Watch out for items in your My Stuff folder (if it's enabled), as Variety Pack does feature modified menus, text and Common.szs. If you find anything in your My Stuff folder that may disrupt gameplay and other things, remove the files or disable My Stuff entirely.

Overview
The Variety Pack is a custom track distribution that features 128 custom tracks (32 in the demo and Variety Pack Lite), ranging from difficult to "meme"-like, to even some that are in CTGP Revolution (hence the name "variety"). The pack was founded by Tombwarrior and is developed by Bladestorm227, Skipper93653, MrFib, Diamond, JαmεςH, AlphaFlame, and Bearably. The Great Role Reversal is present in all modes except Mission Mode.
Chaotic Mode
In v1.0 – v1.2, Chaotic Mode (previously known as Frantic Mode prior to v1.4) was introduced as a new mode that uses the ItemSlotTable.slt in every track's SZS file from Electric Shredder. This means that you can get any item in any position, but powerful items have a higher chance of appearing.
From v1.21 onward, Chaotic Mode got reworked so that it uses ItemSlot.bin in the Common.szs. However, the chances of getting any item is completely equal. Thunder Clouds were removed entirely and you can no longer get the POW Block in 1st place, making it slightly more balanced.
Blue Shell Showdown
Introduced in v1.3, a new mode called Blue Shell Showdown was added, which heavily increases the probability of Blue Shells being received from the item roulette, while every other item has been revoked of its probability or have been made for the lower positions only. The ItemSlot.bin has been modified to give first place dodge items (such as Mushrooms or Stars), which have obviously been balanced depending on their power. Like in normal gameplay, Blue Shells will only appear after 30 seconds into the race.
Although it was fixed in v1.31, there was previously a side effect in this mode that caused objects on certain custom tracks to turn invisible, but still keeping their collision.
Track Request
If you would like to suggest a new track for v2.0, head to the track wishlist and add the track you would like to see, in v2.0, to the list.
If you want an existing track to be removed for v2.0, head to the removed tracks list and add the track to be removed.
