This is a major mod for New Super Mario Bros. Wii that adds a collection of new features to the game alongside the base game's content. This is similar to my gecko codes collection, but for much larger changes that don't fit into a few hundred lines of text. Every feature is consolidated into one big Riivolution pack; individual features can be disabled in the Riivolution configuration menu.
This is still in development, so many of the specified features may not function properly. Features that exist in some capacity include:
- Expanded player count of up to 8 players, using 4 Wii Remotes and 4 GameCube controllers.
- Death messages.
- Singleplayer Free-for-all and Coin Battle, for the lonely people out there.
And more planned for the future, once the current features are stable enough!
Download the latest build here, or go to the releases tab to see every version.
If using a real Wii, extract the ZIP file to the root of your SD Card or USB storage device, merging the 'riivolution' folder if it already exists, and install Riivolution.
If using Dolphin, extract the ZIP file to [Dolphin User Folder]/Load/Riivolution. You can open the
User Folder from Dolphin via File > Open User Folder. After that, right click on NSMBW in the game
list and click Start with Riivolution Patches....
Make sure to enable Core (Required) under the mkwcat section in Riivolution, as it's required for all
features to work. Please disable everything in every other section, as the mod makes plenty of changes and
is likely incompatible with any other mods you have enabled.
