Introduction

Before we get started, just a note to make the RPG experience a bit smoother! You should install two of the plugins available on Openplanet. The first, Tweaker, allows you to change the graphical render distance. RPG maps can be big, so this turns a potential lagfest into a smooth as butter ride. The second, Checkpoint Counter, well, counts your checkpoints. You don’t want to accidentally take the wrong checkpoint and screw up the whole run, so seeing where you're at is super helpful.

For this top 5 selection list, all advanced and expert maps are not considered, only Beginner and Intermediate. There are some honorable mentions at the end if you want some awesome, but hard RPGs. Also note that, even if the Author Time is only a few minutes, the discovery run may take two hours plus on the longer maps. Let's jump right in!

5. De_Dust 2 by stupskiesel

Author Time: 00:59.674

A great cinematic by MCYC on the L4Bomb4_clips channel reminds you of the good old days when you played this map in Counter-Strike, but now, you are a car. Drive around this iconic map and relive the past, but now, through new eyes, once again, as a car.

Why De_Dust2 is Great

  • Bathe in some nostalgia, but from a different angle.
  • It’s short and sweet.
  • A great way to get started with RPGs.

4. Minigolf by Wallaby

Author Time: 04:03.147

A really smart concept! Play through 18 holes on this mini-golf course. With each hole you will have a short run-up before your car is hit with a no-steering effect and you’re thrown onto an ice surface with various obstacles. All you can do then is use brake and accelerate to change course, and hope that your initial trajectory was the right one!

Why Minigolf is Great

  • Minigolf is such a fun minigame idea.
  • Something a bit different to the rest of Trackmania.
  • Easy to play with friends, switch controller each miss!

3. Edenic (ft. Tekky) by SimplyNick

Author Time: 07:49.481

Watch Tekky fly through this RPG, designed by SimplyNick, a Trackmania streamer. The longest RPG on this list, it will keep you entertained for hours on your discovery run. Well calculated and fun to drive.

Why Edenic is Great

  • Well calculated.
  • It’s longer which means more fun time!
  • Great replayability.

2. The Last Tower by Qiraj

Author Time: 04:52.984

Watch Spammiej, Trackmania Pro and content creator, discover The Last Tower. Not the easiest RPG, but a very cool concept, bringing verticality into things. Jump between the towers as you climb them.

Why The Last Tower is Great

  • Climbing the towers is rewarding.
  • Very cool scenery.
  • A good way to test your skills.

1. Late to the Match by Yannex

Author Time: 03:13.566

Made by the prolific Yannex, a Swiss Trackmania streamer. You travel through a cityscape, on your way to a soccer match. You’re late to the match, so better hurry! Super fun to drive, once you’ve made your discovery run you’ll be itching to improve your time.

Why Late to the Match is Great

  • Cool cityscape scenery.
  • A very nice flow.
  • Great replayability.

Honorable Mentions

You can find all these maps on the first page of Trackmania Exchange with this link (filtered by RPG style and sorted by the number of awards).

  • Bennet Foddy ate my cps. Modeled on the painful Getting Over It game, this checkpointless trial map challenges you to climb several floors, where you risk losing hours of progress with one tiny mistake.
  • Rubik’s Cube. The winner of the 2021 Trackmania Awards Map of the Year category. You travel inside and between all the parts of a Rubix Cube, before finishing on top.
  • Isometric 2. The closest to a true RPG. You have a top-down view, you have cars that talk to you and you traverse through various terrains.
  • Kickflip. You love the Tony Hawk’s games? You love Trackmania? Ok, well this is the crossover you’ve been waiting for. Jump in quarterpipes, grind on rails and collect items (cps).
  • A Night in Tokyo. Added to this list because of its gorgeous neo-Tokyo design. It’s lovely to look at.
