    This pack was made so you can enjoy a variety of fan-created content based on the Mario Kart license, with no RC car in sight. This include 10 custom cars with bright new parameters and optional skins, 16 custom tracks, 2 battle arenas, various gfx, sounds and UI changes to the original game,

    Mario Kart RV pack tends to change many aspects to the main game, so you might consider playing it on its own, rather than adding this to your existing game.

    How to play ?

    This pack uses the Super Pro category to select only Mario Kart characters for your races without interfering with stock content.

    To enjoy it to the fullest, you need to play without other super pro cars installed. Here's a few ways to do it :

    • Place the content of this pack on a fresh install
    • Using the launcher, place the pack content in the pack folder [rvmmpacks] and create a new preset selecting this pack only.

     

    In game, I would recommend you to play with Arcade mode, to avoid collision issues. You can go up to 9 AI competing with you.

  2. At first I want to say, that it is a really great idea, to make a pack out of all the Mario Kart content available for Re-Volt.

    But sadly this pack feels a bit half-baked to me. The biggest issue is, that it is not a total conversion/total replacement of Re-Volt/RVGL. The original Re-Volt content is still there, also the standard cups including the whole progress table won’t be replaced by Mario Kart content. If it would have been done the same way as Ahma and Erzu has done it with “Re-Volt Hardcore”, the whole pack would feel more coherent.

    The second biggest issue are the weapons. The weapon icons themself were replaced, but the weapon effects not. An example are the rockets, which still look the same as in Re-Volt. Other items like the “POW” replaced the shock, which does not make much sense in my eyes. Other weapons like the star (which replaced the battery), or the green shells (which replaced the balloons) are really nice, tho. That’s what I meant with “half-baked” at the beginning.

    A big plus are the font, SFX and music replacements. These feel great overall, and bring the typical Mario Kart feeling. The unique honks are awesome! A few things like the RC-car servo-sound not replaced were missed, sadly. Also, at some tracks the weapons were not replaced at all (Best Milk Farm), which also feels inconsistent. Same goes for some of the star items, which were not replaced as well.

    The third big “issue” are missing stuff like a new designed frontend. Already a very simple one (like for example a green version of my “Simple Frontend”) would have worked wonders, I think! Also other stuff like the replacement of the RVGL-logo were missed. You replaced the loading screen for example, so the direction was the right already :) It was just not finished consequently.

    So Kudos for the overall idea of making a Mario Kart pack for Re-Volt, Capi, but a lot of stuff could have been done, to make it a much better overall experience! Maybe you are up for an update? I hope so! I would be up for helping you with some parts (like the frontend, for example). Just contact me via PM if you feel like for it. :)
