Countdown Worldwide is an in-progress hack by [[aplumafreak500]] that allows for normal play on Worldwide or Regional via [[Countdown Mode]]. The idea is for the game to load Countdown Mode via [[MrBean35000vr]]'s GCT/Race.szs patch, and alter region search options to load "cd" (for Worldwide) or "cd_%d" (for Regional or CTWW) but keep the game's logic to determine the region number rather than replace it with a default region. It is also meant as a solution for [[Custom Track Distribution]]s needing multiple regions for VS and Countdown by merging these regions into separate race types on [[Wiimmfi]].

Overview

Countdown Worldwide is a hack created by aplumafreak500. It allows for normal play on Worldwide or Regional races via Countdown Mode. The idea is for the game to load the game mode via MrBean35000vr's patches and alter region search options to load "cd" (for Worldwide) or "cd_%d" (for Regional or CTWW), but to keep the game's logic to determine the region number rather than replace it with a default region. It is also meant as a solution for custom track distributions needing multiple regions for VS and Countdown by merging these regions into separate race types on Wiimmfi.

As of 2016-10-15, this has been released on a proof-of-concept basis and is not meant to be used by non-testers. It could get players banned from Wiimmfi, as these regions have not yet been enabled.

Battle Mode

Battle Mode should be phased out by writing a null or unsupported query string to the room search logic. On Wiimmfi, it will result in a 15 minute ban.

Usage

If a distribution creator wants to support Countdown, he/she would replace the game's region search query from "vs" to "cd" and add this patch to their distribution (after patching the region number if necessary). For Worldwide races and friend rooms via distributions that use CT-CODE, only the first 32 tracks should be active.
