Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Hackers taking over latest Mario Kart Wii tournament

The newest Mario Kart Wii tournament went live a few days ago, but unfortunately, some participants took it upon themselves to hack their way to the top. Two racers have submitted ludicrous times - 0.004 and 0.609 seconds. Immediately upon looking at these results, one would quickly surmise that the results would not have been able to have been achieved through ethical means. Also, one of the hackers has gone so far as to dawn the name “ihack@you.” This is not the first time the Mario Kart Wii online system has been hacked. Previously, people began to exploit the Time Trials system to earn impossible times. Nintendo was able to root out and take care of cheaters, so it is expected that Nintendo will take similar action with this latest issue.

Or, RickRoll is just the smartest hacker and realized that if their time was only *slightly* better than the fastest real time, it may sneak through any filters nintendo puts in...



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

Yeah - 4sec better than all other times, with all other times within a fraction of a second of the others. Hmmm...

Suspicious to say the least. Ninty will fix them all :P
