A couple things.

  • Courses are easier to open in a couple ways:

    • You'll get 6 Golden Hubcaps rather than 4 when completing a Course. (There are now 12 total in each Course, and also you're retroactively awarded the 6 for any Courses you've completed.)

    • Course entry requirements are mostly lowered,and they're generally set so that completing all the previous Courses will usually net you enough. There are some exceptions, especially later down the line.

    • Some Courses have been reordered.

  • Lots of physics-based fixes (rolling Spiked Logs, things on Paths [well, hopefully fixed], pipes [hopefully], camera, etc.)

  • Some tweaks to some Courses.

  • Some tweaks to some assets and models.

  • More Sapphire Lugs (for which I still need to find a purpose) and other secrets.

  • Fixes for a couple of annoying bugs (including, say, the camera not panning correctly when multiple Courses are unlocked in one go).

Next up is probably that new Course, though there are some other improvements that can be made, too.

Happy Tiring!
