Drop of a Hat is a hidden mixed parkour map with dropper elements by Mercata and rmanimal that rewards 7 FFA Points when completed. Use "/join mario" to join the parent map it is located in, Another Castle.

General

Gameplay

The map begins with a section where the player needs to fly through all 30 red coins using an elytra before hitting the tower top in one run. Afterwards, the player must complete a dropper to beat the map.

Collecting three Yoshi Eggs in this map is part of the requirement for unlocking The Egg of Glory.

Aesthetics

The map is based on several different levels from Super Mario 64, most notably the Tower of the Wing Cap level. The elytra area is themed after that level, with the three rainbow rings and surrounding towers all coming from it.

The dropper section has several different stages based on courses from Super Mario 64. The starting area is Bob-omb Battlefield, and the dropper goes through Cool, Cool Mountain, Shifting Sand Land, Lethal Lava Land, and Hazy Maze Cave.
