Overview

Heart of China is Wingcapman's first custom track. It wasn't originally designed as a race course, so it's quite similar to ports of other non-race course levels in that it does not have a clearly defined track. "Heart of China" is based on a story written by Wingcapman. Normally there is not a race path for this area, but he decided to make a Mario Kart Wii race-compatible track of it anyway.

-* [http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af35/WINGCAPMAN/HoCPOC.png~original Different roof design and bridge, plus an extra path.]
-* [http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af35/WINGCAPMAN/Winter_0014_bridge.png~original A closer look to the bridge and to the road's texture.]
-* [http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af35/WINGCAPMAN/Winter_0013_gate.png~original Changed and added some small details to different objects in this track, like this gate for example.]

-* [http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af35/WINGCAPMAN/Winter_0032_OB-fadeaway-concept.png~original Progress as of May 30, 2016] Created a new kind of thing for the vision. The mountain-concept of the whole location will be no more, but instead it's a never-ending ground/grass area (or snow in this case).
-* [http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af35/WINGCAPMAN/Winter_0033_Progress-if-all-triangulated.png~original Progress as of May 31, 2016] Quality-check. Looks like the amount of faces is twice as less than v1.5.3b, this fixed the slow-down in 2Player mode, and let's try keeping it that way!
-* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQUOTFfn91s Progress as of June 5, 2016] Improved the CPU route. Comparing with version 1.5.3b, the CPU players are not that slow anymore. The reason why their difficulty is improved because the track's layout is being "nerfed".

+"After 7 long years of experiencing the world of 3D modelling and experimenting with it, my very first custom Mario Kart Wii track is finally done. Aside from the small details that are a bit questionable, I'll say it's finished. Eventually stuff became too much for me and I needed to ask some help to finish this project, and now that it's finally done, this project can now rest in peace... On my end at least. For everyone who's currently reading this message, thanks for reading and thanks for playing. If you have an idea to change stuff around, feel free to share the ideas! I can't wait to see what everyone has in mind when it comes to modifications. And the same goes for ideas for stuff like Mission mode, or even battle. Sharing is caring!" - [[Wingcapman]] 19:30, November 10 2019 (UTC)
