Super HitCombo Kart is a Project created in a Partnership between Luke Novaes from Canal Reviewing With Luke and Eurípedes from Canal: CDX RETROGAMES and CDX RETROGAMES 2.0.


The main idea was to hack completely into the Mario circuit terrain with some palette changes, both on the tracks and on the Backgrounds.

Through this Project, they wanted to bring together the members of the Channels, and honor some youtuber friends.

For this, CDX made the tracks in honor of the Partner Channels, as can be seen in the track designs.



***************
HOW IT WORKED:
***************

Tracks: First CDX Games created all the tracks, all on Mario Circuit terrain, something we agreed would be really cool, that part was totally up to him. After that, he sent me the hack to make the rest of the changes like, A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), Graphics, Characters and some texts.

Opening: this opening I created from a different palette than the original, which gave a very beautiful color, something like gold. Then I changed the name of Hack in the Banner, something that took a lot of work due to the amount of letters that had in the name "Hitcombo".

Characters: We decided to put the characters that the honorees liked the most, this part stayed with me, I put the characters according to the list below:
Mario: CDX
Luigi: Ronister
Peach: Iara
Fox: Foxx
Bowser: Jarmes
D.K: Elson
Link: Luis Miguel
Toad: Luke

On each character is the name of your Chosen.
We got some sprites from the hack: Super Smash Kart and with friend Retro Master HD.

Name of Cups and Clues: This part was one of the last things I decided, I shared it with CDX and he agreed.

Cups:
CDX Cup (Mushroom Cup)
RCL Cup (Flower Cup)
EQS Cup (Star Cup)
Hitcombo Cup (Special Cup)

Clues:
- CDX Circuit (Mario Circuit)
- Iara Plains (Donut Plains)
- Luke Valley (Ghost Valley)
- Elson Beach (Koopa Beach)
- Luis Island (Chocolate Island)
- Jarmes Lake (Vanilla Lake)
- Foxx Castle (Bowser Castle)
- Ronister Road (Rainbow Road)


Graphics: the biggest graphics changes were the characters on the podium that were made by Retro Master HD, the Battle Mode balloons have new colors modified by me and CDX made the Beautiful Background of the tracks changing some things.
In addition to the icons of the characters that were made by Retro Master HD with the exception of the original characters and Iara (Peach) edited by me.

Special thanks


- First of all I would like to thank CDX that gave me an opportunity to do this beautiful hack with it. Beginning of a partnership that will generate many good things.

- Discord Server: SMK Workshop - Guys on this server too much of every detail of the SMK game, I've been there for a long time and I'm amazed with so much information, so much new stuff that is discussed there every day. It just made my affection and curiosity for the game grow even more.

- Mario Designer - What about the guy who made my eyes sparkle by showing that I could also do a hack. That's the guy! First Brazilian to be shown how to do it, author of some great Hacks and some really cool fan games. It's worth checking out his work.


- And especially to Stifu who made all this possible, breaking down all the game code, creating the Epic Edit. Thank you so much bro.
