Someone figured out to hack Mario Kart Wii (I believe they used the Twilight Princess softmod hack), and I've actually seen it happen a few times.

1) A few days ago, I was playing Battle online, and one guy had constant star power. I thought "Maybe it's a weird glitch", but as I later found out, I was wrong.

2) Earlier today, I hit a guy with a bomb, he flew into the air, his character blinked for a few seconds (indicating that he had been hit), but no coins came out. I ran over him later with the Big Mushroom (twice), same thing.

3) Not 5 minutes ago, my girlfriend was in a match with a guy who could keep sending Blue Shell after Blue Shell.

Here's a video of exactly what happened to my GF, for proof (not me recording, just found it online):

I didn't catch the name of the first guy, because I wasn't sure if it was a cheat or not, but here are the other 2 guys who I've caught cheating:

WiiDudes.c

Neve

I recommend not playing them if you see them online.

It's destroying MKWii for me, which sucks because it's my favorite online Wii game.

Anyway, have any of you noticed this happening? Also, have you contacted Nintendo to see what they say?

I haven't noticed, I don't play it often, besides playing with you -- That sucks though.

That blue shell thing is really dumb. If only their was a mic.. I'd mic spam and embarrass those guys non stop -- "So I see you suck at this game, so you've resorted to hacking. Your maddddd cause you cant playyyy"

It sounds lame, but trust me, It would be funny..

Ive seen the hacks before and I agree there ruining the game. They probably hack because they have no real skill.

Most likely. I know that they can use the hack in the Grand Prix races, so I'm sure they figured that one out too.

No, they probably wont, but thay might when people stop buying there game because they hear hackers are ruining it. Even then they still probably wont do anything about it.

The funny thing is that some people might think that i am a hacker.

We have a cordless phone in our house (as well as corded phones) and everytime the phone rings it makes my internet connection not work (it has something to do with the cordless phone) so it disconnets me, and automatically makes me come in first, so i get plus points.

The thing is i dont know if the other people im racing see me as coming in first when this happens.

Also it does not work everysingle time the phone rings only random. and i do not use this to cheat and win, i only got my brother to phone the house from his cellphone once or twice

This is one reason I stopped playing my DS games online, it's even more annoying to hear that they did this to Mario Kart Wii now... People really know how to take the fun outta playing online these days...

You'd really think that Nintendo would be able to implement some server side code to stop these kind of things from happening. Especially since they're ultra-concerned about online play with friend codes etc.

:cry:Hackers just take the fun out of the game and makes you not go online and play anymore, well thats what It felt to me when I was playing online with some hackers, but if you have great skilles in games than sometimes you can overcome those hackers and beat then, it feels good to win when you know that your opponent was cheating and somehow you manage to win.:twisted:

I've only had it once on Brawl, every time someone got a final smash and started 'glowing' (like you do when you get a smash ball) player 4 executed their final smash. It happened 3 times on the same match, player 4 always got the smash when other players would obtain the ball. There is no other explanation for this other than a hacker. Especially considering player 4 just stood still at the side of the arena and only got kills with their final smash.

I stopped playing MKWii altogether about 6 weeks ago, there was hacking then. I can only imagine it will get worse.

Yeah, I have noticed what your talking about. Me and my girlfriend played a few rounds online this morning. We noticed before we even started because we had to watch the LIVE match before we joined and I noticed that a guy with the name "hackers rus" ( neither bit obvious ) was using Star Power and Blue Shells over and over again. My girlfriend scored 2nd place but should have taken 1st and was ruined because of this guy. The thing is he also has a "music note" at the end of his name so if anyone sees him, don't play the game because your going to have one hell of a time trying to win against a cheater like that.

This is another example where you can see the benefits from using Friend Codes. You don't NEED to play with that kind of crap, because even if share your FC you can always erase a user who cheats
