Right, post here your course analysis pictures.
I've taken a look at the first course and this is what i could put together.


As you can see, i have picked out a specific shroom location and put together a rough look at the first track. The shroom location was found after watching TWD's video on this course and realising that there are some pipes, common shrooming locations in this area i believe. It seems like a simple course. I think in this game taking the glider will be faster unlike MK7 because of a boost but i'm really not that sure. And yes, that anti gravity transform is on the wrong side.
