Hello! I'm am LoserSpaz which you don't need me., or Zilla for short. "Zilla" seems common on the internet, so I will start going by my full username. I am a Custom Track builder from the United States of America. ''My specialty is ported tracks, or starting with the full model, but I am also an editor.'' I started making Mario Kart Wii Custom Tracks around September 2012. I can make most of a custom track by myself, fortunately. The tutorials around here were very helpful! My debut in this community started with [[N64 Luigi Raceway]].

==Important==
You can see my Custom Tracks with their own page in my user link. I may make 1 or 2 more announcements, but I'll probably stop after that, since I want to trim this page down!
+
*Do not edit and update my work.
 +
*Do not use my work in other Custom Tracks or Texture Hacks.
 +
Thank you.

===[[3DS Wuhu Loop (Zilla)|3DS Wuhu Loop]]===
+
*Too many boost panels (catching up is not allowed!)
I'm simplifying the model right now to avoid the [[Slow Motion Bug]] as best as I can. I'm going for a "just right" size, since the other ports have a bad scale.
+
*Too many cannons (anything to make the game more automatic)
 +
*Loooooooooooong
 +
*Clearly only tested with Mach Bike
 +
*Boost panels on the obviously still-slower split path
 +
*Sticky road is not a substitute for smoothness
 +
*Jump pads for when fixed speed is not required
 +
*Bouncy Mushrooms in original tracks! Or you can just redesign..
 +
*Why you'd put that obstacle way out there? You know we're just going to take the lines
 +
**You put big obstacles on the lines? Meanie
 +
*I think this................. lags a little
 +
*That is not a turn. That is not what a turn looks like
 +
*You failed this section? DO IT AGAIN
 +
*Glitch? Eh, we'll fix it later
 +
*Pointless trick, because boost panel right after it
 +
*Slippery road in tight spaces, because the author hates you
 +
*You came out a little wide? You get a perpendicular wall
 +
*Th-th-this feels a bit-bit-bit bumpy
 +
*Don't you remember what these original Objects do if you can hit them?
 +
*You don't think that cannon/boost/item row is a bit too close to the finish line?
 +
*Why are these respawns so high?
 +
**Why are these respawns so low?
 +
***Why does this track have both!? Ones on steep hills are especially confusing!
 +
*You know respawns have slots, right?
 +
*Ugh, I was going to make that jump anyway, you meanie
 +
*Sideways cannons, because I don't feel like making proper transitions
 +
*Why is there a boost panel no one can reach, because of bumpiness?
 +
*Oh, NOW you decide I'm out of bounds
 +
*Nope, you can only take the slow route this lap
 +
*Well, it's not like we're able to check both ways before crossing the street
 +
*I hope you know that you move slower in the air than on land
 +
**Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalling
 +
*You may think you fixed the glitch, but you didn't!
 +
*Updated? Now it's even worse!
 +
*You've established a meta? Time to change all the rules with this update
 +
*You will never convince me that corkscrews are fun or interesting
 +
*Physics and sticky tricks go together like oil and water
 +
*My tires are 5 inches off the ground, so obviously this is a trick opportunity
 +
*Giant off-road shortcut that skips 10% of the track, especially near the end for maximum fun on lap 3
 +
*1 lap tracks, because adaptation is banned
 +
*I'm not remaking my BRRES again, so deal with it
 +
*You can hop over trick-able cliffs to skip them! And fall. Use a ramp.
 +
*Track is clearly only designed for Time Trial mode
 +
*Boost panels that are as thick as an atom
 +
*Stop! Put that shuttle loop down! You do not know better!
 +
*Yes hello Lakitu, yes this first turn is way too early WOULD YOU KINDLY MOVE OUT OF MY SIGHT LINE
 +
*There's this revolutionary new invention called "3D hills and slopes", perhaps you haven't heard of it
 +
*I dipped my toes into the water, so therefore I am dead
 +
*Gameplay/Aesthetics, you can only have 1. Hm... pretty track.. :D

=== Unintuitive Layout ===  
Ask [[SpyKid]] about percentage of completion. I will assist in KMP, testing, and whatever else comes up.

'''The curse of knowledge and complete lack of testing by people that are not you.'''
  
===[[N64 Yoshi Valley (Zilla)|N64 Yoshi Valley]]===
+
*Blind turns
This track is about 84% completed. I need to make Item Routes, add enemies, and make all the cameras. The Giant Yoshi Egg is done. A lot of background details are planned to make the course have more to do with its owner.<br>''Don't expect me to do anything drastic with the slower routes or the 180° loop shortcut.''

*Oh sorry, you missed the road when it started getting randomly fenced? Go back around
 +
*A random obstacle appears in your path while you jump over a hill!
 +
*Where the heck do I go
 +
*Drop down by hitting a wall, losing all prior speed and be forced to rely on tricks or boost panels
 +
*The outermost pixel of your character touched the cliff? You fall off
 +
*Why is there so much open space? This isn't an adventure game
 +
*There's really no need to make a course absolutely bonkers. Really.
 +
*Enemies can't decide if they want to take tight lines or wide lines
 +
*Middle of the cannon is the only safe entry point
 +
*I can plow through this object with a Star in other games, but not this one, because the author was lazy and used cactus KCL
 +
*Super secret door game-winning shortcut that only the cool kids know about
 +
*Boost ramp isn't connected to the wall, which results in a fall boundary or an awkward skip
 +
*Don't you think the ramp and off-road are in reverse order?
 +
*Boost/trick ramp sends you too far, resulting in skipping the upcoming platform and falling

Dark announcement. I probably won't work on this until Wuhu Loop and N64 Yoshi Valley are done, but I'm well aware of how many extra things that are not in the Wii Sports Resort model. Also, both authors that have announced their own port have in/directly asked me for help, and I shouldn't help both of them.

===[[SM64 Castle Grounds]] v1.0===
+
{{User-zilly-Link}}
Same as SM64 Tall Tall Mountain. I have the Super Mario Galaxy model, but I'm hesitating to use it, since it lacks the entire underwater section.
 
 
 
=Battle Arenas=
 
I haven't released any Battle Arenas yet, but here are some I have in progress:
 
 
 
===SMS Delfino Plaza===
 
This track is on hiatus. I'll probably start over by ripping it myself. I may or may not get the [[SMS Delfino Plaza]] page. If not, I'll have to make a disambiguation that distinguishes the battle version from the race version.
 
 
 
===[[GCN Luigi's Mansion]]===
 
This track is on hiatus. I'll have to start this over some other time. Unfortunately, (username censored) prematurely announced this. Don't expect a release any time soon, just because it was officially announced.
 
 
 
===3DS Wuhu Town===
 
Dark announcement. This model won't need nearly as much tweaking as 3DS Maka Wuhu, so why not? Actually, don't tell me.
