MKWii CTGP Update Gold Stars (May 2025)

kind lazy with thumbnails hence the simpler one here

Five months since the last update...damn. For me the highlight of the update are the updated tracks...the strobenz updates and u sky are standouts for me. DKJT is also hype
(difficulty / time beaten by / time took to beat ghost)

Lost Ruins (8.25/10, .298, 1.25 hrs)
Track is a sidegrade since the only noticeable changes gameplay-wise are the beginning cut being nerfed and the moss that removes items after a few seconds. Considering that this is a luck track online, why does this have the hardest ghost of the update lol? The ghost drives really well tho.

Strobenz Desert Illusion (8/10, 1.940, 15 mins) 2:37
Nice QoL, ghost is same difficulty.

Blissful Block (7/10, .776, 15 mins) 5:09
Probably my least favorite of the Strobenz track updates; I preferred the daytime theme and I feel like the cars are actually worse on this version (outside of the red one on l2)? Other than that I don't really mind the track. Ghost is same difficulty.

DK Jungle Tour (6.75/10, .551, 1.5 hrs) 7:58
Track is really fun but definitely has a learning curve; I wish the cut at the beginning of l1 wasn't a thing however. Visually stunning and I'm excited to play this online; idc much about the ramp shroomless but the turnskip after is cool. Ghost is actually a solid challenge.

Anthill & Apian Apts (6.25/10, .729, 1 hr) 10:04
Not a huge fan of this; sure it looks really nice but I'm not a fan with how wonky it plays layout-wise and some of the tech (shroomcut near the end) feels weird. I will give it credit for having some unique aspects but it isn't for me. Ghost is actually really solid for an outside drifting bike.

SRB2K Green Hill Zone (6/10, 2.338, 15 mins) 12:32
idrc about this track but seems like a good recreation. Ghost is easy if you attempt the shroomless turnskip but this does feel like mickey mouse lol.

Underground Sky (6/10, 2.847, 5 mins to get a 1:52.2) 14:31
u sky my baby
but this is a really nice QoL update; sure it removes a bit of skill with cannon stick but I hope this version will be seen as better by the rest of the community because there are some small things that I like more. As for the ghost, I may be over/underestimating its difficulty; idk what to really give it since I am a tops-level player on it. Seems strong, especially its l1, and I would not be surprised if the run in this video stays on tops for a long time despite the wallhit. I can prob 1:51.4 this

GCN Mushroom Bridge (4/10, 1.921, 5 mins) 16:42
literally the only thing that changed was adding one item box lol. Ghost is actually impressive for the combo it uses.

τ-Cryovolcano (3/10, 4.805, 1 try) 18:38
I really enjoy this QoL update as well. Ghost is roughly same difficulty considering the track is slightly faster, but the track is definitely easier now.
