# What is Retro Rewind?
|
|
|
|
[Retro Rewind](https://discord.gg/UxHmgNdPxw) is a Mario Kart Wii custom track distribution that features ***every retro track*** from Super Mario Kart to Mario Kart 7, as well as some from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart Tour, totaling 152. Retro Rewind can be played online in public rooms with Dolphin Emulator, a Wii or WiiU.
|
|
|
|
It also features many [enhancements](https://ibb.co/RCckmdT) such as:
|
|
|
|
* Max VR has been increased from 9999 to 30000.
|
|
* Thunderclouds are now [Mega Clouds](https://i.imgur.com/8H54rGH.mp4), which give Mega Mushrooms, rather than shrinking.
|
|
* Added (optional) inside drift to all vehicles, meaning more of them are competitive.
|
|
* Outside drift bikes have an extra level of mini turbo, and karts have three levels, similar to MK8DX.
|
|
* Vehicles can brake while drifting, making all tracks playable, and more vehicles viable.
|
|
* Ability to change or randomize vehicle/character combo between races.
|
|
* Significantly faster menu animations and load times between races.
|
|
* Unpopular modes like 100cc and mirror have been removed from online.

# PC Setup Guide
|
|
|
|
1. Download Mario Kart Wii, or [dump your disc](https://youtu.be/36nNq49tfSM).
|
|
1. Download [Dolphin](https://dolphin-emu.org/download/) and [extract it](https://fmhy.net/file-tools#file-archivers).
|
|
1. Open Dolphins controller tab, set the [gamecube port](https://i.ibb.co/jTGZdKx/image.png) to your main controller, and the [emulated wiimote](https://i.ibb.co/wYk0R4L/image.png) to your mouse.
|
|
1. Download [WheelWizard](https://github.com/patchzyy/WheelWizard/releases), go to settings, [set the paths](https://ibb.co/WHqWgcb), click save, select home, run the installer.
|
|
1. Go back to settings, select "Launch Mii channel," create a Mii to use for your license, and that's it, you can now launch and play Retro Rewind!
|
|
|
|
**Note** - WheelWizard can be slow, especially if you're installing RR for the first time, so it may be worth doing [manually](https://youtu.be/ZiQ7WAOlJOk) instead to speed up the process. To use a real gamecube controller on PC you'll need an [adapter](https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/how-use-official-gc-controller-adapter-wii-u/).

# Things to Note
|
|
|
|
* You need to turn on things like inside drift, fast menus, and finishing times in the Retro Rewind settings.
|
|
|
|
* Retro Rewind uses a modified version of WiiLink, meaning it does NOT require a NAND to play online with Dolphin.
|
|
|
|
* If you don't know anything about Mario Kart Wii, or why it has a cult following 16 years after its release, I'd suggest checking out [TWD98](https://www.youtube.com/@TWD98). Troy plays a lot, so its a good way to learn about the game and improve.
