'''When Geeks Custom Track''' is a [[custom track]] created by [[JadenMKW]]. It was made for the 33rd edition of [[BillyNoodles]]'s [[Custom Track Jam]], where it placed second. The track is themed after [[mariowiki:The Bitlands|The Bitlands]] from ''[[mariowiki:Super Paper Mario|Super Paper Mario]]'', with the name being a play on words of the first level, titled "[[mariowiki:The Bitlands#Chapter 3-1: When Geeks Attack|When Geeks Attack]]". Both the author and [[Rex]] made The Bitlands-themed tracks to poke fun at [[Questorian]], who was known within Custom Track Jams for frequently making ''[[mariowiki:Paper Mario|Paper Mario]]'' tracks. The track was made in about the same time frame as [[I Had to Hurry-Scurry to Make This Crap]], although the author is much more pleased at how the gameplay and visuals turned out this time.

''Super Paper Mario is a criminally underrated game that has been a recurring interest of mine over the years (and has just celebrated its 17th anniversary as of v3.0). I am glad to have done it justice in the end. If you haven’t tried the game, I can’t recommend it more. It’s certainly not for everyone, but it has an unmatched amount of charm. Plus, it’ll give you context on a lot of the details and decisions that went into this track. I may have hidden a secret message somewhere within the track as well...''

Overview

Fort Francis (formerly known as When Geeks Custom Track) is a custom track created by JadenMKW. It was made for the 33rd edition of the Custom Track Jam competition series, where it placed second. The track is themed after The Bitlands from Super Paper Mario. Both the author and Rex made tracks themed after The Bitlands to poke fun at Questorian, who was known within Custom Track Jams for frequently making Paper Mario tracks before retiring from the Mario Kart Wii community. This track is dedicated to him.

The v2.0 update and onward greatly expands on the concept, adding an entirely new section passing through the aforementioned Fort Francis, as well as a new Meowmaid custom object (penguin_m). In v3.0, many final visual and gameplay enhancements have been made in preparation for the track's addition to CTGP Revolution.
