To help you cope with the encroaching demise of online Wii gaming, your PixlBit family is here to help you send the service off to its eternal existence before it all ends on May 20th. What better game to do this with than one of the few that had a significant online community: Mario Kart Wii. Join us on Thursday, May 15th starting at 9:00 p.m. EDT to play Mario Kart races until we puke blue shells. If all goes according to plan, we’ll also record the event so you can see how it played out from at least one other person’s perspective. To get in on the fun, just post your Mario Kart code in the comments and we’ll add it to a big list for everyone to tediously enter into their Wiis.
We’ll update the list below periodically, and be sure to add EVERYONE to the list so we can get as many people in a “room” as possible. We’re pretty unsure how popular this will be, but don’t expect overcrowding to be a problem, but you never know.
If you’re not sure how to get your Mario Kart code, just head to the “Select License” screen (right after the title screen) and the code will be beneath your Mii’s name on the license. Remember, this number is not the same as your Wii’s friend code.
I recommend checking the batteries in your Wii remotes and entering codes ahead of time to be ready. We’ll see you there!

UPDATE: Travis and Chris have logged off for the night, but others might still be online for a bit. We had a lot of fun and hope to get some sort of video up soon. CaptainN overwhelmed us all!
I've been thinking about the fact that we should do something like this and I'd would love to join...
But I've got to go to work at 10 PM. The joys of a crappy 3rd shift job never cesist to stop.
Surely you can squeak in a round or two? Go ahead and add your code in case there's a follow up or something else works out.
OK I'll try. My Nintendo Social Security Number ID is 3351-6075-2482.
Added! Hope that's your Mario Kart ID... this is all so confusing.
any time the P-Bit community is down for a playdate, I'm down as well...only thing is, I have no Wii...sucks for me
I will try to get in on this! I work nights, and this weekend I'll be busy at the National Guard, but I think I can grab the game for cheap and convince my friend to join. (she's the one with the wi-fi)
Will get back to you on that. need to check my schedule.
I'll be working, sorry.
Online play will stop but the Wii's store will still be open though, right?
So, will you need my Wii code as well cause I think that doesn't work anymore, but I'll post my Wii Code. Now from what I guess, it's probably at 6 my time since it's at the Pacific Time Zone right?
Edit: here's MK Friend Code: 4641-2541-2874 and my name is Gonzalo if you need that but you can use Captain N if you're going to edit the article list.
I'm in.
MK code 1676-9034-7459
Will be racing as my Mii along with name NSonic79
Batteries charged along with reserves. Hope you all are not a bunch of race-snakers.
We're a tad behind. Get online and be ready! Start without me if you are able!
already pn it Captain N is badass on this
We are online and have a room going. See you there!
We are already in a room I've made. I'll be in it for a little a longer before I go. Sorry
Okay. will join when your race is over.
Sorry Capt. N and NSonic, got to go to work. Fun races, though. Sorry I missed you Travis and Chris. Maybe another time before the 20th.
No prob. Looks like we needed more work if we were to compete with Captain N. GR though!
Sorry for the disconnection everyone, my internet sucks.
It'ws all good. we can wait. perhaps your driving has something to do with it!
Probably!
Great games everyone, sorry if I went a bit overboard there, I'll try to go easy on you guys next time, either on MKWii, MK7, or MK8.
How could I have forgotten about this? Dang it
:( We have a few days left if you guys want to agree on a follow up session time.
I think that I pushed this play date from my memory because I do suck at Mario Kart Wii. I haven't had anywhere near as many issues when I have gone back to play Super and 64.
