GBA Rainbow Road - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Custom Track

For my second Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Custom Track I decided to reimagine a retro GBA track Mario Kart 8-style.
gamebanana.com...
I specifically chose GBA Rainbow Road because I think it's unlikely that this track will make it into any future DLC for the game which would otherwise make all the hard work I put into this track somewhat pointless in the long run.
Obviously I messed with the track's layout a bit, there is no way the track's original layout would work for a 3-lap Mario Kart 8 track, though I made sure to still include the original track's split path towards the end, albeit in a different way. The original track is mainly known for the way it has ramps on half the track's edges, something which I think clearly wouldn't have felt right in a modern reimagining of the track, so instead I made an effort to still include several shortcuts in different ways. Since the original track has clouds in the background, I thought it was appropriate to bring some of those clouds into the track itself, allowing for two off-road shortcuts. I also included a ramp at one edge which allows you to skip a turn just like in the original track, this can even be pulled off shroomless in any CC with a well-timed mini-turbo. Apart from that I tried to distinguish the track from all the other Mario Kart 8 rainbow roads by having it be above an ocean with floating islands all around, this also makes the clouds more fitting as opposed to if the track was just flying in space.
