Well, hope you're all excited to see this, seeing as it's been a common request on my Discord server since release. I also hope you like all the new graphics - none are quite finished, but feel free to give feedback regarding legibility on smaller devices and such.

For clarification, the Buzz Bomber lazers IS an item, it is the replacement/upgrade to the shrink item from SRB2Kart/Chaotix.
How it works is, when gotten in a lower place and used, it will spawn the Buzz Bombers, they will shoot Blue Growing Lazers for the user, allowing them to chain together multiple grows, whilst everyone else with have to deal with orange shrinking lazers. It's a semi rare item, with a cooldown of a full minute in a recent update.
It took me awhile to figure out so I thought I should share.

[@possumorb3770]

They're Poh-Bees, not Buzzbombers, but yeah.

[@racinracerxp8645]

quick note about the AI: they only get more aggressive if you get an A rank on a track, any other rank and stay at the same level. Also losing a continue sends them down a level of aggression.

[@GoodWitchKirby]

Great video. But I must point out that Green Hills Zone is an entirely separate zone from Green Hill Zone.

[@noww446]

1 minute into the video and I have one problem so far why is the audio so low I have to turn my volume on to the max just to slightly hear what you're saying is anyone else having this issue?

[@kaxcommentssomethingREAL]

yes me too, he should raise the volume of his voice recording, but besides that everything was fine

[@adebolaowo9505]

Note : If you put Intense and you get lot of ring in races you will go to sealed star with are the special stags

[@woshee_real]

Can't wait til you try intense mode which has something once you complete the last race with good standing and little continues.

[@xycord2770]

Green Hills is the starting zone in the Sega Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog.

[@Terumimi]

Nope, that's green hill. Green HILLS is the 4th zone of sonic 2 8-bit. Yes, there's a difference, and yes, it's stupid

[@centdemeern1]

That controller issue of yours should be fixed after 2.2.

[@squarethinkingdude]

you SHOULD play it and win with an a rank without continues in intense mode, after tat something will happen, remember A rank and at most 2 continues in intense mode, also try maxing your rings at the end of every race, it gives you a continue

[@Terumimi]

You CAN get what you're talking about with more than 2 continues, it just makes it harder because more than 2 continues takes away from your ranking points

[@itsjustbusiness1989]

Didn't mention the fact that there's a lives system...in a kart racer...and how easy it is to get lives as if they don't matter, as if the mechanics aren't overwhelming you enough

[@The_JackalMan]

I didn't mention the lives yet because they barely played a part in this episode. If they become more of a nuisance later on, I'll mention them there.

[@Terumimi]

I don't know if I'd say it's EASY to get lives. You get 1 for every 20 rings you get during the cup, and 1 for a perfect bonus stage run. If you're overusing your rings or are bad at the bonus stages, you're probably gonna struggle keeping a stockpile of lives
