    1 lap of each track in Ring Racers that is also in SRB2K.
    0:00 - Green Hills Zone
    1:42 - Northern District Zone
    3:23 - Darkvile Garden Zone (Act 1 in Ring Racers)
    4:52 - Daytona Speedway Zone
    6:17 - Sonic Speedway Zone
    7:54 - Misty Maze Zone (Renamed to Aquaduct Crystal Zone in Ring Racers)
    9:47 - Sub-Zero Peak Zone
    11:50 - Silvercloud Island Zone (Loses the Zone part in Ring Racers)
    13:32 - Blue Mountain Zone (Act 1 in Ring Racers)
    15:30 - Desert Palace Zone
    16:30 - Aurora Atoll Zone
    18:22 - Sonic Mania Special Stage 3 (Becomes Wavecrash Dimension Act 1 in Ring Racers)
    19:29 - Lake Margorite Zone

    25:28 - Crimson Core Zone
    27:21 - Kodachrome Void Zone
    28:46 - Virtual Highway Zone
    30:29 - Chemical Factory Zone
    Note that this does NOT include Addon tracks for SRB2K. There's a bunch I recognized from playing myself, but this video is long enough as is with just the base game tracks.
    This was recorded as of version 2.1. I'm aware of version 2.2 making some changes, particularly to Desert Palace, but I recorded everything before that released.

      There's technically a few more tracks that are more subtly or vastly transformed but otherwise still based on a previous SRB2Kart track.
      Hot Shelter and Ramp Park are remakes of Red Barrage Area and Kart's Hill Top.
      Ramp Park honestly is easy to miss as a "remake" because of the huge makeover and only a few sections being recognizable as parallels to the old Hill Top plus hearing it was turned into ramp park from the Discord back when it was in development.
      Hot Shelter though is clearly based off RBA not only in the stage theme itself, but there's at least one third or fourth of the layout that is visibly recognizable to be lifted/redone from the old RBA, though otherwise quite different...quite the improvement imo.

    I had been an avid player of SRB2K for a good while so I was well familiar with all the Vanilla tracks. But stuff like Darkvile Garden, Green Hills genuinely took me a bit of re-racing in Ring Racers to realize they overhauled them visually and layout wise.
    Genuinely funny how much they decided to make Green Hills way more one to one, to the actual Sonic 2 8-Bit Zone.

  • @SaturnsRing98
    @SaturnsRing98 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I don't know how anyone can go back to the old Kart versions of these tracks. A lot of them really felt empty and truly unfinished, and Ring Racers' updates really breath life into them. The textures do so much to give each level a real unique identity, Daytona being a favourite as it introduces a lot of little details from the game it comes from like the slots & Sonic rock carving. They really went beyond in the visuals. My personal favorite of the legacy courses shown here would be Virtual Highway, the original was a real mish-mash of textures as opposed to the work of art that looks like it'd fit with Battle Network. Sad this is missing the MK courses that got changed completely into the "MEGA" courses!

    - Green Hills Zone: I liked the simplicity in the original better and it was a great introductory track. The new one is still one of the better RR tracks
    - Northern District Zone: My favourite SRB2K track and I’m really sad with what they did… No more risky left route and the construction shortcut is much less time attack friendly. Music still bangs though
    - Darkville Castle: I was never too fond of it but the remake is probably better for RR. Less emphases on drifting means tamer turns. Miss the big offroad shortcut though
    - Daytona Speedway: It’s basically as good as it was. Though sad you can’t use the first speed panels to do the offroad shortcut anymore.
    - Sonic Speedway: it’s of comparable quality. I’d say it feels worse but that’s probably just me not being used to the new mechanics
    - Misty Maze: The same layout but I really don't like the water physics. At the very least I think the water in the beginning should be normal road
    - Sub-Zero Peak: More or less the same. Prettier even!
    - Silvercloud Island: Overall an improvement actually. The original was quite bland in layout and the elevation really makes it stick out! Quite sad the alternate route is boost exclusive now though
    - Blue Mountain: Overall the same but I’m not a big fan of the last cave section change. It was fun to keep a drift going on a straightaway on the last cave section.
    - Desert Palace: Can’t believe they turned the risky bridge into offroad. The button had more of a chance to fuck people over when people were going on it.
    - Aurora Atoll: Feels like a different track. Not a bad thing but losing the original’s two iconic twist turns is like Sky Garden losing two turns in MK8D.
    - SM Special Stage 3: Ruined. It was such a good sprint type track where you felt great keeping your momentum…
    - Lake Margorite: Feel like it’s an improvement both visually and layout wise. Not too different actually
    - Costal Temple: Honestly did one of my favourite tracks justice! The leaves make it a bit hard to see but I’m glad they didn’t make it a water track
    - Opilence Zone: Honestly much cooler layout. Wish you could still water cut at the end though. No more u2 Akuyama music what’s up with that?
    - Crimson Core: One of the greatest tracks and basically as good as the original. Though with the two shortcuts I feel like catchup potential is too big. Felt like a stage that really rewarded getting down the track layout.
    - Kodachrome: It should be burning my eyes
    - Virtual Highway: The corkscrew being long enough for a rainbow drift felt better. I do like the alternate route being locked behind a boost though
    - Chemical Factory: wow it’s as shit as the original
    Oh and I’m pretty sure Ancient Tomb is there too? Not too sure
    No Sand Valley, Megablock Castle, Pradise Hill, Vanilla Hotel, Volcanic Valley or Eggman’s Nightclub is really sad though. They will be missed.
    Rest in Peace to the MK tracks as well. The replacements just don’t replicate the bullshittery of the orignals.

      I don't actually agree that it's too complex. After beating all of the cups, I think the game is certainly more complex than Kart, but not by much. About on the level of CTR.
      The sticking point is that the tutorial teaches you all of these complex, advanced mechanics that you rarely ever use in the actual game. Tricks, for example, are used quite sparingly and are NEVER as dangerous as the tutorial. The tutorial is really overwhelming and paints a really inaccurate picture of the actual game.
      I highly recommend giving it another shot with an open mind. The only new mechanics you really need to worry about are positioning (don't get bumped), rings (simple enough), tricks (used rarely), and tripwires (you have to boost through them, that's it)

      Physics are a little different, but can still be practiced to perfection nonetheless. You might need more anticipation for turns than in SRB2Kart, which is completely fair criticism. I highly suggest checking out the top ghost times in DRRR, they're literally insane.
