Super glad to see CTGP accepting tracks like these now. I feel like a few years ago stuff like this would definitely get rejected. Nice to see it improving over the last couple of years!
I think with Retro Rewind featuring so many tracks that are in a similar Nintendo style, CTGP could be angling toward accepting more complicated/technical tracks.
i really like this style of video. i don't really keep up with ctgp updates too much so a video showing the new tracks and stuff is a great way to help people know about the update.
Thank you for making this! As part of Ct staff I’m grateful that people are still making quality content showing the insane quality of cts available today
An important thing to note is for τ-Cryovolcano, the theme change also comes with a KCL change, yeah the AI shows it off lap 4 haha. The water streams AND all of the off-road turns into rSL ice. This allows for more shortcuts to be taken shroomless, such as first turn, the shortcut at 11:36, and the shortcut to the left utilizing the rock at 11:09. There is also a halfpipe skip by launching off the right at ~11:39 that is pretty jank but Strobenz liked it and kept it, but it requires a shroom on every lap. The shortcut at 12:41 is normally a 2-shroomer but with the ice it becomes shroomless. The real savior of this update though? SHORTCUT CATEGORIES!!! Also, Mikul (you did pronounce that correctly) and I didn't really do much for Blissful Block, we just helped with checkpoints and item routes.
crazy that strobenz is still involved with custom tracks in 2024 💀 such an legendary name thats still active. also the beginning of strobenz desert illusion looking like strobenz desert really threw me for a loop the first time i played it
Strobenz will always be among the GOAT's of all custom track creators I feel. Strobenz Desert 1, Helado Mountain, and District 65 were some of the best tracks made for their time and I like that he returned to do another remake of Strobenz Desert. He really helped revolutionize illusions in tracks like the original Strobenz Desert.
I'm still mad at Mr Bean and his buds that run CTGP for taking out Lunar Spaceway, but I'm happy to see Shadow's version of Helado Mountain gone as I hated that version, and happy to see Strobenz's tracks be added. Those 3 deserve to be in considering he made a great comeback in 2023.
hey emil cool video just wanted to say i had never heard that action called "shroomba". I had never heard it called that before and idk i just enjoyed it. I'll remember that
Mods like retro rewind, midnight, mkwiidx and probably many others I haven't heard of have overtaken ctgp in the fun factor ages ago, and aide from some exclusive (I think) features like item rain and KOs, it seems to me that all ctgp has a future in is competitive, but imo it's not even close to being the most fun mod to play casually.
I stopped playing a few years back because my Wii won’t connect to my WiFi. I played JHFR on dolphin online for a few months before they stopped providing servers. Does anyone know if their is any way I can play on dolphin online? I have my nand and everything on dolphin. I have been out the MKWii community for a minute now. I am wondering if any other fan project allows for PC play online
This update won't make me want to watch CTGP anytime soon as I am still mad over them taking out Lunar Spaceway, but I'm happy they got rid of Shadow's version of Helado Mountain as I hated he made it from an ice track to a volcanic wasteland.
14:09 a lot of people in the more casual side of the community doesn’t like this track simply because of it being 2 laps. While I can definitely see why the competitive side likes it being 2, normally 3ds rainbow road is just 1 lap, and instead of 2 because it makes it like 4 minutes long to race on. While it’s great the track finally got a visual update, it still doesn’t change the fact that the track is way too long by being 2 laps instead of 1
This one makes up partially for me having to deal with the loss of Lunar Spaceway(which I will never forgive Mr Bean and his buds for) and seeing my once favorite snow track that’s now a volcano track gone. I hope someone remakes Helado Mountain back into an ice track.
@@jamomkw I will never forgive them for taking my favorite BigOto track out, but I'm happy Shadow's version of Helado Mountain is gone as I hated that one. Seeing Strobenz's new tracks make it makes me slightly happier, but not entirely as I'll never get over Lunar Spaceway.
I personally don 't think this update "saved' Mario Kart Wii Custom Tracks. In fact I don't think custom tracks needed saving. In fact I think custom tracks have been growing so much in the past 4 years with no stopping.
I think Emil is referring to competitive scene the tracks before this update were far from competitive and more appealing to casuals. I feel these tracks appeal heavily to competitive which has been dying.
I didn’t like that version as I liked the snow version more due it being like no other snow tracks. I will never forgive Shadow for turning my favorite winter wonderland into a volcanic wasteland. I hope someone remakes it back into a snow track someday.

Hi Mayro, when do you think you will be in a video with Troy again?

How is that even possible. Custom track technology has surpassed nintendo's own making.
I like how the streets in Blissful Block are named after mathematicians
I totally feel you - I love Strobenz Desert 🔥
My favourite will always be the OG Yoshi Lagune though
Strobenz Desert 1 is one of my favorite custom tracks of all time.
Always love when you upload, im not good at this game, but watching you play it at a high level is so entertaining :)

He recently came back to CT creation actually (around a year or two ago) after a long break. He relearned extremely fast and well haha :)
@@thho573 super glad he came back tbh, been enjoying his recent creations

0:48: this is similar to how the city tracks work in the BCP in Mario kart 8 deluxe

hey emil cool video just wanted to say i had never heard that action called "shroomba". I had never heard it called that before and idk i just enjoyed it. I'll remember that
why did niswoe desert get removed bruh it wasn’t even in there for that long
Best Metabus track I've seen so far. Far cry improvement from Banished Keep.
6:43 "once I play some lounge" 💀
You heard me right buddy
This is one of the strongest CTGP updates ever but I'll never understand how they removed Mushroom Valley over Sky Shrine 😂
Democracy's a hell of a drug.
@@liegemkw mushroom peaks is unpopular and it's still in...
The reality is that *MKart Midnight* with auto-updates would be better imo
Mods like retro rewind, midnight, mkwiidx and probably many others I haven't heard of have overtaken ctgp in the fun factor ages ago, and aide from some exclusive (I think) features like item rain and KOs, it seems to me that all ctgp has a future in is competitive, but imo it's not even close to being the most fun mod to play casually.
Do you think a Wii or Wii U ist better for competitive MKW?
3:12 Yes, you can trick off the boats
I stopped playing a few years back because my Wii won’t connect to my WiFi. I played JHFR on dolphin online for a few months before they stopped providing servers. Does anyone know if their is any way I can play on dolphin online? I have my nand and everything on dolphin. I have been out the MKWii community for a minute now.

Or does anyone know a workaround for having a router that’s too new for the Wii
@@youdontknowenough9059a Ethernet adapter
Try RetroRewind an absolute banger!
@@youdontknowenough9059had the exact same problem. You can use the hotspot on your laptop it should work
is mogi still the most played competitive scene? i took a little break to come back to it but it seems like less people are playing
For sure, yes. It becomes more balanced with wars when GSC is active which is the case right now.
looks fun ill play again this summer
These vids rlly make me wish I still had my Wii god dang it
Does anybody know the name of the pack he is using?
If you're referring to the textures and music I'm using, you can find those in the description.
What cups are these tracks in?
another BANGER upload by emil, nothing new.
hope you've been good :))
Can’t complain bro. Good vibes all around with this update finally coming out.
damn i need to play ctgp again
Absolute banger of an update
We want more 2v2 mogis please
"This Update SAVED Mario Kart Wii Custom Tracks". Sooo, what about Mushroom Peaks, Mr. EmilP??
Don't make people start picking it again!
This update won't make me want to watch CTGP anytime soon as I am still mad over them taking out Lunar Spaceway, but I'm happy they got rid of Shadow's version of Helado Mountain as I hated he made it from an ice track to a volcanic wasteland.
could you please, please check out Mario Kart Wii Galaxy, it is pretty good imo and it will get custom music and an auto updater
Grand archives deffo seems like the best imo, love the theme and design

I agree, it should only be 1 lap. Nintendo learned that when they remade N64 RR
This is one of the best updates in the past 2y!!

@@potato44_ now they are
@@potato44_ but it was run by people who barely played competitively previously
Title is nice to think about but mushroom island is still in the pack emil
Shhhhh it's not picked at all anymore
Is it that bad now Emil?
Exciting update!
Hey guys Emil here
EMIL UPLOAD!!!!
CTGP at its finest!
Need mogies
3DS Rainbow Road is still bad and will be forever.
(I liked Hellado Mountain so i'm kinda sad)
I didn’t like that version as I liked the snow version more due it being like no other snow tracks. I will never forgive Shadow for turning my favorite winter wonderland into a volcanic wasteland. I hope someone remakes it back into a snow track someday.
"An almost transparent road…" lol if only they had invented a word for translucent, that would be really convenient right now
No hate, jokes, nice vid mate
LOL I won’t lie, I haven’t used that word since elementary school so I just forget that it exists 😂
