Title: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Wii Post by Rhodechill on 06/27/13 at 16:55:09 Since most of us have played this game for hours upon hours, surely we have noticed some small details that others might not know about. I'd certainly be interested in hearing about these kinds of things from other players, and maybe as a community we can compile a large list of some of the small quirks of this game. Even if you're unsure of how obvious something is, post it anyway. Can't hurt. I'll begin with just a few things, but I'm sure a lot more will come to mind later. -DS Desert Hills textured finish line is the farthest back from the actual finish line. -If you spam button inputs very rapidly during a time trial, you can make the "Unable to create a ghost" message pop up much earlier than 6 minutes into the trial due to an overflow of ghost information. -There's a 5th type of trick. Jammed tricks. It's when you perform a trick and get the boost, but the animation does not activate. Common when multiple tricks are performed rapidly, or when contact with the ground is made very shortly after tricking. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by .Hahaae on 06/27/13 at 18:18:02 Didn't you make a similar topic a while back? The Japanese ISO for this game has a built-in TAS feature that can only be used if your thumbprints match the requirements. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Cole on 06/27/13 at 18:20:20 The lowest valid MKWii FC is 0000-0000-0142. You can confirm this by trying to register all FCs from 0000-0000-0000 to 0000-0000-0142, but I used a much faster method to find this number. The lowest FC that someone actually has is probably 0001-3xxx-xxxx. Anything over 54xx-xxxx-xxxx is impossible. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by inviso87 on 06/27/13 at 18:28:28 -You can get stuck on a branch of the right tree at the end of Maple Treeway if you go high enough -I believe you can get stuck behind one of the hanging poster boards at the 2nd set of up escalators on Coconut Mall -There's no invisible walls over the sc house on Daisy Circuit and you can fall through the house (from the top of it) under the stage That's all I can think of right now. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by PigeonIYI on 06/27/13 at 18:49:13 If you perform the ubercut from the bridge near the start line to the shroomspot u-turn on N64 Bowser's Castle, drive back up the stairs and then circle Bowser's statue clockwise three times, you unlock Marty. ::) |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Brett on 06/28/13 at 04:15:16 I knew someone that had 0001-3734-4729 I think, it was definitely 0001-3xxx-xxxx tho. Still I kinda wish I knew the logic behind why this is the lowest practical FC but no one can have the lowest valid FC. Is there something in particular that the FC is based off of, or is it just randomly assigned? |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Blackyboi on 06/28/13 at 04:26:30 my main fc is a 5458 fc :P btw do you think they might have reservered the other fcs for the moment all others are given away? |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by .Hahaae on 06/28/13 at 16:25:47 You can do that on BCWii too. Wheelie right before you go off the final ramp and pull back all the way. Hop when you land and it does the same thing. Really weird. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by PigeonIYI on 06/28/13 at 17:22:16 I just remembered, there is that odd effect on mushroom gorge where you can use the zippers to make your bike/kart immune to offroad. I can't remember exactly how it was reproduced, but remember thinking "amg prb" when I got it ;D |
|
Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by .Hahaae on 06/28/13 at 17:35:43 Didn't it have something to do with going backwards? I remember that from 2008 lol. @ That last clip, on the rPB vid, would it be possible to go on the left and cross the line, then respawn behind the line and hit the last CP, getting 2 laps to work? |
|
Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by blahpy on 06/28/13 at 17:45:54 The MG PRB was very simple: It's activated whenever you go over one of the ramps before the mushroom sections, and deactivated whenever you hit a red mushroom. |
|
Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by .Hahaae on 06/28/13 at 18:09:31 So, say you used a shroom on the ramp before the cave and avoided the reds. Could you then race in the offroad part of the cave? |

Yes, but it's not worth doing. If I remember correctly, the effect also reduces your mini-turbo power to zero (the boosts charge and release normally but don't actually increase your speed), so even if it weren't inconvenient to activate, it still wouldn't be worthwhile. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Rhodechill on 08/19/13 at 21:23:49 In 5 years and 4 months, the entire MKWii community, with millions of hours of combined playtime as a whole, has only managed to shave off just over a minute and 14 seconds on the total time trial times. That's about a .038 second cut per day. It's sort of like we just eliminated the time it takes to complete GCN Peach Beach in this game. |

[smiley=dead.gif] [smiley=dead.gif] [smiley=dead.gif] Another fun fact (it may be common knowledge but I've never seen anyone talk about it) is that the music on Toad's Factory starts over when you leave the factory just before the shortcut. If I had to guess, I'd say they were probably planning on having different themes for the indoor and outdoor sections and forgot to remove one of the music checkpoints. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Mr.Nosey on 01/16/14 at 06:19:13 Interesting... to me though, that 'da-daa da-daaaaaa' jingle at the start of the music fitted in really well with flying out of the factory into the air, it just makes sense. So maybe was a happy accident that they left in? |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by TasPlasma on 01/17/14 at 09:55:53 I've noticed a general pattern with low tricking on slow ramps. That if you are drifting left into the trick, it is fastest to do a right trick, and vice versa. I think the explanation I was satisfied with why this is, is because when you are drifting left, the bike is getting tilted that way. A right trick +a left angle would be to force the nose of the bike downwards, so basically, the nose hits the ground much sooner, reducing airtime. One might argue that if you do a left trick instead, the back of the bike would also get shoved to the ground, and would equally reduce airtime. That might be true, but for some reason in my tests, the opposite direction trick was still generally faster, so there must be a reason. A great example is the MMM blue ramp, the way the TAS does it. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by XolifreX on 01/20/14 at 02:47:41 On wifi there is a glitch that whenever you face someone who's using a Mii character, there's a veeerrrryyyyy smal chance that you won't hear the Mii's voice or any sounds that he would make when doing tricks and stuff. The only sound you'll hear from the Mii is Rosalina's "Yeah" cry when the Mii is preforming a trick. What I find weird is that I haven't encounterd that glitch since late 2009... :? :? |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Rhodechill on 01/29/14 at 02:17:41 Okay, so I'm sure this is very, very. very obvious to you all.

I'm going to guess that this thing happens because of the game constantly wanting the character to be placed upright, with the tires firm on the ground. If you wheelie off of a slanted road and pull up, you end up pulling back far enough to where you hit an area on your character's hitbox that is designed to automatically place you back in an upright position. If you hop the exact frame you touch the ground, you end up hopping right when the game is trying to put your character back in its proper form, making you bounce backwards. The different animation shapes created when a character tricks off of a ramp can also have really strange effects on the game (side tricking while moving in the opposite direction of the trick's movement will give you a much lower trick, and down tricks cause your character to get really low tricks when done up against a wall because of the animation going against the collision.) tl;dr mkwii is fucking broken |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Samuel on 10/22/15 at 06:46:30 I don't know if this has happened to anyone else or not (probably has) but one time on rDKM, I got a TC before the cannon and when I went through it seemed to delete the TC as normal, but when I landed on the ground I got the TC glitch! I didn't know that this existed at the time and I was pretty in awe. It deleted at the next lap cannon though. |

I'm not interested in playing now and haven't had a Wii with me for 5 months. Instead of TTing, I'll add some things to this thread, from early 2008, that newer players might not know about: First Chance to Play MKW In the UK they had a tournament before the game came out, with the winner getting a car: http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/mario-kart-vw-convertible-first-pic-275657 30 different stores had qualifying rounds then there were finals. Here's a thread with some impressions from UK karters, including PTanney who made the finals: http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1206804282/0 The Timer Glitch Myth When the game came out hacking wasn't widespread for the first few months, however there were still a few cheated ghost times. One method was to use Powersaves to edit the save file with an impossibly fast time then upload it to the charts. Since the cheated ghosts didn't move for long amounts of time, a rumour spread that these ghosts were caused by a "Timer Glitch" where you wait until 99'59"999 and then the timer rolls over back to 0 allowing you to finish with a very low time. The rumour was pretty widespread, here are some posts and false articles about it: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/942008-mario-kart-wii/42908845 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/942008-mario-kart-wii/42906208 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/942008-mario-kart-wii/42568279 https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080820112053AARDMnU http://nukoda.com/gaming/wii/snaking-is-replaced-with-the-ghost-glitch/ https://gamingreinvented.com/nintendoarticles/the-five-most-game-breaking-glitches-in-nintendo-history/ (https://gamingreinvented.com/nintendoarticles/the-five-most-game-breaking-glitches-in-nintendo-history/) http://n4g.com/news/134491/the-mario-kart-wii-ghost-glitch-in-action Hidden Stats MKW has hidden stats like offroad handling and turning speed: http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Mario_Kart_Wii This was actually discovered within days of the game coming out, in the Japanese community, since the stats appeared in [ch65378][ch38651][ch25731]DS&Wii Style[ch65379]Vol.6[ch21029][ch20874][ch20184][ch37682][ch65378][ch12510][ch12522][ch12458][ch12459][ch12540][ch12488]Wii [ch12470][ch65381][ch12497][ch12540][ch12501][ch12455][ch12463][ch12488]BOOK[ch65379][ch12424][ch12426][ch24341][ch29992] (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61aBoArgqgL._SX402_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg) (Source: http://mariokartwiki.com/mariokartwii/46.html). I found this post about them, which is probably when I originally heard about these stats: 2D09030801050C3F2612090504600 wrote:
I kind of got the sense that these stats were never widely known about. Looking at GameFAQs it seems like it took until 2012 for these stats to be included in any guides. Maybe the Japanese community were skeptical of these stats as well. But now that this game has been hacked so much, these stats have been verified. Personally I always leaned towards believing these stats, since Funky's offroad handling bonus is kind of noticeable on rSL. |

Me, Guy and Hunter found out that if you get the lap count between the finish line and the first checkpoint, the lap counter rounds to a frame. That's why you tie a lot of lap times on MC, rPB or CM. |

Taking the id of the last person to join and subtracting the amount of players is only going to get the amount of potential id numbers that no one has, because they were either skipped over, banned, or wanted to be removed.

To add some more information: The earliest-set staff ghost was on the 19th of February, while the latest was on the 29th of the same month. The Toad's Factory and DS Delfino Square expert staff times were set on a Taiwanese Wii, making them the only staff ghosts to be set on a Wii with its country marked as something different to that of Japan. SNES Ghost Valley 2, N64 Mario Raceway, and N64 Bowser Castle's expert staff ghosts have no region information, though they were overwhelmingly likely set in Japan; this might indicate they were set on different consoles, however.

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Zack_McNell on 03/29/17 at 09:08:07 EDIT: ^My bad, those two ghosts were set with a Taiwan country code. Makes me wonder why did Nin take so long to first release the Taiwan Wii to the public? (July 2008). The Taiwan Wii is the exact same thing as a Japan Wii except the country in the settings.txt of the NAND is set to Taiwan's country code instead of Japan (which is why you need a Japan ISO to reach Taiwan without a Region ID changer code) |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Rhodechill on 07/26/17 at 02:26:37 I found a pretty cool general trend :O Of course it's not a perfect trend but the longer a glitch has existed, the shorter the WR time seems to be http://www.chadsoft.co.uk/time-trials/original-track-leaderboards.html#sort-by-fastest-time ie the newest glitches seems to have the longest 3laps in general http://www.chadsoft.co.uk/time-trials/original-track-leaderboards.html#sort-by-last-changed chadsoft shows the dates runs were set for categories so for example you can see maple treeway glitch hasnt been done in several days in a pr ctgp also says "CTGP Revolution also calculates the finish time of ghosts much more accurately than Mario Kart Wii, allowing rankings ties to be broken." ties can still happen ;D |

This really doesn't show anything special, in my opinion. The trend stops at the 3rd glitch, and it doesn't really hold constant at all (DKJP, the second newest glitch to have a WR time, is way up in the front as the 5th fastest category). Either way, since there are only 8 examples demonstrating it, it can be pretty well explained by just sheer coincidence, especially considering that it isn't a perfect trend. One could also argue that, since the most gamebreaking and simple glitches are the easiest to figure out, and in turn the fastest to complete a run with, it's no surprise they were found earlier on. As the obvious ultra shortcuts were all found within a few months of the game being out (GV and MG), the glitches that were subsequently found required more complicated maneuvers to pull off (think CM and MC), leading to them taking more time to finish a run with. |

I'd say it's a pretty weak trend, but still a trend nonetheless. You could probably see some sort of semi obvious pattern if thsi was graphed, but it wouldnt be pretty. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by Shock on 06/30/18 at 07:49:31 This is a spreadsheet made by Brett where he tracked the last 3 digits of WRs. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qMrPGSV4ebD4cGrEW7euy1VQokI79h4BOOrdRMR9ZFY/edit#gid=0) (You may need to quote this post and copy/paste the link directly if you want to view it.) 922 of the possible endings have been achieved at some point or another - I personally expect this number to continue to grow logarithmicly with time. The thing that I personally found most interesting about this data is that I think it shows a general aversion to scoring "4xx-"7xx range WR times: http://i.imgur.com/dk3JXeY.png On the x-axis is the leading digit (tenths place) and on the y-axis is the number of WRs not achieved with that leading digit. Unsurprisingly, people seem to really like "9xx and "8xx WRs. |

Title: Re: Things you may have not known about Mario Kart Post by PaulM78 on 04/09/19 at 17:10:21 I'm pretty damn sure that spear can't be competitive here at a high level sadly. Obviously Cole hasn't optimized his best splits with it, but me Liam and Sosis can consistently beat even his very best with it. Not to mention lucky cuts are supposedly more difficult to get with it, and that's only going to damage it in the long run when shit like 2/3 is going to be required. BB just gains too much on the regular cuts when it gets them right, and things like pyramid turn, turn before shroom and last turn just slaughter spear. |

And I was wondering why Penev talked about how the "Easiest way to capture a video is with a webcam or dvd-recorder" when I joined :D |

My guess is that Nintendo planned to have game devs and celebrities (at least in Japan) make ghosts for anyone to download but never got around to doing it. They did something similar in Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire https://serebii.net/omegarubyalphasapphire/specialbases.shtml[/quote] It seems like the special ghosts did exist after all (at least in Japan). On April 16, 2008, an LC ghost was distributed that was driven by Japanese actor/comedian Medaka Ikeno (https://blogimg.goo.ne.jp/user_image/28/65/a3772e64401f72d31a26720f660db24e.jpg). This is the only one that's surfaced so far. The ghost is unavailable unfortunately. Edit: I found another one, distributed in Korea of all places, driven by actor/singer Kim Bum. (http://img2.ruliweb.com/img/img_link7/248/247857_1.jpg) I find it funny that this ghost is faster than the Japanese one (http://img2.ruliweb.com/img/img_link7/248/247857_3.jpg) This ghost is available here (https://ninrankings.org/ghostdatabase/ghostviewer.php?id=66265) (though it's useless without the ability to change drift) |
