    Map Name: Banshee Boardwalk

    This is a remake of one of my all-time favorite Mario Kart 64 tracks, Banshee Boardwalk.

    Backstory:
    I was playing Mario Kart on my DS and decided to recreate one of those maps. (Creative right?) So, I was going through the Grand Prix, snaking my way all the way through every map and decided to remake this one. So simple yet really fun to play. I do realize there are some scaling issues on some of the parts, but I am absolutely out of resources. Crypto suggested that I put it in the water, and he even found a spot that looked like it would work. I was transferring it to that spot, and about half way through I realize that a natural rock completely cut-off the track. It was already being squished to fit that area, so I decided to just keep it in the air. Well, that's about it, hope you guys enjoy it as much as the real thing.

    Starting Point: Snuggly fits 6 people

    House with Star Hole (Definitely the hardest part):

    "Bat" Cage:

    Turn/Final Straight:

    Protip #1: Drifting/Power Sliding
    On a lot of turns, the angled turn before the bridge especially, drifting is essential to effectively making the turn.

    Protip #2: Spawning Forward
    I am not sure why people are having problems with this, but it needs to be addressed. If you fall off and die, please look forward when spawning to ensure you don't fall again. There was no fix for this. I mean, in another race, you don't want to spawn sideways on the track, right?

    Constructive criticism encouraged and just let me know how I did.*

    That is an okay map for making a racing map. you made it good so you might want to make a mario kart gametype for it.

    I was thinking about doing that, and I might still do it. But this was just my first attempt at a Mario Kart map. If I, and I just might, make more MK maps, there will be a set gametype for them so it will be more or less like MK Double Dash.

    another version

    I'll be checking this out later since my friend and I made one a few months ago. On the fileshare of SO IYIeRciLeSs . Collectively we have 15/16 reasonably done you should check them out. Do us a favor and make Kalamari Desert or a decent Wario Stadium! Our best 4 are Bowser's Castle (v2-3?), Toads Turnpike (v2), Sherbet Land, and Rainbow Road (v3).

    Kalamari Desert or Wario Stadium eh? Don't remember Kalamari too much, and there are quite a few different versions of Wario Stadium. I'll just fire up my reliable N64 to get a nice refresher. But I'll se what I can do. Once I get Bungie Pro, an get a lot more FileShare slots, I'll hopefully have more tracks made by then. And please let me know how it is, a pretty solid remake IMO.

    ou should try throwing random clutter to act as bats :surprise:... Fusion coils or plasma batteries (preferably batteries seeing as they don't blow up as easily) + Cannon man = Bats? Anyways it is a nice remake without the bats. Good job :)

    This site has overhead maps that are to scale and accurate.

    OMG, thank you so much. I honestly just had a ROM on my computer and was just looking back and forth between my computer and Xbox. This is going to help greatly.
