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.
As of version 1.03.0040, Countdown Mode has been added as a replacement for the non-functional battles in online play.
As of version 1.03.0050, Custom Server Support has been added as a replacement for Nintendo WFC.

Version History
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. |
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. This feature is currently experimental, but seems to be working correctly. 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. |
| 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. |
| Ghost Blocking | mdmwii | The game will not save ghosts at all in order to try to prevent save data corruption and accidental overwriting of ghosts. Personal leaderboards are also not updated. This feature is only temporary as future releases will support ghost data saving in a much more secure way. |
| 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 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. |
