Overview

Gloomy Castle is Bri911's fourth custom track. The players race through a multi-path castle that used to be owned by a villain long ago. Although this castle was supposed to be long-forgotten, there are occurrences that do not suggest it is abandoned like it seems, like the path-switching between laps.

Two years after this track's initial release, the author released a new version with the intention of positively overhauling the gameplay experience. While plans on how to update the track actually began before the track's initial release, slow and steady development of the update did not begin until July of 2021.

Slot Information

It is recommended to put this track on the N64 Bowser's Castle slot because of the KCL sound triggers.
