What is the Hardest Thing to Unlock in Mario Kart Wii?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

Without a doubt, the most notoriously difficult unlockable in Mario Kart Wii is Mii Outfit B. This highly coveted costume allows Miis to dress up as Mario, Luigi, Peach and Daisy. But obtaining it requires an extreme test of skill – 1-star ranking all Mirror Cups.

To break that down, 1-star rankings demand the following:

  • Finish 1st place in every race
  • Beat the Nintendo staff ghost time trials

The Wii staff ghosts are blisteringly quick. For example, their Mushroom Gorge time is 2‘12"455 – nearly perfect racing. Even hardcore Mario Kart pros struggle to beat these times consistently.

And that‘s just on 150cc. Mirror Mode cranks up the difficulty even further…

  • CPU racers receive speed and item boosts
  • More aggressive item usage against you
  • Courses are literally flipped backwards

It‘s an incredibly daunting challenge. But Mii Outfit B isn‘t the only brutal unlockable:

  • Funky Kong and Dry Bowser also need 1-star Mirror rankings
  • A few kart parts like the Bolt Buggy only require 3-star 150cc times

So what makes Mii Outfit B stand out as the hardest? Check out the unlock requirements for hardest characters across Mario Kart games:

8 DeluxeGold MarioGet 1 star on all 200cc cups

As this table demonstrates, Mii Outfit B goes above and beyond any other game‘s demands. We‘re talking 16 brutaltime trial races with zero margin for error.

Now, if you still have the skills and determination to tackle unlocking this costume, here are some tips:

  • Use Heavy characters like Bowser or DK for speed
  • Time mini-turbos out of drifts perfectly
  • Utilize shortcuts religiously

I estimate less than 5% of Mario Kart Wii players have achieved the feat of 1-starring all Mirror Cups to obtain Mii Outfit B. It‘s truly the last thing most gamers will unlock, serving as the ultimate status symbol for one‘s dedication and skill.

Trust me, if you see someone drifting around corners in a 1st place frantic finish with Peach‘s graceful visage…fear them, for they have conquered the greatest challenge Mario Kart Wii has to offer!
