Shrek: Smash n' Crash Racing is... pretty much just a Mario Kart game, except with more Shrek.

Test Levels

Testlevel17

A track in the shape of a small oval. It is possible to jump off the edge, though falling off teleports you back to the top. The only notable thing in this map is that there are untextured speed strips on each half of the map, which launch you forward when you run over one. It has no minimap data.

"ds_test" and "ds_test2"

While track data exists for these two maps, texture data seems to be missing. This means that although there is collision data, you can't see what you're running into.

It's worth noting that ds_test2 has item barrels present on the track, while ds_test does not.

dsdaytona

Unloadable. If forced to load, crashes the game. The name may indicate it likely has something to do with Daytona USA.

Unused Music

The main theme music from Mario Kart 64, listed as MARIOKART.SSEQ in the directory. This song is one of the samples from the Nintendo DS' development kit.

Development Related Files

To do: There are many more development txt files, probably wouldn't hurt to make a subpage

Material Attributes

matattr.txt allows the editing of material attributes. Present at the top of the text are instructions for which each attribute means:

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Note:
//	* Friction affects sideways drift of vehicle plus acceleration & braking - default 1.0
//	* Restitution describes how "bouncy" a surface is - default 0.5
//	* Resistance slows down the vehicle when on this surface (eg. increase for deep mud to slow vehicle) - default 0.0
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BuildAudioAssets

Found in the audio directory, BuildAudioAssets.bat is a basic batch script that probably combined the split audio files into a .sdat file. This was probably left in on accident, considering MakeSound.bat is nowhere to be found ..

pushd ..\..\raw\audio
call MakeSound.bat
popd

LibContent Template

Located in the lcdata directory, lctemplate.txt is ... some sort of inhouse Torus engine template file.
