Versus mode – Two to four players compete in single races on any track without any computer players.However, the Virtual Console version of Mario Kart 64 released on the Wii is incompatible with the device and is thus unable to save ghost data. Ghost data for up to two different courses can be saved permanently only on a Controller Pak device. The player can select to race against a ghost character who will mimic the movement of the player from a previous race. For any given course the top five fastest total times are saved, and the fastest single lap time of any race is also saved. There are no opponent racers or item boxes, though the player will always begin each race with a Triple Mushroom in reserve.
