How to Unlock Every Cup in Mario Kart Wii

In Mario Kart Wii, there are several cups you cannot race on when you first play the game. These cups are the Leaf cup, the Star Cup, the Lightning Cup, and the Special Cup. Each of these cups contain four courses. To race on these hidden courses, you must unlock them in 1-player mode. You need to unlock each cup once for each difficulty mode you wish to play that cup on. Once you unlock a cup, you can play on it in multiplayer mode as well.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Unlock the Leaf Cup by earning a trophy (must come in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place overall in a 1-player Grand Prix) in the Shell and Banana cups.

2. Unlock the Star Cup by earning trophies in the Mushroom and Flower cups.

3. Unlock the Lightning Cup by earning a trophy in the Leaf Cup. You must unlock the Leaf Cup first.

4. Unlock the Special Cup by earning a trophy in the Star Cup. You must unlock the Star Cup first.

5. Once you have unlocked every cup in 150cc, earn a trophy for each of them to unlock Mirror Mode, allowing you to do a 150cc race with the course backwards (mirror image, as in left is right, and text is spelled backwards. You do not go around the course the wrong way.) You need to unlock every cup again for mirror mode.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember, you can only play a cup on the mode you unlocked it with. To unlock all cups in all modes, you must unlock them once for each difficuty.
