History

Its first appearance was during 0.8.1, and the track was released in 0.9. It is a jungle-themed track that replaces Amazonian Journey.

Gameplay

The gameplay is rather good (for many players the best), partially due to numerous zippers. However, some paths are very unbalanced : if the first ones are balanced, it is not the case after the second fork. We haven't precise estimation but taking the right path and the shortcut could save between 5 and 15 seconds. As for shortcuts there's an intented one at the left of the road, after the three nitros. There are also some tricks : it is possible to run on the ramp on the right path of the second fork, that allows a tighter turn so saves ~0.3 second each lap. There's also a TAS-only trick on the shortcut : by htting slightly the rock after the zipper it is possible to land further away. There's a last trick that allows one more boost at the end and an easier trajectory, by skidding on the penultimate ¿ zipper. All these tricks are featured in Fouks' Tool-Assisted-Speedrun : https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/b27440fc-7824-4a02-acb2-9efd4e354cb5

Graphics

The track has a great graphic realization, at the expense of several lags/low FPS, highly criticized by the community.
