Hey there! I'm AltairYoshi, or simply Altair! I'm a big fan of everything [[Nintendo]] and especially the Mario series. I have a variety of hobbies, such as art, video editing, gaming, and of course modding! I've been modding games since 2018, and I mainly make custom tracks for [[Mario Kart Wii]] and [[Mario Kart DS]], but I'm looking into other games too. My skill in Mario Kart Wii is not very advanced however; I'm a lot more on the casual side with just enough knowledge to survive in Wiimmfi lobbies, which probably reflects on my track design. :P

I have a variety of hobbies, such as art, video editing, gaming, and of course modding! I've been modding games since 2018, with my main focus being ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart DS''. I don't play or mod the games as much as I used to, as my interests have been changing, but I'm making some things here and there.

I use [[Blender]] to create my tracks. I enjoy making tracks that feel like they belong in the Mario world, and I go for fair and fun gameplay, and immersive visuals or settings. I occasionally go for more unique ideas too. In regards to my tracks, I allow any minor updates to them such as slot changes, and any bug fixes if they're not in my plans, a message telling me so on Discord would be appreciated. Including any track in a distribution is totally fine by me, thank you if you do! Lastly, if there's a custom object or model/texture of mine you'd like to use, I'd appreciate asking me first. Most textures I use are from Nintendo's own games however, so you're free to take most of them. Thanks for dropping by, and I hope you enjoy my mods! :D

For my tracks, I use [[Blender]]. My primary track design motto is to make tracks that really feel like places in the Mario universe when it comes to their settings and themes, with gameplay that aims to be somewhat interesting, and fair for all vehicles and players. I'm not very skilled at the game, so high level strats and cuts are not to be expected of what I make. Above all, I enjoy making visually appealing tracks and exploring the wide variety of KMP objects the game offers.
 +
 
 +
My policies regarding my creations are lax for the most part. If you wish to make a small update to one of my tracks, such as a bug fix or slot change, go ahead. If the update greatly concerns gameplay or visuals, I'd appreciate a message on Discord about it. Adding any of my tracks and mods to a distribution is totally fine by me, thank you if you do! If there's a texture, model or object I created that you wish to use in your track feel free, but I'd appreciate credit in the wiki page. Most of my textures are from Nintendo however, so those are obviously fair game. Chances are that any custom objects/models I make will also be released publicly later on, in which case they'll be listed in the ''Other Mods'' section of this page.
