Wangan 199X - [STD/CTB | 16:9 | HD/SD]

Throughout the 1980s-90s, street racers in Japan would gather during the dead of the night to race down the “Wangan-sen” Bayshore Route. In a time before digital home video, the only recordings of these late-night exploits are on fuzzy VHS tapes.

Wangan 199X is inspired by this time period, set sometime in 1990s Japan. Tear up the expressway, drift around winding corners, or just chill out to the late-night vibes. The night is yours to conquer.

The idea for this skin was initially inspired by the Night Runners demo, which does a beautiful job using period-correct technology and media aesthetics to really sell its late-90s street racing vibe. I loved this concept and wanted to try something similar, so this is my attempt to capture a similar vibe in an osu skin format. Bit of a niche theme this time around, but I really like how it’s turned out!


A 16:9 resolution setting is required to use this skin. For best results, use 100% background dim, enable "Always Show Key Overlay," and use the pie progress display.

This skin features a lot of animated elements, so the filesize is a bit hefty. I’ve included a “lite” version with animations removed for convenience, although I highly recommend the full version if you can run it!

Nice skin, hitsounds are pretty fun.

Most of the UI gets pushed out of screen for me though: https://i.imgur.com/aCYZxuv.jpeg

I'm using the 1.1 LITE version. Using standard 1080p (16:9) res, osu-lazer 2025.101.0. Any clue as to what's going on or how to fix?

Your issue lies here. Lazer does not support legacy skins as truthfully as it should. All you can do is to go into the skin layout editor and try to make it match stable

Like Redo said, Lazer doesn't properly support legacy skins in all cases yet, particularly for skins like this that use overlays on the playfield since that's technically not intended.

But it looks like the particular issue in your screenshot is because the "UI Scaling" setting isn't set to 1.00x. For some reason this setting impacts the ENTIRE ui, including gameplay skin elements, so many legacy skins that expect specific placements of objects break (this one included). The alternative option is doing what Redo said and manually repositioning things yourself, but that's a bit of a pain and I'd only recommend that if you really want to avoid 1.00x scaling.

Hopefully we get ways to better control object scale/positioning in the future, because right now it's really annoying that you're basically forced onto one scaling setting for certain skins. There's unfortunately nothing us skinners can do to fix that right now...

Oo, I see. It does work fine when UI Scaling is set to 1.

Sadface, I like the higher UI scaling in main menu.

I managed to get something workable going: https://i.imgur.com/WWg9oW9.jpeg
The right side overlay thingy went wayy out of screen. But that's okay by me, I am mostly just interested in the gameplay anyways.

Very fun skin. Thanks for making it!
