Mario Kart Wii/BRLYT Text

This is a sub-page of Mario Kart Wii.

BRLYT files are responsible for menu layouts, and they have a section in them to place text. The final game uses BMG files for text storage instead, leaving the BRLYT files with a bunch of old and placeholder text, some of which is untranslated.

You can view these messages in-game by using the following Gecko code:

Title.szs/../press_start.brlyt	PRESS (+) or START	-	Interestingly, it means that you originally would not press the A button on the title screen but instead the + button (or START on a GameCube controller).
Title.szs/../common_w017_message.brlyt	イチローさんのフレンドコードは 1111 - 1111 - 1111 - 1111 になります。マリオカートを とおくはなれたともだちとあそぶために ひつようなばんごうです わすないようにメモしておいてください	Ichiro's friend code is 1111-1111-1111-1111. You'll need these codes to play Mario Kart with friends who are far away. Write them down so you won't forget!	Friend codes were originally 16 digits long?
