The Great Raceway

Normal link
Beta link

The second of my 'Accelerated Race' series of maps.   No, you won't find much in the way of originality here (although I did make the first race of its kind), but what you will find is a quick, fun-filled, competitive racing game.   Paying a bit of homage to the Mario Kart series, I tried to make the minimap look as similar to Mario Kart minimaps as possible.   The key to victory on this style of race is not fast platforming, but skilled maneuvering; by using the arrow keys properly and avoiding walls, you will find yourself going much faster than the competition.

A number of obstacles along the path look to impede your progress; steer wisely or lose precious seconds of time.   On the other hand, there are two shortcuts that can definitely give you the upper hand, but are a bit tricky to access.

Races are auto-run, using keys and the help of WPE for automatic coin placement and resetting.

If you're really looking for a challenge, there are a couple of things you can do.   If you aspire to get your name on the map for a day, just beat me in a race and proceed to finish first.   Been there, done that?   Well, try your hand at getting the fastest time possible.   On the winner's path, there are a number of blue coins.   Grab as many of those as you can before the auto reset, and get a print screen of it.   The 'track record' will be the highest number of blue coins obtained.   The record will be shown here, as well as on the map.   (Yes, I know this system is flawed due to the couple seconds variation on start time, but it's workable)

In the future, I may implement path changes using WPE, so be on the lookout if you're interested.

Special Thanks:

The auto-run is currently down while I make updates to the track (namely, making the borders rainbow)

Re: The Great Raceway

After this map being down for several months due to some glitch, the most recent update has fixed the map.   I will re-enable the autorun and revive this map, since there are probably many new players who haven't experienced it (as well as old players that simply want to enjoy it again).   I will probably make a track modification or two in a week or so.
