Trying out to see if there's a interest in a Mario Kart Wii thread on /vm/ since the game is still very active online with various distributions. Maybe we can set up a game night at one point?

>How do i play MKWII in [current year]
Console or Dolphin, both platforms can play together, ISO can be acquired on the internet archive, check the pastebin

>What's the best way to play online
There are various track distributions run by different communities
Vanilla experience: Wiimmfi, but requires a 2 week waiting period for signing up
CTGP: Mostly cater to e-sports tryhards, requires a actual console, no Dolphin allowed. Not very active outside tourneys
Retro Rewind: By far the most active, currently peaks at around 100-200 players daily. Features all tracks, plus playlists for custom tracks.
Deluxe: Custom tracks, custom balancing so no funky kong flame runner meta. Has different versions with different characters/karts/bikes etc. Less active than RR but still playable at nights and weekends.
