What is a .RKG file?
An RKG file is a special type of file used in the game Mario Kart Wii, which is a racing game you can play on the Nintendo Wii console. This file stores information about a "ghost" racer. In Mario Kart Wii, a ghost racer is like a recording of a previous race that you can race against to try and beat their time. It's not a real player racing in real-time, but rather a saved race that you can challenge.
The information inside an RKG file includes which character was used, what kind of kart they were driving, how they like to drift (which is a way to turn corners quickly), and the exact path they took around the race course. This path is saved as if the game remembered every button the player pressed during their race. When you race against a ghost, Mario Kart Wii uses this file to recreate the ghost racer's performance on the track.
To open or view the details of an RKG file, you can use specific programs designed for this purpose. These programs include: - RKG Viewer: This is a program that lets you see the details stored in an RKG file, like the ghost racer's character, kart, and the route they took on the course. - Riivolution: Riivolution is a more advanced tool that allows Wii users to modify their games. It can also be used to manage RKG files, among other things.
These programs are made for people who like to dig into the game's files and see how things work or for those who want to manage their ghost racers in a more detailed way.
