    I loved Delfino Square like a fat kid likes cake. Thank you for this. Oh, and when you put put InfiniteSpecOps in the credits, I read it as Sp3cOps. You'll find out who that is later.

    Haha - thanks for the compliments. I'm glad the map still brings back nostalgia even with my customization.

    Uh-Oh.
