Overview

CT-CODE (or CT-Code; an abbreviation of Custom Track Code) is an extension of Mario Kart Wii. CT-CODE was developed by MrBean35000vr and Chadderz for their CTGP Revolution. The name CT-CODE was created by Wiimm, when he implemented CT-CODE support in his SZS Tools.

The main purpose is to allow more than 32 racing tracks in one distribution. Because of network protocol limits (1 byte for track selection), the total number of slots is 256. Subtracting a few special slots and 32 original VS tracks, there is space for 221 custom tracks. Because of the Cup layout with 2 cups in each column and 4 tracks in each cup, a multiple of 8 custom tracks is a good choice. So most Custom Track Distributions with CT-Code support have 216 custom tracks besides the 32 original tracks (248 racing tracks total).
