F-Zero Big Blue
Big Blue is a track from the SNES game F-Zero. It is the second course of the game, and is famous for its distinctive theme song. Much like Mario Circuit or Bowser's Castle, Big Blue is a recurring venue in subsequent F-Zero games. Big Blue levels have been featured in other game series including Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, and most recently, Mario Kart 8 as part of the Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 downloadable content pack. A detailed map of the original SNES track from snesmaps.com was traced in SketchUp to ensure an accurate track layout.
Differences from the original
Since karts are slower than F-Zero machines, the energy recharge area has been converted to a boost pad and additional boost panels are placed on the track as in White Land I. In the speed-modified version found in CTGP Revolution, some of the boost panels are difficult to use without hitting the edges of the track. The orange 'magnetic repulsors' that border the track spin players out when touched and are raised at an angle as in F-Zero X. This version has futuristic bio domes and buildings, inspired by the Super Smash Bros. Melee stage.
Currently, there are two ports available:
