Mario Kart Wii: Difference between revisions

These are courses that appeared in previous ''Mario Kart'' installments, much like in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. This includes two courses each from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and four each from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''Mario Kart DS''. These have been graphically updated and have some new details such as extra trees and ramps, new features such as jumps, pipe tricks, and even added shortcuts. These courses appear in the Shell, Banana, Leaf, and Lightning Cups. This game is tied with ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' (when counting the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]) for having the second most retro [[Mario Circuit]] courses of any ''Mario Kart'' game, with three, behind only ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', which has six.

===Blue Fake Item Boxes in a Solo Race===

[[File:MKW Blue Fake Item Box Glitch.png|thumb|A glitch involving the appearance of blue Fake Item Boxes in a solo race in ''Mario Kart Wii''.]]

If the player selects a team race or battle mode first and chooses the blue team, then exits and plays solo Vs. mode, the Fake Item Boxes will be blue instead of red.

===Thirteen players online===

Rarely, when a player finishes a race and leaves the results screen, the top left corner will say, "The next match might have 13 players", although it should say 12. It is also possible, although unlikely, to say more than 13 players (i.e. "The next match might have 14 players"). The reason is, that during matchmaking the Wiis are counted, but not the players. A Wii with 2 players uses 2 racing slots of 12 total, but is counted only as one. The next match will never have more than 12 players, though.

===Grumble Volcano rock lap glitch===

If the player manages to get on top of the large rock to the left of the starting line in [[Wii Grumble Volcano|Grumble Volcano]], each time they drive around it, the game will act as if the player completed a lap, and it will count a lap for the player.

*''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' / ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'': Tricks, Bikes, twelve-player races, and the ability to look behind return. [[Wii Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Meadows]], [[Wii Grumble Volcano|Grumble Volcano]], and [[Wii Wario's Gold Mine|Wario's Gold Mine]] return as retro courses (Wario's Gold Mine was added via DLC, but is available from the start in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''). [[Wii Coconut Mall|Coconut Mall]], [[Wii Mushroom Gorge|Mushroom Gorge]], [[Wii Maple Treeway|Maple Treeway]], [[Wii DK Summit|DK Summit]], [[Wii Moonview Highway|Moonview Highway]], [[Wii Koopa Cape|Koopa Cape]], [[Wii Daisy Circuit|Daisy Circuit]], and [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] return as part of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. The [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 8)|Bowser's Castle]] in this game sees the return of a similar giant moving Bowser statue that players drive around. Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina wear their bike suits again when riding a bike or ATV. Some voice clips are reused. The [[Launch Star]] boosters from Rainbow Road also return in the remastered {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}} in this game.
