Mario Kart Wii Competitions
From The DS Ultimate Wiki
Mario Kart Wii Competitions, or Tournaments, as they are known in non-PAL regions, are the equivalents of Mario Kart DS missions, and are basically wifi enabled versions with online leaderboards that are found in Mario Kart Wii. There are currently these types of missions:
Going Through Gates/Rings
You must go through various numbered gates/rings in edited versions of the levels, like in Mario Kart DS.
Collecting Coins
You must collect coins in edited versions of levels, like Mario Kart DS.
Edited Track Vs Races
Vs races with conditions such as more enemies/threats, limited items or non race tracks being used.
Boss Battles
You fight against a boss character from Super Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Bros.
Edited Track Time Trials
You try to get the best time in an edited version of a track.
Defeat the Enemies
You have to use items or whatever is available to take out a load of enemies.
