Do not remove rejected tracks from a wishlist. It is not your decision to remove them from there. You may be blocked from the Wiiki if you continue to do this, as it is considered to be vandalism. --KantoEpic (talk) 21:34, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

F-Zero Porting

How did you make your F-Zero ports? I’m trying to port a track from that game and I need help. Tpointer56 (talk) 15:59, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

You're supposed to get a map of a course from snesmaps.com and trace it in Google Sketchup. --Retrostyle12 (talk) 18:53, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Hints at least for your Ghost Valley tracks

You should read the following parts of the tutorials:

• Lowering Walls to remove Bean corners.
• Moiré pattern and Mipmaps

Yellow Loop

I have a SketchUp model for a remake of Yellow Loop if you want it. It just needs texture mapping. Toxic Prime (talk) 18:40, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

I want to see it, Toxic Prime. --Retrostyle12 (talk) 19:39, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Yellow Loop is right here. Toxic Prime (talk) 20:47, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Just a heads up: TAS Rhys made his own version of Yellow Loop using the same model and I’m going to test it when I get home from school. Can you pause your version until I say which version should come out? Thanks! Toxic Prime (talk) 18:30, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Wild Canyon 3

There’s no download link. Can you please fix it? I also heard you have to send a request for permission to download the track. Can you fix that too? Thanks Toxic Prime (talk) 23:29, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

I fixed it. I made sure that you don't have to ask for permission too. --Retrostyle12 (talk) 00:26, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Downloads and Videos

Why are you removing download links and videos for previous versions of your tracks? I get it if a track previously blackscreened, but I don't understand why you're doing this otherwise. --KantoEpic (talk) 05:34, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

I never got an answer for this, yet you're still doing the same actions. Why exactly have you been doing this? --KantoEpic (talk) 03:27, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Because I am trying to conserve space on my google drive. I am also worried that I might run out of space. Since you've been asking about this, I will make an account on MEGA. --Retrostyle12 (talk) 06:07, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

If you're concerned about storage space, you might as well just upload files to Discord. --KantoEpic (talk) 02:42, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Regarding your Custom Tracks' download links

It seems like you update the download link for each version of your custom tracks. To keep the downloads of the older versions, you should not do this, and instead, upload the newer versions as separate files, with new download links, while still keeping the old ones on the version history. This way, there's no vaporware (downloads that are announced but without a download link).

Battle Arenas

Please follow: Talk:DS GCN Block City (Retrostyle12) -- Wiimm (talk) 11:10, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

About speed factor 0.5

The internal speed factor for 50/100/150cc=mirror are 0.8/0.9/1.0. For battles it is 0.7. If you release tracks with speed factor 0.5, the resulting speed factors are 0.4/0.45/0.5 for 50/100/150cc. These are 4..5 steps below the usual speed — in my opinion much too slow. -- Wiimm (talk) 06:14, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Retro vs Custom

Hi, I noticed that the SBK tracks and a SNES arena are listed as custom and not retro in your page. Not that it's a huge deal, but still. Cealgair (talk) 08:48, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

I wouldn't classify them as retro tracks, since they are remakes of custom tracks from Super Mario Kart. The only way a track would qualify as a retro is the track being from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart Tour, and other games that have areas that have CT material. In my eyes, it doesn't count as a retro if it is a remake of a custom track from any of these games. --Retrostyle12 (talk) 03:22, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

My bad, I missed that. I thought SBK stood for Snowboard Kids like it does here. Cealgair (talk) 11:54, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

SBK stands for Super Baldy Kart. Super Baldy Kart is a ROM hack of Super Mario Kart by Dirtbag. --Retrostyle12 (talk) 21:44, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
