Tried out Battle Kart 64 last night for hours and had a blast! Few things to mention. When playing with bots I've found the only map that works is Block Fort [Flat Track] level. Otherwise bots keep on driving into walls [3d levels], into the lava or pitfalls in the middle of the stages (becoming very annoying). What would be great is if custom battle maps based on the racing stages could be added with similar parameter dimensions as the Block Fort arenas level size. So only the parameter is where you can drive / fall off the map. Obviously playing without any bots enabled resolves these issues.. though pretty sure most people will be gaming by themselves or maybe with just one other player with bots on most likely. Smash Bros Remix is a good example of how the stage menu selection could be changed Z/L + R to change level pages. Perhaps 4 battle stages per page to keep everything uniformed. But creating custom battle stages would take some work. An lastly the GP / Time Trial / Vs racing modes should probably just be dropped from this hack entirely. Though it's a valiant effort on your part on what you were trying to accomplish. This is great stuff and looking forward to any future progress / iterations!.. 🖒
