Hello there! I'm NintenYoshi, but I also go by NintyYoshi or just Ninty. I'm a fan of all things Nintendo and Mario Kart, and my hobbies include modding, art, video editing and obviously gaming. I mainly mod [[Mario Kart Wii]] and [[Mario Kart DS]], and use [[Blender]] to model my tracks. I especially like to make my tracks feel like they belong in the Mario world, and while I'm good with visuals gameplay is not my strong suit, but I'm trying to improve on that. I also make some retros from time to time of tracks that I really like.

Hey there! I'm AltairYoshi, or simply Altair! I'm a big fan of everything [[Nintendo]] and especially the Mario series. I have a variety of hobbies, such as art, video editing, gaming, and of course modding! I've been modding games since 2018, with my main focus being ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart DS''. I don't play or mod the games as much as I used to, as my interests have been changing, but I'm making some things here and there.
  
−
Feel free to report any bugs or issues in any of my tracks! I am also okay with any small updates to my tracks, but if it says '''Yes/Only minor fixes''' on the Update planned section of the list below, I will most likely work on an update myself. Adding any of my tracks to distributions is also okay, no need to ask. Lastly, if you wish to use any original assets from my tracks, such as a model or texture, please ask me about it first.
+
For my tracks, I use [[Blender]]. My primary track design motto is to make tracks that really feel like places in the Mario universe when it comes to their settings and themes, with gameplay that aims to be somewhat interesting, and fair for all vehicles and players. I'm not very skilled at the game, so high level strats and cuts are not to be expected of what I make. Above all, I enjoy making visually appealing tracks and exploring the wide variety of KMP objects the game offers.
  
−
In case you want to contact me my most reliable place is at Discord: ''NintyYoshi#3135''.
+
My policies regarding my creations are lax for the most part. If you wish to make a small update to one of my tracks, such as a bug fix or slot change, go ahead. If the update greatly concerns gameplay or visuals, I'd appreciate a message on Discord about it. Adding any of my tracks and mods to a distribution is totally fine by me, thank you if you do! If there's a texture, model or object I created that you wish to use in your track feel free, but I'd appreciate credit in the wiki page. Most of my textures are from Nintendo however, so those are obviously fair game. Chances are that any custom objects/models I make will also be released publicly later on, in which case they'll be listed in the ''Other Mods'' section of this page.

 +
Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my mods!

Notice
As of July 2022, I have decided to slowly take a step back from MKWii and the community for several reasons. I expect to retire this year once all my projects are dealt with. To know more of why all of that is, read this document.

Hey there! I'm AltairYoshi, or simply Altair! I'm a big fan of everything Nintendo and especially the Mario series. I have a variety of hobbies, such as art, video editing, gaming, and of course modding! I've been modding games since 2018, with my main focus being Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart DS. I don't play or mod the games as much as I used to, as my interests have been changing, but I'm making some things here and there.

For my tracks, I use Blender. My primary track design motto is to make tracks that really feel like places in the Mario universe when it comes to their settings and themes, with gameplay that aims to be somewhat interesting, and fair for all vehicles and players. I'm not very skilled at the game, so high level strats and cuts are not to be expected of what I make. Above all, I enjoy making visually appealing tracks and exploring the wide variety of KMP objects the game offers.

My policies regarding my creations are lax for the most part. If you wish to make a small update to one of my tracks, such as a bug fix or slot change, go ahead. If the update greatly concerns gameplay or visuals, I'd appreciate a message on Discord about it. Adding any of my tracks and mods to a distribution is totally fine by me, thank you if you do!
