V1.2 19/04/2022 Updated Retro HD's colour palette and edited Peach as well and made her look more better. Edited the title screen also to make it look a lot more better and tidier. Edited a few tracks and made a few slight changes the same way just like in Super Mario Kart Ft. Retro HD & CDX.
V1.3 10/05/2022 Fixed up a few tracks and polished up Retro a bit as well and made him look more better as a few of his sprites looked out of place.
V1.4 23/05/2022 Edited Retro HD some more to make him look more neater and more tidier, also had to fix a lot of miss placed track tiles on a lot of the tracks as well.

V1.7 28/06/2022 Changed the colour of the background on the podium screen and on the character select screen as well to match the background of the track. Also just like in Super Mario Kart Ft. Retro HD And CDX edited Retro HD's sprite animation so he won't have Donkey Kong Jr's pose when you go to select him on the character select screen, his podium animation was also edited as was his jump animation at the end of the credits as well so he now has Harold's jump animation from Super Parigo Kart 1 and 2.
V1.8 15/07/2022 Just like in Super Mario Kart Ft. Retro HD And CDX Edited Phosphor's colour palettes and made her look a bit more better, touched up a few tracks, changed up 3 battle courses to make them look like the original battle course and the original tracks in game as well and also replaced both Witch and Splash Woman with Lady Liberty on the podium screen as well.
V1.9 11/08/2022 Edited the grey sand on the podium screen just like in SMK Ft. Retro HD And CDX as a certain part that was missed still had the original colour as the original SMK game.
V10 1/11/2022 Changed the colour of the title screen and the results screen as well, also had to re-do Retro HD just in Super Retro Kart for the exact same reason because his other sprite felt pretty ugly. Even edited Reimu slightly as well.
V11 22/01/2023 Just like in Super Mario Kart Ft. Retro HD & CDX this Hack also got a major edit as well. The title screen got a few edits such as the year and font change even on the presentation logo also, polished Retro HD's map sprite so it looked less ugly and more decent, also polished up Black Bomber Man, Fox and Reimu and their podium sprites as well to make them look much more decent, edited the track elements and the index numbers so it doesn't interfere with the position indicator and the AI's and what place they come in as well after a race.
V11.2 23/03/2023 Just like in Super Mario Kart Ft. Retro HD And CDX the first screen of the credits was edited so that it say A Hack Made By Retro Master HD.
V12 26/04/2023 Removed the black bar from the top of the background screen just like in Super Mario Kart Ft. Retro HD And CDX (Special thanks to Darthmarino for the helpful tip). Made a big edit to Retro's kart to make it look more decent and better.
V12.3 23/07/2023 Edited Phosphor a bit and polished up a few tracks along with some other things as well.
