'''''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.

{{Problems/Controller Map Overlap}}
=== Missing Map ===
If  graphics settings are changed during a race, the map in the bottom right corner and Mii faces may disappear. The faces of the racers will still show up. This won't happen with '''EFB to Texture only''' disabled.

{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== WiiConnect24 / RiiConnect24 ===
The WiiConnect24/RiiConnect24 features of this title cannot be used because Dolphin does not currently support them. Refer {{issue|10200}}.


=== Mii's Faces ===
=== Wii Pinboard Pictures ===
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 {{issue|2112}}.
To properly display images pinned to the Wii Pinboard, you must disable the hack '''Store XFB Copies to Texture Only''' before the image is created.
{{image|RMCP01-1.png|A faceless Mii|br}}


=== Missing Map ===
=== Lens Flare Effect ===
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.
For the lens flare effect to be emulated when looking towards the sun, '''Store EFB Copies to Texture Only''' must be disabled.


=== PAL 50 Flickering ===
=== PAL 50 Flickering ===
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
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.


=== Missing Lens Flare Effect ===
=== Disconnected Controllers Message ===
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.
When disconnecting a Controller that emulates a GameCube Controller, the game won't show a message about the disconnected Controller. On Console, a message is being displayed. Refer {{issue|11323}}.


=== Translucent Blue Rectangle ===
=== <s>Translucent Blue Rectangle</s> ===
If '''Disable Fog''' is disabled, a translucent blue rectangle will be present on the screen. If '''Disable Fog''' is enabled, the translucent blue rectangle will no longer appear.
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.

=== Vulkan Backend Issues ===
=== <s>Vulkan Backend Issues</s> ===
A variety of issues occur when using the Vulkan backend, which can be avoided by using an alternate one. Refer {{issue|9890}}.
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.

== Enhancements ==
=== 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.
=== 60FPS in Multiplayer ===
When playing with 3-4 players in split-screen multiplayer, the framerate is locked at 30FPS. These Gecko codes provided below will make split-screen multiplayer levels play at 60FPS.
==== NTSC-U ====
<pre>
$60FPS in Multiplayer [Nick Reynolds]
004250D4 00000001
0029FD69 00000000

==== PAL ====
<pre>
$60FPS in Multiplayer PAL version [Nick Reynolds]
00429454 00000001
002A40E9 00000000
</pre>
=== Same Racer FOV on Video Preference ===
When using 16:9 mode, the FOV pointer address is adjusted to a lower angle than the 4:3 mode when the race starts. The Gecko code maintains the FOV to have the same height on both screen modes.
==== NTSC-U ====
<pre>
$Maintain Racer FOV

=== HD Texture Pack ===

=== 4xIR Bloom Fix ===
Bloom effects render incorrectly with IR>1. This gecko code will scale bloom effects for up to IRx4.

=== Memory Size Override ===
You can increase the memory size available to the game in the Dolphin settings ("Memory Override" under "Advanced"), however increasing the MEM1 size to more than 32 MB can cause issues and crashes when connecting to [[Wiimmfi]]. Increasing the MEM2 size has no such ill effects, and can help loading game mods (custom textures, tracks, ...) that would normally be too large to work correctly.
