How Broken is Mario Kart Wii? 

I'm pretty sure the majority of people that have heard of Mario Kart Wii already know how broken it is.

Mk wii is basically the smash bros melee of mario karts: lots of glitches that deepens the gameplay and make it more fun.

Everyone: *Struggling to go through water and getting stuck in the grass in Shy Guy Beach* Toadette: Hmm yes the water here is very watery.

hearing funky kong brings back memories

"how much broken is mario kart Wii?" A lot

Things to take note of: *daisy rides dirty* *Maple tree way is actually a maple freeway* *does not include chonk shy guy*

6:15 WOAH, Hold it right there, Daisy. You can’t cuss in this family friendly game.

3:39 Funky Kong laughed because he just beat the system.

Man, seeing that grumble volcano shortcut brought back memories of playing online in that level and half the players at the start would just immediately turn around and attempt it. Good times..

There's also this one incredibly broken and fun glitch that can only happen in online play. This glitch is however insanely rare. If someone with a Thundercloud bumps into you, you'll be given the Thundercloud's speed and acceleration and off-road boost, but you'll recieve the Thundercloud shortly after. Because of this, if a Thundercloud user bumps into you and then activates an invincibility item, you'll obtain the boost, but you won't obtain a Thundercloud, since it's been deleted by an invincibility item. If you are lucky enough, if this happens to you, you'll maintain all the Thundercloud boosts for the entire rest of the race. (As long as you don't obtain any other Thunderclouds.)

“Not as extreme” *proceeds to jump through a roof*

The non-US shortcuts are why, in part, this game still has an active online community today. Later games don't give you as much freedom, with 8 straight up removing all freedom.

"How Broken is Mario Kart Wii?" _yes_

"How broken is mario kart wii?" Me : *Ultrashotcut flash back*

I'm SO glad someone else knows about the glitch letting you play as the same character! It's so easy to pull off that after playing hundreds of hours of the game, I just figured it out, and considering how useful it is, it's a surprise not many know about it.

"There are some other clips that are not as extreme as the ones you saw" "Clips through wall into the ceiling" "Literally falls off a mountain" "Jumps over a lava lake" *Not as extreme*

Funky Kong is the Melee Fox of the Mario Kart Universe.

So ... I guess MK Wii is like the Smash Bros Melee of Mario Kart ? Strong community even though the game is old and there are newer titles ? Check. Same community saying that those newer titles are "not as good as their game" or simply "bad" ? Check. *Some* of the players being litteral elitist ? Check. Game's meta is over-centralising on just a few characters (compared to the actual roster of the game) and "mechanics" ? Check. *Broken AF* ? Fucking. *Check*. And the game itself is still pretty good anyway ? ... Yeah, check.

Oops, my my Mario kart Wii for the Nintendo Wii broke

Love this series, keep it up👍🏻

I don’t even feel like 7 minutes is truly enough time to showcase how broken MKWii actually is

After watching this, RU-vid will put TWD98 in your recommended feed. I guarantee it.

Things I learned from this video: -After the MG ultra, going extremely outside normal lines and shrooming past the tree is fine. -The Maple Treeway shortcut was TASed: he gets a double trick on the ramp, lands into the shortcut by the tree (when it's usually the tent), and gets exactly a 1:23.000 as a lap. -Hopping isn't needed for WGM. -My lines for GV (ultra) and BC3 can be absolutely ridiculous and still allow for the completion of the shortcut. -You can overshoot the BCWii shortcut -It's possible to actually go straight into the pyramid after doing the DH cut -Doing the DK Mountain glitch does not imply you do the shortcut right after. -The rock hop in GV isn't a thing -Doing a 1 second RR shortcut is better than mentioning the DKS double. -Having a certain bike on SGB is an ultra shortcut in itself. Haha jk, great video for those starting to learn glitches of the game.

For those wondering... in terms of the current time trial TAS scene for this game, there are currently 30 tracks with glitches (of which 25 are faster in 3 lap runs). Of those 30 tracks, 18 of them have the specific type of glitch known as an “ultra shortcut” which are time saving glitches that skip any number of the game’s key checkpoints (of these 18, only 16 of them save time in 3 lap runs). Again, of the 30 tracks with glitches, 18 of them have a glitch known as “supergrinding” which is a version of rapid-fire hop abuse (using a change in slope and spamming hopping every other frame to lock the bike’s rotation) that aims to gain sideways momentum (of these 18, only 7 save time in 3 lap runs). You may be wondering why some exist but don’t save time in 3lap runs. This is because we create fast lap runs which aim to finish one single lap as fast as possible instead of all three laps. But what about RTA (real time attack)? Yes, there are real time speedruns of this game, mainly time trials as the full game speedrun is not as popular. Of these 30 tracks’ glitches; Rainbow Road and GCN Waluigi Stadium haven’t been pulled off, it is assumed that GBA Bowser Castle 3 and N64 Mario Raceway are never going to be pulled off to save time, any glitches that require RFHA (rapid-fire hop abuse) or supergrinding are humanly impossible without a modded controller or pause/home menu buffering (both of which are banned and counted as cheating). This game is still very much alive and the following links are where you can join into the fun! RTA records: mkwrs.com RTA top 10s: mkleaderboards.com TAS records: mkwtas.com

Teacher: Kids, how broken are Mario games? Kids: A lot.

"How broken is Mario Kart Wii?" Bikes: *Hold my Nunchuck*

1:58 nobody's gonna mention you can do this ultra shortcut without falling off?

This is a super lazy video. You just showed off some easy ultra shortcuts and quirks this game has. Summoning Salt's "The History of the Ultra Shortcut" video is much more interesting and in-depth even if you don't play Mario Kart Wii. If I can give you credit for anything, at least the game looks good. It seems that it's being played in Dolphin Emulator.

Lmao if you think the magikruiser is broken on shy guy beach, you aren’t ready for sherbet land. Because the ice has an off-road stat due to the slipping and the magikruiser has a higher speed than normal on off-road, the magikruiser goes much faster than any other vehicle on that track. It’s basically an S-teir bike on sherbet land

the wall of the mushroom gorge we know

MKDS: I'm the most broken game in the franchise because of the mini-dash abuse! MKWii: *Laughs in ultra-shortcuts*

It being broken is what made it so good. Had it had ROB it would be the best Mario Kart hands down

4:15 This is not even unexpected or necessarily unintended

People are saying oh the memories. You still play mkwii today if you have a Wii or WiiU. There's this great mod pack called CTGP. It brings back online, and a a lot of other stuff. And it's still being updated. There's a really big community still.

It shouldn’t even called mario kart when they are driving motor bikes

Still the best MKart :D if anything these make it more fun, because there are noglitch and noultra categories in speedrunning now. and CTGP is still around

0:40 what the hell is he doing ???

0:19 and pass sound warning

Pretty bad driving and didn't showcase anything from the past few years like the Sherbet clip, Shy Guy clip, and didn't explain how/why these glitches work

I'm not gonna lie, this stuff actually makes me like Mario Kart Wii even more. Its not a perfect game, but god was it fun. I still fully regret selling my wii when I got the switch, had I known the modern mario kart games were going to be as god awful as they are, I would have kept it around for some throwback racing with friends.

This is one of the biggest reasons Mario Kart Wii is one of the best games if not the best. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just isn't on the same level as MKWII

0:57 TAS confirmed

Every video I’ve seen in this “How broken is ______” series is glitches I’ve already seen on other RU-vid channels. This is just lazy.

When mario kart actually was a good Game and not trash like the one for the switch

These are not intended shortcuts...everygame has broken out of bounds, un intended, exploits....but this is not the fault of Mario Kart Wii.

This is the kinda stuff that's the reason why people say this game is better than the more recent games in the series. And I agree. This stuff is epic

2:20 dry bones on the spear?

The real question is how much better is it than 8.

How broken is Mario Kart Wii? Funky Kong: yes

3:00 why tf did you use 2 shrooms? 1 would've put you in a way better position

5:37 Daisy, I don’t think you’re supposed to drive like that

Bruh these ain't even good you can hit that ultra shortcut 3 times on mushroom gorge

Did you guys collect this footage yourselves? Would explain why many ultra shortcuts are not shown

Pretty tragic execution of mushroom gorge ultra and bc3 lol

Wow I played this game so much when I was younger. Crazy how dated it looks 😶 Also crazy that 10 yr old me never knew of these glitches

This is undesputetly the most broken mario kart game to offer. MKDS Snaking is nothing compared to Wii

BEST MARIO KART GAME EVER imo

I honestly expected to see the Item Routing in this video since red sheel are pretty dumb in this game, One Turn with a Wall just breaks them completely making red shells kinda pointless in this game.

The only one I ever knew was the 3:19 little ramp thing ...

“Do not cite the ancient magic to me witch, I was there when it was written.”

A minha parte favorita foi a parte das Daisy's foi brutal e tenho que tentar! UAU! Eu já tentei e funciona! Também experimentei com a Rosalina e também funciona! Vou esprimentar por exemplo com o Funky kong! Ou então o toad! Que fixe não acredito! :0)

Why is this something characteristic about every Mario Kart Game, they look so well made and well polished for their time but they are really very glitchy and full of bugs and there are always super crazy stupid shortcuts

And you even left out half of it lol 😂 . . . Gap cuts, wall clips, item balancing, overpowered bikes, hell you didn't even show off the rock hop or rainbow road ultra! Love the video though!

Just watch summoning salts vid

"How broken is Mario kart Wii?" Answer: _yes_

These are not glitches they are epic Gamer moves

7:09 rainbow road is my favorite Mario kart Wii map

Magikruiser on shy guy beach was shown (where spear is actually better, btw), but not sherbet land? Apart from the cave, the whole track is off-road!

How Broken is Mario Kart Wii? Smashing the game disc wouldn’t make it any more broken

3:40 Actually you can do this trick without even falling off, you have to hit the left side of that spire to hop across.

My 1st mario kart game i got since i was young. Man its so good being born in the day it came out (the console, not the game)

The most glitchy and best Mario games ever (super Mario sunshine and Mario kart wii)

Play CTGP!

Oh, so that's why people still play it. It's the Mario Kart series's SSB Melee.

"No views, 25 likes"

Why has no one mentioned how THICCC daisy is on those bikes

I really need to get Mario Kart Wii and get CTGP to enjoy the full experience from what the video has shown me (funny enough I still have my Wii).

Me knowing all of theese because i watch too much TWD98: Laughs in Knowledge

the irony is that it could easily be fixed by making it so players have to go through a series of invisible checkpoints to count as a lap

I'll tell ya what's broken: The bikes and their inside drift!

0:01 I've never heard of these in my whole time playing, guess its time to boot up the Wii again.

You're mentioning the magikruiser but didn't mention sherbet land?

I still don’t know why everyone I face up against in MKWii is Funky Kong. I mean yeah, he’s exclusive to Wii, but is he *that* special?

2:04 and 6:19 had me dying lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I used a lot that shortcut in Rainbow Road, I really loved that course so much that it became my personal playground. If I had to win with certainty, that was the track to choose.

Some of these are outdated, such as the one in Wario's Gold Mine

Bro i had wii but then we got nitendo😅😅

Nobody: Mirio when he plays Mario kart

Bruh I think they stole how Roblox made the water look

Gg for making the shortcut but they have been done badly

These shortcut guys make the game look like a sandbox game

Why have I played this game and never noticed this lol

This is the best game of the wii 1000000000/10

6:15 Did Daisy just say "Yeah what the fuck" ???

This was my favorite Mario kart. Me and my friends had no idea about these shortcuts lol

There was so much freedom in Mario kart Wii

It glichy but it is still the best mariokart ever

Who else still plays Mario kart wii

This is the most original comments section of all time, yes.

Mario Kart Wii also know as Glitch Kart Wii.
