CTGP Revolution is an expansion to and the direct successor of CTGP 2.8 and CTGP 4.4. It is a Custom Track Distribution created by MrBean35000vr and Chadderz. It is released as a custom homebrew application. The CTGP Revolution pack continues the CTGP 4.4 trend of using custom course slots to load custom tracks, and is the first distribution to use a modified menu system to load tracks. It is also the first distribution featuring a custom channel. The distribution supports the PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J versions of Mario Kart Wii.
The predecessor is CTGP Revolution v1.02. The source code for v1.03 is kept secret to prevent hackers, but the source code for v1.02 is available at https://github.com/Chadderz121/wii-ct-code.

Special Features
Below are listed special features that are included in this distribution:
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 organiser allowing users to choose their own 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. |
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 makes a modification to 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 together. 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 less 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 Worldwides | 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 joining a 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 to enter who have mystuff 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. |
MyStuff 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. |
