Super Mario Kart: Super Mario Kart Alternate Tracks 2

My second complete replacement of all of the tracks in Super Mario Kart. The intent is to maintain the same feel as the original with a fresh set of races.

****Super Mario Kart Alternate Tracks:****

I've been a fan of Super Mario Kart since I first played it in the early/mid nineties. This is my second
complete replacement of the tracks in the game. I'd say this one is slightly harder than the first, but
I hope that it is just as well received.

Every track has been replaced by one I've created completely myself, including the Battle Mode courses.
I've tried to avoid putting in overly complicated or silly courses like some hacks of this game have, but
at the same time I've snuck in a couple of new ideas.

The AI works in all courses, and offers a challenge, but is far from unbeatable.

This release is versioned 0.9 as the Battle Tracks are not changed, but I'm not currently inspired to add them,
as I tend to like the racing much more than the battles.

****IPS Application****

This IPS patch is meant to be applied to an unaltered, unheadered Super Mario Kart NTSC-U rom. Applying
this patch to anything else will not be likely to work. Most commonly the file will be titled
"Super Mario Kart (U) [!].smc"

If you are not familiar, or having troubles with applying an IPS patch see romhacking.net for help/IPS
patchers.

****Utilities****

I used the following utilities to create this hack, all of which are available from romhacking.net.

MAKE - For all your custom track making needs. I used version 0.10 (the Japanese build as the English build
crashes each time I save).

MKItems - in order to edit the frequency of certain items appearing, for balance.

TileLayer Pro - Just to edit the opening screen, changing "Nintendo" to "Elricorico".

****Credits****

karterfreak for the inspiration, make sure you check out Super Mario Kart: Pro Edition if you haven't already.
tiohector and karterfreak for their youtube videos on using MAKE, I would never have gotten anywhere without them.
Puresabe and Dirtbag for their work on MAKE.
smkdan for MK Items.
SnowBro for Tile Layer Pro.
Everyone that reviewed Super Mario Kart Alternate Tracks on romhacking.net, I doubt I would have made a sequel
without the reviews.
