Welcome to the Custom Mario Kart Wiiki!
Thank you for joining the Custom Mario Kart Wiiki!
Before you get started, click here to read the Rules page.
Keep the following in mind as you contribute to the site:
- Make good edits. Always use the SHOW PREVIEW button to check your changes before you use the SAVE button. If you make a mistake, wait 15 minutes before saving the same page a third or fourth time in a row.
- Saving lots of edits without PREVIEWING will get the moderators on your case, and can get you banned from the Wiiki.
- If you plan to update a lot of pages in a short period of time, please clear it with a moderator first.
- Write articles in third person (using words like he, she and they) instead of first person (I, me and we.) User pages and talk pages are the exceptions to this rule.
- Use correct grammar, spelling and capitalization.
- If someone posts on your talk page, please post a reply.
- Sign all of your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
- Don't delete anything from your talk page.
- Use the Templates on the Main Page when making new articles for content such as Custom Tracks, Texture Hacks, Characters and other releases.
- We encourage all content makers to create a User Link to put on their release pages and to add it to the Author List.

I need help with starting the distribution. GuidedByVoices (talk) 14:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- Sure, here's the steps you need to start with.
1) Choosing tracks:
Most distributions have 32 tracks. Ideally you will want to choose tracks that have a common theme and ones that aren't in popular distributions (CTGP) othewise people will just play those ones if they have the same tracks instead. Download all the tracks. You will need to edit the wiki pages to say that the track is used in your distribition.
2) Choose the type:
You can either use the CTGP My Stuff folder or Riivolution. If you are a beginner then I would recommend CTGP as its much easier
- CTGP My Stuff: To use My Stuff you would make a link to a folder with all the track SZS files you collected in step one. People would then download the folder and place the SZS files in their my stuff folder to run your distro. Here's a good example of a My Stuff distro.
- Riivolution: Watch this video and follow the links in the youtube video description to download the template and files you need. replace the term "your mod" with all the track SZS files you collected in step one.
Riivolution is harder than My Stuff but it is far more flexible and allows you to patch files such as Common.szs for more advanced mods such as stat/item edits. Here's a good example of a Riivolution distro.
3) Creating the wiki page:
Read this to setup and create the distribution page. If you need any more help please tell me.
PS: I would highly suggest making a User Link for yourself. It will make it easier for people to find your creations. --HackerCop (talk) 15:14, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- It still looks hard and confusing. If you want to edit my tracks click the link on my userpage. GuidedByVoices (talk) 17:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
