Overview

Pipeline Skyway is a custom track with an island and a cannon that leads to a sky path with bouncy pipes.

v3.0 is a complete remake that has been in very slow on-and-off development since early 2015. It adds the author's first attempt at UV mapping, a 3D skyway section as opposed to paper-thin roads, and an underwater halfpipe replacing the second island (as was the author's original vision for the track).

It is also the first ever custom track to utilize AREA type 0x02 and multiple BFG entries to change the fog effect during gameplay – there is white fog above water, and thick blue fog underwater.

The track is very difficult, mostly due to the physics-heavy halfpipe section and the sloped final part of the skyway section.

v3.0 takes full advantage of Koopa Cape's Sound Trigger KCL to change the music (best heard with the default BRSTM). This will cause problems with single track BRSTMs.
