== Layout and Description ==

<!--Should be re-written if possible-->
 
The course is based around a large volcano, set in the midst of a large jungle. The course starts within a small portion of the jungle near the edge of a canyon, with a small straight ahead leading into a 180° turn. Said turn leads the racers into a cannon, which shoots them across the entire length of the course on to the summit of the volcano. Upon landing, a 180° turn is is required to avoid running into a wall. This leads to large downhill section south, headed indirectly towards the finish line. The races are exposed to several 'bumps' on the rocky portion of the volcano, quickly leading onto a dirt road, wrapping around two 180° turns back-to-back, the first leading the racers west into the second head east. Still running down hill, this road lead to sharp 90° turn west near the edge of a cliff, leading into yet another 180° turn around a large ravine. This leads to the lowest elevated portion of the mountain, on a small straight leading to a bridge. The bridge fills these gap between the foothill of the mountain and the starting line, with a large canyon and running river below. In an attempt to throw the players off, the bridge sways back and forth in the 'wind', though the racers usually manage to 'stick' to the bridge on their way across. At last, the finish line is crossed on the other side of the canyon.

*Trickable ramps have been added to the downhill section of the volcano.
 
*Half-pipe ramps were added is several areas.
 
*Most tree's 'faces' no longer include a smile.
 
*The center of the cannon is now white with a fog effect, rather than its previous black appearance.
