What's new since v0.0.3

• No more karts pinned on walls. Wall contact used to take 18% of the speed every frame, so a kart grazing a wall at a shallow angle could stall and never steer away (Frappe Snowland's bridge edge, Bowser's Castle, Banshee Boardwalk). Now only the velocity into the wall is lost and the part along it is kept, with one small slowdown per hit, like the original.
• Frappe Snowland grid fix: the back row now starts on the bridge deck instead of the riverbank under it.
• Shared course textures are deduplicated into public/mk64/common/, so the game and downloads are smaller.
• The HD texture pack (mk64-hd) is tracked as a submodule; the web build skips submodule .git files.
• Website: SEO and social metadata, Raspberry Pi install steps, Boss-Man promo banner, battle screenshots.
• README rewrite: lo-res graphics and sound are decoded from your own ROM; game assets are not included in this repo and belong to Nintendo.
