A group of YouTube users have managed to hack Mario Kart 8. The group says that it’s basically proof of concept and none of it is in any state to be released at present, so no need to worry. You can check out the numerous hacks that the team have accomplished in the video posted above.

“This is footage from an earlier live stream, showing on-the-fly RAM edits of Mario Kart 8. The quality is a tad sub-par because of it, but we hope it’s manageable. The mods shown here include:”

Making Moo Moo Meadows play its final lap music immediately

Making the final lap play no music at all

Making the lap 1/2 song into the opening camera fanfare

Renaming Moo Moo Meadows to “Hello!”

Renaming it again to “Shitty luck course!”

Renaming Toad’s Turnpike to Deathpike…

Corrupting a font

Crashing the Wii U

Altering the Wii U menu fonts

“This work is based on the recently released browser exploit, and some additional code that Chadderz wrote to get arbitrary kernel reading and writing, to allow the browser to edit Mario Kart 8’s memory on-the-fly.”

“All of this may not look impressive, but it’s merely because we don’t even know where to start; we can do anything now, anything at all! Custom tracks, custom songs, you name it. We just have to decipher the RAM and work out how.”
