'''''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.
'''''Mario Kart Wii''''' includes 16 new courses and 16 classic courses from previous Mario Kart games. For the first time ever, players have the option of racing with either karts or motorbikes. Players can also hit the road as their personalized Mii caricatures in addition to the handful of classic Nintendo characters found in the game. True to the series, the game features tons of racing, plenty of power-ups and oodles of objects for players to use to slow down other drivers. This title can install the [[Mario Kart Channel]] on the Wii console.
 
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/Controller Map Overlap}}
=== Missing Map ===
If  Texture Cache Accuracy is changed during a race, the map in the bottom right corner may disappear. The faces of the racers will still show up.


== Problems ==
== Problems ==
=== Blue Box ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
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.
=== Wii Pinboard Pictures ===
{{image|Dolphin_Mario_Kart_Wii_OpenGL_Blue_Box.jpg|Blue box|br}}
To properly display images pinned to the Wii Pinboard, you must disable the hack '''Store XFB Copies to Texture Only'''.


=== Mii's Faces ===
=== PAL 50 Flickering ===
Mii faces may disappear if graphics settings are adjusted during gameplay, or if entering/exiting 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 {{issue|2112}}.
This game does some weird depth based effect when rendering at PAL50.  D3D11/12 do not handle this effect correctly.  To fix, use OpenGL or enable PAL60.
 
=== <s>Translucent Blue Rectangle</s> ===
If '''Disable Fog''' is disabled and '''Ignore Format Changes''' is enabled, a translucent blue rectangle will be present on the screen. If '''Ignore Format Changes''' is disabled, the translucent blue rectangle will no longer appear. '''Ignore Format Changes''' is now disabled by default.
{{image|RMCP01-2Fog.png|Game with '''Disable Fog''' disabled|br}{image|RMCP01-3NoFog.png|Game with '''Disable Fog''' enabled|br}} {{image|RMCP01-3NoFog.png|Game with '''Disable Fog''' enabled|br}}
 
=== Lens Flare Effect ===
For the lens flare effect to be emulated when looking towards the sun, '''Store EFB Copies to Texture Only''' must be disabled.
 
=== <s>Mii's Faces</s> ===
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 '''Store EFB Copies to Texture Only'''. See {{issue|2112}}. '''Store EFB Copies to Texture Only''' now disabled by default, and uneffected by opening the config.

=== Missing Map ===
=== <s>Vulkan Backend Issues</s> ===
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.
When using the Vulkan backend the Wii Remote warning may render incorrectly and a frosted box appears in the upper left corner of races. Refer {{issue|9890}}. This seemed to duplicate the Translucent Blue Rectangle problem corrected by disabling '''Ignore Format Changes'''.
 
=== <s>Channel Installation Functionality</s> ===
The Mario Kart Channel is not installed properly, even though the game indicates the install completed successfully. Partly fixed by {{revision|5.0-1837}}, which added initial title import support, but breaks the NAND when actually installing the channel. {{revision|5.0-2706}} fixes the issue.


=== {{s}}Ghosts Desyncing{{/s}} ===
}}}}
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 {{issue|3122}}. Fixed with {{revision|4.0-2729}}.


=== {{s}}Lens Flare Effect{{/s}}===
== Enhancements ==
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. 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 {{issue|6923}}. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-8258}}.
=== Anisotropic Filtering Problems ===
The red and green glow on the conveyor belts in the Toad's Factory track (maybe other effects too) breaks if anisotropic filtering is used.


=== {{s}}Cache Display Lists{{/s}} ===
=== HD Texture Pack ===
Using 'Cache Display Lists' in newer revs of Dolphin may cause crashes. Fixed by the removing of cache display lists in {{revision|4.0-758}}.

=== {{s}}Psychedelic Textures{{/s}} ===
=== 4xIR Bloom Fix ===
Using the OpenGL backend may result in psychedelic textures, which always appear with SSAA and "Emulate Format Changes" enabled. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-511}}.
Bloom effects render incorrectly with IR>1. This gecko code will scale bloom effects for up to IRx4.
{{image|Mario Kart Wii Psychedelic Textures.jpg|Psychedelic textures|br}}


== Enhancements ==
=== 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.
