Background

Since October of 2017, The author has had plans to make a large-scale video project originally titled "The Expanded Wii Universe". The name has since changed, but part of it involved the creation of expanded and edited maps of areas in Wii Games with an attempt to create an entire storyline around it. This is one of the products of the aforementioned project. The author is planning to make an "Expanded Map" for both Coconut Mall and Moonview Highway in the future.

Overview

Maple Treeway: Route 2 is a Custom Track created by JimmyKaz. It takes place within Maple Treeway. However, it takes place in a completely different area of the track, far away from the main track itself. It takes place within the normally offroad section of the map. This track features a completely different route than in the original. It goes through the bottom of the original track section, but you never touch it.

Trivia

• This is now the longest amount of time the author has ever spent on a mod. He started at 10:53 AM and finished at 4:32 AM the next day.
• This track does not use the original Maple Treeway model from its BRRES file, The original plan was to just make the road and put it over the DemoCol object to place it in the original model, but it did not work correctly and could not be used as the road, so the model had to be exported for use within a 3d Modeling software to be edited. The new model is slightly offset from its original position.
• The track model was finished within 2 hours, optimization, KMP fixing, KCL Fixing, and fixing other errors took over 16 hours. (It originally looked much, much worse.)
• The KCL alone took over 2 hours to get working properly.
• Some areas of the track have random darkened areas of their textures, this is because the author's modeling software doesn't have a way of properly balancing normals. Trying to fix it with shaders just crashed the game and the author very quickly lost the patience needed to find a fix.
• The Skybox, Materials for the Water and Boost Panel, Texture Animations, and Shaders are from the original Maple Treeway Model.
• The Author originally had planned to add a bridge between the lake and starting area, But the textures were corrupted in the game and the author couldn't find a way to fix it, so a Cannon was added instead.
• The track had to be reimported due to incorrect road scaling (The road itself, not the entire model size) a total of 22 times.
• The author planned to add a small farm section similar to Moo Moo Meadows in this track. But it was scrapped since the author couldn't get both sides of the Wall KCL section to work.
• The original idea was for the track to go around the entire lake, but the author already spent over an hour and a half adding the road that exists now and was very tired.
• The author originally had this exact same concept in mind for a mission within level 8 of The Mario Kart DS Mission Mode Pack for Mario Kart Wii Mission Mode. But the author never managed to finish it due to being busy with other projects.
• The concept for this track type was based off of Night Factory

To do

• Adjust Enemy Routes
