The idea of ​​changing the position of the power-up button to "R2" was great!!!Hunk6662024-06-09Version 0.1

I recommend this hack, mainly for this improvement. I just don't understand why not reassign the "circle" button for the "map/speedometer"...

It's a must have, the default control scheme is wackAlan Vikam2023-10-16Version 0.1

A very, very needed patch for a racing game ahead of it's time (that has aged pretty well)

An Alternate Scheme For A Better ExperienceSwiftlyTony3602023-10-16Version 0.1

I have to say, this control scheme feels better than the default settings for a couple of reasons:

A) – The control scheme has a strong resemblance to that of Crash Nitro Kart with slight differences but great nonetheless.

B) – It has always felt strange to me that brake and backward driving have separate buttons.

C) – While it will take some getting used to the different control scheme, I believe it will give you a better driving experience. It also reduces the stress that comes with an unusual driving coordination that takes time to adjust to.

If there is one thing I would change or would like to have happened is this: Perhaps add an optional patch to have the exact control scheme like in Crash Nitro Kart. I think that would be just as fun to have as well.

Overall, for anyone who wants a more similar driving experience to that of Crash Nitro Kart Mixed in with Team Racing, this scheme is the one for you!
