SW2 Crown City

The course takes place in the large, eponymous city in the grassland region of the game's map, and is named after the large trophy-shaped statue with a crowned tire on top that serves as a notable landmark and its highest point. A sign just outside the city reads "Home of the Rainbow Fragment". A large suspension bridge called "Crown Bridge" is located in the middle of the map, extending eastward from {{char}} to reach the savannah area of Faraway Oasis. It is used as the starting point in {{char}}'s combined layout, and drivers fly through an opening in the Crown Bridge to enter Rainbow Road. There are four layouts of {{char}}, depending on which route was traversed to reach the course. The first layout (seen in the Mushroom Cup) is used when traveling from Mario Bros. Circuit, Whistlestop Summit, Desert Hills, or Wario Stadium, and in the Ice Rally. It is present in its entirety as the second section without routes. The second layout (seen in the Shell Cup) is used when traveling from DK Spaceport, Koopa Troopa Beach, or Faraway Oasis. A small amount of this layout is driven in reverse for the first section without routes. The route from DK Spaceport starts from the first layout's finish line in reverse, skipping the split path and the straightaway; the other routes start from the third layout's finish line in reverse. The third layout is used when traveling from Peach Stadium, Moo Moo Meadows, or Choco Mountain. A small amount of this layout is driven through as the third section without routes. The fourth layout is a three-section course used when it is selected without routes in VS Race or when playing Time Trials. As mentioned, it combines the entirety of the Mushroom Cup layout with small portions of the Shell Cup and third layouts. Racers start on the west end of Crown Bridge before driving to the right near a Dash Food stop onto the Shell Cup variant in reverse for the first section, though the tunnel, beachfront, and the road to enter the quarter pipe are all absent. The second section consists of the entire Mushroom Cup variant with minimal changes. The third section has drivers take a left turn onto the road where the third variant exits the alleyway; the third variant's alleyway is not used. Rather than taking a ramp on the sidewalk into the water and the docks like the third variant, drivers continue driving on the road to the left of the bridge, where the race ends. The routes both ways between {{char}} and Faraway Oasis take place on Crown Bridge, which includes a few large trucks for drivers to hijack. In {{char}}'s combined layout, drivers start near the end of Crown Bridge. [LIST OF POSSIBLE RACERS: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Toad, Toadette, Koopa Troopa, Wario, Waluigi, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Pauline, Shy Guy, Donkey Kong, Daisy, Rosalina, Lakitu, Birdo, King Boo, Bowser Jr., Goomba, Wiggler, Dry Bones, Hammer Bro, Nabbit, Piranha Plant, Sidestepper, Monty Mole, Stingby, Penguin, Cheep Cheep, Cow, Para-Biddybud, Pokey, Snowman, Cataquack, Chargin’ Chuck, Coin Coffer, Conkdor, Dolphin, Fish Bone, Peepa, Pianta, Rocky Wrench, Spike, Swoop] [SPECIAL KARTS: The basic model for everyone is the Standard Kart. It has red cover on the top and a blue cover on the bottom. There is a custom emblem on the front of the kart. It has black, glossy tires with yellow hubcaps. It has a very comfortable leather seat and a firm steering wheel. There are two extra features on these karts. First is the plane wings. Pressing the wings button activates the plane wings, so you can fly over large gaps. The wings are NOT customizable, and are only used for slow descent, NOT flying. The second feature is drifting. If you make the kart hop and land diagonally, you can drift. When drifting, sparks will appear on the ground. They will start out as a blue color. Drift longer, and the sparks will turn orange. Drifting longer than that will turn the sparks purple. Releasing a drift gives you a speed boost, with blue being the shortest, and purple being the longest. If you hop and don’t turn, you will charge up a jump that you can use to land on rails and walls. These karts can also grind on rails and can drive on WALLS only. When driving over deep water, the kart will automatically change its tires into motors that help float across the water. This mode is used in tracks like Wario Shipyard, Cheep Cheep Falls, and Starview Peak. Doing stunts in the air with the kart gives you a speed boost.] [SPECIAL BIKES: The basic model of the bike for everyone is the Standard Bike, a motocross motorcycle. The bikes are capable of doing everything the karts can do, and they can also preform wheelies, which increase top speed by 5 Km/h.] [ITEMS: Scattered across a the region of Kartonia, there are glowing boxes that contain special items inside. Simply drive through the box to collect he item. When collected, an item will automatically drag behind you until you pick it up and use it. These are very common around Kartonia, and it is not hard to find one. They are often found on the racetracks.] [LIST OF ITEMS: Coin: Grants you 2 coins. Coins are used to increase your top speed. ? Block: Produces coins every time it is hit. Can be hit 10 times. Banana Peel: Place it behind you or throw it forward. Anyone who comes into contact with the banana will spin out and lose momentum. Triple Banana Peel: a set of three banana peels. They revolve around you and defend against attacks. Dash Mushroom: Gives your kart a speed boost when used. Can be used to dodge Blue Shell attacks. Triple Dash Mushrooms: A set of three mushrooms. They revolve around you. If an opponent touches the mushrooms, they get a smaller speed boost. Gold Mushroom: A mushroom that lasts for 10 seconds. You can use it repeatedly. Mega Mushroom: Enlarged you and your kart. Can flatten other racers. Also gives a slight speed boost. Lasts for 10 seconds. Green Shell: A shell the goes in a straight line. Can bounce off of walls 7 times before breaking. Anyone hit by the shell comes to a crashing stop. The shell also breaks when it hits someone. Triple Green Shell: a set of three green shells. They revolve around you and block attacks. Red Shell: Unlike the green shell, the red shell homes in on the racer in front of you. Throwing it backwards deactivates the homing function. Triple Red Shells: A set of three red shells. They revolve around you and can be used for offense. Blue Shell: Targets the player in first place and explodes on them. It is possible to dodge a Blue Shell explosion by using a Mushroom. Coin Shell: travels down the middle of the road and produces coins. Feather: sends you into the air, dodging banana peels and shells. Hammer: thrown in front of you. Anyone hit will crash. Fire Flower: Allows you to throw fireballs. Anyone hit will spin out. Ice Flower: Allows you to throw ice balls. Anyone hit will freeze and become stuck for 3 seconds. Boomerang Flower: Throw a boomerang three times. Anyone hit will spin out. Bob-omb: Explodes after 5 seconds of being placed. Boo: Turns you invisible for a short duration. The Boo will steal an item from another racer. Bullet Bill: Transforma you into Bullet Bill for a short duration, speeding along the track and knocking over other racers. Lightning: Shocks everyone in front of you, shrinking them and reduces their top speed. Super Star: Makes you invincible for a short time. Blooper: sprays ink on all karts in front of you, obscuring their vision temporarily. Super Horn: emits a shockwave around your kart, destroying nearby items and spinning out opponents.] [EXTRA GIMMICKS: On almost every course, there are special glowing panels that racers can drive over. A orange panel signals a boost panel. This gives your kart a speed boost equivalent to an orange drift boost. A blue panel signals a glide panel. Driving over this will automatically activate your karts plane wings. For gaps that are too large to glide over, you have to drive through a cannon that launches your kart up. The cannon has a blue panel inside, so that it activates your plane wings. ]
