Special Features

Below are listed special features that are included in this distribution:

Channel Features

Channel Features
Feature	Author	Information
Automatic Updates	Chadderz	The CTGP-R Channel can automatically update the pack as track updates become available.
Cheat Blocking	Chadderz	The CTGP-R Channel has been designed to be more secure than a Riivolution distribution and to disallow cheat codes on Wi-Fi.
Cup/Course Organiser	MrBean35000vr	The CTGP-R Channel features a cup/course organizer allowing users to choose their cup layout in-game.
Automatic BRSAR Patching	Chadderz	The CTGP-R Channel can automatically make alterations to the revo_kart.brsar file to update the lengths of the game's music files. This means it is no longer necessary to patch revo_kart.brsar when using custom music in the My Stuff folder.
Channel Music	Chadderz	Background music can be added to the CTGP-R Channel by dropping MP3 files in /ctgpr/ChannelMusic on the user's SD Card. The music files play randomly while the channel is active.
Time Trial leaderboards	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	Online leaderboards are available for all custom tracks and Nintendo tracks. Player created ghosts are automatically transmitted to these leaderboards. Each ghost has its own individual link, which is determined by the SHA1 hash of the ghost file itself.

Game Features

Game Features
Feature	Author	Information
Custom Menu System	Chadderz	This distribution is the first to make use of custom menus to load custom course slots. The cup selection menu is modified with two buttons featuring arrows to the left and right of the main cups. When selected, these buttons cause the current on-screen cup buttons to be replaced with other cups, including custom cups, creating a scrolling menu system. All custom tracks are stored inside custom cups.
Custom Tracks Worldwide	XeR	This distribution is capable of searching for random players to play custom tracks with. When running the pack, simply press the Regional / Continental button (which is renamed to "Custom Tracks Worldwide") to search for custom track players. You can also join your friends who are playing CTWW, and they can join you. Credits to XeR for finding the required values to do this.
Change Characters Between Wi-Fi Races	MrBean35000vr	When in online play, the player's character, vehicle, and drift mode choice may be changed between races by pressing + on the Wii Remote (or Start on the GCN Controller) when on the VR screen. This simply takes the player back to the character select menu and then returns them to the vote when they have reselected. If the time limit expires, the currently selected options are taken.
Random Track Selection	Chadderz	When in CTWW mode, picking random will allow the game to select a custom track based on a number provided by the game's RNG system. It can also be triggered by pressing + or Start (depending on your controller) and may be used offline to randomly select a track to play on.
16 Race Repeat Limit	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	In lobbies, if a track has been played, it will not get selected again until 16 races have passed, this is to encourage variety in track votes.
Wi-Fi Timer	Chadderz	The countdown timer on the Wi-Fi voting screen is always shown now, rather than just when you're about to run out of time. This can give you a better idea of how long you have to make a decision when voting. The time allocated is 30 seconds.
Wi-Fi Time Limit Expansion	Chadderz	This distribution modifies the race time limit on Wi-Fi. It has been expanded from 5 minutes to 5:40, allowing longer tracks to be entered and played through to completion. The game has another hard limit of 5:56 before it disconnects everyone, so it is impractical to increase the time beyond 5:40, as the time advances even when looking at leaderboards. If 5:40 is reached, the pack forces you past the leaderboards quickly to avoid disconnection.
Draggable Blue Shells	MrBean35000vr	Blue Shells can now be held behind you like Red Shells. They will explode on contact, but not hurt the player. They can be used to protect against other items being shot from behind, but if wheelie-bumped while holding a Blue Shell behind you it will fall away and disappear. Only one Blue Shell can exist at once, so even when it is held out behind you it will be impossible for anyone else to get one from an item box.
Speedometer	Chadderz	There is a speedometer in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. This only works in 60fps single-player modes.
Max Lap Count Modifier	Geeh and MrEvil	A track can have anywhere between 1 and 8 laps.
Speed Modifier!	MrBean35000vr	Tracks have a speed modifier applied (e.g. 2× speed) which causes all parts of the game's physics to move at the increased speed (including vehicles, items, and boosts).
Countdown Mode	MrBean35000vr	Countdown Mode has been added as a replacement for battles in single-player online play.
Custom Server Support	Wiimm and Leseratte	Support to play on a custom MKW server has been added as a replacement to Nintendo WFC.
Item Rain	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	Item Rain mode is available in offline play and online friend rooms. This is not compatible with the Item Rain GCT.
LAN Multiplayer	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	LAN Multiplayer is available as an alternative to custom server support for connecting multiple instances. This is compatible with the standalone LAN Multiplayer mod.
High Data Rate	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	High Data Rate is available for online friend rooms. This is compatible with the GCT as long as the room host is using CTGP-R.
In Game Room Stability Viewer	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	You can now see how stable a friend room is before starting, the more stable it is, the more likely there will be fewer disconnects.
Error Code 60000 Skip	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	If a user was going to get Error Code 60000, instead the game will automatically give a new Friend Code to a license that had one from a different WFC Server.
USB GCN Adapter Support	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	Allows GameCube controllers to be useable VIA the USB GameCube Controller Adapter.
Mii Heads on Minimap	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	When playing online, character minimap icons will be replaced by the player's Mii head.
Remove Game Music	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	Prevents all .brstm audio from playing.
Higher VR Tier in Worldwide	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	When a Worldwide has an average VR of 7500 or higher, there is a 5% for 100cc, 65% for 150cc and 30% for Mirror.
VR Search in CTWWs	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	When searching for a CTWW, the game will try to match you with players that have similar VR to your own, to try to allow everyone to have enjoyable races.
Smart Suspend	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	The game will prevent too many people from joining worldwide at once, which prevents mass disconnects.
Room Encryption and Security	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	There are options that will only accept other users on CTGP (with either CTs on or off) into your friend room and can also not let people enter who have my stuff enabled. This also scrambles the games packets to prevent people from sniffing packets with programs like mkw-ana.
Item Box Toggle Online	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	You can disable Item Boxes in friend rooms.
My Stuff Folder	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	Allows users to replace certain files with their own, allowing for custom textures, among other things.
Save game on SD Card	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	Allows users to save their game on their SD Card, rather than the Wii's NAND
Ignorance Is Bliss Anti-Cheat	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	Can defend against item hackers in online lobbies, with the milliseconds on the clock showing which user is hacking. It can also sometimes prevent your Wii from freezing due to hackers.
Crash Handler	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	If your Wii crashes, you will be returned to the CTGP channel with an error message.
200cc	MrBean35000vr	This mode is inspired by Mario Kart 8, which also includes brake drifting and fast falling mechanics. It can be enabled for offline modes and/or friend rooms.
Frameskip	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	This will prevent the game from running slowly when the Wii gets overloaded from complicated tracks and similar, by skipping render frames, thus introducing a noticeable stutter when ordinarily the game would lag, but critically not causing the game to slow down.
Enhanced Ghost Replay	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	When watching a ghost replay, all HUD elements that are normally hidden have been re-enabled.
