Airship Fortress -- Mariokart DS / Wii

Archive: 8 posts


A faithful re-creation of the vintage Mariokart DS classic, with a few small twists. 3rd place nets you Monty Mole, 2nd place wins Bullet Billy, while 1st place takes home the miniature airship ( the ones seen flying around the level )

Careful of the Monty Moles popping up and down trying to hinder your way

Below the deck, the crates that stock the ship with "tea" won't stop coming

On to the engine room, avoiding the laser beams from the ceiling

And near the end turn into a cannonball as you careen towards the castle spiral staircase

Hope you have fun,

Looks fantastic! I will queue it up.

EDIT: Played it. The detail is astounding! The best setpiece is the cannonball transformation sequence, complete with dramatic camera angles. I do want to note that driving through the descending tower staircase felt as if I was moving as slow as molasses in winter, but I got used to it by the final lap. I'm hearting this level. Keep the fantastic levels coming!

Based on your feedback JudgeSpear, and many others, I fixed the spiral staircase at the end and turned it into a smooth Bridge Road. It sacrificed the rumble feeling as your bouncing down the steps but the way the game engine interprets trying to bounce down props is a little much for it at times. Should race a lot quicker and the pacing of the level doesn't have a part that feels like "molasses in winter" anymore.

Improved the opening cutscene at the beginning as well, shows you some explosions opening up the hole(s) in the castle for the cannonball to get in and out as well as providing you with a glimpse at the obstacle near the finish line where there was more cannonball destruction to the track itself. If you skip the opening cutscene I put in an or switch with player sensors that blow it up while your driving or approaching it as the cannonball ( neat effect ).

Sorry for the semi-bump, but, this deserves it.

I played this track last night and I LOVED IT. First of all, t's one of my personal favourite Mario Kart tracks. Secondly, the logic and details were fantastic.

Sadly, I couldn't leave a review on this level in-game, since I was playing Multiplayer, and wouldn't have had the time to (and I don't know if you can leave reviews in multiplayer) But the lack of characters you can have in a review wouldn't let me get all of my thoughts down.

Good job man, keep making tracks. You're good at it.

Good job. The track is like the one from "Mario Kart DS/Wii", and the visuals looked very nice.
PROS:
+Visuals
+The Airship Fortress remake design
+Lighting
+Weapons
+Hazards
CONS:
-The spiral part after the launch part feels a bit too tight
-Good music choices, but the lowered volume made it feel a bit quiet (Other than sound effects)
OVERALL: A yay
