Overview

An Intermezzo is a weekly custom track distribution created by Wiimm to test all new and updated tracks offline and online. The first Intermezzo was released on 2012-10-22 and contained 19 tracks. From the beginning, item cheats were allowed to enable a more efficient way of testing tracks. As of September 2015, Intermezzos contained a built-in item cheat for the Wii Remote + Nunchuk and GameCube controllers.

An Intermezzo will usually be created every Tuesday. Wiimm implemented a generator that creates a fully automated Intermezzo in only a few minutes, optional with CT-CODE or LE-CODE. It is usually played online the following Wednesday after a Wiimms Mario Kart Fun tournament. Occasionally, an additional Intermezzo for the weekend will be created. Between 2012 to 2018, nearly all new tracks in Wiimm's CT archive were tested by a tester team using an Intermezzo. Since Fall 2018, only tracks that are either candidates for Wiimms Mario Kart Fun or contain interesting features will be added to an Intermezzo.

History

As of November 2013, each public Intermezzo will be announced at wii-homebrew.com. Intermezzos from previous weeks are available at download.wiimm.de.

As of April 2019, Intermezzos became the main LE-CODE testing distribution. Each installment contains 10 custom battle arenas and new custom tracks from the previous week.

As of January 2020, all new tracks and updates are included again. If not included for some reason, the prefix "+N" (compare table below) is used. You can request older track versions at the talk page.

Track Name Prefixes

Most track names begin with a plus sign followed by an optional letter. This divides tracks into categories:
