Version 0.1.8 of Mario Kart Wii - Service Pack has been released. It’s a minor release containing various bugfixes and improvements listed below. It can be installed from the in-game updater or downloaded from here.

Sound

  • Multiple BRSTMs are now supported for a single track. To use that feature, create a folder with the name of the original file in your My Stuff folder, and put your BRSTMs in it (with any name). They will be selected at random. If you use the same name for an _F BRSTM as an _N one, it will be automatically picked. [stebler]
