				Mario Kart 64 - Amped Up
					Made by Litronom



Instructions:

Use the patch file on a "Mario Kart 64 (U) [!]" ROM.
This game needs an Expansion Pak. Your emulator also needs to be set to support the memory extension.
This varies for each emulator, so please look it up online.


How to play custom courses:

1. Go into "Time Trial" mode
2. Start a random stock course and exit out via "Course Select" (Not required, but sometimes it won't load properly otherwise)
3. In the course selection menu, press the R button. The header image will now change to "Custom Set 1"
4. Choose the course you want to play from the first two cups


Grand Prix mode is not officially supported, but there is a workaround which lets you play a single custom course against the CPU.
After finishing that race, the trophy sequence will play and you are forced to reset the game.

How to play Grand Prix mode on custom courses:

1. Add this GameShark code for the debug menu: 8818ED EF0002
2. Start the custom course you want to race on via the Time Trial method as stated above
3. Exit out of the course via "Quit" (This is important, don't choose any other option here)
4. Back in the main menu, choose GP mode and enter the character select screen
3. Do not choose a character and instead back out until you are at the title screen again
4. On the title screen, press your GameShark key (varies for each emulator)
5. The debug menu will pop up. Leave every option as it is, except for the character, which you want to play as
6. Press A or Start and the Grand Prix race will now begin



Known issues:

-The first course "SMW Raceway R/T" has problems starting on real hardware.
-Some courses may suffer from frames dropping and graphical glitches in certain areas on real hardware.
-Under rare circumstances, courses may start with a black screen. In this case, just pause, exit out and start the course again.
