Overview
MKW Hack Pack is Huili's second distribution, and by far his most ambitious distribution ever. This distribution will have 2 installments to it: a distribution with 216 custom tracks and another distribution with 192 texture hack tracks, with the expansion of main.dol. Both of these distributions will be the first to ever have custom tracks only and the first distribution to have more than 32 original tracks textured.
Another thing about the MKW Hack Pack is that there are a lot of edited files, Huili wants to be able to change every aspect of the game by replacing original files with modified files. This includes custom characters, items, backmodels, earths, globes, miibody, race, boot up screens, title screens, selection screens, music, brsar sound effects, thps, minimaps, speedometers, countdown mode, brlan, tpl, menusingle other and multi files, driver, allkart, etc. All these changes are available on the single downloads google drive page for anyone who wants to customize the MKW Hack Pack the way they want. Huili also released a Master Collection of many music packs for this distribution, so you can find the music pack that works best for you, or you can download as many as you want.
Known bugs include the following: If your track is not picked during the vote screen, it won't be remembered the next time you have to vote for the next track. Instead, the track that got picked by someone else will be remembered. Sometimes the first 8 cups will not be available to vote from on regionals. These tracks will be available offline or on friend rooms all the time however. It has been reported to Huili that save games have gone missing for unknown reasons, his solution is to disable ctgp options on riivolution. Sometimes you can't meet up on the region for unknown reasons, friend rooms will always work however.
Battle mode bugs. You cannot meet up on the battle region. You can play coin runners on a friend room, but there's only 30 seconds counting down for you. Balloon battle in a friend room will never end, you will always be tied, and the timer will always be 0. When the clock reaches 0 on battle mode offline, the game will freeze. The following issues with battle mode are for custom tracks.Tracks on the Daisy Circuit, DS Desert Hills slot do not work offline on battle mode. Enemy routes are not working properly on offline battle mode, but they can still harm you.

Game Features
| Feature | Author | Information |
|---|---|---|
| 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 Tracks Worldwide | XeR | This distribution is capable of searching for random players to play custom tracks with. When running the pack, simply press the Regional/Continental button (which is renamed to Custom Tracks Worldwide) to search for custom track players. You can also join your friends who are playing CTWW, and they can join you. This feature is currently experimental, but seems to be working correctly. Credits to XeR for finding the required values to do this. |
| Random Track Selection | Chadderz | When in CTWW mode, picking random will allow the game to select a custom track based on a number provided by the game's RNG system. It can also be triggered by pressing + or Start (depending on your controller), and may be used offline to randomly select a track to play on. |
| Wi-Fi Timer | Chadderz | The countdown timer on the Wi-Fi voting screen is always shown now, rather than just when you're about to run out of time. This can give you a better idea of how long you have to make a decision when voting. The time allocated is 30 seconds. |
| Wi-Fi Time Limit Expansion | Chadderz | This distribution makes a modification to the race time limit on Wi-Fi. It has been expanded from 5 minutes to 5:40, allowing longer tracks to be entered and played through to completion. The game has another hard limit of 5:56 before it disconnects everyone, so it is impractical to increase the time beyond 5:40, as the time advances even when looking at leaderboards. If 5:40 is reached, the pack forces you past the leaderboards quickly to avoid disconnection. |
| Ghost Blocking | mdmwii | The game will not save ghosts at all in order to try to prevent save data corruption and accidental overwriting of ghosts. Personal leaderboards are also not updated. This feature is only temporary as future releases will support ghost data saving in a much more secure way. |
| Draggable Blue Shells | MrBean35000vr | Blue Shells can now be held behind you like Red and Green 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 wheelie-bumped while holding a blue shell behind you it will fall away and disappear. Only one Blue Shell can exist at once, so even when it is held out behind you it will be impossible for anyone else to get one from an item box. |
| Speedometer | Chadderz | Located in the lower right hand corner of the screen. This only works in single player modes. Units is KM/H (kilometers per hour). |
| Max Lap Count Modifier | Geeh and MrEvil | A track can have between 1 and 8 laps. |
| 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). |
| Wiimmfi | Wiimm and Leseratte | Support to play on a custom MKW server has been added as a replacement to Nintendo WFC.
For more details see Wiimmfi Project. |
| Minimap Colors | Wine, AC, and Pepo 2000 | Minimaps can now have colors. This affects every track in the pack. |
| Countdown Mode | MrBean35000vr | Countdown Mode has been added as a replacement for battles in single player online play. |
