This distribution is the first to make 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.
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.
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.
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.
This distribution makes a modification to the race time limit on WFC. It has been expanded from 5 minutes to 5:40.
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.
Blue Shells can now be held behind you like red 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.
When in online play, the player's character, vehicle and drift mode choice may be changed between races by pressing + on the Wii Remote (or Start on the GCN Controller) when on the VR screen. This simply takes the player back to the character select menu, and then returns them to the vote when they have reselected. If the time limit expires, the currently selected options are taken.
There is a weird "bug" in the game causing everyone to only get mushrooms after the 18th item online. The quotations for "bug" are there because it's a feature that Nintendo put into the game. Leseratte developed this code feature so that the item limit for mushrooms would be removed, even if you get more than 40 item boxes online.
License Unlock is a Cheat Code for all 4 regions of Mario Kart Wii, made by Wiimm. It unlocks all drivers, vehicles and courses of a single profile, but doesn't touch trophies.
