I just stumble across this:

KarPad. Mario Kart Wii and Retro Rewind, native for Android, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

From the GitHub page:
Native static recompilation through Vulkan on Android and Metal on Apple platforms, with touch controls, motion steering, controllers, and optional Retro Rewind content. tvOS is currently an experimental preview.​


KartPad builds on WiiCompiled, theoriginal Mario Kart Wii static recompilation project created bypatchzyy. WiiCompiled provides the foundationaltranslator and runtime; KartPad maintains the Apple and Android integration,native controls, game chooser, game-data management, packaging, and releases.The projects are independently maintained.

I tried on a old Redmi Note 11 (Snapdragon 680 + 4GiB of RAM with crDroid) and it works well.

(The performance is not great on this machine (since it was a mid-low end device in 2022), in fact running Mario Kart Wii on Dolphin runs @ 60fps on it, and this re-compilation runs between 30 to 40 fps.
I expect this runs way better on a mid range, or better, machine)

Its really nice to see this recomp projects for other platforms like Android.
