Mario Kart Wii: Difference between revisions

|ratings={{ratings|esrb=E|pegi=3|cero=A|acb=G}}

There are 20 different kinds of bonuses, which increase a few statistics of the vehicles:<br />

*'''Off-Road Handling:''' Increases the Handling on each kind of off-road section.<br />

The vehicles have 31 stats. Acceleration is divided in four stages, presumably depending on the actual speed relative to the full speed. In each stage, acceleration is determined by two factors, a stage-specific '''S''' factor which is affected by the character bonus and a general '''E''' factor. These factors change while drifting, that itself can begin once the vehicle has reached 55% of its top speed. Finally, some stats change depending on the drifting method used (either '''Manual''' or '''Auto''') and depending on the fact that the vehicle is steering ('''While Steering''') or not ('''Standard''').<br />

*'''Tilt:''' How much the kart tilts in various conditions.<br />

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.

*''[[Super Mario Kart]]'': [[SNES Ghost Valley 2|Ghost Valley 2]] and [[SNES Mario Circuit 3|Mario Circuit 3]] return as retro courses, and [[SNES Battle Course 4|Battle Course 4]] returns as a playable battle course. Also, part of the music that plays during the Award Ceremony (if drivers win a [[Trophy]]) is the same as in the same scenario in ''Super Mario Kart'' and in ''Mario Kart 64''.

*''[[Mario Kart 64]]'': [[N64 Mario Raceway|Mario Raceway]], [[N64 Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]], [[N64 DK's Jungle Parkway|DK's Jungle Parkway]], and [[N64 Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Castle]] return as retro courses, and [[N64 Skyscraper|Skyscraper]] returns as a playable battle course. Also, the course [[Wii Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Meadows]] is based on [[N64 Moo Moo Farm|Moo Moo Farm]], and [[Block Plaza]] has parts of [[Block Fort]]. Also, part of the music that plays during the Award Ceremony (if drivers win a [[Trophy]]) is the same as in the same scenario in ''Mario Kart 64'' and in ''Super Mario Kart''.

*''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'': [[GBA Shy Guy Beach|Shy Guy Beach]] and [[GBA Bowser's Castle 3|Bowser Castle 3]] return as retro courses, and [[GBA Battle Course 3|Battle Course 3]] returns as a playable battle course. Also, the Yoshi Sphinx from the background of [[Yoshi Desert]] returns as a part of the race course Dry Dry Ruins.

*''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'': Various features in the game are derived from their ''New Super Mario Bros.''-look, such as the hills and outcrops of [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]] and the [[Flower (biological)|flowers]] and mushrooms of Moo Moo Meadows. The [[Mega Mushroom]] is an item in the game. The mushroom platforms in [[Wii Mushroom Gorge|Mushroom Gorge]] is based on the mushroom platforms in said game, with the red ones being "bouncy", and the green ones more like solid platforms. [[Wii Grumble Volcano|Grumble Volcano]] is similar to [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Also, Dry Bowser, who first appears in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', returns to ''Mario Kart Wii'' as his second appearance.

*''[[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.
