Super Luke Kart is a Project I created in a partnership between Canal: Resenhando Com Luke and The World of Hack ROM's Group.
The main idea was to create new tracks to get a nice feeling of playing the original game from new perspectives, but with close quality.
Through this Project I also wanted to bring the members of the Channel and the TWOHR Group closer together, giving them the possibility to create their own track that in the end was part of Hack!
I was very excited about this project, because it worked very well, had a good participation, more than I even expected.
The strong car of Canal Resenhando Com Luke and Grupo: The Word of Hack ROMs have always been like SMK Hacks.
****************
*HOW IT WORKED*
****************
First I was creating the tracks and testing them as I had time.
So, as I said, a space was opened for Group and Channel members who wanted to design a track, send it to me so that it could enter the game.
One of the cups would be for these clues, that is, we would have 5 clues from the members in the Members Cup, but I received more than 5 clues so 3 more clues in the Mix RcL Cup were also for the members. So A Copa Especial (Mix RcL) brought my tracks and those from subscribers, totaling 8 tracks from subscribers and the rest of my authorship. Plus 4 battle tracks I made.
It was done as follows:
Those interested sent a Draft with the raw design of the track and it was up to me to do it in the Epic Edit in the best way possible, some members also sent the completed track from the Epic Edit itself.
I worked on this Project with the Epic Edit and Tile Molester programs, where I managed to make some changes that will be explained below.

*Characters*
*************
Characters were taken from other hacks, I did a poll on The World of Hack ROMs Group and put some options. Characters were chosen from one of the versions of the hack, but I wanted to have characters from the Super Mario series so I made a version with these characters. So it went like this.
VERSION 1.0 (Chosen via poll in the THOHR Group)
-Ken (Hyper Street Kart)
Famous character from the Street Fighter saga.
- Ryu (Hyper Street Kart)
Another famous character from the Street Fighter saga. OBS: I couldn't change the palettes of the clothes, he got the green belt.
Pikachu (Super Smash Kart)
- Famous character from Pokemon Saga.
- Ronald McDonald (Super NikoNiko Kart)
McDonald's Fastfoods Franchise poster boy
- Plankton (Super SpongeBob Kart)
SpongeBob Cartoon Villain.
- Donkey Kong (Super Smash Kart)
Protagonist of the Donkey Kong Country series, unlike the original game that has D.K Jr. here we put the DK of Donkey Kong Country.
- Bomberman (SMK: Character Chaos)
Protagonist of the Bomberman Series.
- Megaman (IrregularHunters Kart)
This is the protagonist of the Megaman Franchise, a Capcom classic that made history on the NES, SNES and PS1.
VERSION 1.1 (Picked by me from the Super Mario Franchise with a Special Guest)
- Mario (We kept the character from the game)
Main Character of the Series.
- Luigi (We kept the character from the game)
Main Character of the Series alongside his brother Mario.
- ShyGuy (SMK: Bit Hoes Edition)
Enemy from Super Mario Bros. 2 of the American version.
- Red Yoshi (Super Uncle Kart 1)
Friend character you first encountered on Starpath in SMW.
- Bowser Jr. (Created for Epic Edit by R4MON, Sprites by Devicho)
Bowser Jr., or simply "Jr." as he was only initially referred to in his first appearance, he is the son of Bowser, King Koopa's heir to the throne, and is the secondary antagonist of the Mario series. bowser jr. first appeared in Super Mario Sunshine, and has since helped his father to kidnap Princess Peach and battle Mario and Luigi. bowser jr. Some say his mother is Peach...
- Wario (Wario from Thedarkbanshee and patched by Fco64)
Wario is Mario's friend and rival in video games. He is very similar to Mario, and they are considered cousins, a fact stated by Nintendo Power magazine. Like Mario and Luigi, Wario may be Waluigi's brother, a fact that has been confirmed and denied. Contrary to what many people think, Wario is not Mario's enemy or his archenemy, but rather a rival, as Mario's archenemy role was filled by Bowser, the main antagonist of the Mario series.
- Kamek (Created for Epic Edit by R4MON, Sprites by NICK having DS)
Also called Magikoopa, in the most recent games, Kamek is a wizard who lives in a castle according to the "Super Mario Brothers" series, his first appearance was in the Super Mario game Yoshi's Island where he tries to prevent Yoshi from entering the baby room Bowser in the hallway ahead of him. Currently, Kamek has become a villain in his own right (before only taking orders from Bowser) although he still plans plans with Bowser as shown in the game Mario Party.
- Diddy Kong (Created for Epic Edit by R4MON, Sprites by Clutch and fixed by Fco64)
Main character of the Donkey Kong Saga, he stars in the first and second game of the Donkey Kong Country series.
