Get Trackmania: Build to Race installed and ready to go! This guide covers everything you need to know for your first launch and getting started with the game.
Alright, so you've got your hands on Trackmania: Build to Race (or maybe you know it as Trackmania Wii). It's part of the awesome Trackmania series, and getting it set up is pretty straightforward. Think of this as your quick-start guide to jump right into the action!
The game itself is pretty similar to other Trackmania titles you might have played. You've got a Solo campaign with over 200 tracks to conquer, and a super fun track editor to let your creativity run wild. The game packs in the classic Race, Puzzle, and Platform modes, and you'll get to race across six of the seven iconic environments: Stadium, Island, Desert, Snow, Rally, and Coast. The Bay environment didn't make the cut this time around, likely because its scenery is a bit too complex for the Wii.
A Little History: This game first popped up on our radar back on June 30, 2009. It was originally slated for a July 20, 2010 release, but the folks at Dreamcatcher Interactive decided to give it a little more polish, pushing the date back. Eventually, it landed on September 23, 2010, in the UK.
DLC Fun (Back in the Day): Back when the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was a thing, you could download extra tracks called Turbo 1-8. Unfortunately, that service is no longer available, so you can't grab those directly anymore. However, the community has done a great job recreating them, and you can find guides on how to replicate those routes if you're curious!
Did You Know? This is the only Trackmania game that came out on the Nintendo Wii, and it was the second console release after Trackmania DS. Fun fact: the Island and Coast environments don't have a Night mode in this game, which is a bit unique!
