* WritingAroundTrademarks: The tracks originally from ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'' all use different names to avoid potential legal issues. For example; Bowser's Castle is called "Bowser's Fiery Fortress", and Shy Guy Bazaar is called "Shy Guy's Market".

* '''[[WeirdWeather Item Rain]]''': Items rain down from the sky. What will you get?

News about the Mod's development can be followed with the [[https://twitter.com/ctgpupdates CTGP Updates]] account (officially endorsed by the makers, ran by a fan). [=Bean=] and Chadderz frequently stream CTGP updates and gameplay [[https://www.twitch.tv/mrbean35000vr on Twitch too]].

Tropes specific [[VideoGame/MarioKartWii to the base game]] are best left on that page.

** Many tracks are directly imported from past game entries, but others are from entirely different game franchises: [[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing CTR N. Gin Labs]] and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure SADX Twinkle Circuit]], for example.

* '''24 Player Mode''': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin; 24 players are pitted against one another in one lobby. Currently in invite-only closed beta, with Twitch Subscribers only being given access.

* CopyProtection: The installation process is designed to not work on ''Mario Kart Wii'' outside of an actual console, preventing it from being emulated. However, this is less to prevent unauthorized distribution and more to protect against cheaters online.

* WritingAroundTrademarks: The tracks originally from ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'' all use different names. For example; Bowser's Castle is called "Bowser's Fiery Fortress", and Shy Guy Bazaar is called "Shy Guy's Market".

* WritingAroundTrademarks: The tracks originally from ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'' all use different names. For example; Bowser's Castle is called "Bowser's Fiery Fortress", and Shy Guy Bazaar is called "Shy Guy's Market". This also applies to the tracks taken from ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''.

[[folder:Games Modes included in CTGP]]

Released as a sequel to the Riivolution-based [=CTGP=] pack, it is complete with custom game modes. It contains the aforementioned custom tracks, and the ability to play online and LAN via Wimmfi, a custom server to connect to other Wii consoles, even after Nintendo's [=WFC=] shut down. It comes with the "Ignorance is Bliss" anti-cheat, to prevent online cheaters, and for the same reasoning, the mod is also not open source, although [=CTGP-R's=] predecessor is.

Possibly the most famous and ambitious mod pack on the Wii bar none; [[https://chadsoft.co.uk/ CTGP Revolution]] (CTGP-R for short) is a GameMod for ''VideoGame/MarioKartWii'' by "[=MrBean35000vr=]" and "Chadderz" who curate and packs in several hundred custom tracks over 50 new cups from [[https://www.chadsoft.co.uk/credits.html hundreds of dedicated fans]] that are not present in the original copy of Mario Kart Wii. Released as a sequel to the Riivolution-based [=CTGP=] pack, it is complete with custom game modes. It contains the aforementioned custom tracks, and the ability to play online and LAN via Wimmfi, a custom server to connect to other Wii consoles, even after Nintendo's [=WFC=] shut down.

* ShoutOut: Many tracks are directly imported from past game entries, but others are from entirely different game franchises: [[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing CTR N. Gin Labs]] and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure SADX Twinkle Circuit]], for example.

* TheCameo: '''So Many'''. There's a good chance you could randomly pick a custom track, and some previous Mario Character would be in there somewhere on a billboard or in-game banner ad.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Same as the vanilla game, and much more merciless than before on [=200CC=].
* DistinctionWithoutADifference: To prevent legal issues, the names of the tracks originally from ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'' all use different names. For example; Bowser's Castle is called "Bowser's Fiery Fortress", and Shy Guy Bazaar is called "Shy Guy's Market".
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: [=SADX=] Twinkle Circuit usually uses the music used for Galaxy Colosseum (which was exclusive to the tournaments in the base game). However due to how the game handles track sorting, the final lap music isn't a sped up version of its music, instead being the music for being victorious at the end of a cup, leading to a lot of SoundtrackDissonance on your final lap.
* ForestOfPerpetualAutumn: Autumn Leavesway has this as the tracks' theme, essentially looking like an expanded Maple Treeway.
* FourSeasonsLevel: The appropriately named (and now removed) "Seasonal Circuit", which has you drive through Spring to Winter.

* HarderThanHard: 200CC on custom tracks are quite a bit harder, in part due to the often confusing layouts, but other times due to the AI being extremely good.
* LethalLavaLand: This mod adds a few tracks with this setting, most notably most of the Bowser's Castles from ''VideoGame/MarioKartSuperCircuit'', and many more custom tracks beside.

* TheBusCameBack: The mod itself has no new characters, but it does allow for custom files, so if one were prepared enough, they could install any number of custom characters.

* GuestFighter: As mentioned with TheBusCameBack, the mod allows you to import [=SZS=] files that contain custom characters, including ones from past games.

* MindScrew: Many track layouts, such as Aquadrom Stage and Incendia Castle are very confusing to navigate, especially the latter as it funnels you through three seperate chambers to the outside on every lap.

* BootstrappedTheme: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4K_tYVtnFU "Fleeting Ecstacy"]], a remix of the Invincible tune in Super Mario 64 is used on the CTGP Channels' menu, and thus is known as the "CTGP theme" more than anything.
* BigBoosHaunt: Haunted Gardens, Spectral Station, N64 Banshee Boardwalk, Unnamed Valley, just to name a few.

* DistinctionWithoutADifference: To prevent legal issues, the names of later-released tracks in the ''Mario Kart'' series, all use different names. For example; 3DS Bowsers Castle is called "Bowsers Fiery Fortress", and 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar is called "Shy Guys' Market".
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: [=SADX=] Twinkle Circuit usually uses the DummiedOut music for one of the battles in the Wii contests. However due to how the game handles track sorting, the developer of the track didn't account for the final lap music, and thus it uses the music for being victorious at the end of a cup, leading to a lot of musical dissonance on your final lap.

* GameBreakingBug: Wimmfi actively enforces several bug fixes for official tracks when [=CTGP-R=] is active, so certain ultra-shortcuts do not work on [=CTGP-R's=] online multiplayer.

* ShiftingSandLand: DS Desert Hills and Spike Desert, to name a few.
* ShoutOut: Many tracks are directly imported from past game entries, but others are from entirely different game franchises: [[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing CTR N. Gine Labs]] and [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure SADX Twinkle Circuit]], for example.

* '''Item Rain''': Items rain down from the sky. What will you get?

* FourSeasonsLevel: The appropriately named "Seasonal Circuit", which has you drive through Spring to Winter.

* ForestOfPerpetualAutumn: Autumn Leavesway has this as the tracks' theme.

* GameBreakingBug: The mod pack actively enforces several bug fixes via the server, so certain ultra-shortcuts do not work on [=CTGP=].
