Note that this does NOT include Addon tracks for SRB2K. There's a bunch I recognized from playing myself, but this video is long enough as is with just the base game tracks. This was recorded as of version 2.3. Any changes made in future versions isn't part of this video.

Damn I only noticed it thanks to the side by side, but the improved visuals really do go a MASSIVELY long way to improving track readability

It's crazy honestly. I didn't think they looked bad in Kart, and when I first saw most of these in ring racers I wondered why they changed at all But now I can't go back

Imagine Grand Metropolis as a racing circuit in ring racers, with all the new visual updates, mechanics and better artstyle 😍😍

You mean Grand Metropolis? Power Plant was the battle stage (which did return btw but Idc about battle tracks for this video) Grand Metropolis would've gone so hard tho!

@@R3d_Dr4g0n18 All good, I had to double check myself LOL

the glow up in rr for all of these are insane tbh though, speaking of returning kart tracks, I kind of wish spb cup (not including desert palace) were remakes of the community map versions of those stages from kart, but i get why they wouldn't do that i still do fairly like the rr variants, but they don't quite hit the same dopamine levels id get from playing their kart variants also wish they'd have a recycle cup 3 tbh, plenty of base game srb2k maps to pick out still i think honeybee industries and grand metropolis could be especially great maps to include in a hypothetical extra recycle cup, considering one was replaced in kart and the other is incredibly iconic not that i think *every* base kart map shouldve returned, some are best left behind, but i think they couldve recycled some more fun ones though, i thought it was a bit weird having the recycle cups be both tracks made for rr and returning tracks in one grandprix

Rest in peace honeybee industries Shall forever be remembered as one of the best tracks of all time I'm with you here, I wish they had a recycle cup 3 with some of the iconic maps from the time Though I didn't get to play the community made levels of SPB Cup (Wasn't even aware they existed, hence why I didn't wanna risk addon tracks LOL)

I'll be honest: seeing the improvements side-by-side really makes me hope we get some of the neglected tracks back, revamped in style. Like, say, Megablock Castle, or a new-and-improved Misty Maze(Aqueduct Crystal is nice, but...)

aqueduct crystal was such a letdown for me. I knew Dark Fortress had made the cut, so I was hyped to see that we'd have two megamix zones, but unfortunately misty maze didnt get turned into anything to write home about so RIP

I see you finally saw what I saw with that map. And almost forgot about a few others that have been included.

oh ok thanks for checking! i thought the mini maps looked quite similar with a new turn being added to the bottom right which personally convinced me but i guess the actual layout could of been changed much more to make them much less similar

I don't consider Abyss Garden as Ancient Tomb's remake or something because is so much different then even looks different and play so much different. Also Green hills in Ring Racers is based on Green hills from Sonic 2 from Game Gear,not the Genesis.

I was on the edge for Abyss Garden personally, but I got a few comments about it on the original video, so I included it here just in case Green hills was similar enough for me to include even in the original video though

That's also true of SRB2K Green Hills isn't it? That's why they have the same name and the same song

@@CyberpunkPizza Green Hills, Aurora Atoll, Hot Shelter and Abyss Garden were all on very shaky grounds, to the point where the latter 2 weren't even in the original video. Redoing it gave me a chance to look at them again. And while I'm still split on Abyss Garden, I was gonna get comments about it regardless. So I saved it for last so it doesn't get in the way (plus it worked out to make a cooler ending lol)

The Hill Top in Vanilla SRB2K is a completely different track from the Hill Top in Ring Racers, which is based off an addon track of SRB2K, and I didn't feature those because I don't have a full list of them so it'd be very easy to miss some, and would also make this already long video even longer lol
