DS Shroom Ridge - BCP Reforged

[@Igor39K]

Playing the base game courses and then playing the BCP ones felt really weird and out of place with the different style of graphics, with the base game graphics the track now looks like it belongs on Mario Kart 8.

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

To be fair, for it to really be cohesive they’d need to also address the ways in which Base 8 differs from the BCP like adding half pipes to base game. The fact they’re in the BCP but absent from base 8 feels really strange. Plenty of 8’s both nitros and remakes could have had half pipes implemented very naturally if they existed then. For the two to really feel cohesive I think half pipes would need to be added to base 8dx tracks (or removed from BCP ones, but I think that’s easily the worst of both worlds). But yeah you’re right it does feel like playing two different games, that’s because in a way you kind of are. The BCP tracks are basically playing tracks from Mario kart tour, just using 8dx’s engine and mechanics.

@@JacobPDeIiNoNi I know that dude and I agree especially with the comparison of Bowser Castle 3 and Grumble Volcano but remember that the original Mario Kart 8 is 10 years old now and while I won't mind if they do more things with the game right now I'm hoping for a ninth game.

[@InsideDisneyOfficial]

Absolutely BREATHTAKING! This looks just like how it would look in the base game, it's so realistic! THIS is how the Booster Course Pass courses should have looked! Incredible work, I am staying tuned to see what you do next -- I can't wait! I have never considered modding my game, but this mod alone is making me think of the possibility, haha!

[@Moai1181]

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THE MOUNT RUSHMARIO??? It’s on the right on the last few turns 🤯

[@Gold_Yoshi]

Best mod, hands down. You win

[@NeomiahPVart]

Now this is a Shroom Ridge remake with all of its potential! Amazing work!

[@SuperDupTNT]

"It might not look perfect around some areas" ChatGPT: Recognizes it as unmodified Mario Kart 8

[@chaire7]

It looks so much better than the original one in the bcp

[@bigju1c_y]

Why do I keep replaying these videos so much? (Probably it's because I'm so impatient and can't wait for the reforged Maple Treeway lol.)

[@manfredi19]

WHAT TF THIS IS SO INSANELY GOOD

[@Duskool]

This is insanely good! It's pretty accurate to how the track would look like if it was on the base game, or as close as we can get! You're doing god's work here, and i wish you luck doing the rest of the BCP, or whichever tracks you choose to do!

[@NTEB-vl6tg]

This was an amazing remake of Shroom Ridge and it really does feel like a remake from the base game. The trees and grass color are a bit off but that's a nitpick. The Mount Mario Rushmore and the little village in the void add so much to the road trip vibes of the course. What other tracks are you planning to give this "reforged" treatment next? I'm really curious because this was a legendary remake.

[@BCPReforged]

Thanks ! I plan to redo most of the BCP tracks, except for the tour tracks because they are difficult to deal with Some tracks will be heavily reworked (such as maple treeway or mushroom gorge), but it's also possible i make smaller changes, like setting Waluigi Stadium to sunset as this track already looks good But yeah overall, unless the track looks almost base-game (which is rare in this dlc), they will undergo the shroom ridge treatment for sure !

[@NTEB-vl6tg]

@@BCPReforged oh I'm so hyped for that Maple Treeway remake. It looks fine in the BCP version but there are a ton of texturing choices that kinda piss me off so I'm excited to see what you'd add to the course.

[@BCPReforged]

@@NTEB-vl6tg Yes, and even modeling wise, not a huge fan of the houses. But what triggers me most are the low poly trees in the background that are actually quite close to the player, but there will be some big changes, though i will try to sort of keep whatever good bcp brought to this map

[@NTEB-vl6tg]

@@BCPReforged Also I think the course was a bit too... orange? The water, green leaves, mini treehouse, and Wiggler nest were neat contrasts to the orange in the original. Now, all of those kinda just blend into the orange.

[@AdamAtwood-f2h]

@@BCPReforged try GCN Peach Beach with Gilders

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

This looks sooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the official BCP DLC version of the track and every single booter course pass track, wtf

[@LandonEmma]

TBH This looks better than base game I love it

[@Kamfad]

wow this actually looks really, really good

[@passiveinternetuser]

This is basically Shroom Ridge if it was in base game's banana cup

[@a-j-o-l-o-t-3]

OMG ALL YOUR TRACKS ARE INCFEDIBLE! You got a new sub. YOUR WOK IS THE BEST

[@notapplicable3]

Well done. My personal opinion is that Shroom Ridge had a decent model from the start, but you did a lot of work on it so props to you! I love all the details like the ivy and the transmission tower. For me personally, I find that the view out of the tunnel isn't great because the texture on the rock being so big and blurry makes it look like there's some sort of ultra focus effect on the bush (see 1:04-1:05). The original BCP has an ad there, maybe that can fill up more space better. (I personally miss the lake as variety so I'd move it there but deleting a cliff is much work and I would hope you can make some change). Still, the rest has lots of good texture choices. I was wondering what the tunnel tiles would be, and although your choice was unexpected, it does the job perfectly.

[@zoa1530]

Legit amazing

[@Nighterac]

Nintendo should be fucking embarrassed. Tour ports are unacceptable. This is literally their highest selling game on their highest selling console. Thank you so much for fixing this!

[@StarryPenguin]

👏👏👏 Well done. Amazing work.

[@collinweyenberg8066]

Got that Black Hills flair.

[@mcboosh1380]

I’m curious what made you start with DS Shroom Ridge but, will you be doing any more? These Reforges are simply gorgeous

[@BCPReforged]

The ugliness of the track did lol, easily the second worst track of the game, I always felt the need to do something about it But yes, it is the concept of the BCP reforged, to redo tracks from this DLC and make them look as base game as possible (though the tour tracks would be hard to edit, so i dont think i'll update them, or at least just a few)

[@xaidoesmusic]

Awesome!

[@harribo2005x]

I like it! Really!

[@wesleytucher6332]

The dlc if Nintendo actually put in work for their dlc They put in work for the Wii U dlc so why not this one? Pure lazy Except the music. The music is crazy good

[@Jordan64Games]

Fans do what NintenDON’T

[@LenHigashikata]

😮 This looks so goood Will you do Rock Rock Mountain next? That course hurts my eyes and makes me miss the 7 rendition

[@BCPReforged]

Yes I will at one point

[@LenHigashikata]

@@BCPReforged Looking foward to it!

[@syeo501]

Those tracks look wonderful. Can they be used with CTGPDX?

[@BCPReforged]

Yes, they replace the DLC tracks and iirc CTGP has its own cups, so if they didnt touch the DLC tracks this will work just fine

[@VW3059-Studio]

DS Shroom Ridge but in style of Taiwan / US highway 🛣

[@GBA2Loop]

HIRE THIS MAN RIGHT NOW

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

I do kind of miss the seaside overlook that the original had (I think it could have looked really nice with some updated graphics) but the big valley with Mount Rushmore-esque statues works really well too! Great work on this, I found this track really fun to play and the music is a banger so it was always unfortunate it had some of the worst graphics of the BCP (which is saying something).

[@callmerei]

Is it possible to make the track online compatible? That one bush near the pipe shortcut worries me cuz it seems to be bigger than the bush normally

[@BCPReforged]

The mod should be wifi safe as it only edits the model ! I have placed this bush because there originally were rocks at that area which had collisions, so i placed that bush to visually represent that collision, but again wifi should be safe ! Only client changes

[@theboogieman424]

How long did it take to make this?

[@BCPReforged]

1 month and a half

[@AlexDaZombie]

Bro... are this tracks thought over the one player mode? or 4 players mode? Inthink on switch this would be getting low fps
