MKWii CTGP Update Gold Stars (October 2024)
Time for another update! This one prob isn’t my cup of tea - personally not a fan of most of the new tracks and updates. For formatting purposes, I will adapt the following stats for each track: track difficulty, time cut from esg, amount of time it took.
Inferni Umbra (9.25/10, .509, 1h30m)
This was a track I hated but actually brings some fire visuals and works to improve gameplay. My main complaint is the name: while others may find it cool, idk why we had to change it from Infernal because idk anyone that will want to now call the track “inferni umbra”. Ghost is quite challenging, prob will be less than 4 secs from bkt on an almost 3 min track, prob could’ve been .5 easier tho ngl. Also the ending low feels inconsistent.
Wicked Woods (7.5/10, .514, 1h)
This track has some cool concepts but not a fan of some of the execution, primarily with the S bend in the MT section and how annoying the ending branches can be in runs (peep where I completely missed one). Ghost is a good challenge.
DS Waluigi Pinball (7/10, .547, 1h30m)
I never cared for this track but the pinballs being slower and the bumpers moving is cool. Other than that this is essentially just a minor upscale with some changed visuals. idk why we buffed the difficulty of this ghost, prob could’ve been a second slower and would’ve been fine.
Area 64 (6.75/10, .590, 2h)
This track is another with a cool theme but not a fan of how it plays due to the spiral and the ending ufo mushroom section. This ghost is super good for bullet bike but you can cheese it by doing a neutral bounce which is what I ended up doing because didn’t want to spend much time on it. W king mossan 🐮
BK Moai Mountain (6.25/10, 1.149, 10m)
For being a simple track this is cool, from my experience so far with it online this could be a decent runner like boshi. Ghost is decently fast but nothing insane.
Fishdom Island (6/10, .604, 15m)
idk why we updated this but W u sky sign. ghost is free cuz sherm 🐌🐢🦥🥱
Ribbon Road (4/10, 2.946, 5m)
Gonna be upfront with this…but this genuinely feels like one of the most useless updates? While it did fix an obscure softlock, it downgraded the visuals (imo, mostly from the fact that it feels darker and the blocks look worse), didn’t address the l3 aurora sc, improve bagging, and removed a glitch category people liked. I quite enjoyed this track but I genuinely feel like this is a downgrade. The one plus is that Pattyrix got a ghost because he deserves one, same difficulty as old version and you can beat it going around the rng aurora l3.
N64 Frappe Snowland (3.75/10, 1.295, 15m)
Another useless update; the only changes were making the main shroomcut more forgiving and making one turn sticky road. TBH just remove because nobody besides Folf will pick this. Ghost should be a 1/10 imo.
Sandy Clocktower (2/10, 6.366, 15m but only to get a run lol)
This track is okay…until you get to the 5 second shroomcut at the very end of the race. It can be done shroomless and is prob 2 secs slower than the shroom variant but especially in competitive i worry about this track’s reputation (a lot of council was concerned about the ending cut, myself included, idk why this info wasn’t relayed to the author as much as it should have). Ghost is super easy, prob didn’t need to be this easy ngl because you barely learn how to take lines well.

pretty good update? Volcanic Skyway (10/10, beat by 0.009) Great remake of an old classic. Kinda wish this was 2 laps instead of 3 since I worry about races dragging on for too long. Ghost is absolutely ridiculous and ultimately boils down to not making any mistakes for over 3 minutes while driving super fast. This did not need such a hard ghost ngl… Melting Magma Melee (9.25/10, beat by 0.125)...

W update (for the most part) Super Sky Courtyard (9.25/10, beat by .073) Holy hell, the more I played this track, the more I could not stand it. I used to enjoy it back in the day, but the beginning cut is super annoying and the turns (on both mach and flame) can be super sketch. Ghost definitely did not need to be this hard - it was gonna be a 2:51 and got buffed like 5 times to where it is no...

If you asked me 6 months ago as to whether I liked this track, I probably would've said "eh, I could care less for it". I actually started to enjoy the track much more after hanging out with people from the Underground Sky server and decided to push my awful 1:56.0 pb down lower. After a decent bit of grinding, here we are! I had a 1:53.4 that was 9th ww an hour before setting this run, so this...

It isn't the most difficult staff ghost out there (maybe a 5/10 at best), and besides, this track doesn't need a brutal staff ghost.

I wish I could say I was proud of this run, but I'm not. Here's a brief breakdown of the run: LAP 1 - 39.744 Arguably the best lap of the run; no major mistakes were made. I could've taken the hump ramp a bit better, but I made up for this by getting a longer-than-average wheelie going into the wooden section. I also suck at getting sticks from boost ramp tricks so I could've saved some time fr...

So this is a thing I guess. A special someone that loves making fun of me actually encouraged me to tt this and somehow I'm now 6th ww. This run can certainly go to a low 1:59 with better ending geysers and getting better boost ramp tricks. BKT (ghost that is being raced) loses a bit of time going into cave l1 and a few minor timelosses elsewhere, but is still quite impressive. Might go for BKT...
