This is how to play Mario Kart Wii online in 2025 without needing a Wii NAND. It lets you play custom tracks, retro tracks, the normal tracks, have an input display, play online time trials, play private games with friends, and more from the comfort of your PC for FREE (assuming that you have the game).
EDIT: Regular Worldwide is the most popular mode as it's used in all packs that use RetroWFC so if you're struggling to find a game you can try that (but it will only have the default 32 Nintendo tracks).
Dolphin: dolphin-emu.org
Optpack (OTHER mod with online support but has TONS of more custom tracks with less overall bonus features [like input display]): wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/OptPack
Retro Rewind: wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Retro_Rewind
