How to Report Cheating in Mario Kart Wii WFC

Ever since the release of its first installment in 1992, players all over the world have enjoyed the Mario Kart racing series. Two versions released for the Nintendo DS in 2005 and for the Nintendo Wii in 2008 feature competitive online play. Unfortunately, hacking and cheating is rampant in Mario Kart online, making it difficult for the average player to succeed. Despite the fact that there is no permanent way for Nintendo to ban cheaters, players can do a few things to help the situation.

Instructions

- 1
  Identify cheaters early on in the game, if possible. Cheaters often have absurd win and loss records, i.e. 100 wins and no losses. They usually will have hacked the game to give them use of unlimited items. For example, if you are hit with a blue shell early in the race and no one has had time to even reach the first item box, you're probably dealing with a cheater.
- 2
  Quit out of matches against cheaters. If you're able to identify a cheater before the match starts by looking at his win/loss record, then quit out before the match starts. If you quit out before the match starts you won't receive a loss. If the match has already started, quit out anyway. Attempting to race against cheaters at all rewards their behavior.

  Report the problem to Nintendo. Although there isn't any official way to deal with cheating in Mario Kart, i.e. by banning the hackers, the Nintendo Tech Support Forum suggests that you fill out an online customer service form so Nintendo can investigate. Fill out all the pertinent information that you can remember about the match such as method of cheating and the player's name. A link to the form is available in the Resources section.
