N64 Koopa Troopa Beach - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Custom Track

Another month, another custom track
gamebanana.com...
The remix of the original track's music that is featured in this mod was made by ‪@Katsumaru_P_Official‬: • 64ノコノコビーチのBGMを8DX風にアレン...
After finishing my previous custom track I realised the only major aspect of track creation that I hadn't really dabbled in was underwater stuff, so making this track was partially an excuse to learn about that.
This is technically a Mario Kart Tour port, but I remodeled so many things including all of the cliffs that I think it still manages to feel like an original Mario Kart 8 track for the most part. That being said, there are some things that do fall a bit short. Due to the way particles work there was no way for the waterfall to have an appropriate splash effect. Sometimes CPUs also drive into a wall for a few seconds when they fail the glider ramp shortcut, no matter what I do with their paths. Obviously it's also pretty much impossible to replicate the original track's moving water level, especially with the way underwater areas work in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
It will probably be a while before I make another Mario Kart 8 Deluxe custom track since I'm expecting to be busy with other stuff for the next few months. In the meantime I'm just hoping Nintendo doesn't put their version of this track in wave 6 of the Booster Course Pass...

I actually like how the character and kart models are affected by the shadows on the track and by the tunnel shortcut, too. It's a detail that I rarely see in other custom tracks for MK8D. I can only presume it's quite difficult to execute.

[@ryanlewis8975]

THIS is how the bcp should have looked! Use the tour models still, but add great textures, base game foliage, and backgrounds.

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

Yes, Exactly!! And that custom track right here looks exactly like a base 8/8DX track

[@meleegaming101]

I agree! In fact I could even agree more!

[@warpath7386]

you do know thats exactly how most of the tracks from the later waves ( not waves 1 or 2 and some of 3 ) look like right?

[@bluebaron6811]

Is that why Waluigi Stadium and 3DS Rainbow Road stick out like a sore thumb but in the best way possible?

[@vexedtrack277]

@@warpath7386they don’t they still use the tour foliage and it looks so bad and buildings have 0 detail

[@MarioPower55]

Absolutely incredible work!

[@magmarxiogaming6717]

really REALLY good remake, the only problem i really have with it is that sunshine airport isn't in the background anywhere and that would've been such a great full circle moment for both of those tracks because you can see this track on the big glider section of sunshine airport

[@EfraArt_Mix]

X2, I need the Sunshine Airport in the background

[@GeoDeo]

This is incredibly beautiful! I’d love to see you do some of the wave 1 and even 2 BCP tracks like this! Great work!

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

More like he should do every single BCP track like this

[@fluffy64]

@@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909that’d be a lot of work for him

[@koosloo_ulia]

Seeing this makes me wonder how different a track already in the BPC would look like if given a similar treatment to this, its really, REALLY good!

[@harrybest2041]

BPC = Booster Pourse Cass

[@koosloo_ulia]

@@harrybest2041 i will never be able to stop accidentally typing it that way…

[@KoopaTroopaBeachFan4879]

Thank you for doing my favorite track justice. This is absolutely beautiful 😢

[@Tatzuki]

the one track that got its spot in the bcp stolen by kalimari desert. it's so beautiful!

[@harrybest2041]

Kalimari Desert had a variant with an alternate route in Tour, the only classic course to have this distinction. It's fairer to say Choco Mountain was the course which stole the spot of what could've been another N64 course (e.g. Koopa Troopa Beach).

[@Vieislost]

Well the problem is that Koopa Troopa Beach never got into tour

[@DrYoshi]

I can really tell that you spent hours stomping... ... ... ... ... ... Koopas! in the Original Mario Kart Nintendo 64 Game

[@Fitz_Sports]

You have no idea how much I really wanted this track to be in the Booster Course Pass since this is one of my favorite tracks from MK64 playing the game when I was younger!

[@robbertlw9610]

Wow this course works so well with MK8!!!

[@thelorenzteam6618]

This track looks perfect 😊

[@will.gallegos]

This is one of the best custom tracks, it looks very official, music actually got changed, my only feedback is to make Sunshine Airport visible from here.

[@Rimea]

Thanks! I've had a few comments about Sunshine Airport. I did consider adding it, but decided it would clash too much with the track's nature-based tropical vibe, especially for the majority of people who might not even be aware of the original easter egg. I placed advertisements at the start of the track referencing Sunshine Airport as a compromise.

[@De_an]

You actually gave this track a proper background!

[@36into6]

This looks extremely like how I would imagine it in the BCP

[@mixer1014]

Why the hell are modders making better looking tracks than Nintendo?

[@kirbothepoyo]

LOOKS AWESOME

[@NinLoki]

Omg that looks AMAZING

[@dramondestroyer1002]

That's some impressive job!! It's really has captured the style of base MK8 tracks.

[@SomeRobloxDudeWasTaken]

Really good job on this, couldnt tell it was the Tour model in the first place

[@zero-z4551]

Wow, very nice It's better than a lot of the custom tracks that have been made for mk8.

[@KidCoyle]

Excellent work!

[@jamesestes6851]

omg wow! this looks amazing!

[@MasterGalaxy120]

Curiously the beach appear also on Mario Golf Toadstool Tour also!

[@halienation]

Yes to this one for Mario kart 8 deluxe

[@halienation]

Music at the final not going to work for the final

[@supermario5458]

This would fit perfectly for the booster course pass. I’m falling in love with this i can’t 😭😍😍😘😘🥰🥰💖💖💋💋

[@manfredi19]

i would unironically prefer this over squeaky clean sprint

[@RyanL5000]

I love the creativity of this track. The background matches with the beach at Sunshine Airport and made the track very related to DS Cheep Cheep Beach. Great job!!!!

[@kalamitus2269]

0:56 is that... is that FRONTRUNNING BEATS?! In a custom track?! OMG YES!!!

[@gusonian8637]

Really amazing, my only gripe is that the tunnel shortcut is insanely overpowered, but it doesn’t matter that much. Easily the best custom remake track I’ve seen

[@SuperLucario64]

This is really amazing! Great work!

[@KozakuraRabbit]

This is awesome!

[@girahimar2122]

i dont see how its a custom track the visual quality clearly shows its a official track :)

[@nematodes23]

Its funny, because with the proper texture work, the Tour models are actually really good, but a lack of texture makes them look really bare bones

[@Rimea]

true, though for the record at least 50% of this track isn't the tour model, I redid all of the walls and a lot of other things

[@frankiewong.]

That remix works very well for this remake

[@nickk3077]

Nintendo should hire you! This looks so official! It's so good! I wanna play it so badly!

[@Oceansprayq23]

Nintendo, hire this man. Literally could've carried the booster course pass

[@spongebobmusicuhg3420]

this CT gives me Wuhu Island vibes for some reason

[@rafaelcr44]

What a banger track and what a banger song!!

[@Sammykyt]

I want a future remake where Sunshine Airport is shown in the background

[@Huwitto]

Damn, this actually looks official!

[@nickk3077]

Mario Kart 9 should feature a track editor where people can make and upload levels like this online for people to play!

[@sussdood]

this is art.

[@tankatlus5797]

I wonder how the Mario Kart 64 version of Bowsers Castle would be like in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe I hope someone who does modding makes that version of the stage a reality with modding

[@arandommanthatexists]

I have a feeling Nintendo made the levels hard to edit on purpose to curb stomp modding into the ground.

[@Manu__]

Absolutely stunning port. I got one question though, how do you make the water to not always move in one direction like if there is endless current? Every time i try to add water to a CT it always gives me this kind of glitch

[@MrGamerX48]

0:01 Ah yes, Koopa Troopa Beach, my favorite Ds course.

[@Rimea]

true

[@alepc7480]

you can make a version with the original music?

[@TheMapleShyGuy]

Missed opportunity to put sunshine airport in the background

[@Rimea]

I considered adding it off in the distance, but I decided it would probably clash with the tropical vibe / be too distracting, especially for people who aren't familiar with the easter egg. Sunshine airport features multiple koopa troopa formations in the background but this track only has the one, so who knows if it's specifically koopa troopa beach in that track's background. The advertisements at the start of the track do reference sunshine airport as a compromise however.

[@TheMapleShyGuy]

It's not pointless. Don't say that about his mods. He makes very good mods and it's not nice to go calling them pointless.

Not all mods have to have a point. That's what makes them fun.
