Mario Kart channel

[QueenVictoria]

Is the Mario Kart Channel good for anything? I'm looking at the channels and I realise I never use this one. When I click on it all it ever says it to insert the disk. Am I missing something?

It tells you to enter the disk Only asks me to do that if i want to start something that requires the disc otherwise i can browse the channel without the disc.

I really only used the channel to access the tournaments/challenges that Nintendo set up.

The game has the option of installing the "Mario Kart Channel" that requires, depending on region and content, between 74 and 86 blocks to the Wii Menu, which presents the current regional and worldwide rankings, and the option of sending or downloading saved time trials (ghosts) using WiiConnect24. Mario Kart Channel also offers worldwide tournaments from Nintendo. The channel enables users to check if any members of their Friend roster are currently online, and to participate in a race or battle with them.

Thanks for that Burnout. That helps.

I could see how that would be handy way to see if your friends were online, and then if they were you could pop the disk in and get ready to play. I don't have any MK friends (I was too shy when the game came out to ask anyone on here to play.) And 74 - 86 blocks sounds like a lot of space for a channel I don't use, so thanks for letting me know what it's for.

Just be glad it's optional
