Description
Neo Bowser City from Mario Kart 7/8 (Mainly based from the 7 version) Remastered with better art, fancy lighting, and more dynamic clown cars!

NOTES:

Neo Bowser City was one of the first good stages on the workshop, and one of my first projects. As such it carries a special place in my heart, which is kinda unfortunate considering the old one sucks lmao- I mean it's *alright* but I've learned so much since then, and the jump in quality is apparent even from it to Bonneton. But I've remastered it now, taking everything I've learned to hopefully put it back in it's place as one of the best stages on the workshop!

I've added the promised clown car interactions now scripting is out, and I've also used articles to get more layers. Pretty much all the foreground lights are articles, since the real FG1 and FG2 are used for the rain. Speaking of said rain, it's a little more transparent than the old version. A common complaint I got is that it was distracting, so that's been adressed. I also tweaked the top and bottom blast zones- Anyway I hope you enjoy the changes!

Legacy version for people who like stinky graphics: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1913020392

in Mariokart 7, this was one of my favorite tracks.

made a bunch of the article strips smaller, hopefully the loading issue is fixed

Lagging is an understatement, this stage brings my computer to its knees upon load. Granted, it's an old rig, but it shouldn't go down that hard on an indie pixel game.

Stage's beyond gorgeous though, I just wish i could actually play on it!

i think the reason the stage lags for some people is just that some of the strips are stupidly wide, idk how to fix that but i might be able to by swapping out the sprites mid animation so theyre split in parts

this stage seems to crash a lot on some characters

This is one of the most pleasing stages to look at and play on, thank you for this

The rework is fantastic! I love the new art and the reactive clown cars, really helps to add to the mood of the stage.
