The track is heavily inspired by ''[[wikipedia:Brotherhood (New Order album)|Brotherhood]]'' by [[wikipedia:New Order (band)|New Order]] &ndash; especially the song "[https://youtu.be/1jr6oLyK-8w Broken Promise]", and was meant to capture feelings of harnessing your anger into something you can use to motivate yourself further. It was meant to be an angry-feeling track and a look into what it feels like to rebirth yourself from the ashes and show your inner strength, regardless of what people tell you.

Overview

The Castle of Broken Promises is a custom track created by ISwearChris. It was created for the 54th edition of the Custom Track Jam competition series, where it placed fourth. The track is a large-scaled castle above the clouds, with purple colors and rainbow boost panels. The second half of the track consists of a bunch of floating platforms, and features GBA Bowser Castle 3-like jump pads and a fast-paced lava stream.

The track is heavily inspired by Brotherhood by New Order – especially the song "Broken Promise", and was meant to capture feelings of harnessing your anger into something you can use to motivate yourself further. It was meant to be an angry-feeling track and a look into what it feels like to rebirth yourself from the ashes and show your inner strength, regardless of what people tell you.

Slot Information

It is recommended to put this track on slot 7.2 for the lightning opening ambience.
