Katmoda 12

Katmoda 12 is a race location in Wipeout Fusion. Taking place in a lunar human settlement, this is one of the four unlockable locations in the game.

This track is unique in that each of the variations of this track features gravity flip pads (GFPs), which cause ships passing by them to barrel roll through the air. For this purpose, the sections with these features have two separate lanes, above and below.

Description[]

Based on the moon, Katmoda 12 is a spectacular achievement of F9000 racing, and Pascale Rouser of Auricom has always loved the circuit: "I was stunned the first time we went there. Imagine stepping out and seeing that small civilisation spread out before you - the famous domes, the floating city, the alien remains. And beyond it and around it, Katmoda 12 snakes across our heavenly neighbour." Unfortunately, due to the high costs of lunar travel, few spectators make the journey, and crowds are made up of government officials, businessmen on hospitality weekends and pop celebrities such as Raisin Face or Git Boyz Thr3e.

Variations[]

Short Course[]

The short course introduces the player to Katmoda 12's unique gimmick, the gravity flip pad. It is one of the hardest short courses in the game, including a number of tight turns in the latter section, concluding with a very tight hairpin.

Medium Course[]

Set partly within a man-made cavernous area, the medium course features a shortcut which bypasses a sequence of U-shaped corners, activated by passing over a trigger pad. There are a number of gravity flip pads on this track.

Long Course[]

The highlight of the long course is a breathtaking vertical drop which is combined with large sets of turbo pads to create very high speeds. There is a trackless section early on over the lunar surface. It also includes the same tight corner and hairpin section as the short course.

Trivia[]

This is one of the few tracks in the entire series that take place outside of Earth.
- This therefore makes the F3600 and F9000 the only Leagues whose venues included at least one extra-terrestrial track.
