Plus, interestingly enough, instead of using one of the game's standard vehicles, the mod also adds a unique automobile that pays homage to the Kirby series, with the character driving a yellow star kart. Of course, no matter what the product, there's always room for improvement, as the modder and Twitter user SmashingRenders realized that the Wii U version of game stands to be even better if Kirby were a playable character, so he decided to add everyone's favorite pink puffball in as a racer in the place of Koopa Troopa.Īs seen below in the video from Reyes Rosas' YouTube channel, Kirby most definitely holds his own on the race track in Mario Kart 8, as he overtakes opponents with ease on the Sweet Sweet Canyon track, ultimately placing 3rd overall in the contest. While the Wii U and the 3DS have so far resisted hacking to a large degree, back in April 2013 the group responsible for the first Wii mod chip claimed to have hacked the Wii U so it could play copied games.Not too long ago, it was revealed that sales of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe helped make the Nintendo franchise as a whole the best-selling racing game series of all-time in America, with the latest sequel providing fans with a near-perfect representation of everything that makes the brand enjoyable. "We're deliberately outdated, yeah, in order to keep the exploit running," MrBean35000vr replied when asked about this. Relax and enjoy what we come up with."Īccording to a FAQ on, the exploit does not work with firmware 5.0.0. Our goal is to make game mods custom tracks, etc.
"We're not going to be encouraging cheating with this and won't let our work be used for it. "None of this is in any state to be released at present, and it's unlikely that we ever will in the interest of preventing cheaters. "Very very basic stuff, more of a proof of concept rather than anything else," MrBean35000vr said, describing the video. MrBean35000vr has been fighting those fires, however, insisting the group is not in the modding game to enable cheating. The video has had a number of comments from angry YouTube users, who accuse the hackers of damaging Nintendo and Mario Kart 8 with their work.
The modding is based on a recently-released browser exploit as well as additional code that allows the Wii U browser to edit Mario Kart 8's memory on the fly.
The video, below, published to YouTube by MrBean35000vr, shows Mario Kart 8 running with changed music, track titles and menu fonts. A group of hackers have modded Wii U racing game Mario Kart 8.
