This is the Monster Trucks version of Skyscraper. The Rocket Race version is coming soon. I came up with this map before I found out about any other Mario Kart remakes, so I thought it was pretty original at first. :P

Skyscraper is a recreation of the Mario Kart 64 Battle map. Remember that one? Way back when...
I know I spelled it wrong, but Bungie wouldn't let me spell it right because of the "rape part"

Story

I came up with this idea two weeks ago. I spent two weekends on it. The first thing I needed to make was the octagon shape. I had to make each side exactly 45 degrees to the previous one and I figured out that I could use that right triangle to make the sides. I needed to make it PERFECT otherwise the whole octagon would off quite a bit. I got it almost perfect, but i was able to make it look like it was perfectly made by putting a wall in between one of the sides.

Then I had to make the inside otagon, which was somewhat easy by using the exterior octagon to base it off of. The hardest part of this was the merging. The ramps on the inside may have been the hardest part to make because I wanted to make the ramp angles near perfect:

There are also angles on the outside, as I will show later. The reason i am telling you this is because I think there are some tips in here, and it shows you how much you can do with the objects in sandbox, even if you can't figure it out at first.

Vehicles

Warthog x4
Gauss Warthog x2
Chopper x2
Ghost x6
Prowler x4

Note: Choppers can own the warthog gauss if they want. Also, you will never start with a prowler. The only way you can get on one is by jumping up on foot and getting into the turret. Sometimes when you get off you are on the roof, sometimes not, in which case you will have to jump off another vehicle to get up there. So, the Prowler is a great weapon, but it's hard to get to.

Let's not lie, this is what you've been waiting for this whole time.

Overview of the map

Closer look at the Center

Look through one of the tunnels. As you can see, the double walls are somewhat bumpy, but you won't notice it while driving. Trust me.

A closer look at the ramps

Action Pics

The Chopper is the ultimate weapon. As in the original Monster Trucks, there is some luck as to which vehicle you start with. You never start with a mongoose, but you can go on them if for some reason you wish. However, the choppers are exactly opposite each other, so the usually end up killing each other first, leaving one left. Choppers are also more difficult steerers than Warthogs, so if you can get them to fall off, that's your best chance.

Warthog flipping a ghost

The Chopper and the Gauss Warthog battling it out with their blasts while the Warthog flew off the ramp and went over the Gauss.

Fail...

The Ghosts blow each other up. That's me in the Ghost that blew the other up. :D
