The buttons from Mario Kart Wii, remade in the usual web stack.

three buttons on a white background, in the style of mario kart wii.

Recently, I have been obsessed with Mario kart, mostly on the Wii. No reason why, I just suddenly got into it.
Like, there's this model of a Koopa Troopa which is a port from Mario Kart Tour to Mario Kart 8. I ported that to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and then I swapped out the tour Koopa Troopa with the one from 8 Deluxe, so it feels more in line with it. I then ported that to the Wii. It was the hardest port; I kept on having issues and lowering the poly count introduced gaps in the model.
Now, I mostly no longer play as Koopa Troopa on the Wii. Mostly just Diddy or Funky Kong. Mostly a pointless adventure, but it was fun to learn more about how Mario Kart Wii and Wii modding in general (like, did you know that the Koopa Troopa model on the Wii has unused bones and textures for wings?). Also, the model is a nice profile picture:

I also have two buttons you can link that uses this picture.
Anyways, I realized I haven't really been coding anymore cuz of Mario Kart, so I decided to kinda do a two in one.
