Courses will be determined by player by which building they choose on campus. Each building will be associated with a major and all of the tracks will be based on some form by that major. 

Majors and Classification

"Choose you major"

Players will be able to choose a major which determines the kart's special attributes like weapons and other  items. Classification will reflect the customization you are able to access for your kart and driver.

Majors so far:

Fine Art, Computer Science, RadioTelevisionFilm

Majors in the future:

Engineering, Architecture, Natural Science, Education, and many more ....

Kart

The base kart will be the same for everyone to begin with making it balanced at the start of the game.

As you play more and more and do a certain track or certain amount of tracks, your classification will change. You will start off as a freshmen with nothing special and level up to the next classification.

Freshman   =>   Sophmore   =>   Junior   =>   Senior   =>   Alumni

As you level up to higher classification more and more customization will be available for you kart. 

You will be able to customize both aesthetics of the kart and performance.

Aesthetics - decals, color choice, addition to the kart etc...

Performance - racing tires(drifiting), exhaust, engine, etc...

Weapons

Each major will have weapons that will have specific weapons that are associated with it.
All of weapons will be balanced in the radius it can attack the other karts.
So far there will be a forward and a backwards weapon.

RTF - Camera Attack

The RTF will have a camera that will be able to capture other drivers and force them to either rewind or fast forward.

CS - Code Confusion

Computer Science will have a laptop that shoots out binary to the targeted driver and will invert or randomly mess up their controls which would make them lose control of the kart.
Back Weapon - the behind weapon will be drop asterisks that will pop tires and make them wipe-out.

Art - Color Overload

Art will project a spray can that will blind and slow down the other drivers.

Back Weapon - the behind weapon will have a squirt out oil paint on the ground behind them which will act as a oil slick and make them slip around.

Other Items

On the tracks there will be symbols for speed boost and shield protection that will be activated for a couple seconds. They will activated when a driver runs over the symbols on the ground and unavailable for a other drivers for a little time before they can be used again.

Symbols on the Ground
