Joe's

Joe's is one of the tracks that come bundled with original copies of Stunts. Its name refers to Smokin' Joe Stallin, the third racing AI opponent. Like is the case of other original tracks, no feature in particular can be truly associated with the AI racer in question.

Track description

When raced OWOOT or otherwise, not deviating significantly from the main path, Joe's is the shortest of the original tracks and, together with Default, one of the two that offers a driving time appropriate for the average tournament. It includes two paths of similar length, of 81 and 85 tiles respectively and is speed-friendly. It has been built on terrain 5, which is, among the default Stunts terrains, the most feature-rich.

One of the paths contains a two-level jump, which is something most commonly seen in community tracks, proving that the original creators of the game were aware that this was allowed by the engine and probably also that it can be set up in the other direction, which makes it impossible to complete a track without going off-road. This suggests the original tracks were all designed when the engine was already finished and no more work was done on it, at least in its core. Otherwise, this would've been programmed to be detected at track-check time.

Varieties

Joe's is the only original track of which two apparently official versions are known.
