Animal Crossing Kart Deluxe
A downloadable mod
A response to the mediocre Super Mario Kart ROM Hack, Animal Crossing Kart.
This Rom Hack of Super Mario Kart fixes issues that were not in the original Animal Crossing Kart such as:
-Modifications to compressed sprites
-Improved track design
-Certain Graphic issues fixed (Olaf's tail would disappear in the original and was in the wrong color).
This isn't just a modification, this hack also attempts to:
-Introduce 3 characters (Roald, Cookie and the return of Nosegay)!
-Add new Battle courses for 2 players!
-New Character portrait animations and victory animations
-Add Some new tracks
-Play the Animal cup (Special cup) in 50cc... once you beat the 3 other cups in 50cc.
-New CPU orderings for every character.
-Items including the Blue Shell which is miserable to get hit by and Pavé's golden feather which will break you into the dancing spirit.
This Patch works on the USA version of Super Mario Kart (Unheadered).

Been looking for hacks to put on my Anbernic handheld. Gonna give this one a shot, it looks very cute.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!
If you don't mind me asking, what tool did you use? I think it'd be fun to make a hack like this.
I used https://epicedit.stifu.fr/ to make the tracks, palettes and to extract game data, https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=27208 (YY CHR) to make some of the compressed sprites and https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/108/ (Tile Layer pro) for the racer sprites. For hacking and hex editing, I used https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=93458 to hack CPU orderings and https://epicedit.stifu.fr/smk_doc/
to edit compressed sprites (this is done easier with an unheadered ROM or a ROM that is 512 kb, or if you made some tracks, 768 kb).
Thanks a ton! I'll definitely look into this.
