You can even play combinations of these game modes, with more to come in the future! We hope this custom track distribution continues to grow. What are you waiting for! Install this distribution (using the installation tutorial below, which nobody seems to use and that makes them not install the distribution correctly), organize some online races in the Discord server (which you can find somewhere at the top part of the page), and have fun!'' |

WARNING!
Watch out for items in your My Stuff folder (if it's enabled), as this distribution does feature modified UI and Common.szs. If you find those types of files in your My Stuff folder, remove the files, disable My Stuff entirely, or copy files from the My Stuff folder that are not the types of files specified into the distribution's My Stuff folder, and enable that folder in Riivolution. If you have basic modding experience, you can patch your Common.szs to work for Cuberluigi CT Pack. Follow this tutorial to do so.

Overview
Cuberluigi CT Pack is a custom track distribution created by CuberHax and Ιυιgι. It has the most custom tracks ever used in a distribution so far. Nintendo tracks were available since Beta 6. There are many track variants. It uses LE-CODE, vehicle stat modifications and it has the Countdown, Item Rain, Random Items, Bob-omb Blast, Mushroom Dash, and Double Framerate game modes, as well as combinations of those modes.
You can find a spreadsheet of the vehicle modifications here.
Some of the author's notes and a small FAQ (important to read)
A description of sorts made by the authors
Installation
Riivolution
When you install the distribution, first install the base and then the update. To install, extract the zip file to the root of your SD Card/USB. If you already have the base, you can install any update, even if the base was already updated. Be sure to let the extraction replace files when you install updates! You do not need to install any previous updates before updating the distribution. There is an installation tutorial video found in Media.
Dolphin or USB Loader
When you patch your ISO/WBFS for the distribution, you must install Wiimms ISO Tools and a program that can extract 7z files. Either WinRAR or 7-Zip work. To install, run patchiso.bat. It will give you the instructions, but it goes like this:
Put your Mario Kart Wii ISO or WBFS in the same folder/directory as patchiso.bat. When you run patchiso.bat, it will pause for you to do this. You can continue when your ISO/WBFS is in the same folder/directory as patchiso.bat. It will extract the files of your ISO/WBFS to the isofiles folder/directory. Now, extract main.7z, and the 7z file with the region your ISO/WBFS, into the isofiles folder/directory. Be sure to let the extraction replace files! Once this is done, you can continue in the program. The program will compose a new WBFS with Cuberluigi CT Pack. It will close itself when the process is done.
The disc id does not get changed as of now. You'll have to change the disc id yourself, which you can do with Wiimms ISO Tools.

Special Features
Below are listed special features that are included in this distribution:
| Feature | Author | Information |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic BRSAR Patching | Chadderz | An option that automatically patches the revo_kart.brsar for custom music. Disable if you already have the file in an enabled My Stuff folder. |
| Bob-omb Blast | CuberHax | A mode that changes the item probabilites to always give Bob-ombs. Mushrooms will be given instead if there are too many Bob-ombs in play. |
| Countdown Mode | MrBean35000vr, Chadderz | Countdown Mode has been added as a replacement for battles in single player online play. |
| Crazy Items | MrBean35000vr, Chadderz, CuberHax | A mode that combines Item Rain and Random Items. |
| Custom Menu System | Chadderz | This distribution makes 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 Server Support | Wiimm and Leseratte | Support to play on a custom MKW server has been added as a replacement to Nintendo WFC. |
| 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. |
| Double Framerate | MrBean35000vr | A mode that tricks the game into running at 120 FPS, or two times the normal speed. |
| Exception Handler | Star, Riidefi | This code will display exception information on the television screen when an exception occurs. After the console is finished scrolling, you will be returned to the Wii System Menu. |
| Item Rain | MrBean35000vr, Chadderz | Item Rain is a custom game mode created by MrBean35000vr and Chadderz. In this mode items fall randomly from the sky to disrupt the players during a race or battle. |
| LE-CODE | Leseratte | This distribution uses the LE-CODE game extension developed by Leseratte. |
| Max Lap Count Modifier | Geeh and MrEvil | A track can have anywhere between 1 and 8 laps. |
| Mushroom Dash | CuberHax | A mode that changes the item probabilities to always give Mushroom items. |
| Music Only My Stuff Folder | Unknown (found in SRCP, probably sadai) | A type of My Stuff folder that only uses the music files that may be put in the CTGP Revolution My Stuff folder. |
| My Stuff Folder | MrBean35000vr, Chadderz | Allows users to replace certain files with their own, allowing for custom textures, among other things. This distribution has its own My Stuff folder, along with the option for the CTGP Revolution, old CTGP, vX MKW Hack Pack, SRCP, and Cuber's Hack Pack My Stuff folders. |
| Race Count Modifier | JoshuaMK | Makes every amount of races from 1 to 32 selectable in VS Mode rules. |
| Random Items | CuberHax | An option that makes all items have an (almost) equal chance of appearing on the item roulette in any position. |
| Save game on SD Card | MrBean35000vr, Chadderz | Allows users to save their game on their SD Card, rather than the Wii's NAND. |
| 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). |
