Forums - Nintendo - mario kart wii brings out the cheaters

skip on 12 April 2008

I know that some of you out there are reading this and laughing. That’s because you are one of the cheaters! Mario Kart Wii is hitting all around the world, and the cheaters are coming out in full-force. It seems that the the Time Trials mode is taking the biggest hit from cheaters. There are all sorts of impossible times popping up, and Nintendo is yet to do anything about it. Granted, the game has just come out in certain areas, so I am still hopefully for Nintendo to clamp down on these issues. Are we going to see Mario Kart Wii’s online fun ruined just as quickly as Mario Kart DS?

Thanks to the many, many readers that sent in this tip!

There's word that cheaters (you bastards!) are apparently moving in full force on Mario Kart Wii. Either that, or there's a bug. The Time Trials mode is getting hit hardest with all sorts of impossible times appearing. According to Mercurys Phoenix at the Official Nintendo Magazine forums writes:

I've only seen it on the Snowboard track - a guy with a time of 53 point something or other seconds. There are about three other people with exactly the same time. Like others have said, on the replay the guy just does one lap (excrutiatingly slowly) and then turns the opposite way just after the finish line. Then the replay doesn't stop. Personally, I think its a bug. I've only seen it on one track and there are others with the same time.

 I agree. Leaderboards are meh.

Beating actual people on the track is what it's all about.

so you mean Austrians are moving in in full force? No surprise since it launched there already. Rol, I blame you!!!

So far it seems like it's only time trials, right? So they get a number on a list that means nothing. It doesn't affect their Vs. or Battle rating scores, which are paid for in blood on the online battlefield.

They'll be using packet shapers to always get stars in every item box soon enough, I'm sure of it.



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
