Super Gosu Cars update for 24 March 2023

The game has been updated with a new content and gameplay update! Introducing Mutators: New wacky ways of spicing up your gaming experience in Custom Tournament! Patch notes can be found at the end of this post.

Mutators

Guess who's been at it again? That's right: the Professor! His experiments with time and space has resulted in a new host of quirky contraptions to forever change the everyday life of his fellow Super Gosu Cars racers, and he calls these reality twisting apparatuses... Mutators!

Note: Mutators are not available in the demo version of the game.

Mutator: Quick Nitro

While not a reality bender per-se, it sure does bend your conception of what is possible in a race when your nitro charger suddenly has a much lower cooldown than usual! Boost boost and awaaay!

Mutator: Low Gravity

Ever wondered what it might be like racing on the moon? Now you can experience something kinda like it for yourself right here in Super Gosu Cars with the Low Gravity mutator!

Mutator: Darkside

Not even the Professor himself is perfectly sure whether this mutator is a modifier on our own reality or an entirely separate reality in itself. Whoa!

Patch notes 2023-03-24

New content: Mutators

• Twist the fabric of time and space with Mutators! This new feature allows different ways of transforming the gameplay of your races in in Custom Tournament only.

• The first mutator (Quick Nitro) is unlocked after finishing first in the 1 Star Piston Cup Mirror Mode Grand Prix.

• When unlocked look for the Mutator icon in the bottom right corner of the screen in Custom Tournament -> Track Select and press the associated action (default is Gamepad Left Trigger/Shoulder/Bumper/etc and Keyboard Left Shift) to open the Mutator Menu.

• Different mutators have different unlock critera:

  • Quick Nitro: Beat Piston Cup in 1 Star Mirror Mode or 144 human racer finishes*.
  • Low Gravity: Beat Flywheel Cup in 1 Star Mirror Mode or 160 human racer finishes*.
  • Darkside: Beat Crankshaft Cup in 3 Star Mirror Mode or 256 human racer finishes*.
  • *1 human racer finish equals 1 human player finishing a race regardless of game mode and settings, so completing a local multiplayer race with e.g. 5 human players counts as 5 finishes which greatly reduces the number of played races needed to unlock stuff this way).

Mutators

• Quick Nitro: Greatly reduces the cooldown of the nitro ability for all vehicles.
• Low Gravity: Lowers the gravity for all vehicles in a race. Only affects vehicles and nothing else.
• Darkside: A visual filter only. Does not affect gameplay.

General gameplay

• Slightly tuned drifting stats for all vehicles.
• It is now possible to race up to 9 laps per track in Custom Tournament.

Vehicles

• Made City Bus a tad bit smaller.

Items

• Spiky Spinny's hit box is now a bit wider making it easier to hit with (and get hit by!).
• Spiky Spinny's hit box now grows wider when charged, up to a maximum of almost twice as wide! Roll and tear!
• Tesla Disruptor can no longer be acquired by a racer in 1st place.
• Tesla Disruptor's model changed to be slightly less tall.

Keep in mind that the game is still in development and bugs and other oddities may be present.
