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.
Problems
Blue Box
When using the D3D plugins, a faint blue box can be seen on the top-left corner on certain tracks. Use OpenGL to rectify this, however it may remain faintly visible.
You can also remove the blue box from the screen if you disable fog. In order to do so, click on "Graphics", then on the "Hacks" tab, and then mark "Disable Fog".

Cache Display Lists
Using 'Cache Display Lists' in newer revs of Dolphin may cause crashes.
Lens Flare Effect
If EFB copies is set to "Texture" the lens flare effect is not emulated. Setting EFB copies to "Ram" fixes the issue.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
Graphics
Config | Setting | Notes |
---|---|---|
Video Backend | OpenGL/Disable Fog | Avoids the blue box issue |
Anti-Aliasing | Off | On causes overbloom around objects |
Scaled EFB Copy | On |

Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
r6117 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7-930 @ 2.8GHz | nVidia GeForce GTX 480 | Good: 45 FPS lags in bursts, Menu Slowdown to 4 FPS With DX9 Plugin, Dual Core Enabled, 16x Anisotropic Filtering enabled, 1920x1080, x86 | Timmy112 |
r6249 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7-920 | nVidia GeForce GTX 460 | Good | |
r6452 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i5-430M | ATI Radeon HD 5730 | Good (50/55 frames with DVD | |
r7123 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 | ATI Radeon HD 5770 | Good (55/60 frames) | |
r7224 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.7 GHz | nVidia GeForce GT 560M | Good. When the game starts, it lags due to CPU's and camera rotation. Fixed inside lag with skip EFB access to CPU. Tested with 1.5 Native resolution 1600*900 Fullscreen, 4x anisotropic filtering (Qosmio X770) | giorgio200791 |
r7319 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3GHz | nVidia GeForce 450 GTS | 60 FPS, Perfect | |
r7332 | Windows 7 x86 | Intel Core i5-750 | AMD Radeon HD 6950 | 60 FPS, Perfect | |
r7436 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3.5Ghz | nVidia GeForce GTS 450 | Perfect: 60 FPS Menu Slowdown to 45 FPS With DX9 Plugin, Dual Core Enabled, 16x Anisotropic Filtering enabled, Scale 3x, 1920x1080, x64 | RDilus |
r7442 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Phenom II X4 910 @ 3GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6970 | (1 Player): 100% Speed, Perfect (2 Players): 100% Speed, lags when seeing CPUs | FHaze |
r7478 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.4GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6950 | 60 FPS. Works best with DirectX 9. Slight slowdown in menus but nothing major. Gameplay with Wiimote is flawless. | Robodt7 |
r7483 | Windows 7 x86 | Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 3GHz | nVidia GeForce 9500 GT | If it wasn't for the menus slowdowns, it would be completely perfect. Races go full-FPS. Works perfectly with Direct3D11. I'm giving it a 5-stars rating since the menu slowdown is a very minor issue. | Rafaello Fareday |
r7483 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Celeron E3300 @ 3.3GHz | nVidia GeForce GT 240 | Playable 40-60 FPS. Drops down to 40 when seeing many CPUs on the screen, but otherwise it runs at constant 60 fps. No graphical errors at all. | EliasYFGM |
r7564 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Phenom II X4 975 | ATI Radeon HD 4890 | Playable - menus can lag sometimes, overall performance is more than passable. | Someone7272 |
3.0 | Windows XP x86 | Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.4GHz | nVidia 320M | [NTSC] 40 FPS, 70%. Playable but sporadic lagging. | Tyro |
3.0 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7-930 @ 3.5GHz | ATI Radeon HD 5770 | Fully playable, 73fps without frame limitations DX9, Dual Core enabled, 16x Anisotropic filtering, 1920x1080 (render window size). | |
^r7504 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i3 @ 3.07GHz | nVidia GeForce 9500 GT | Perfect full speed (60 fps) | Matute |
^r7504 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7 @ 3.99GHz | nVidia GeForce GTX 460 | Perfect full speed (60 fps) | Anonymous |
^r7504 | Windows 7 | Intel Q6600 @ 3GHz | nVidia GeForce GTX 465 | Perfect full speed (60 fps) | Dancube |
3.0-201 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Phenom II X6 @ 3.7GHz | nVidia GeForce GTX 580 | Fully playable at 60 fps with negligible/uncommon lagging, menu lags to minimum 26 FPS with D3D11/40 FPS with OpenGL. Round start lags somewhat with OpenGL. Transparent blue rectangle at top left corner visible in full-screen and window with D3D11 and less so/not at all with OpenGL. Tested one-player mode at 1080 and 480 resolution with no noticeable difference in performance, D3D11 and OpenGL with minor differences in performance, 16x anisotropic, anti-aliasing off, scaled EFB copy on, EFB copies Texture, cache display lists off, dual core on. | cwKent |
3.0-228 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.42GHz | ATI Radeon HD 4600 | Comfortably playable at mostly 60fps despite default OR recommended settings. HOWEVER, Time Trial feature will not replay ghosts that are ported from a Wii Save. As a result, racing/learning World/Regional Record ghost lines/times is not possible. For debugging information, there is one course that seems to be fully functional which is SNES Mario Circuit 3, hope this helps? My Time Trial Ghost Save: http://www.wupload.com/file/2614456887/MKWiiTimeTrialSave.rar | mkwTT |
3.0-235 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7 2630QM | nVidia GeForce GTX 460M | Unplayable: 10-15 fps; 30% GameSpeed. I have tried close to every combination of settings with no luck.
EDIT: Searching for ways to improve my emulation speed, I found that overclocking my GPU did the job. I now get 40-60 fps at 70-100% GameSpeed in menus, and a constant 60 fps and 100% GameSpeed during a race. |

3.0-373 | Mac OS X 10.7.2 | Intel Core i7-2675QM @ 2.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6750M | Perfect, full speed 60fps. Slight crackling in screen transitions. | jedivulcan |
3.0-424 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07GHz | nVidia GeForce GTX 570 | Fully playable at 60 fps with OpenGL. Round start lag a bit(during camera rotation). SETTINGS: 4x Native Res, 16x AF, no AA, EFB to texture (cache: fast), scaled EFB copy, per pixel lighting, Force texture filtering, fast mimaps, OpenMP decoder, XFB: virtual | Skullbot |
3.0-458 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD Athlon II X3 450 @ 3.2GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6670 | Full speed in game. Menu slows down at 40 fps. | Faefdsedf |
3.0-547 | Windows XP x86 | Pentium Dual Core @ 2.7GHz | nVidia GeForce GT 9500 | Good emulation (40-50 FPS in x1 native resolution) | tavog96 |
3.0-578 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7-2630QM | AMD Radeon HD 6770M | 50% with suggested settings, 100% with EFB copies set to Texture. 2-Player gets about 60% with EFB Texture and 50% with EFB RAM. | |
3.0-586 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7-920 @ 2.66GHz | nVidia GeForce 560 Ti | With all suggested setting I was getting 35-45FPS avg, I then Overclocked my CPU from 2660MHz to 2760MHz (small amount I know) I'm now getting the full 60-70FPS. When overclocked to 3000MHz was getting 75-86FPS. So make sure your CPU is at a decent speed as a little extra MHz can make a large difference. N.B. Overclocking the GPU seemed to have no effect for me. | Anon |
3.0-684 | Windows 7 x64 | AMD FX-4100 @ 4.5GHz | nVidia GeForce GTS 250 | Tested with (DX9). Unfortunately this is not fantastic game with Constant Spielgeschwindkeit which videos are often slow in the game when many drivers are on the screen to go the 50 FPS lost, so usually then to 40 FPS. with 2-player mode, the emulation is usually to 30-40 FPS. I think the best option Emulationsgeschwindkeit "EFB Copies" on TEXTURE would provide, as well as providing the "internal resolution" at quite low.
