Mario Kart Wii

Mario Kart Wii is a racing game developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development and published by Nintendo for the Wii console. It is the sixth installment in the Mario Kart series (excluding the two arcade games) and the second Mario Kart title to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The game was released worldwide throughout April 2008, but one year later in South Korea. Every copy of the game is packaged with the Wii Wheel accessory, which is designed to house the Wii Remote to allow more intuitive and conventional steering.

Changes from its predecessor, Mario Kart DS, include motorbikes and support for up to twelve racers online. Like other games in the Mario Kart series, it involves various characters from several Mario games racing each other on tracks themed from locations in the Mario series.

Mario Kart Wii was first shown at E3 2007. It has been positively received by critics; while not revolutionary, the online capability and the large number of tracks, characters and karts has been praised. The game had a commercially successful launch in every region, and sold over a million copies in both Japan and the United States in less than a month.

Blue Box
A transparent blue box may appear in the top-left corner of the race screen. To prevent this, disable XFB before starting Mario Kart Wii.

Mii's Faces
Mii faces may disappear if graphics settings are adjusted during gameplay, a savestate is loaded or if entering/exiting exclusive fullscreen (not borderless fullscreen) during a race. If the faces disappear, they will return in the next race. To prevent this, disable EFB Copies to Texture Only. See.

Missing Map
If changing graphics settings during a race, the map in the bottom right corner may disappear. The faces of the racers will still show up.

Ghosts Desyncing
Ghosts become desynced on almost all tracks, usually after a jump. They'll RAM into walls, go the wrong way, or just drive endlessly off cliffs. There is no known solution at this time. The tracks "SNES Mario Circuit 3" and "Mario Circuit" are unaffected, because the track is flat. See. Fixed with.

Missing Lens Flare Effect
If EFB Copies to Texture Only is set lens flare effects are not emulated. Disabling EFB Copies to Texture Only makes the lens flare appear as it should.

Lens Flare Crashes
If D3D is used, and disable EFB Copies to Texture Only so that the lens flare appears, crashes may occur on some tracks. EFB Copies to Texture Only, while breaking the lens flare, will not crash on those tracks. OpenGL is immune to the crashes regardless of settings. See. Fixed by.

Cache Display Lists
Using 'Cache Display Lists' in newer revs of Dolphin may cause crashes. Fixed by the removing of cache display lists in.

Psychedelic Textures
Using the OpenGL backend may result in psychedelic textures, which always appear with SSAA and "Emulate Format Changes" enabled. Fixed by.

Ugly black flash with AMD card and DX11 backend
With DX11 backend on AMD Radeon HD 7500M/7600M Series and what ever you want in other settings, the game display epileptic black flash during the circuit. Video of the bug

Aspect Ratio
This code allows wider screen aspect ratios beyond 16:9, specifically 21:9. Be sure to change the aspect ratio to "Stretch to Window" if you've adjusted the code to a wider view for the game.
