Much like every other track in the game, the course file for Galaxy Colosseum / Galaxy Arena (Race/Course/ring_mission.szs) contains a parameters file (course.kmp). However it is actually unused!

This level only appeared in 3 online competition / tournaments. However, in each appearence, the parameters file that is loaded actually comes from the competition file (RKCT) that was sent by Nintendo, which gets stored in the save data, leaving the one from the course's own archive unused.

You can tell it is unused by how certain things are different between the parameters from the course file and the ones from the actual competitions / tournaments. For example, the starting position and item box placement is different.
