Rough editorial estimates from the project notes, typically ±10–15 points. They describe a usable edition, not code coverage or a release date. A dash means no defensible estimate. Recorded checks were reviewed, not rerun for this website.

About this estimate
Shown as complete following the owner’s assessment on 28 October 2026. The earlier 95% was a conservative editorial estimate reserving room for human/Linux acceptance and fidelity checks (timing, ordering-table, night/particles, rumble and recording transitions); those checks were not rerun or independently resolved here.
PLUS ~90% ESTIMATED
Nearly complete · track fixes pending
The Plus build adds split-screen two-player championships, increased draw distance and improved fog, while retaining the original appearance and gameplay.
In place
- Split/alternate two-player championship and paired super specials.
- Up to 600 m view distance, improved fog and cast mesh shadows.
- Trigger controls, automatic second pad and championship rule fixes.
Still to do
- Fix track meshes so the extended draw distance does not expose floating distant objects.
- Real two-player split/alternate championship playthroughs.
- Intermediate super-special, save/load and record-flow acceptance.
- Human checks of fog, shadows, audio and controller behaviour.
About this estimate
Approximately 90%: the main Plus features are implemented. The owner identified track mesh corrections for the extended draw distance as remaining work on 28 October 2026, alongside final gameplay checks.
PLUSPLUS NOT YET ESTIMATED
