Features

Game Features

Feature	Author	Information
Antifreeze	MrBean35000vr, TheLordScruffy, Seeky, Star, _tZ	A series of codes which patch commonly known crash causes.
Change Character 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.
Custom Lap Counter	Ismy, other codes by Seeky and _tZ	The milliseconds are now used as the current lap, and the UI has been modified to reflect this change.
Custom Server Support	Wiimm, Leseratte	Support to play on Wiimmfi has been added as a replacement to Nintendo WFC. The pack comes with a custom region so that regional/continental races work.
Disable Time Limit	RoGamer	The five minute time limit, the 5:56 disconnection and the 30 second finish threshold have been removed to accommodate for the longer races.
Don't Hide Position After Race	MrBean35000vr	Prevents the game from hiding the player's position once the race is over.
Equal Item Probability	Vega	Makes all item probabilities exactly equal, thus making items random.
Force 150cc Online	XeR	Forces 150cc in online races.
Increase Visual Distance	davidevgen	Increases the draw distance of objects to allow players to spot items earlier.
Instant Item Boxes	Anarion	Item boxes now respawn instantly to allow everyone to get items.
No Disconnect	BullyWiiPlaza	Prevents the game from disconnecting players which are idle for too long.
Points Table Modifier	CLF78	Every score in friend rooms and VS mode is multiplied by the amount of players.
Random Woodbox/Bush Items	Seeky	Randomizes leaf pile and wooden box item chances.
Remove Mushroom Bug	Vega	The mushroom bug is a "feature" implemented in the game to give you a Mushroom for your 16th, 18th, and 20th+ item, regardless of your position.
Show Everyone's Times After Race	Melg	Every player's finish time is shown at the end of each race in all VS mode races (in both Worldwides and Friend Rooms).
Starting Lap Modifier	BullyWiiPlaza, JoshuaMK	The race is started 44 laps back, then all tracks are set to six laps (for a total of 50 laps) to make Lakitu appear in the last five laps.
Ultra UnCut	MrBean35000vr and Chadderz	Ultra UnCut fixes the Start Line Bug that causes many Ultra Shortcuts.

Item Edits

Feature	Author	Information
All Items Can Land	MrBean35000vr	Every item can land on the floor when dropped and be activated when a racer drives over it. Item effects are identical to if the user actually fired the item themselves. The code has been modified to remove the Blooper.
Blue Shell Speed Modifier	mdmwii	Blue Shells' traveling speed has been increased to 4×. However, they can still be dodged with Mushrooms.
Bullet Bill Speed Modifier	davidevgen	Bullet Bills now move at 220 km/h, making them the most valuable item in order to catch up to other players.
Draggable Blue Shells	Luis	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 the player gets wheelie-bumped while holding a Blue Shell behind, it will fall and stay on the ground due to the effect of All Items Can Land.
Fast POW	mdmwii	The POW Block hits at the second strike instead of the third one to catch players by surprise.
Ground Golden Mushroom Mod	CLF78	Picking a Golden Mushroom on the ground with an item in your inventory will duplicate that item (for example, if your item is a Bullet Bill, it will let you hold two Bullet Bills instead of one).
Green Shell Speed Modifier	davidevgen	Green Shells now move at 2× speed.
Max Item Limit Modifier	davidevgen and Luis	Increases the amount of items that can be in play to make for more chaotic racing.
Mega Thunder Cloud	_tZ	The Thunder Cloud gives a Mega Mushroom effect, instead of shocking the player.
Motion Sensor Bomb	Hamster35000vr	Bob-ombs only explode when someone gets close to them.
No Bullet Bill Icon	Anarion	Once you use a Bullet Bill, its icon in the roulette goes away, allowing you to pick up another item while in it.
POW Yourself in 1st	_tZ	If you use a POW Block in 1st place, you will POW yourself.
Replace Blooper with Triple FIBs	CLF78 and Seeky, other codes by Vega and Luis	The Blooper is fully replaced by Triple Fake Item Boxes.
Wooden Box Respawn Modifier	Atlas	Wooden boxes respawn faster and closer to the ground.
