Hello! I'm Rex. I'm a newbie at making custom tracks and other things, so don't expect a ton from me haha :p

I don't find myself good at making original designs, (or tracks in general) so I'll usually do ports instead. I feel very self aware at times, and often end up regretting things I've done nowadays or in the past. There are many things that make me curious, but I don't think I'll ever get answers to those things. Anyways, I guess while I'm writing this, I could go over a few things that got me into creating custom tracks for fun, but if you don't care, that's fine with me.

How I got into CT Making

Pre-First Custom Track

Early 2013, I started getting more into Mario Kart Wii. I've had the game since soon after it released, just never really got into what other people had done with the game. I remember seeing some classic custom tracks that were new back then on Youtube, don't remember which ones exactly though. I took a break from the game a bit before Nintendo WFC shut down, but in either late 2016 or early 2017, I found out that I could play online still though Wiimmfi, and that CTGP included it, which I never figured out how to get before then, so I decided to check it out, and I ended up playing custom tracks for the first time. I was mainly enjoying myself playing online and doing time trials, but I always had the dream to make custom tracks myself. I've always been into creating custom things, whether it be with an in-game creator, or with external modding tools. I mean, I don't have great ideas... but it keeps me entertained, so I'm happy just for that. At the tail-end of 2018, I started developing a private, unnamed custom track. This track was nothing special, it was flat, had way too much offroad, and was generally buggy. I am glad I never released that custom track, since if I did, people would just joke about it being bad, and not really give me suggestions on what to improve.

First "true" CTs

After that, I decided to make a more official custom track of sorts, which is how Sherbet Circuit came to be. I was still using outdated tools to make the track, so doing things was much harder. I really wish I never released this though, since I absolutely regret a lot of the things I did with it. I made a more quick custom track the day after, LCP Floor It 1, which was inspired off a track from the minigame in Spongebob LCP, but it wasn't even close to a remake, honestly. The Alpha and the Beta versions of the course never needed to exist, since they were rushed and also lazy. I later returned to that course to remake it from scratch, but, back to Sherbet Circuit, I was having a lot of issues continuing to update that track. Not only was I starting to think the track was incredibly mediocre, I was also losing interest in it. I eventually just gave up, and decided to no longer update the track, for the best likely, as it's too generic to be liked by the person who created it. In fact, I dislike the track heavily now, due to how bad it makes me look.

I've been more careful creating my tracks since then, having some unreleased test tracks here and there to test multiple things with track making. I still don't really know what else to talk about, and I probably expressed my feelings above very poorly.

Don't really know what else to put up here, so I'll update this profile whenever I feel like it.

Old/Unsupported projects

These are projects that I don't plan on continuing, and these will no longer be updated unless it is for something very minor. Other people are free to update these projects if needed. (this goes for my other projects as well)

Custom Tracks

Track Name	Latest Version	Info
Sherbet Circuit	RC3 (2019-06-06)	Discontinued due to the ways I made this track, as I didn't use modern tools when making the initial track, and I find the track boring to race on in general, not to mention the buggy enemy and item routes, along with various other problems with the course. I completely despise this course now due to many reasons.

Custom Arenas

Arena Name	Latest Version	Info
GCN Pipe Plaza	Alpha 2 (2019-04-04)	No longer updating this, simply due to having lack of interest.
