Oddie here, bringing you a pretty big post about Sixfour Kart: World Tour, a massive total modification of Dr. Robotnik’s Ring Racers with new tracks, characters, and a lot more under the hood changes. If you have already played Ring Racers most of this will be stuff you know.

= General Changes =

= Items =

First off, every single item in Ring Racers has been reskinned to fit the general aesthetic of SKWT. The list is below:

Rings - Coins

Orbinaut - Squirtle Shell

Jawz - Chewtle Shell

SPB - Turtonator Shell

Banana - Nanab Berry

Sneaker - Oran Berry

Rocket Sneaker - X-Speed

Super Ring - Stack ‘o Coins

Pogo Spring - Air Balloon

Hyudoro - Haunter

Eggmark - Fake Item Box

Ballhog - Bullet Seed

Proximity Mine - Blast Seed

Land Mine - Blast Trap

Drop Target - Bumper

Gardentop - Spinning Top

Flame Shield - Flame Charge

Bubble Shield - Bubble

Thunder Shield - Zenith Shield

Gachabom - Gyro Orb

Invincibility - Awakening Emera

Grow - Wishing Star

Shrink - Minimize Ray

Additionally, SKWT contains three items not seen in Ring Racers. These include...

= TORKOAL SHELL =

Meet the volatile cousin of the Squirtle Shell, the Torkoal Shell! This item which is based on the Black Shell from the Mario Kart Arcade games is a very hard but very rewarding item to use. When used, it functions similarly to a Squirtle Shell, though instead of causing normal damage, it explodes on contact!

= CRACKED WISHING STAR =

A returning item from the original Sixfour Kart that was axed for Ring Racers, the Cracked Wishing Star makes its return as a powerful last resort item! Upon usage, all drivers in front of the user will be stunned, shrunk, and prone to being wiped out when rammed into! It appears extremely rarely in the roulette, only when you’re very far behind.

= ICE SHARDS =

Ice Shards are used similarly to Blast Traps, they pop right out of your kart and land on the floor, and cannot be thrown forward. When someone runs over it, they freeze and start sliding along the course with zero control! In order to regain control, you have to mash the drift button to break free.

= Physics =

Not too much to see here, aside from adjustments to how slopes and water work. Slopes are much easier to climb now, and turning underwater feels a lot more loose.

= Characters =

SKWT’s character list is giant. So much so, that we can’t disclose how many characters are in the game yet. However, we do have tons of new and returning characters from the original Sixfour Kart, so be on the look out for that!

Also, shields will now properly scale with your character’s size. Previously, it would look awkward with how tiny a shield would look on a large character, so this change should hopefully bring some visual consistency!

= Race Mode =

SKWT contains three main race difficulties, and two unlockable ones.

Breezy - 50cc racing. Kick back and enjoy the sights!

Normal - Fast paced fun for everyone at 100cc. Are you up to it?

Brutal - Kick things up to 150cc with harder CPUs!

Nightmare (UNLOCK) - CPUs are at their best and will do anything to win!

Godhand (UNLOCK) - 200cc. This isn’t even remotely fair.

Grand Prix races have been significantly altered for Normal mode. CPU players will start to get better midway through the GP, keeping things challenging but still fair for newcomers. Your rival will also have the same item odds as you on Normal, but from Brutal onward, they’ll put up a fight!

= Closing Words =

Before I close off this post, I would like to showcase a few maps.

= Sixfour Raceway =

= Starlight Bridge =

= Sapphire Lake =

Influenced by the recent Mario Kart World, the Charge Hop is an ability that lets you charge up a jump! This allows for you to get some height and maybe take some creative shortcuts. Can't pass Tripwires with it though.

Pros!

-Extremely satisfying to use

-Could open up interesting movement options

-Just overall looks cool

Cons

Believe it or not, this is one of the two Biancas in Sixfour Kart World Tour. This Bianca is a Zoroark who is laid back and is often seen relaxing, but will not pass up the opportunity to make sarcastic and often times vulgar remarks. She joins the World Tour Grand Prix once she recieves an invitation in the mail from an unknown sender.

Decided to make a discord server for SKWT dev. Marked as 18+ despite there being no NSFW content, mostly because I want it to be a space for adults

Here's one racer that could put you in a trance! Rudy is an Alolan Vulpix from the Arcadia region, and probably the cutest racer on the roster! Don't be fooled, though, as a Jet class character he could slip by unnoticed and blitz the competition! (If they're not already busy being flirted with by him...)

SPEED............................★★★★★★★★★ ACCELERATION..........★ WEIGHT.........................★ HANDLING....................★★★★★★★★★

Driving over certain bodies of water will cause a propeller to spring out from the back of your kart, allowing you to drive over water! This is usually signified by a sign before a segment of a course with a mode change.

Just put up a preview for SKWT, go check it out!

Command your air movements with the Air Trick! In the air, press the DRIFT button to perform a stunt in the air. The type of stunt you'll do varies with the direction you hold on the control stick. You can trick as many times as you want in the air!
