Special Slots

Most tracks will run on all Slots, with exceptions of Slots 4.2, 6.1 and 6.2. Additionally, some tracks will only run at Slots 3.1 and 7.1. Here are the rules for these Special Slots:

  • Tracks can run on Slot 4.2 only if they have at least one truck, car, or bomb car and have the special MDL0 from the original track containing polygon11 and polygon60.
  • Tracks will run on Slot 6.1 only if the sub file ice.brres is inserted. Furthermore, this sub file is necessary to activate the KCL flag 0x10 with variant 003 (0x70), or the game will freeze.
  • Tracks using Objects HeyhoShipGBA or HeyhoBallGBA will only run on Slot 6.2 and they must use HeyhoShipGBA with a route and the object pocha with water fall boundary flag to run.
  • Tracks using Objects sunDS or pylon01 will only run on Slot 3.1 and 7.1.
  • Some tracks using object poihana (Cataquacks from GCN Peach Beach), cannot run on Slot 5.1. Curiously, the object is used on this Slot by Nintendo.
  • All other Slots are different for KCL Sound Triggers, particular sounds or GFX for KCL flags, or what effects they give to tracks.

Slot Expansion

It is possible to expand the track selection list to include more slots. It should be noted that new slots have no unique slot features, but can use special slot effects and music slots.
