History
Gran Paradisio Island was released in 0.9.1. It replaces The Island.
Gameplay
This track has a nice gameplay, due to numerous turns, the zipper, the canon, and the "secret" path (the bridge). However the track is pretty easy to drive, except maybe the turns of the last part a bit tight for beginners. The track has an intented shortcut (that is actually an alternative path) : After the sand part, you can turn to your right to take the bridge, it saves around 3 seconds (zipper effect included). There's also a shortcut in this shortcut. It allows to skip almost the whole bridge. The recommended strategy to do it is : use a zipper and then two yellow skids aimed at the end of the bridge. It is featured in this Tool-Assisted-Speedrun (Fouks) : https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/85ebba9a-858a-478b-8fd9-5b7db7e7e9fe
Graphics
The track is graphically not as good as black forest or cocoa temple, but they are however very good. A few players have lags on this track.
