Wii U Virtual Console SMK Questions
06/19/15 at 06:19:15

Hi,

Months ago I downloaded SMK on my PAL Wii U.

I need to double check if it's US version or not, (My SMK download to my Wii U.)

1.Is the Wii U Virtual Console version of Super Mario Kart allowed to be played to earn Time Trial PRs on this site? I am thinking it's allowed, just want to be sure.

2.If so, and when I check to make sure I have the US version on Virtual Console even though my Wii U is PAL version would my new PRs to be earned in the future count as PAL or NTSC PRs?

Thanks for your help

The rules state that you must use a "real Super Nintendo" if you are not using the VC version on the original Wii. But lately I've seen third-party consoles for sale that can play NES and SNES cartridges. I think Sami should possibly modify the rule to specify that, barring the Wii VC, the game must be played on a real SNES cartridge. I don't think there would be anything wrong with playing the SNES cartridge on a third-party console that is not an SNES, because it wouldn't give you any kind of advantage over using the official SNES, for all that I'm aware.

I wonder if anybody actually plays SMK on the SNES cartridge with one of these third-party consoles.

It was unbeknownst to you, but playing on a third-party console is REALLY wrong!

For example with this system http://hyperkin.com/Retron5/ because there is a save states feature that allows you to change the properties in the real cartridge, yes it means using save states with your real cartridges.

Sami I just checked the update on http://www.mariokart64.com/smk/join.php and I don't know why playing SMK on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console is allowed because there are alot of Wii homebrew emulators. The fact is on the Nintendo Wii you can play with a ROM image of SMK running both on the Virtual Console or on the Snes9x GX emulator, how do you guess if the ROM was illegally downloaded or not and played on VC or Snes9x GX? The Virtual Console is an emulator too, and a ROM image is not a real SNES cartridge.

I think the one and only way to play on the Super Mario Kart Time Trial World Records and Players' Site is with the real stuff from Nintendo (cartridges and video game consoles).

At the time when the original Wii SMK was released it was discussed as being fine. We don't remember any "homebrew emulators(?)" within being used, unless if now such things have been created that is news to me as I haven't touched the old Wii in a while even (everyone moved on to Wii U gaming I guess). A snes console and proper snes pads will always have the best handling for this game imo anyway, so anyone wanting to play for competition purposes, or things like CDM need to get the original console.

It hadn't crossed my mind to look up anything on google without the first 3 keyword being "super mario kart" instead of Wii U VC stuff in general.

Nope, pausing before 00'01"49 is impossible on a NTSC game. 00'00"83 is the limit on PAL.

The feeling of being a world champion is intoxicating, and I didn't want to ever not be the world champion again. Then I realized it didn't matter that much since I had nothing more to prove and achieved my most important goal(s).
