Mario Kart Wii - Custom Tracks

[scarper]

I recently found a homebrew app for the Wii called Riivolution, which is essentially an on the spot game patcher. A community of hackers have been using it to create a slew of custom tracks for Mario Kart Wii, and some of the results are actually quite impressive. Here's a few good examples of what they're capable of doing.

GCN Rainbow Road

GBA Sky Garden

Whomp's Fortress


The package I used was obtained here:

It even has its own online play option, pitting you against other people using the hack, allowing custom tracks to be selected. I was able to quickly find and play against 5 other people. I think there's over 100 tracks in this package. Some of them are hit or miss, but trying them all out for hell of it is part of the fun. You supposedly dont need the Homebrew Channel, but I imagine having that makes things a lot easier.

I'll have to check this out.

Has anyone been able to patch Mario Kart Wii to use the classic or gamecube controller? I don't mind using the Wiimote for stuff but I found the controls for Mario Kart Wii to not be that good.

You can use the Gamecube controller by default anyway.

Classic Controller as well. I've been using the "Pro" black one for just everything that uses it.

Installed this last night, I've been having tonnes of fun with it. Currently going through every single course sequentially and writing down a brief review of them so that I can remember which are worth playing and which aren't.

And which are laughably bad.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing this. It's been ages since I've played MK Wii.

I'll be using the CCP too. Never did warm up to motion controls in this one.

It's the wheel all the way for me. I'm not even a big fan of motion technology in general, when I play games I want to sit on ass and move as little as possible, but holy shit do I love the Wii wheel. I wish more games used it.

...do any other games even use it? O_o

You can use it for Excite Truck/Excitebots
