Mario Kart Wii - unexplained wierdness

[Acey]

So yesterday at 1:00 pm Pacific Standard Time I was playing Markio Kart Wii on the Wii Network. It's not very busy on a weekday after noon and eventually I was even just 1 on 1. Then the wierdest thing happened. A new user joined in called Mrs. Uh-Oh. This user has 9,999 points (which is the maximum, I was only arounf 6,200 at the time.) Every match this user was able to spam many different kinds of projectiles. The first time it happened it was just a slew of green shells, like 20 in a row. I was just driving down a Sherbert tunnell and all the shells started coming at me. Later it was red shells, sometimes just tones of bombs, even blues shells. This user could apparently use the Bullet to get ahead whenever and there was even a time when I was literally right behind their parked kart and got pegged with 10 green shells in a row with no chance of recovery. Over time more people joined in the races. In every race Mrs. Uh-Oh would never pass the finishline to win the race, it was left to the rest of us to win the races, and since all of us were less than 9,999 points we all gained points every time. And each time Mrs. Uh-Oh would lose a tons of points for losing but at the beginning of each next race Mrs. Uh-Oh was back up to 9,999 points again.

Though this entire ordeal I gained about 700 points (amazing). I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen something like this or knows what's going on?

He probably modded his Wii.

Weird, something similar happened to me.
Anyways.
If you don't mind Acey, sometime I'd like to set-up a race with you.

I'm guessing he somehow hacked the game.

Simple answer, Homebrew Channel + USB Gecko downloaded, which the person modified values in a code to have a specific item, such as pressing a certain button to gain an item that they applied it to. Such can be pressing up and A to get a Golden Mushroom or a Bullet Bill. I played MKWii the other day too and saw a lot of hacking, same with tournaments that Nintendo holds.

I hope Nintendo does the same thing Microsoft did and bans all the users from Internet acess that have modded there Wii.

Well, they have been trying to get rid of it by patching with updates, but there's always a bypass to it that's created. The newer Wiis however, cannot have anything done from what I've heard.

You refer to the LU64 marked Wii`s. Those already have hacks added and it`s even possible to add Trucha Bug on it aswell. What you CANT do on those Wii`s however, is Downgrade em.

I've heard of stuff like this before. People who play like this totally ruin the game.

exactly and fighting piracy and hacking is just dumb hacking is working around security. hackers are good at workarounds thats what they do. build a moat the build a boat you build a wall they build a ladder. and piracy is a machine that once it gets started it doesnt stop look at the music industry, look at home movie sales, and now games its just one of the side effects of the internet unlimited acces to digital content means just that.
