Another oddity related to unlocking something in Mario Kart 7 is shown below: When the game displays the gift graphic, if the player goes to the previous screen, and then advances forwards, the menu's music will pause for a few seconds, and then it'll restart.

In Mario Kart 7, when you unlock a new vehicle part, it appears as a gift icon in the selection menu until you open it However, if accessing the Mario Kart Channel’s kart customization screen beforehand, it'll be shown as unlocked before you open the gift, spoiling the surprise

Thanks to Ro and henrymkw for telling me about this! Note that in the video above, savestates where used to make testing easier. The following clips show this happening without cuts: * twitch.tv/sabomkw/clip/V… (source: さっぼさん) * youtu.be/qhVUpQr25Qk?t=… (source: marito_yo)

In Mario Kart Wii, it's possible to make the Star music keep playing while on the Mega Mushroom-only state by using a Star and then activating a Mega Mushroom right when the Star ends.

The end of Mario Kart Wii's development was met with unusual excitement, according to designer Yoko Tanaka. According to her, when the end of development was announced, the team stood up and applauded. One of the programmers even cried, and was lifted in the air by other members

Here's the code behind this. Note that Peach's animation was was modded to be frozen here, to make the effect easier to see (the ponytail movements are controlled by code) - Ghidra project: mk7re (addresses are for the European Download Play version) github.com/mk7re

In Mario Kart 7’s vehicle select screen, Peach’s ponytail subtly shifts aside when previewing gliders with a rear pole to avoid clipping. This is, all gliders except for Paraglider and Swopper This doesn't happen in-race: the hair'll shift even when using a glider without a pole

@thetreyceratops In this video, I'm in GCN Peach Beach's first competition / tournament (which originally took place in July 2009), as it has two item boxes that only have green shells, making this oddity easier to perform. x.com/B_squo/status/…

While it's technically possible to do this on any game mode, it's much easier to do it in GCN Peach Beach's first competition (as shown in the video), by using its Green shell-only itemboxes. Sources: - youtube.com/watch?v=7oViy8… - Tournament Museum mod: github.com/mkwcat/mkw-tou…

In Mario Kart Wii, it's possible to push Cataquacks towards a certain direction by hitting them constantly with an item. Doing this enough times allows you to move the Cataquack out of bounds, making it impossible for them to return back to its original position.

@dee_durag At the moment I don't really know the exact details, but one thing that I know that wasn't showcased in this video is that Cataquacks won't attempt to chase you at all (even when they should) if they're very far away (by >= 7000 units?) from they're original position.

In Mario Kart 7, snow can make the game (very appropriately) freeze. Driving in and out out of the tunnel on DS DK Pass to make snow start and stop quickly will overload the game's GPU with snow, freezing the game.

@Pengu0n @MarioBrothBlog The goats at TCRF thankfully have it all documented, but the gist is that it’s an older header format that mainly shifts everything by four bytes and causes literally everything to be read wrong. Fix it and yes, this track is literally the exact same down to the byte to loser

Mario Kart Wii contains an unused track that looks so corrupted that most videos do not have the bitrate necessary to properly convey how corrupted it is. However, its textures are merely in the wrong format. Changing the format reveals the track looks completely normal.

In Mario Kart Wii, the Thunder Cloud item can be passed off to other players. While this appears to be able to go on forever, there is actually an internal limit to this. After being passed around 255 times, the cloud will have had enough and strike the last player to receive it.

The game doesn't seem to give you "invincibility frames" when correctly dodging the item using a Mushroom ("invincibility" as in being totally immune to damage). Rather, it appears to make it explode early, or at a slightly longer distance behind the player than normal.

Mario Kart Wii has a plethora of ways to dodge the Blue Shell without requiring a Mushroom item, as seen in the videos below. * youtube.com/watch?v=K7xy4y… * x.com/MKWFacts/statu… With that said, let's take a quick look into some of the code behind Blue Shells in VS races 👇

Just like Red Shells and Green Shells, it is possible for a Blue Shell to break on a banana. Although it is incredibly tricky to pull off. The video below shows an example.
