Really cool mod, but a couple of things irked me enough to reconsider my decision to revisit Riders through this instead of the original release. (Which was a dumb idea to begin with considering this is a mod aimed at improving multiplayer. I'm stupid ok leave me alone,)

First, everything is unlocked from the start. I understand why this was done: to ensure everyone online is playing under the exact same conditions, but still. It would be cool if you could create a secondary save in order to play single player mode with the new additions, or a separate version of the mod for offline play, but even a fresh file will have everything added in.

Second, the soundtrack. Look, I love UNIB's character select theme too, but it's really not what I expected to hear in the main menu when booting this mod up. I realize how ironic this is, considering I really like the song selection in Robotnik's Ring Racers, but idk; Ring Racers/SRB2Kart is an original idea, I think it's fine when it yoinks songs from other games. This is a mod for an existing game, so it was just kind of jarring to hear Bayonetta music in there, considering I wanted to replay Riders through this version. (Again, I'm stupid)

I'll probably pick this up again once my priority isn't to marathon these games back to back.
