Volcan Island

• WIP*

Volcan Island or Volcano Island is an official SuperTuxKart track.

History

It was released on May 2016 in addons and added to the main game a month after. It doesn't really replace a track because there were a new place created in the overworld but we can see it as a replacement of classic Volcano.

Gameplay

Most of the stk players don't like it because they think the gameplay boring. As an argument, the turns are pretty similar and very wide. ~~However these players are noobs~~. There are two shortcuts and an experimental one. The first one, featured in this video, is not interesting anymore. The second one, saves between 2 and 6 seconds. It consists of bouncing on the rock after three big nitros. The easiest strategy is to do a yellow skid, then use nitro and zipper and bounce on rock, at this precise point.

I'll introduce the experimental shortcut later (yes this page is WIP). Lol.

Graphics

They are correct, people think it needs a texture overhaul and a few more things in background. FPS are ok and there aren't lags.
