Misc. Item Hacks

An Item Hack is a hack of any item in Mario Kart Wii. They are usually in BRRES format, and are to be inserted into Common.szs using CTools, or SZS Modifier (if the file size is unchanged). These files include: Items used by racers, Lakitu and his signs, Lakitu's fishing pole, Bullet Bill, balloons, Star power color, Bob-omb explosions, lens flare and Rosalina's Luma. These types of hacks are commonly released as a pack, so both individual items and packs will be listed here.

Effect Hacks

Mario Kart Wii makes heavy use of BREFT and BREFF files to create effects, like sand around the wheels, Red/Green Shell trails and even lightning. Graphics in these files can be modified through use of specific tools. Downloads listed here should be a zip, rar, or similar file that contains both a BREFT and a BREFF if necessary.
