Rating Curve

this level is awesome. usually when levels try to reference other games they either do so without sticking too much to the source material, or they try and do a 1 to 1 recreation. this level falls somewhere in between, it clearly tries to recreate the look of the mario kart track, but also adds to it with ideas that work well in a gd level, like the pow blocks orbs or the minecarts carrying around portals for the player to interact with. also, the beginning of the level gives me 2003devin vibes lol.

this level rocks. amazing song. fun, interesting gameplay that while might be frustrating to learn at first, does get consistent after some practice. the flashes, the sync, its just one of those levels that make you feel like a badass as you go through them, despite not really being that difficult at all. the designs look good while also sometimes being really interesting and unique like from 77% to 87%. Just a banger I love to replay from time to time.

in terms of decoration this level really doesn't do anything crazy, even for the time the structuring and design are fairly simple. and yet, this still manages to be one of the most memorable levels in the game. the song is absolutely the focal point of the level, and everything in the level works to complement that: the gameplay syncs nicely to the song and the flashes of color match the beat and give life to what would otherwise be very bland structures. i'm happy that even with the release of the 2.0 update Migueword decided to keep things simple instead of experimenting too much with 2.0 gimmicks (a mistake many creators made when building levels around this time). one of my absolute favourite levels of this difficulty.
