Playing Mario Kart Wii online with a Keyboard.

Mario Kart Wii has 4 main controller options, and in this video, we get to see why it wasn’t 5. I’d recently heard about some people who actually play this game with keyboards, and that really got me interested in seeing how well I (a classic controller pro user) would be able to perform online using a keyboard, which I’ve never really done. This resulted in lots of struggles, lag, funny moments, and (eventually) some pretty exciting results. I give you… Playing Mario Kart Wii with a Keyboard (I never thought I’d be naming a video that, haha). Also, no CTGP because I used Dolphin Emulator.

[@NintendoGamer2600]

Hey dude, I love to see this seemingly impossible things actually work. Keep it up my man. And I also have that same model Keyboard.

[@NintendoGamer2600]

My favorite flavor of ice cream is cookies n cream

[@GoldenDonut111]

Most underrated channel ever❤

[@beanzard64]

Thank you so much!@@GoldenDonut111

[@gigachadmemes4727]

Watching someone play Mario kart Wii still brings back so much nostalgia I remember playing with my friends all the time

[@averagejoe77_]

Cookies and Cream is the GOAT imo. Also, I started watching your channel a while ago, and I've watched like 90% of your videos in the past week. Keep up the great content! I think your creativity and real enthusiasm for the game makes your vids fantastic.

[@beanzard64]

Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content! And yeah, cookies and cream is hard to beat.

[@tremon3688]

I play mkwii with keyboard + mouse. I use WASD + CTRL + shift + tab keys for movement, look backwards etc, and I use mouse keys for wheelies, tricks, item placing and sniping

[@Hidden_Fern]

I was scrolling through your community tab and 17:00 made me jump a little (it’s a name I also go by lol)

[@DayE114]

W earthbound music You’re actually surprisingly good with the keyboard hahaha

[@Dave2kool4skool]

Dude I had that same keyboard back I think around 2007. Lol good times. Great video!

[@beanzard64]

Thank you (-: Windows XP Dell Keybord ftw!

[@liammcgrath7051]

Of course raceway's the one you win on lol

[@kenny_.E]

Anything can happen on raceway

[@puffpuffplush5820]

This is amazing. Makes me wish I could play online with my keyboard

[@dhavzr23]

playing on keyboard is actually kinda fun i picked it up surprisingly quickly when I tried it, even getting a 1:23 lap on Melting Magma Melee with it which is actually not too far off my best lap on CTGP💀 (i do not know why I put myself through that)

[@denimADS]

yo could you tell me your keybinds for keyboard for mk wii

[@dhavzr23]

my keyboard emulates the gcn controller. i dont think its the best setup however, because for example, i use the W key for up tricks, wheelie and nosediving. its a decent start for keybinds but there's definitely better ways than mine- this is just what i got used to@@denimADS

[@alejandroo_crx]

i just came here to say that i downloaded MKWii on my laptop, but since i don't have a controller i play on the keyboard, and i've found karts to be easier to control, outside drift bikes are kinda uncomfortable to use and inside drift bikes are reeally bad because there's too much drift

[@KetyRose7]

amazing! ^^ aww u wanted to save me from tc haha

[@thepersonwhoasked9475]

0:40 This is a certified CrackheadCraigslist moment

[@fhm2]

Super NES Mario Circuit 3 is my favorite track in the game, possibly the franchise.

[@steamysoles]

I’ve used automatic on keyboard and easily got to 8k vr using auto sneakster, I think it has even more potential and is surprisingly easy to use due to keyboards instant turning at the max radius kb is not intended for serious use at all tho due to the lack of angles, so for fun’s sake I’d highly recommend automatic

[@JohnLattanzio98]

lmao i have the same keyboard, and I play dolphin mkwii with it🤣 (but i usually play on console)

[@Waffles0]

💯 intro editing

[@beanzard64]

Thanks haha

[@eetuthegamer2458]

in finland we have ice cream called "pehmis" (i have no idea what its called on english) but its delicious. :D

[@omnitone]

old dell keyboard swag

[@snickfrompizzatower]

why do those trees on shy guy beach remind me of alolan exeggutor

[@sawgiie]

before i bought mayflash dolphin bar, i also just used keyboard, i made my left stick binds the exact same as my dpad binds, it's prolly cheating but it makes my life easier

[@joshuachang5210]

I play on dolphin so I not only all-gold and beat all advanced staff ghost on keyboard, but I also got 242 stars in both Galaxy games, 100% on new Wii and newer Wii on keyboard too. Imo it gives better precision than the nunchuk stick.

[@Junya01]

Did u dump your nand so you can play on wiimfii?

[@joshuachang5210]

@@Junya01 nah I just do single player

[@Acheron-IX]

@@Junya01what can i do to play on wiimfii because i’m pretty sure i locked myself out of doing online

[@Quixium]

bro i hate the way you're holding your controller, hurts me inside. anyways, good video bro. also how did you make the thumbnail?

[@beanzard64]

Haha thanks, I made the Thumbnail using Photopea.

[@Quixium]

@@beanzard64 bro i also use photopea- no way-

[@connor9568]

Try it, it’s way better for this game

[@gigachadmemes4727]

You should make a video of playing all the Mario kart games in one video

[@beanzard64]

Not a bad idea, I’ll keep that in mind 👍

[@Piano_Board]

i was in your last stream! my favourite flavour of ice cream is bubblegum

[@beanzard64]

Very good taste! GGs

[@TweeksYT]

Bro is better than me on Keyboard 😭

[@tobyzilla2.074]

Imagine the other players just realizing that they are playing with someone using a keyboard

[@beanzard64]

🤫

[@LennyQUMFIF]

I have an even dumber idea… Playing MKWii online, on a phone. (With touch controls on a phone, that’s probably just as bad as a keyboard or maybe even worse) And yes, dolphin is on phones

[@beanzard64]

Maybe

[@poofessuresno1miicontentfan]

i love cookie dough ice cream!! however, i dont like icecream very much, i prefer whipped cream. how about you bean?

[@beanzard64]

Mint chip all the way 🍦🍦

[@smol_man]

Sadly, my mom sold my wii a week ago, So keyboard is now my main way to play, with dolphin emulator, and i really get frustrated that i have to unlock everything again lol

[@disgusttedd8249]

How did u make the keys on keyboard?

[@smol_man]

I have nunchuck extention on, have movement on wsad, have a for j, b for k and item button ( i forgot which one that was lol) on l, r for plus/minus, enter for wii menu and more i dont use

[@Gyashonav]

This should have been done with a keyboard instead Just imagine the ŵøŋðěŕΓüł music from it!

1:17 my dad genuinely likes shy guy beach bc it's a beach

[@beanzard64]

He's got good taste

@@beanzard64 i agree 👍

[@timmy_tickleson12]

And yet he is still way better then me :(

[@Bodathemonkeyman]

my flavor is chocolate

[@kristinaphillips263]

Guys I'm sorry but mint chocolate chip is the best ice cream flavor hands down

[@isaacclemins8552]

Oreo ice cream

[@apexfabe6207]

how did u get the keyboard to wrok for dolphin its not working for me

[@beanzard64]

I’m not sure what wouldn’t be working, I didn’t have any problems… but try this tutorial, it may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ2WoWaVpLGVjq8

[@christopherx8283]

can you screen shot your keybinds

[@ghoulyzz]

Does anyone know how to play Mkwii online on dolphin?

[@PintoBeean]

is that actually how you hold a controller claw grip

[@beanzard64]

In the first shot, yeah. That just seems like the easiest way to play this game, at least with the Classic Controller.

[@koopamarketableplushie]

eh, doesn’t look too bad upon getting used to it

[@beanzard64]

Yeah, by the end it was actually pretty playable. The Dolphin lag was honestly worse than the keyboard itself.

[@lemon66111]

how do you play online on dolphin without getting DCed after joining a room?

[@beanzard64]

I haven’t really had that issue, I’m honestly more surprised I didn’t loose connection due to the lag I got on many races (namely, N64 Mario Raceway).

[@lemon66111]

@@beanzard64turns out it was a Wi-Fi issue

[@Aboverage]

Im pretty good with keyboard 😅

[@beanzard64]

It's a lost art

[@Sremolc]

keyboared and mouse is better than controller

[@gmdFrame]

Trackmania is better with a keyboard

[@slitheredboyz]

Lesson learned: don’t buy new controllers!

[@leoomg3017]

Are you greek ? Because your name in the game is in greek

[@beanzard64]

No, I just use those letters because I think it looks cool 🙃
