'''''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 ==
 
=== Lens Flare Effect ===
If EFB copies is set to "Texture" the lens flare effect is not emulated. Setting EFB copies to "Ram" makes the lens flare appear as it should.
*If D3D is used, and set to EFB Copies to Ram so that the lens flare appears, crashes may occur on some tracks. EFB to Texture, while breaking the lens flare, will not crash on those tracks. OpenGL is immune to the crashes regardless of settings. See {{issue|6923}}.
 
=== Cache Display Lists ===
Using 'Cache Display Lists' in newer revs of Dolphin may cause crashes.
 
=== Mii's Faces ===
Mii faces may disappear if graphics settings are adjusted during gameplay, or if entering/exiting fullscreen during a race. To prevent this issue, avoid doing these things during play, or use EFB to Ram. If the faces disappear, they will return in the next race. See {{issue|2112}}.
{{image|RMCP01-1.png|A faceless Mii|br}}
 
=== 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.
 
=== <s>Psychedelic Textures</s> ===
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}}.
{{image|Mario Kart Wii Psychedelic Textures.jpg|Psychedelic textures|br}}
 
=== <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}}.

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.

I think the best option Emulationsgeschwindkeit "EFB Copies" on TEXTURE would provide, as well as providing the "internal resolution" at quite low. To criticize is that sometimes not all the graphics loaded, even "Choose Profile" at, and even "select vehicle" at. (sic, Google Translate)|tester=Serverbot777}}
