I wanted to make sure Dolphin was working after shifting Emu Deck over to a new Drive, so i tested it with Mario Kart Wii.
Mario Kart Wii is one of the few games i still own my original disk for that still works. Though i have much fonder memories of MK64 (through the Wii VC ironically enough), this one is still one of my favorites due to how chaotic it can get. Not to mention the Inclusion of Waluigi and Funky Kong is awesome. Never have i ever wanted to drive as an ape with sunglasses more than i have playing this game. Not to mention the retro track collection is pretty solid IMO.
I took this screenshot on Mario Circuit after getting my ass handed to me by a Ghost Baby. Poor Waluigi deserved better than this.
I also did Sherbert land, and though my time was way worse than when i raised the ghost child, Waluigi was happy, which is all that matters to me.
Shortly after though, I sadly lost to Daisy though after a race in Coconut Mall as Waluigi isn’t allowed an ounce of joy in this world apparently.
Mario Kart Wii is very cool, it has some of the best tracks and very fun physics. And I know it’s been a bit of joke online, but the wheel style motion controls were actually fine too.
Though I understand why they toned down the tricks and nerfed bikes in 7 and 8. They were fun, but a bit much.
I had a wheel growing up and it was by far my favorite way to play it. If I had a wheel still I might have tried to use it to play with Dolphin
