This might be old news for some, but anyone who hasn't checked out this game should have a look. It's a mod of MarioKart (obviously), and it's pretty awesome.
It's floating around the torrent sites for anyone who's interested.
I had never heard of it until today and just thought others might also find it cool.
BTW, if anyone knows of any other games that have been modded like this please let me know so I can check them out too.

FAQ:
Q: Okay so how do I use this?
A: Just download it and burn it, or copy to your USB/SD storage device of choice. It should work either way.
Q: Can I play this online?
A: Yes, except the two custom courses. They can only be played online with other people who also have a copy of those courses (aka other people who have also downloaded this mod). This is because the texture hacked courses are structurally the exact same as the original ones, so it makes no difference when playing others.
Q: What will other people see when they play me online?
A: Other people won't notice any difference. Their game is not modified, so it will look the same as always.
Q: What about my other copy of Mario KartWii?
A: I've changed the titleID for this game from RCME01 to KMKE01 so you can hold both your original and your modded copy of Mario Kart on the same drive and they won't interfere with one another.
Q: The characters look the same to me. Where are these custom characters?
A: When you choose the character from the list above and the specific vehicle listed beside it, when you race with that character on a course, you'll see the changes!
Q: What's this "Ultimate License Unlocker" text file you've included?
A: That's an ocarina code to unlock every course, character, and give you a 3 star ranking if you don't want to bother playing through the game to access all of my customized stuff. If you don't know how to use Ocarina, google is your friend.

KNOWN GLITCHES:
There are a few things I just didn't have time to fix:
- The final lap music for NGC DK Mountain is cut off, probably because my patching program is referencing the wrong address. I'll fix it in a later release maybe.
- The last lap of Waluigi Stadium plays the music for the last lap of NGC DK Mountain
- 6 tracks use a special "STRM" format audio file with multiple layers for the indoor and outdoor sections of the course. My audio tracks play during the outdoor portion, but I don't know how to make them play during the indoor sections, so all you get is silence. This will happen on the following courses: Toad's Factory, Wario's Gold Mine, Koopa Kape, Dry Dry Ruins, Moonview Highway, and Bowser's Castle.
