    Latest release v0.2.36, Oct 19, 2026Code last updated Oct 21, 2026License: GPL-3.0A list SubmitGame reads flags it as made with an AI's help.

    How to play
    1. It needs your own clean, unmodified disc image of Mario Kart Wii, the PAL version (RMCP01), dumped from your own disc: other regions and patched copies are refused.
    2. The easy way is Wheel Wizard: pick your own image under Settings, turn on WiiCompiled (beta) and click install on the Home page; it then installs, updates and launches the game.
    3. On macOS, download WiiCompiled-Setup.pkg from its releases and open it, then open WiiCompiled Setup in Applications and choose your own disc image.
    4. Setup translates and compiles the game on your machine, a one-time wait; on Windows, keep about 20 GB free during the install (the game then takes about 5 GB).
    5. On macOS, it may first ask to install the Xcode Command Line Tools: finish Apple's installer, then open Setup again.
    6. Press F10 in the game's window for its settings: resolution, controllers and button mapping, vibration, volume.
    7. Take its builds only from its releases page, never from an installer shared elsewhere.

About

Mario Kart Wii is a multiplayer-oriented racing game for the Wii, and the sixth main installment in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart Wii retains the traditional item-based weaponry familiar with the franchise, where players can select a Mario franchise driver and themed vehicles. As with most racing games, the overarching goal is to place first among other competitors, through the usage of such items and taking the fastest routes to secure the leads. Several new key elements introduced to Mario Kart Wii include increasing the number of racers to 12 racers from 8 racers from previous entries in the series, as well as introducing a new type of vehicle to the franchise: bikes. The game takes advantage of features unique to the Wii, most notably its motion control capabilities. A Wii Wheel is included in most Mario Kart Wii packages, though the game is still compatible with other controllers. Game modes are also present such as the traditional Grand Prix, Versus, Battle, and Time Trial modes.
