| Hello!
This is my first post and my first ROM hack! It is a track hack of Super Mario Kart. It changes all the tracks of the Mushroom Cup. You can play them on time trial mode or against other opponents in 2 player mode or at the Internet with ZBattle. I tried to keep them simple and fun to play. This is a final release and I don't intend to keep working on it. (ps: screenshots below) (ps2: you need a headered rom. My original ROM was named Super Mario Kart (US).smc or Super Mario Kart.smc [both are the same for me]; To add a header, use SnesTool). Hope you enjoy it, frauber (edited by frauber on 01-07-07 08:47 AM) (edited by frauber on 01-07-07 08:47 AM) (edited by frauber on 01-07-07 03:29 PM) |

| Hi Stifu!
Let me first say that I can't wait for the "Epic Racers" release, the screenshots just look great! My hack isn't really nothing special, but there seems to be very few Mario Kart track hacks, and the ones I've found seem to suffer from poor track designing. Anyway, I think there are still room for more MK track hacks. I just can't get tired of Mario Circuits  . |

| Hi Dirtbag!
I'm impressed with your hack!I wrote my little modification almost a year ago and since them I haven't checked any other hacks (I have about 6 or 7 of them, mostly complete track changes that I've downloaded in a french website), so I must say I am quite impressed with yours, especially the AI issues. As for the tracks, they are better than many others I've checked, but sometimes they are too "dirty". What I really like are tracks that "fell" similar to the original game: fast tracks with nice curves in which minor details you give you an advantage. I'm proud of my two mario circuits, I think they add something different without losing that original spirit. Did you enjoy that two tracks from my modification? By the way, opened it today with TrackDes and whenever I try to edit the tracks it says "Unable to Save File, either there is no more space in the ROM or the file is read only". Since the file is not read only, do you know how I can fix that? Stifu, I agree that this is a "minimalist" hack, maybe I should better call it a "modification", as I'm by no way a rom hacker like you guys are. It's nice to see that are people still working on Super Mario Kart, i'm eagerly waiting for nice new tracks! |

| Oh, that's a nice and simple solution, thanks Dirtbag! As for the edges, there could
be some work but I think that sometimes they are more visible on TrackDesginer than on the game itself. This is espeacially true of Donut Plains, where these details seems not to matter when playing the game. Thanks a lot for the support, maybe I could use some spare time to build more tracks and try to learn that AI system (a lot to learn, since I don't have experience in ROM hacking and the last time I've used a HEX editor was to modify text on MS-DOS games). With the correct AI data you got, how much time did it take you to get a working AI in one of your tracks? As with your hack, you haven't modified map graphics. Are they more difficult to modify than character sprites and text? One nice modification would be to make ghost valleys and bowsers castles with round curves, just like mario circuits and donut plains, because I feel these tracks are way more limited than my beloved Mario Circuits. Also, how is your hack going, do you have more tracks ready? My favorite track right now is "Baldy Circuit 4", I think it's the most original one, it has good curves, just the right ammount of obstacles and it's FAST ! However, I didn't like the Bowser Circuit, because you have to go
very carefully to make a decent lap, and for me the fun of Mario Kart is that your finger never get off the acellerator button! . |

| That's great news Stifu!
I'm curious to see what you and Dirtbag will do with new map textures  .
That will add a *LOT* to the game. --- PS: Screenshots attached for the guy who asked. |
