Ravenbridge Mansion

Ravenbridge Mansion is an official SuperTuxKart track.

This track has been created by Jean-Manuel Clémençon to replace Blackhill Mansion. The first version was released during the 0.9.3 version.

This track can looks like a mix of Cocoa Temple (because similar gameplay : the zippers are placed similarly and the alternate path is curved like in Cocoa Temple) and Blackhill Mansion (because same graphic theme).

There's an intented shortcut at the left of the bridge where you can get a zipper boost and a big nitro. For the alternate paths after the first turns, they are very unbalanced : the left path is much faster.

There's no unintented shortcut discovered because the respawn works well and the checklines have been placed correctly.

The track is pretty good to run in online multiplayer especially because of the fun beginning (due to item placement). Then there are several gifts that can make the race very "animated". Also the shortcut can modify the race if a or several player(s) falls on it (happens often with parachutes).

As for speedruns the WR is 1:39.323 and the best possible time humanly should be a 1:39.1. The WR in 0.9.3 is 1:49.840.

Here are some feedbacks from the community : Shortcut doesn’t save enough time, alternate path is useless (unbalanced), too much nitro.
