v2.5 of Super Mario Galaxy Kart Wii is here! This update contains several tracks that have been updated to use skyboxes I ported from the Super Mario Galaxy games!!
These skyboxes use vertex colours and shaders to make them look the way they are so porting them took a bit of effort, but I'm happy with how they've turned out ^^
This update also contains some other minor changes, such as the tracks of some names and texture changes (full changelog down below). I hope you'll enjoy it c;
