Mario Kart Wii - Online Item Rain! Items, items everywhere...

Now you can be destroyed by randomly dropped items with friends! These races were played on a custom region on the Wiimmfi custom server, a service designed to allow people to keep playing Wii/DS games online after Nintendo WFC shutdown.
Man, oh man, it took considerable work to get this running properly online. It didn't take too long to get it initially working, but it had so many random problems that it took ages to get it completely fixed up. But now, it seems to be working pretty well!
If you've not seen my previous video about this code, this is a mod to Mario Kart Wii that randomly drops items on the track! It can drop shells, fake item boxes, stars, mushrooms, bananas and bombs. The goal is to reach the finish line while avoiding being hit by the onslaught of stuff, while maybe snagging a star here and there to help you catch up!
There have been some changes to the code to improve it for online since the previous video; aside from making it work online in the first place, the item rain now aims at all players, not just player 1, so everyone will be seeing it no matter what. The rate is still 30 items per second, but that's now spread across all racers (so in a 10 player room, where everyone was completely spread out, each player would see 3 items/sec). Furthermore, the game framerate is automatically reduced to 30fps when there are 9 or more people, as the online starts to become unplayable if you leave it at 60 with that many people there. Item probabilities have not changed yet, but I was more concerned with just getting it working online than altering that. It may be changed later!
When playing online, everyone needs to run the code (and they all must have the same version of it). People without the code will NOT be able to properly see the rain due to changes to the network protocol required to make it work. So there's no point using it online if only you are running it. You won't see many items and neither will they. You are also not allowed to use it in Worldwide, but you are welcome to use the custom region (included in the code, just search Regional/Continental) to try it out, or friend rooms.
The fully updated code is available here: pastebin.com/0j3eUhDA
To load the code and Wiimmfi simultaneously, I recommend either using USB Loader GX, which is capable of loading codes with Wiimmfi, or Riivolution combined with Atlas's WHackR pack. Use the AXNextFrame hook in the Ocarina settings.
I do plan to port it to CTGP, but that may take a while. Be patient!
Meanwhile, I hope everyone enjoys the video, and thanks for watching! If anyone wants to see more races, let me know. I have a ton of great footage available to upload!

[@TWD98]

On a flat course with no walls like Shy Guy Beach, you can visually see how ridiculous this hack really is XD

[@headsetsonlysbro]

yes but you have more ways to avoid items!

[@stanz47]

ItZ yA BOI

[@MrBean35000vr]

Hahah, yep :P N64 Mario Raceway is another good one, with so much offroad, items land and persist for ages all over the place.

[@ShirmaAkayaku]

This is a weird question but are the items that spawn in client side, or server side? IDK if my question makes sense.

[@stanz47]

I get what you mean and i think only bean can answer that

[@Quasmok]

“If 8 player Smash was a racing game“

[@ivy_47]

Can even go up to 12 in this!

[@aidansmachines]

Quasmok haha

[@MrBean35000vr]

I have plenty more footage available if people want to see more online races of Item Rain! Would people be interested in that?

[@shulkres1590]

MrBean35000vr Yes! It's awesome!

[@sanaki_gamer2026]

Yes! Please do more!

[@aaronmk7]

MrBean35000vr yes

[@headsetsonlysbro]

MrBean35000vr YES, but make one it has least 12 players! And make people understand why it has to be in lower frame rate you could show your little on your twitch video before it got update.

[@Nightcaat]

Yes, please!

[@CLHGaming]

This is probably how new players feel in mkwii

[@sanmelonti3199]

This makes blooper so much more usefull

[@refahood]

4:18 Game: Nope no star for you 4:20 Game: You missed the star so we'll give you a fake item box.

[@Tombwarrior]

GGs, I had loads of fun playing these!

[@MrBean35000vr]

GGs!

[@headsetsonlysbro]

GGs even though not in the video but still fun!

[@SpearMKW]

4:18 greed was punished that day

[@tarnwilliamson6002]

Pure genius!! Cannot wait to play this, If I may suggest, I would reduce bomb sound levels (if possible). Great work!

[@MrBean35000vr]

Yeah, I'll look into that. They're a little noisy :P

[@michael0248]

Jesus, that sounds like the 3rd world war, to be honest..! lol

[@adalydebest9152]

4:49 Would have been a lit bam shock dodge if you didn't get bad luck with the items falling right afterwards 5:48 o wait never mind lol

[@xekolaxo]

Adaly Debest wow you here

[@arsyn4504]

H

[@SneakySneasel]

5:20 wait how did you both get the star lmao

[@Nightcaat]

It’s awesome to see what people are doing with this game even after almost 10 years. It’s beautiful...

[@HumdrumAnt]

Remember you saying it'd be hard to get working online in the last video, well done bean you always impress us!

[@icepop54367]

This looks so fun! It would be sweet to see this as an online mode like count down even with normal tracks that would be cool. Custom tracks would be nuts

[@stanz47]

MrBean, thanks for answering my question on last video and also you are the best and Mariokart thanks you for all you have done

[@arasckr]

Mach bike only room, I like it.

[@alexandra1psngirlyshowsand650]

This is honestly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen! lol I’ve been enjoying playing on the alternative server for Wiimmfi on MKWII and I never expected this to happen. I don’t have the customs tracks or other things to help me get set up for these, so I can’t experience this, but this looks fun! Hope to find a tutorial vid that I can understand easily soon. :)

[@Wiiyamoto]

Nice! ;) 3:41 Play that bomb dodge in slow mo, it looks epic xD

[@madtatters]

All you hear are constant explosions. I LOVE IT!

[@funnyguylop6102]

I love how you can't even hear the music anymore

[@johnnyelbowisalegend1066]

Love your videos so much

[@4tw_EpicYoshi]

Yessssssss I am ready

[@Vorneox]

4tw EpicYoshi stream it lol

[@ethangoldd]

stream.

[@aidansmachines]

4tw EpicYoshi I am not.

[@thho573]

A new version of CTGP (for example 1,04) would be possible to add the custom mission mode and the item Rain codes when seen the quantity of contained which it is going to bring into the game ? (As suggestions)

[@Denik19]

Random question: is it possible to load ctgp from a usb drive? I don’t mean usb loading, I mean downloading the stuff from chadsoft, putting it on a usb drive and loading it from there, similar to how you would do it on an sd card.

[@aidansmachines]

To download custom tracks with return of jodi can you use an SDHC card or does it have to be SD?

[@cookie_ninja5004]

So I downloaded homebrew without the sd card method. If I want to add a hack for single player use, will I need a sd card or can I download the hack through the hombrew channel

[@Adderallie]

How do you run codes on wiimfi (I do plan to only use friend rooms with everyone having the code loaded)

[@jamesss8656]

Hey when’s the next ct update? I’ve been looking forward to new tracks but it’s been 5 months and spykid and sniki have made new tracks and Ethanmark

[@ccao94]

3:24 4:18 lol 6:42 almost :o 7:04 lmao the guy with bill ball took fake item

[@amanguver]

7:04 was hilarious x)

[@darkestendo8560]

0:27 when u try ur best but u dont succeed (R.I.P star)

[@Nightcaat]

“Mushroom Kingdom News here with the latest update to the weather. Tell em, Toad.” “Well, as you can see, the weather is currently Bob-Omb, Star, Mushroom, Banana, Fake Item Box, Green Shells, and Red Shells. In case it wasn’t obvious enough, this is most definitely not normal, and is probably the work of a Mario Kart Wii hacker. It’s not the first time we’ve seen ridiculousness in-game, folks...” “Thank you, Toad. Now, back to the real news; my cat is stuck in a tree. Will anybody help him?”

[@DragonProtector]

omg lol

[@worldsboss]

So long as mega mushrooms, bullets, lightning, etc are still planned to be droppable items eventually then I’ll wait as long as it takes. This would be super cool to see in CTGPR! Worldwide, CT Worldwide, Countdown, Item Rain. That’ll be a badass menu :D

[@Sterling20073]

Keen to play the ctgp game, but I don't have the disk just wiimmfi hdd version, impossible to play without the disk?

[@gifzwerk]

Star rate lower, bomb rate higher, fake item box rate higher, mushroom rate lower and everything will be perfect :)

[@TommyP27]

Hey mr bean I’m having trouble using wiimmfi it says in game that either the Nintendo servers are high or the services has been discontinued or something like that. Do you know how to fix it

[@Mellonpizza]

Honestly could be interesting seeing this as a rare race type in online, possibly replacing 100cc possibly would need to change how much vr is added/subtracted so peoples 9999 dont get ruined by a funny race, but i could see it being a nice refresher

[@SnishyFishy2]

Mrbean, I bought a new Mario Kart Wii disk after my old copy broke (I have Wimmfi by the way, and CTGP-R) Everytime I try opening the CTGP game and pretty much every time I turn on my console an error message occurs a minute later, I even tried deleting CTGP-R and wimmfi and then Redownloading it but it wouldn’t load, what should I do? Plz tell me :\

[@AromaKitsune]

Any way to stop the stutter on Dolphin? It causes to desync and eventually disconnects with this cheat code on. My PC can handle games in 60FPS.

[@Shoyoumomo]

So does this code give us options to change how frequently items drop and what items drop? Or is it permanently random

[@MrBean35000vr]

It can be modified if you know what you are doing with it.

[@tnstan]

0:26 that star omg

[@mattypoko]

Please let this be a new mode...

[@CSharp__]

I'll try getting this when/if it comes to ctgp. LOOKS AWESOME.

[@kaizoisevil]

I have a question about WiiMmfi. Does it also keep records of people's time trials if people want to compete for world record?

[@gifzwerk]

Can't wait to play these!

[@Vadenimo]

One question: If this item is raining in CTGPR can one deactivate it also in the settings?

[@zachny]

I know you have said it on multiple occasions but I don’t know, why exactly can’t there be a ctgp for dolphin?

[@user-lv4ff2zd2z]

How did you activate ocr codes in a custom server (I don’t plan to use for evil trust me)

[@andreaspolichronopoulos6582]

MrBean I tried to load CTGP Revolution it wont work.Then I went to the internet channel but it wont take me to the page.Can you help me?

[@mastersam111]

Ever since I got this code and the new CTGP update with new tracks, I can't go on CTWW. What's going on?

[@mattkartwii1605]

does anyone have a code for the moon jump please? (Pressing B)

[@jd.1184]

I cant get enough of that music pack

[@Imora]

I Finaly Got Ctgp-r 1.03 in my wii mrbean No More Dolphin! Worth it! With the 216 custom tracks i got a lot to play! (Only wait the 7 day activation in my wii Thanks mrbean im from your streams i got a lot of time of not see your streams)

[@MrBean35000vr]

Ah yeah, I recognise your name. Enjoy CTGP!

[@Imora]

MrBean35000vr My Mkwii Disc Its From 2011 the same year i got my wii lol EDIT:I Never play online on my wii only in dolphin (my sd card got 2gb of space And No More Down FPS!)

[@johanklaver3237]

How do I play it online because there is only coumtdown and VS race

[@sounddiscovers7917]

we want to see more races !!! also some mods like this one but especially races

[@truegamer2097]

What's the plan on implementing this in online? What about offline multiplayer? Now that you've found hidden slots for the game, will you be able to put countdown as a local multiplayer option?

[@slaysxc]

Hey can anyone help me. I just booted up my Wii after about 3 years (I already had ctgp on riivolution). I booted riivolution up and my Wii remote wouldn't turn on so I couldn't launch, anyone know what's wrong?

[@thesidetrackers446]

Will this be added into online racing and maybe 2 player countdown?

[@affe3065]

Love ur videos

[@macrro]

What with split screen on super mario galaxy 2? Still on build you can give me link? Im dont care if is glitch

[@kriidus1668]

Will we be able to choose which items rain from the sky in a future update?

[@Gameboy-io5ub]

Hey Mrbean35000vr, Item rain is out now. But how do you set up a game to play item rain.

[@MatrazeUchiha]

Why am I not allowed to use my common.szs in CTWW?

[@Skull9999vr]

Hey MrBean, it's been 4 years maybe. I still have chadderz(?) In my load up screen. Where can I get the newest update?

[@MrBean35000vr]

See www.chadsoft.co.uk

[@petervella6973]

Can this also be used offline? I usually like to test my hacks offline before going online and using them.

[@Moist.Towels]

I always get kicked off online on MKWii and I don't know how to fix it! Can you please help me?

[@TasEvan]

Hey MrBean I got myself ban a couple years back from impersonating and hacking. I quit playing the game up until a couple days ago whenever I realized a lot of people still play the game. I can connect to wiimmfi but I'm unable to find other players, is there any way I could possibly be unbanned and work this out with you? or is there anyway im able fix this problem?

[@diamondempire404]

How do I play this mode online with ctgp ?

[@user-ol7wp7mi2i]

Nice Code!!

[@himselfj657]

0:27 that’s a rage

[@adamcullen22]

Will Wiimmfi work with other wii channels like usb loader or neo gamma or the wii system like talking to friends or other channels

[@MrBean35000vr]

It's always worked with those...

[@adamcullen22]

MrBean35000vr What about channels

[@lucentshadow]

Now this is the Mario Kart I'd want to play.

[@lorenzopaschina8072]

What is the start race brstm race name???

[@radarvillage]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5PQdZSVl6l9d5Y

[@lorenzopaschina8072]

sad panda thanks

[@dragonmaster5377]

So... How do we get this? And will this be put in as a mode in the next update?

[@VerdanaVideos]

Looks like German airships have crossed the border into the mushroom kingdom

[@icantthinkofaname5687]

is it possible for real item boxes to also rain down?

[@severitymkw]

Would anything bad happen if I used smash stack to get CTGP and use it now to get riivolution? What I’m saying is what would happen if I have two patchers at the same time

[@MrBean35000vr]

Shouldn't be an issue.

[@TheForgottenIce]

Tucker Personally I would use smash stack to install the homebrew channel, as that would make it a lot easier to install the other apps.

[@lake4303]

1 shock dodge + 1shock dodge + same race = mind blown

[@pixie3942]

Do you think wiimmfi will come to the wiiu? Because I love playing splatoon and custom online servers gives People the chance to balance the game out and hold custom splatfests, also I was interested in how it was even done

[@windoxa87]

If there's Internet channel for the vWii, then you are good.

[@djdjxcjcj]

Can you make a site on the Internet channel where you can get ctgp please

[@anonymous5074]

Could you imagine if the Blue Shell actually launched if you touch it? Man that would be so chaotic! (And fun)

[@JamesNyquist15]

Mr Bean are you going to put custom missions in CTGP

[@Gestersmek]

So this is hell... what a sight.

[@K.Vasileiou04]

Can we have it for dolphin? Please?

[@NmMindstorm]

Because the game can slow down a bit in item rain, try replacing the modeled items with items that have fewer polygons, or just sprites. You could also lower the resolution of the textures even more. Maybe make item rain for wii u only or decrease the radius of track that the game loads into cache. Also Id like to see shells that you throw when you run into them

[@TotiTotiToti]

Do you plan on releasing a custom music pack?

[@amanguver]

Mr Bean what is the region number on Wiimmfi so I can see when someone is playing in it?

[@MrBean35000vr]

vx_12. bx_12 is also available for battles.

[@amanguver]

MrBean35000vr Thanks!

[@aidansmachines]

MrBean35000vr To download CTGP with return of the jodi can I use a 1 gigabyte sd card?

[@locosiap4184]

this is amazing

[@ruru-ye5yz]

Can you replace offline battle mode with this?

[@TakodaTGL]

well theres so much codes like wtf do i do lol help me pls or il just w8 till its added as a update

[@sangokudbz79]

Would it be possible to consider adding online item rain lobbies? (as opposed to only private rooms) That'd be so cool!

[@xnether3621]

Is this coming to ctgp cus that would be great

[@marlind4462]

Hahahha it was rlly fun watching this video and playing mkw onlline waht ever rlly cool video soo amazing😆

[@supergamerkarter317]

Ironicly I did a level in Súper mario maker called "Mushroom rain" in which lakitus threw you loads of shrooms of different people but since it wasn't very popular it got off the internet All before this update

[@kaidyer8761]

Ok i have a good question like after its been a week do u just go to the website again or mario kart Ps nice video

[@zaydsnaynay6736]

How did you do the falling items hack

[@mknate0542]

kind of like mk8d online

[@kylelebre5854]

Hi MrBean, would this work for local splitscreen?

[@MrBean35000vr]

Yes.

[@maritoguionyo]

How do you think a ban for using the Item Rain code Online will last 🤔 ? If you where able to bypass the (rk=vx) ban of course

[@MrBean35000vr]

Same as a standard item cheat ban.

[@marioaguilar3343]

Ok

[@zachny]

If you do add it to ctgp maybe could you make a non ranked mode without vr penalties?
