The layout is the same, but textures were redone, most walls were flattened, the pit holds more water, boulders appear at different rates, and the barrier is gone even in 50cc and Time Trials.
Racing tips
- Watch the boulder U-turn closely and be ready to swerve around falling rocks.
- The protective barrier on the boulder turn is gone in every mode, so take it carefully; falling off to the left drops you back onto the earlier bend.
