Firstly, to all those whose first thought is "So much for being retired from forge", hear this. I had put more hours than you can imagine into this map before I had run into the problems that caused my forging leave. I had done so much that had turned out great, and I just couldn't let that go to waste. So you can either try to enjoy the map, or get pouty over me going back on previous statements. Your call.

I would like to give a huge thanks to Cheerful Dub, who re-introduced me to Rocket Race. I always had so much fun playing Rocket Race with his parties, and that is what inspired me to start this project.

A few things to know about the map. Firstly, it is very boost friendly. Almost all the checkpoints can be boosted to without taking the normal path. Secondly, the bottom middle checkpoint area acts as a kind of speed bump. If you hit it full speed, you can lose control. Also, beware of the crypt hole. And lastly, I created the checkpoints with callouts in mind, so use them to your advantage.

Special thanks to all that helped with the completion of this map. Whether it was motivation, brainstorming, or testing, I appreciate everything everyone did.

I hope you enjoy my map!
