Misc MK Wii Time Attack exploit/cheat

[DiNo29]

Hey

Go check out the rankings for any track, something just happened

.

All best times got like three times better. and all the first ranked have exactly the same times ! And they all play with wii wheel with Mario in Royal Kart.

I downloaded two world champions ghost, DS Yoshi Falls and Shy Guy Beach, to see how they did that and .... WTF Oo

They are doing only one lap ! They don't use super start or drifting, they just plainly race to the finish, doing a not so good lap time and that's it, their race end at the first lap (and the game tell you your 99 minutes behind if you finish a lap against their ghost). Tried to do the same thing, to understand, and it doesnt work.

So, here it is, online rankings screwed already because of some cheat (probably, that much players couldn't do EXACTLY the same time, with a 0.001 second precision)

sob :'(

yep is saw it too,
I was checking how i compared to the best and i like wtf. Ooh 3 cheaters

 

[Hardcore Gamer]

Heh, they've found a bug already. I've just watched their lap on moo moo meadows and mario circuit. They do a lap and as soon as they finish the first lap, they stop and do a U-turn and just stop. This somehow messes everything up and they end up timing out and keeping the first lap as an overall time.

If this can't be fixed then online rankings is gone. Day one fuck ups.

 

[Mailenste]

Yeah, I was continental 2nd (Tommy) at moo moo meadows and now... Fuck you, bastards...

[legendofninny]

yep those 3 are top3 on every track. PLayer, Geo Burns and Mikachu I hate you

 

[DiNo29]

What it strange is that it's three times the exact same time.
If it's part of the trick, nintendo ban this time (which is impossible to do anyway) for each track and that's it.
But I didn't know it was the same three... that may even be WFC which got hacked or something ^^'

 

[armand66]

Nintendo can ban consoles connecting to the service for guaranteed cheaters, it's not that hard to do and seeing as they can see people literally cheating, they are just asking to be banned.

 

[Dylaan]

Fucking ban their asses Nintendo!

EDIT: Just checked Worldwide Rankings then... No more fake times!

I'm hoping it'll stay that way...

 

[legendofninny]

yeah atleast nintendo solved it quickly

 

[King Zargo]

I think its something that can be patched very EZ

 

[kelvinate]

But here is the question, is it really a cheat if it happened in game? I am assuming that they are not using any external devices or such. It just happened what action they took (by reversing and stopping) cause the game to bug out.

I am only going on the information I have read so far in this thread. I should think that they should delete those times due to the fact it was not a level playing field.


So here is the question, is a bug in the game a cheat or not?

 

[Bob Evil]

It's a glitch.

 

[legendofninny]

what do we have here, yep ofcourse there is a new cheater in the rankings

 

[Dingler]

Its been fixed

 

[legendofninny]

it had been fixed, yes
but 3 new ones arrived

 

[Jdbye]

That's pretty lame. I'm never ever gonna even get close to getting on the top 10, but I wouldn't want to fuck up everyone else by cheating to get on the top 10 :/
I don't even see the point, everyone knows it's a cheat so they just ignore the 3 people and count the ones below as the REAL worldwide record holders.
Nintendo will have to do something about it though, there's no use in having a highscore list if the highscores are cheated.

 

[legendofninny]

yep true, I just ignore those cheated times.

 

[DiNo29]

Yeah, but the problem is, you can't download the true world champion ghost (unless there's a way to download any ghost from the top10 that I didnt notice), only the best time, which is a cheated one.
But it's been fixed for now, the 3 new ones too.
