I feel like the devs got something backwards when making the no low detail models option. And apparently the Chao are supposed to look like that

This guide is rather bad for multiple reasons. 1) using motion blur ruins the image quality and makes 60 fps look worse than the game running without motion blur. 2) If your gona use low detailed asstes your just using assets with lower textures than the wii so no it will not make the game look better. Lastly 3) the soft particles you can use reshade or something else to soften the effects better. Nothing you recommended actually fixes the ladder stepping anti aliasing, and other issues thats kinda hard coded into the game.

Honestly, the best thing you can do is adjust amd or nvidia grapghics in the control panel and set it so it overides the in game settings for true improvements.

Game freezes on those settings, how do I fix it?

Thank you! I thought it looked noticeably worse! That's such a dumb config option, low detail models off makes the whole game look PS2 lol

Cheers bro, you saved my game. Freaking weirdo port dev putting a setting that literally says "low detail models: Off" and makes our game look like a port to ps2... what a mess.

I keep getting random black screens when i play like this throughout races

omg now it looks like how i reember

You know, I have been playing this game for almost two years... never knew this existed! You breathed new life into one of my favourite kart racers of all time, thank you!

Thanks for this great guide. The "Low Detail Models" thing did the trick.

I have a problem where my game drops to under 10 fps as soon as I go into a race and its unplayable, no matter what I try with the graphics
