Overview

Warp Pipe Island is a custom track created by Wingcapman and Luke Chandler. It started as a port of the Mario Kart DS beta track Dokan Course in 2015, using Turbo Yoshi's version as a base, but it was eventually remade from scratch three years later, featuring revamped visuals and decoration.

The model was being worked on in SketchUp by Wingcapman, but ported over to Blender once Luke Chandler got to work on it. There are a few images made public that shows the progression of what Wingcapman worked on, along with concept art, right before he gave the project to Luke Chandler. The images can be downloaded here; they are dated from 2014-07-04 until 2018-04-09.

Wingcapman used Turbo Yoshi's version of DS Dokan Course as a textureless base and adding a whole new theme to the track's design by adding mountains and warp pipes. He also added half-pipes, changed the long tube section at the end of the track into a warp pipe that goes through a tunnel and created custom textures for the warp pipe interiors, as well as the pipe models and pipe textures. Luke Chandler finished off the project. He did a reasonable amount of retexturing, created texture animations, remade the KCL and KMP files, and added extra elements inside the track's design, which are the grate in the tunnel, bouncy mushrooms, Dolphin and water geyser models, billboards, and an Easter egg.
