Feature: Reverse Cup #46

Closed Omega207 closed 2 years ago

Omega207 commented 2 years ago

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'s files for the prototype of the game, there exists a now-unused function for the game: the Reverse Cup. This was later replaced by the Mirror Cup in all future Mario Kart entries. I am curious, is there any way to restore this into CTGP-7 (Mario Kart 7)? How does the game handle the Mirror Cup maps? Does the game use a separate version of the tracks, or does it flip it on the fly? Can anyone make the stage go in reverse instead of being flipped sideways?

Any feedback relating to this is appreciated. Keep it up, CTGP-7!

Can this at least be done with CTGP-exclusive tracks? I think this would be a nice addition to the game.

Mirror mode works by inverting the camera and then inverting the controls. Reverse tracks would need to be made for each track specifically, adding extra elements to make them work. This is up to the custom track creators, and I doubt the work needed will be worth it.

Interesting... Thank you for the info. I understand the issues. If the plan was easier, and included a alternate track instead of being mirrored on the fly, then I'd think doing this would be much more interesting than a mirrored track. I will now close the issue.
