Lunatrick

Lunatrick (also known as Luna/Hard/Extremal) is an underground style that only the best of the best can play. Focusing mostly on extreme tricks, tightest jumps and most precise precision sections, Lunatrick is the hardest map style in the game.

One of the biggest factors that make Lunatrick a low-key style is how hard it is to build a Lunatrick map. Only a small group of people are able to build proper Lunatrick maps due to the extreme level of creativity and craziness needed. Rumors say that many of these maps were allegedly built under the influence of strong mind altering drugs such as:


 * Amphetamine

History
The genre gained its popularity back in 2010 with the start of the ZORSCY Lunatic server. With its brand new finish counting plugin it attracted many skilled players that wanted to compete in the server's own new competition - Most Finished Maps contest. The goal was simple - finish as many maps on the server as possible. Participants needed to drive fast, and also use all of the known bugs to their advantage. The competition lasted 1 month and had a total of 3000€ in prizes for the top 5 players.

Some of the players were able to finish 1 map out of 400 available, some others finished 5 maps, and the person who finished the most was Brain.uXXoR with the astonishing amount of 27 maps finished. In the post-event interview he revealed that to achieve this amount of finishes he often used his Computability theory knowledge as well as his own private program that allowed him to influence and see inputs of previously driven runs in slow motion (offline mode only).

To this day 347 out of 400 maps are finished, with the rest still waiting to be finished. Since 2010, many servers managed to copy ZORSCY's plugin that shows the amount of finished maps next to player's name in the chat. This successfully attracts people to play these maps till this day, although very few of them have any chance of succeeding in finishing the remaining maps.
