Mario Kart Wii - Unused/Beta Mission Mode - All gameplay modes and new discoveries!

More information and discoveries regarding the unused beta Mission Mode in Mario Kart Wii!
In this video, I show off all of the known gameplay modes, regardless of how functional they are or not (with the exception of mode 7, since that mode genuinely doesn't appear to do anything). This includes some custom missions built specifically for the occasion! I also show off the Mission Mode button for the single player menu, some findings about the tutorial screen and talk about some other discoveries that have been made!
Special thanks to Atlas, Wexos and Chadderz for various bits and pieces and findings!
If you missed the memo, just over two weeks ago, a bunch of hidden data and menu screens were discovered by me in Mario Kart Wii, that pointed to the existence of a Mission Mode, very similar to that of Mario Kart DS, and also similar (but not the same) to the Tournament/Competition Mode that Mario Kart Wii ultimately got. This video is exploring more of this unknown mode, and there is another video about the initial discovery of the mode that can be found by clicking here:
• Unused/Beta Mission Mo...
At this point, it is now possible to access the unused interface, and I have also released documentation on the mode, which is important for anyone wanting to access and play it. All the information required is available here:
wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Mission_...
The setup I have made is specifically designed to add Mission Mode without removing functionality from Mario Kart Wii, thus it is designed to be appropriate for someone who was wanting to add the mode to a custom track distribution, for instance. Though it's worth noting that I haven't even tried to fix the leaderboards, and that seems to come with its own set of issues (overwrites competition/tournament leaderboards). So it is probably worth holding off on implementing a full mode until everything is better understood.
And thank you very much for reading and watching! I am hoping to maybe release some custom missions/videos about them at some point soon as well. And yes, I am considering adding Mission Mode to CTGP when it is tidied up. Watch this space!

[@MrBean35000vr]

To everyone who's asking whether or not I'll add it to CTGP: Did you read the description? :P And can I also just say that the reaction to the discovery of Mission Mode has been amazing so far? I'm so surprised so many people are interested in it! And I'm glad, too :)

[@johnw7707]

Kind of disappointing that this never made it into the game. Do you think Nintendo worked on this and then changed it into tournaments?

[@MrBean35000vr]

That's exactly what I think happened.

[@MrBean35000vr]

Yes, although that's something I only learned recently too, the British English translation of Mario Kart Wii only has "Start?" instead. So I only first learned that it's specifically for tournament mode after I saw a video of Mission Mode running on the American build of the game.

[@MrBean35000vr]

Yes, that is the advantage of having an offline only mode, indeed.

[@hahaae321]

[@thegreatautismo224]

The drift and wheelie things are probably time-based. You have to spend a certain amount of time drifting/doing wheelies.

It's likely also counting milliseconds but was probably meant to only display seconds.

That does make sense why it's counting up so fast now that I think of it. Also explains why there's a drifting mission that counts up the same way.

Amazing work Bean, Chadderz, Atlas, Wexos, and everyone else involved in the developments of reestablishing the long lost Mission Mode. It's amazing how even 9 years on, there's still stuff to discover in this game. And what's even more amazing is that 9 years on there's still an active, interested community for this game. Great work as always, and thanks for sharing your findings.

This is actually really cool. I always feel bad when I ask a lot of people, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that a working mission mode in CTGP would be awesome (even if glitchy). Either way, you sir, deserve some reward or prize. You have pushed MKWII to a new level.

[@MegaShrooom]

Absolutely fascinating! It's so incredible to think that this hidden gem has been untouched for so long in a game modded so heavily. Great discovery and work, very interested to see where this goes, many of these missions actually look really fun (item box and sniping, particularly).

[@supermariohack3218]

Well, didn't expect this day to end (or start) on such a high note.

[@underFlorence]

The timer that rises up super fast may have been intended to measure a total amount of time spent drifting/wheelie-ing as opposed to the raw number of drifts/wheelies. After all, one can wheelie a bunch of times with little effort but trying to keep up wheelies for most of the race could be more difficult.

[@ITxMik]

Damn, it’s so cool to discover this after 9 years!

[@Major_Mason]

Mario Kart Wii is the Mario Kart I played the hell out of back in the day. This gives it more life :D Also, Im guessing that drifting mission on Delfino Pier is like a Roulette style drift where the number is deliberately scrambled.

Amazing how this game is almost 10 years old but so much is still being found in this game

[@Iyonable12]

This would have been so cool to have in the game, especially for beginners or casual players! When I first started playing, I didn't want to do online tournaments because I just assumed that everybody would be pros and there'd be no way I could keep up. Didn't even know about tricks or respawn boost until years later and eventually started playing online from there. But something like this would've got me into MKWii and the online community much faster!

[@allididwaspressa5149]

As someone who has played Mario Kart Wii for years, it blows my mind that there's more unseen fully coded content that still lies within the game files. Especially the Dry Bowser that was seen in the video.

Hi Bean, In ctgp when connecting to wiimfi I get the error code 20100. How to solve it? Thanks

[@MrBean35000vr]

It could mean one of two things: Either your Wii Internet isn't set up correctly, or you didn't verify with our server at startup (it would say "Note: CTWW is disabled" when you click Launch Game if you haven't). Either fix the Internet connection, or set Automatic Updates to On or Verify Only and don't skip it, to sort the problem.

I loved mission mode in Mario kart ds! I remember sitting on the couch and defeating the first boss over and over lol.

[@Tredenix]

11:00 I noticed this in the last video, but both of these missions that force you to use a certain drift mode have the description for the _other_ one in the bottom-right corner. It seems plausible that this might be related to these two missions having the wrong drift mode for the task it's getting you to perform. Might the buttons have been swapped somehow?

[@MrBean35000vr]

Nah. The text is just that of the last drift button you highlighted before viewing the menu.

Mission Mode was probably scrapped in favor of the Tournament Mode. Still, it's nice to see what you can do with the game. I wonder if a Giant Wiggler race in Moo Moo Meadows would be possible.

[@thegreatautismo224]

The missing gamemode was probably doing tricks

[@CLF78]

Does minigame.kmg (in common.szs) have anything to do with this ? Atlas told me that it has something to do with the unused minigame mode so i was wondering if these things were related...

[@MrBean35000vr]

Probably. Not checked it out quite yet!

[@GeoffreyFrogeye]

While the drifting and wheelie mission code are broken, I think they're rather close to be complete (I'd say you just need to check if the player was already drifting/wheeling on the last frame and increment the counter only they weren't). It looks like the developper said "Ok, I figured out the hard part, now I can show to my boss that it works, time to move on on something else". The fact that going past the counter doesn't trigger the mission finish event seems to reinforce this idea (or did you remove it on purpose?). I guess it's the same thing for the movies : "Okay, I can now assign movies to the different missions, we'll figure out how to place them later". It's interesting to see that the mission mode probably got replaced by the tournament mode, so the marketing deptartment could say "Hey, we're still adding content to the game, go play it!" while everything was planned from even before the game was released, as the similarities between the missions and the tournaments capabilities seems to indicate.

[@G_U_STHEBESTE]

These modes would actually be pretty fun.
