Mario Kart Wii’s Lost Tournament Mode - What Happened to It? #wii #mariokartwii #lostmedia #nintendo

Ever pressed the “Tournament” button in Mario Kart Wii only to get an error? That button used to open one of the game’s coolest, most forgotten modes. Back when Nintendo’s Wii servers were live, Mario Kart Wii featured monthly online tournaments—limited-time challenges where players competed in modified tracks, gate courses, coin runs, and even boss battles! There were 47 unique tournaments, including an exclusive arena called Galaxy Colosseum, now completely lost unless you homebrew your console. In this video, we dive into what made Mario Kart Wii Tournaments special, why they disappeared, and how they made the game feel truly alive.
