Overview
Mario Kart Wii Tournament Museum is a mod that includes all* 49 unique tournaments that ran on the WiiConnect24 service before its closure.
The pack includes:
- A custom menu to select one of 49 tournaments.
- A new "View Replay" button after completing a tournament.
- A personal top 5 leaderboard that saves to the SD Card or save game.
- An optional feature to save Ghost Data to the SD Card, which might become watchable in a future update. Defaults to always save, but can be configured in the in-game settings menu to save only the fastest time, or never save. Ghost Data will only save if you use Riivolution.
- An option to skip the Wii Wheel controller restriction. Simply press A using the controller you wish to use and a confirm prompt will appear. However, your leaderboard rank and Ghost Data will not be saved.
Note that SD Card refers to the Riivolution filesystem, and includes USB Storage and RiiFS. It does not include the Load Riivolution patch feature in Dolphin Emulator.
- Competition 03 has not yet been recovered, so it has been recreated from scratch.

Installing
The mod supports all four regions of Mario Kart Wii.
Only available using Riivolution at the moment. An ISO patcher is not available, but may be in the future.
Wii/vWii
Assuming that you already have Riivolution installed, download and extract the zip file into the root of your SD Card or USB Storage device, then simply launch Riivolution and enable the "Tournament Museum" option.
Dolphin
You must be on at least Dolphin version 5.0-15407 or later.
Download and extract the zip file into {Dolphin User Folder}/Load/Riivolution. If you do not know where your Dolphin user folder is, it is usually located in your Documents folder under the name Dolphin Emulator.
After extracting, in Dolphin, right click on Mario Kart Wii in the game list and select Start with Riivolution Patches.... Then from there, locate the Tournament Museum option and select Enabled, then click Start.
MKWTM save data (mktmsave.bin) will be located in the normal Mario Kart Wii save directory on Dolphin. If you don't want this, use a save redirection patch.
Some minimap objects won't display properly unless you go into Graphics > Hacks > Texture Cache and slide Accuracy all the way to Safe.
