Do you need to wheelie to pull of chain drifts?

5 Upvotes

Chain drifting kinda confuses me. I've seen multiple videos saying you need to wheelie while drifting, but I use a gcn controller and the clawed grip method just doesn't work well at all. Then I read on a wiki that you don't need to wheelie. does it still count as a chain drift even if I don't wheelie in between mini turbos?

MKW on the r36s

• Upvotes

So I have recently heard of the Mario Kart Wiicompiled project which sounds really cool and how it was ported to the 3ds and the vita, but is there a way to play it on the r36s? Or is it possible for someone to make it?

Anyone else finding the new 175cc mode ridiculously easy?

• Upvotes

Not trying to brag, but I've been absolutely dominating the new 175cc mode in Retro Rewind.

I think my biggest advantage is that I've spent years practicing high-speed driving through narrow, winding residential neighborhoods, usually right around 3 PM when I would do my Doordashing gigs back in San Jose.

All those tight corners, unpredictable obstacles, and split-second reactions have really sharpened my driving skills. Honestly, 175cc feels almost leisurely compared to what I'm used to.

Mario Kart Wii for 3DS and PS Vita First Impressions and Minor Differences

Post image
175 Upvotes

After trying out both versions for a while, I’ve noticed a few interesting things "even though they’re technically the same." The PS Vita version has some stuttering during races, though the problem goes away the more you play. Unlike the 3DS version, the PS Vita version doesn’t have a timer—I think this is because the 3DS version had it at the bottom of the screen, and here they forgot to implement it on the Vita’s top screen. Also, the Vita version has shorter load times, but it still doesn’t consistently hit 30 fps. “Although they’ll add support for 60 fps in the future.” Otherwise, it’s faithful to the 3DS version, with the only advantage being that the Vita version doesn’t crash. P.S.: Sorry about the ugly photo xd—it turned out funny, so I decided to leave it that way.

Does anyone know why the game freeze whenever I play Wario’s Gold Mine course?

1 Upvotes

I been noticing this since I had modded my Wii. I had got it from my actual copy of the game. And for some odd reason it’s freeze whenever I play Wario Gold Mine course, even the music stop playing after the first lap. Is there a fix to this? Cuz this is really annoying and I just want to play the game in peace.

Can I play retro rewind off of an external hard drive? I don’t have an sd card

5 Upvotes

I have homebrew, the physical Mario kart disc, and everything installed, but when I open retro rewind it says it can’t find an sd card and restarts my Wii. Is there anything I can do to play it or do I need to get and sd card.


r/MarioKartWii • • 1d ago

If you guys watched early Mario Kart Wii custom track videos from the late 2000s to early 2010s, you’d recognize this song in the course introduction.

{Modding] Edit Blooper color?

1 Upvotes

I was wondering if its possible to change the blooper color? I changed the texture for it in RKRace.breft but it still is black / grayish. I'm wondering if theres like a gecko code or something to either let me use a hex code or a different color overlay (if thats how the texture works.)

thanks yall

RiftWii 2610-340 — new Wii mod loader, tested with Retro Rewind and MKW Deluxe X (more MKW testers wanted)

Thumbnail
gallery
79 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm the dev of RiftWii, a Wii mod loader I built from scratch (clean-room, no Riivolution code). It loads Riivolution-format mod packs as the game starts, so your game files are never modified.

For Mario Kart Wii: we've tested Retro Rewind and MKW Deluxe X so far, and I need testers for other MKW packs.

What you get: per-game settings, cheats auto-downloaded, modded saves kept separate on SD, online play via Wiimmfi, game covers, a HOME menu.

You need: a Wii (or Wii U in Wii mode) with the Homebrew Channel and a FAT32 SD card. d2x cIOS if your games are on USB or SD.

Download RiftWii 2610-340 on the releases page, the guide covers setup, and there's a Discord for help and test builds.

how good/What skills do I need to be able to play online?

2 Upvotes

ive recently bought a copy of mkwii and been doing my best to get okay at the game but every time I go online, I get absolutely wrecked, I heard I could be banned or something if I drop below a certain threshold, and I really like to avoid that because I keep trying to play online when I really shouldn't yet

i have the regular servers, + retro rewind and cptg installed on my wii btw

If anyones thinking of starting mkwii online in 2026 like I was

I recommend it honestly. I've lurked this sub for a while and watch the occasional troy/beanzard video, but never got online myself because I didn't want to rifle through storage to find my wii and discs. But with retro rewind and wheel wizard I was able to get online in just about 15 minutes, another thing I was concerned about was the fact that everyone would be too good and I wouldn't have fun because im in last every time. I didn't find that to be the case because with my off meta kart and 10+ years rusted skill I was able to keep up in lobbies and got 6000 vr within an hour (though I think the max vr is higher now so maybe it's not that good). I didn't have any problems finding full rooms either but I played during the weekend so that could change, if you miss mario kart wii lobbies you should definitely hop on

MKWII x [other game]

What game should I mix up with Mario kart wii?

Y'all probably have heard about Minecraft in GTA / Vise Versa.

I have been trying out my own mixed games and want to progress to MKWII now but I am not sure what to mix it up with?

Do you have any fun ideas?

Thanks for the help ❤️
