OldAtAtari Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I saw where someone several years ago (2012 maybe?) said it would be cool to have a map of the BMX track. I thought so too. So I made one. I think it's pretty accurate. It's a big image. Feel free to download it, edit it, share it, distribute it, or disregard it completely. I hope it's useful! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlynxalot Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) That's a cool picture! It's neat to see it laid out like this. I've had my best luck on this minigame by just playing it a lot and unconsciously having a feel for when certain obstacles will come up. I can't imagine trying to directly memorize it from these images, sounds too much like homework Edited March 25, 2021 by sirlynxalot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine trying to directly memorize it from these images, sounds too much like homework Thanks! Just the act of screenshotting it all and stitching it together to make this image taught me a lot about the track. I doubt I'll ever memorize it, but I know it better now than I did before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 This is great! I though I'd have a go at cleaning the map up and removing the cyclist and the scores, etc, but it's quite a significant amount of work to do that, so I gave up! Still, I chopped it up into pieces and put them up on a page here - https://atarigamer.com/pages/california-games-bmx-map Thanks for sharing it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny to see it broken up like that. Good idea, though. I like it! And yes, the editing you talked about would be a ton of work! Maybe one day someone will clean it up.

I didn't know there was anything in the surfing course other than a wave on the right and endless flat ocean on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder about the footbag, though. I wonder what happens if you forget about the bag and just walking left or right. I wonder if it ever stops you or gives you new scenery.

Turbo Laser Lynx Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thanks for putting it together. I always wanted to see it layed out like that. Looks really spectacular! ☺️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen my Gates of Zendocon universe map? https://atarigamer.com/articles/gates-of-zendocon-universe-map Very nice map! Much better than that text-based pseudographical one I still have from the 90s. Two things jumped out at me though. First, without looking at the old map, I thought the secret stage provided a "time loop". Maybe I'm wrong, because I never tried it. Second, I see you have a special place in the legend for each "dragon level", but you didn't include SNAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what happens if you forget about the bag and just walking left or right. I wonder if it ever stops you or gives you new scenery. The footbag map actually loops itself. If you just start walking to the left or right and leave the ball on the ground, after about 30-40 seconds you come across the ball on the ground again. No other changes to the scenery, only the grass under the player scrolls, the water and cityscape stays the same while moving left or right.

You're right about the time-loop, but it's across levels - from the bonus level you go back to NERB, then follow the levels to ZEBA, then TRYX and then the bonus level again. I'll update the map with SNAX to be shown as the dragon level, thanks for that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
