I'm looking for Mario Kart Wii's first special ghost, distributed (exclusively?) to Japanese Wiis back in 2008.

Using the Cheep Charger is key in this case, as it's the vehicle that grows the most when in a Mega Mushroom (2.7, as defined in Race/Common.szs/kartParam.bin).
I previously talked about the differences in aspect ratio during races here: xitter.cf/B_squo/status/15048786…

In Mario Kart Wii, several course textures have strings of seemingly arbitrary numbers in their filenames, as shown below.
Interpreting these as dates in Japan's YY-MM-DD format reveals a timeline spanning August 2006 to November 2007, fitting the game's development timeline.
The second image shows all the textures that follow this pattern, and the dates they would represent when interpreted as dates (alt: pastes.io/Ju4FNqk6).
Note that this interpretation is speculative, and there's no way to tell for certain if these numbers are actually dates.
In Mario Kart Wii, Funky Stadium's minimap has a slight visual mistake (circled in red) in which a polygon is shaded in a darker tone than the rest of the model.
It is a bit hard to notice at first due to the low resolution, so some higher quality images are provided below

Besides, players can force specific courses for StreetPass GPs, meaning that they can force the shortest tracks to be selected, speeding up the process
The only exception to this rule occurs with the golden parts. Those cannot be unlocked by racing against StreetPass Miis.

- You can try this for yourself by using this custom save file, which inserts 13 StreetPass Miis, each with at least one of the unlockable parts (barely tested in the European v1.2 version): drive.google.com/file/d/1Yv_…
