>I liked the map editor in the old version a lot more.
What's the difference tho? I watched a couple letsplays and stuff on youtube and it looks like the editor still works the same, except that it's also possible besides that to take blocks off the grid if you wish + import your own blocks. Shouldn't be that different building classic tracks. Or are controls in map editor wonky?
I like how it looks. All the different tracks look fun. I always loved playing the snow maps on TMU, getting perfect lines on ice was really satisfactory.
The game otherwise looks like it's a bit of a hybrid between Stadium and Island environment primarily, there's plenty of fast maps as there were on Island as well as classic track. And that fat track with a bump going down the middle is fun, you can cut corners if you're brave by jumping over the edge.
Also it seems that it's possible to make custom environment maps as well? Some custom maps didn't seem to have stadium in background at all.
