The antithesis of room-corridor-room syndrome.
Steam Workshop description

Banana Bay is a community-made rotationally symmetrical Payload Race map set in a tropical environment. The payload is rotated around the map until it reaches its destination, in which it doesn't result in a victory until it's run over by the train, akin to Cactus Canyon.

Banana Bay was made an official map during the Jungle Inferno Update.
