Template:Track rating

Rock Rock Mountain is the seventh track created by kHacker and his third using sketchup. The idea of using a MK7 track appeared shortly after the release of his KMP Modifier v2, mainly because designing is not his best part of the creation process. The final model of the track has big similarities with the orginal 3DS version with minor changes and less pipes and ramps which were mainly there for the glider part, which is not prescent in the track. Currently there is an incomplete release canidate for v1.1, which is out of development. The track has a big black hole under the track which was left there due the lack of time for the creator.

Development

The development of Rock Rock Mountain started in March 2012, using Sketchup. Because the model had to be very advanced it had been in development for 2 months in Sketchup, and another 3 months in 3DS Max. The textures are from orginal nintendo tracks and edited by Worldboss. Baoulettes has converted the model to 3DS Max file and has helped making the model work in 3DS Max and in Brawlbox. The KMP had been in development since July, along the 3DS Max buisness and was the last thing to be finished before the release. The last weeks before release was especially work in Brawlbox, where Torran has helped a lot. There were some problems with the shadows of the trees and later when the shadows were fixed by Torran de boost pads had a new mapping, this mapping is still in the final version. The track is finnaly released mid-august, after a race against the clock, only hours before kHacker was leaving for 2 weeks. The bugs discovered while testing had minor fixes and where further left alone. Those bugs are fixed a month later but due a nasty freeze and the lack of motivation v1.1 is not released yet.

Overview

The first track ever to be based off Mario Kart 7. The main goal while developping was to make it enjoyable, rather than making it look perfect. The scale of the road is small compared to Mario Kart 7 and very small compared to other Mario Kart Wii tracks and has received alot of critism. The track itself looks a lot like the orginal Rock Rock Mountain, except for some scaling and model details. The ramps after the big bridge are replaced by woodboxes to prevent wheely-abuse to make karts have a bigger chance. The textures are very light, just like the orginal version for Mario Kart 7. This also got critism and are darkened in v1.1.

Like all other 3DS tracks, this track has been given a new name for the sake of the CTGPR to avoid copyright issues. In the CTGPR it is now known as Rock Rock Ridge.

Reception

Release Canidate 3 has been downloaded 100 times the first 2 weeks after release and has reached the 400 downloads in October 2012. The track has received a lot of critism. The maiority of the people have been complaining about the black hole under the track and the lack of some details. But even with the critism, much people like playing on this track and the track is voted sometimes in the CTGPr (there were some tracks are never voted).
