Awesome NEW Custom Tracks Created for Mario Kart Wii! (August 2021)

[@Numerosity]

Some of the retros don't even look like they're retro yet still maintain the layout and I love it

[@chilln0648]

A lot of them really feel like Nintendo would make them, and I love that.

[@Duskool]

I think that's the best kind of retro remake, when they don't just copy and paste the same layout but on 3d, and instead elaborate a bit on the theme of the track, like MK8 did.

[@BigOto2]

These are absolutely beautiful. I love how the tracks each year are always twice as good as the ones from the year prior 🥰

[@flint9064]

thanks! Big fan of your old work btw.

[@FCalvin6]

Right?? Modern creators make some crazy great tracks!

[@FCalvin6]

[@AltairYoshi]

So many tracks from both known creators and up and coming ones this month, from retros to brand new stuff, there's something for everyone here for sure! I'm especially looking forward to what the new creators got planned. I'd mention favorites but honestly all tracks here were incredible, can't pick a specific one XD Amazing video as usual and thanks for including Frostburn Falls :)

[@MarioPower55]

Your tracks are always a treat to showcase man! I'm also looking forward to what the future brings in this community.

[@cpFusion]

All of these tracks have something that make them look really awesome. So much time and effort put into everything here. I really love the visuals of Caliginous Valley, Timber Rapids, and Sandstone Cliffs. Props to EVERYONE in the video. Thank you for including GBA Snow Land! (Especially as a last-minute addition lol)

[@flint9064]

It’s funny cause I was planning on remaking GBA snow land next, but now I feel I don’t need to do that any more. Fantastic job on the track!

[@cpFusion]

@@flint9064 Oh wow, yeah I’ve heard other CT creators were looking to remake this after I released it. Guess we all had some good plans to update the older tracks lol. Thank you for the compliment!

[@flint9064]

@@cpFusion me, squadaloo, and zpl were all a out to make our own versions at the same time LMAO. It was about to be the snow land revolution

@@flint9064 It would have been HILARIOUS if we unintentionally doubled the Snow Land tracks from 4 to 8 in the span of a week lmao.

[@MarioPower55]

The funny thing is, I had the video rendered and it was currently uploading. While making the description to grab the wiki links, I saw that you and Squire made those tracks that I knew right as I saw them that I needed to add those to the video. (Since I made that mistake in the past for not including those tracks and missing them lol). I'm truly glad I did that because it's such an amazing 2nd track. I can't wait to see what you have in store! The future is bright.

[@tctt185_dg]

That is one very epic looking GBA Rainbow Road. Also, is that GBA Lakeside Park? What the heck!? Whoever made those GBA courses, damn. You made those courses so unrecognisable but still kept the layout. I applaud the effort.

[@flint9064]

Thanks!

[@tylorian5168]

I love the music track selection you continue to employ in these videos: there are so many good Mario, Sonic, Persona and Xenoblade songs!

[@MarioPower55]

Thank you! It's my favorite thing about these videos every month is picking the music to match the vibe of each track.

[@Stan99]

Yeah I noticed that too, he always picks some quality tracks

[@TravelingCyclone]

Spongebob Movie game soundtrack as well!

[@sondham6732]

this is honestly the best ct showcase we’ve had this year, all of these tracks look phenomenal, also the new royal raceway needs to replace the one in ctgp because it is completely outdated at this point

[@meleegaming101]

It's cool that the retro custom tracks are getting MK8-style remasters. Custom Tracks for this game have come a long way since the early days of Mario Kart Wii, keep it up! 👏

[@mowrt620]

Loving the concept of water fall, water rise. Simple, but the three tier idea is really good and I'm supriaed we havent seen it before

[@JRobert1402]

I love the new Lakeside Park. I love how you get to go inside the volcano

It was an idea I have for a long time that I’m happy I finally got to execute. Thanks!

[@jamesmuraski1]

It’s insane to see some of these tracks, the design is just insane. Props to all the track creators!

[@Strobenz]

I love EVERY SINGLE ONE of these tracks. Just how is it possible that they keep getting better and the creators keep coming up with such novel ideas? Hats off to all creators!

[@squireturnbolt]

Thanks for featuring two of my tracks! Also all of the other ones look really awesome! :D

[@MarioPower55]

The future is bright, for sure! Keep at it my guy!

[@pearlgalaxy]

The Caliginous Valley is definitely my favorite, I just think it needs a little more light ? I feel like the track is kinda dark, but the concept is amazing and the execution is great as well.

[@MarioPower55]

I love the concept and the atmosphere on that track!

[@sidequestorian5107]

Thank you for the feedback! The main complaint I saw with the track was the lighting, I will be sure to keep that in mind if I ever end up updating it.

[@ughcreature]

true, i feel if i were to play it on my TV i wouldn't be able to see it

[@KozakuraRabbit]

Great job on the video and thanks for including Timber Rapids!

[@SirRelkinstein]

This is exactly what I love about custom tracks, they always get made to be awesome

[@ryanc1296]

At this point I've come to expect greatness from CTs and yet Snow Land still made me do a double take wow

[@incognito6751]

Thank you for showcasing Interstellar War and Verdant Wilds! All of these are amazing. I really like Wacky Waterworks since it's so unique. It also reminds me of a world in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Also that Brinstar music and Halo music are bangers!

[@MarioPower55]

I knew you would like the Halo music for Interstellar! For real, I've never seen anything like that in a track before. Literally a space war in a Mario Kart Track! Love your ideas.

[@slimeserverMKW]

What an incredible month for CTs, and a brilliant showcase to top it off as always. My personal favourites were Caliginous Valley, GBA Snow Land and Frostburn Falls. Thank you for showcasing Water Fall, Water Rise as well, although I think you could have done a better job showcasing the threat of the water rising by taking the innermost bridge lap at the start. But everything else was perfect!

[@MarioPower55]

Now looking back, I should've fast-foward the preview to show the rise of the water. I think people get the point with what I got in the video. I've never seen that gimmick before in a Mario Kart Track and I truly think you nailed it. My brother and I both really love the concept. Wish I could've showed it off a little better, I just had no idea how to haha.

[@slimeserverMKW]

@@MarioPower55 That's OK. Thanks for the kind words. I actually watched the video again and just remembered that dolphin doesn't allow lap edits. I'm reality it's a 5 lap track, but on dolphin it's only 3. So you actually couldn't have done a better job showcasing it. My bad!

[@totoeltotodile4400]

Sandstone Cliffs is perfect, good music and creative stage 10/10

[@verguco6051]

only took two console generations but people finally know how yo make good custom tracks

[@tacojosh4]

Loving the mood that Caliginous Valley has. Really nice job by Man-o-Wii and Trainiax

[@MarioPower55]

It's lowkey one of my favorite tracks in this list. I love the mysterious atmosphere that I got from that track. Also Coin Heaven is amazing man. o;

[@btarg1]

The new snow land really needs to be in CTGP, same with Royal Raceway!

[@kbgman01]

The new GBA Lakeside Park reminds me of the Baroonda tracks from Star Wars Episode I: Racer.

[@ryanc1296]

My main takeaways for August: - CT Jam tracks have gotten so good that by 2022 we might have to split these monthly vids into Jam and non-Jam videos. - In 2019 new CTs felt like they were either pretty but simple or ambitious but less visually appealing. We've advanced so far since then that several extremely ambitious new tracks that look excellent come out on a monthly basis. - After Quaking Mad Cliffs last year, Sandstone Cliffs this year, and Mushroom Gorge already, cliffs has now become my favorite track theme. - The time limit on Jams is lots of fun, but many tracks deserve further development so they can reach their potential as Coin Heaven has proven once again. Many come out already great, but updates like these are even better somehow.

[@conice41]

I believe Sandstone Cliffs was made in 2020 but got updated this month

[@ryanc1296]

@@conice41 The beta version was released in January, with this being the first significant update to the track

[@bheco4]

3:16 THAT TRACK IS SO AMAZING WTF

[@damonnnn]

Not really a fan of how GBA Rainbow Road got Mario Kart 8ified but all the other tracks are pretty cool! Caliginous Valley is probably my favorite here. Great vid.

[@DongaKonga2]

i remember when the first release of coin heaven came out. and it was pretty good, but at this point it looks like a Nintendo track!

[@MarioPower55]

For sure!

[@Bluhm0702]

I'm absolutely in love with Royal Raceway 😭💕

[@LaySuperMarioLover]

The Retro Tracks really look amazing! and the new ones are either a complete new experience for me or I recognize them from the older MKWii CT community (Like Nebula Lava Factory).

[@OrcaHedron]

Might as well give my full opinion on GBA LP: Like I said before, I don't like the less offroad-heavy nature of this version's layout (mainly at the part at 8:31 as well as the shortcut) however this is just a personal thing and I do like the new placement of the shortcut. Visually, it looks great by itself. I think there was a bit too much emphasis on the volcano aspect compared to the lake/jungle however that's also a personal thing and I will say the darker rock texture of this (compared to something like GCN DKM) looks really nice, as well as the grassy sections. I love the part where you go inside the volcano and I think the volcanoes in the background look great. I also like the verticality that this track has (like with GBA RR).

[@skelebone7817]

GBA Rainbow Road looks absolutely INSANE here. I had no clue what Nintendo was gonna do for it in a future Mario Kart, but this REALLY shows what they could do with the track, and it doesn't even have anti-gravity!!!

[@thorfnase_iceman9999]

6:46 OMG, this music gives me "Spongebob SquarePants the Movie for PS2" vibes!!!

[@kmversion1]

Snow Land looks amazing

[@trunkit8749]

MKWii hacks are getting to mk8 level of detail and I love it

[@FlameUser64]

Okay you've _gotta_ get less aggressive with your cuts here. I know it's tempting on each editing pass to cut a little more out and a little more out and a little more out, but you've gotta resist that urge. Between your aggressive cuts and your transitions there are several instances of the context for a shortcut being completely removed, for example. Having editing is better than having no editing, though! Also, the custom tracks on display here are damn good.

[@crimsama2451]

Amazing tracks! Is there a smooth way to play these online with others?

[@nil24nil]

Woooooooow, those CTs are AMAZING!!! I would like to have bot versions of the GBA RR and lakeside park on CTGP. Incredible months, I would like to play them all

how to add custim tracks on dolphin without having to replace them with old tracks?

[@TinNovaKiin]

I have to say I'm blown away by the overall quality of these new tracks, and while there is nothing major to complain about, I have two main suggestions: - While this audacious take on GBA Rainbow Road is fine, I miss all the bouncy parts, this was this track's best gimmicks - In DS Cheep-Cheep Beach the S-shaped sand part seems too wide to me, its boost ramp as well. And too bad the MK8 shortcut isn't there

[@jclkaytwo]

Nice driving in this one btw.

if i’m remembering correctly, for ctgp, these courses will be updated into it automatically, or would i have to do something to add them. (sorry unsure about ctgp still)

[@MarioPower55]

Every track needs to go through the CTGP Council before it can be added to CTGP. The creator would submit their track and the council will test, analyze the track, and will reject/accept/ or put it in the "potential" category or "needs fixing". I'm still learning myself, but I'm pretty sure that's the process.

[@brinst_ar]

I think Gba rainbow road looks great but i wish that tunnel was a bit more elavated in the track, would lead to a cool way down and it looks kinda ugly seeing it from the other sides of the road.
