MKWii CTGP Update Gold Stars (April 2024)

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 now. If you look at my splits you could probably figure out why this track is hard af to tt.

Castle of Time (9/10, beat by .265) 3:08
Cool update; I don't really care for the track but I think this update does a lot to inject fresh life into the track. Ghost also got heavily buffed but ig I'm just better than a CT Grandmaster despite that ramp l1 hehe

Starry Cityscape (8.25/10, beat by .544) 6:43
Probably my favorite of the four new tracks; the visuals on this are incredible, especially since bugsy is incredibly talented with lighting. There's a bunch of different shortcuts and routes, so I'd definitely recommend practicing this one offline for a bit because it can be confusing when playing it for the first time! Ghost is a nice challenge as well. NOTE: There was a NLC found that is forcing this to get hotfixed; should be out within a couple days of this video releasing. Might be better to put this one off until the hotfix but should be similar difficulty to this.

Thwomp Swamp (7.5/10, beat by .031) 9:56
Minor update that I couldn't care less about; track was forgetful to begin with and I don't think this will do that much to improve its rep. I do like how this version feels smoother, however. As for the ghost, it definitely didn't need to be this hard lmao; should've been around 1 second slower to be around the previous version's difficulty.

Windy Whirl (6.25/10, beat by 1.477) 12:11
Minor update that fixes bugs and updates the audience (as a bonus, find me somewhere in the audience!). ESG is same difficulty but uses auto jetsetter which is impressive ngl. My run sucks and can def be beaten by a couple seconds if I actually tried.

Melody Sanctum (6/10, beat by 1.168) 14:46
Minor update, doesn't really change much. Ghost is a minor buff but not too bad if you do shroomless at least once. W stig tho.

Aquadrom Stage (5/10, beat by 2.382) 17:23
Massive, massive W update - probably one of my favorite updates in a while. Brings back amazing aspects of the og version and actually makes this track feel more like a water park. The slide can be a bit annoying but just drift into it (i.e., don't wheelie), and you should stick for a good bit of time. Ghost is fair and is ultimately about just getting beginning shroomless 3/3 and not screwing up elsewhere. Can also do wallbounces for extra timesaves (but screw that lmaoooo)

GBA Luigi Circuit (3.5/10, beat by 3.447) 20:12
Minor update that only changed item set placements as suggested by comp players. You're welcome for the nerf (I wanted to do 3 different shroomspots for ghost but the one I do in the vid is the most optimal. If you're struggling, just know that I pulled a PrS Soon and inted hard end of l3 hehe)

The Great Apple War (3/10, beat by 4.026) 22:38
Wacky track, concept is honestly hilarious and can't even take it seriously sometimes lol. Definitely some creative tech and should provide some interesting races online (I already found this out in ctt1). Ghost is easy, just do shroomless 3/3 and you win.

Bluster Blob Bluff (1/10, beat by 7.967) 25:05
Another wacky track, kinda feels like the sequel to Lumpy's but I like Lumpy's more. Definitely creative for an ice-themed track with how it incorporates KC-like streams. Also do NOT take the loop cut (the one shown in the vid) with a mega b/c you can't make it; pretty sure you can't with a star either. Ghost is free; my run isn't amazing but despite the track being relatively challenging, it's a lot easier to finish runs than you think. Just don't fall off or hit the snowman enemies more than a few times :P
