Mario Kart 64 FLAT like Super Mario Kart is it possible?

In this video I look at a cool GameShark code witch makes all the maps completely flat just like Super Mario Kart. I try all 16 Mario Kart 64 maps and see if its possible to finish the race in this flat state.

Hey Snooplax, I decided to play each level along side you and it turns out DK Jungle Parkway is possible! You need to do a sharp turn where the first hairpin jump is (over to where the bridge to the cave normally is) and it will count as a lap :) EDIT: Turns out you can actually just drive to the left after starting the race and you get wrapped to the cave. EDIT2: Turns out Rainbow Road is possible too... I think. I can't figure out how it could be but CPU Peach completed a lap, so there must be some sort of track which we can't figure out!

[@Snooplax]

Thats awsome thanks for the info!

[@klerobatoforca]

about rainbow road and CPU stuff: you know that cpu in mario kart cheat a lot, right, but maybe the player can do this too idk!

[@shirohimayumikira234]

Do you think there's gonna be a sort of Super Mario Kart track pack for MK64? Or maybe just a theory?

How Flat Earthers see Mario Kart 64

[@stungunnotapplicable1953]

Breaking the games like this really does give a good look into just how wisely N64 developers made use of loading and unloading sub-areas and how good it was at loading and unloading on the fly (one of the advantages of the cartridge medium, nigh instant access times). Developers had the tools to be able to make the most use of the N64's limited memory and boy did they. Proper use of its capabilities were able to do a lot of loading and unloading in the background in ways that you'll never see what's going on and worlds can seem seamless. A few N64 titles had massively expansive maps where you'd never once see an area transition or loading screen. Of course it doesn't have everything in memory all at once, it's just doing a bunch of efficient juggling.

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

Culling and LODs are still required for video games today. You always push the hardware only where it's needed.

[@Kazmahu]

If I had to hazard a guess, Rainbow Road's finish line hitbox (the invisible game actor, not the graphic) must be positioned *so* high up on the Y-axis that you can't collide with it. Other courses put the finish like close to y=0 but RR is so massively vertical they must've had to put it way in the sky so the track doesn't hit the bottom of the playable area during the initial descent. The result it every other track, you can get close enough to register a lap (these things are often a bit oversized because it can't hurt), but you just drive under RR's finish when it's pancaked down lower than it should be. CPUs can still finish laps though because they aren't actually racers - they're just drones that do things and lie. They tell the game "I'm here, I've done a lap" and the game takes their word for it.

[@unmeltabledjdkrnrjdjsnd9317]

I've known that this track scaling thing existed but I never knew how it worked. Glad you actually explained it!

[@unmeltabledjdkrnrjdjsnd9317]

So a couple extra thoughts on this. First, I'd love to see you do the courses x2 or maybe x3 instead. Second, I find interesting that Bowser's Castle has has some unique textures for parts of the underside of the road. Maybe other courses have it as well and I never noticed. Third, the game thought you were in the lava, as you can tell by Mario's yell, which was most likely why the camera was weird like that. Fourth is a question. Is it possible to do decimals? Like have the courses be at 0.5?

[@MyLeg_Fred]

The courses can be multiplied into decimals. 0.5x will make the course half the usual height.

[@rockjuan2828]

Really good experiment. Keep up the good work!

I’m curious if you could drive the Rail Road from the first crossing to the second and skip half the course with this mod.

[@That1PlaceBehindTheBush]

Definitely need to see a x2/x3 scaling run since almost all levels are viable flat. Good watch, but I'm much more interested in the viability of highly scaled levels 😃

[@alisiaale565]

I was so confused when I saw that you couldn't complete any lap in the Rainbow Road! 🤔

[@FriendKevo]

If I had to guess what was going on on Rainbow Road, maybe it’s possible that the invisible checkpoints throughout the map were higher or lower than the course itself and unaffected by the GameShark code? Meaning from the game’s perspective you didn’t pass through the necessary checkpoints that constitute a proper lap?

[@Randomii666]

This would be the case. Rainbow Road has pretty extreme elevations and the checkpoints are just invisble objects. Like we saw, objects stay at their coordinates, but the geometry gets flattened. Even though the checkpoints are pretty big, you will still miss them.

[@maxfranklinmeans]

Toad's Turnpike is basically Highway to Heaven when scaled flat

[@skyeguy7914]

I bet that all the verticality of rainbow road is the problem. The zone for the finish line is probably not down low enough to reach the zero plane.

[@xenai.]

the rainbow road, I think it's something with the lap and checkpoints being too high that it doesnt count. Because its flat, your much below them and mabye not reaching them?

If you either pause the game, fall off, Lakitu grabs you, or you drive into a toxic obiect "such as trees, jungle balls etc.", you lose the chance of saving for ghost.
