It's TrackMania for the Wii. Now grandma also gets to grind PBs!
A decent entry with okay graphics and a funky semi-original soundtrack. (i.e. they commissioned a few tracks and padded with production music.)

Unused Videos
Focus Home Interactive Logo Movie
A Focus Home Interactive logo movie exists on the disc. Its internal name is "polymorph".
The final game doesn't use this, instead putting a Focus logo in the intro/attract movie. (It's unchanged in the US release, strangely.)
DreamCatcher Logo Movie
A DreamCatcher Interactive logo movie exists as well. Wait, what do they have to do with this game? Several GameFAQs threads paint the following picture:
DreamCatcher Interactive was meant to publish this game in July 2010,[1] but they announced the game was gonna be delayed to December with no reason given.[2][3][4] September saw the EU release,[5] while December came and went. Why this happened is not public knowledge. US publishing duties were quietly switched to City Interactive, who would, after some more release date woes, fulfill the game's publishing for March 2011.[6]
DreamCatcher would file for bankruptcy sometime after that.
(Box art for the game with the DreamCatcher logo exist online, but it's unknown if discs using this logo were ever actually pressed/released.)
The logo movie remains in the game files of the Focus and City Interactive releases.

Draw a track outline by Touching or Dragging the Stylus across the Touch Screen. Drag the Stylus across the Touch Screen to delete multiple blocks. Save the current track to your TrackMania DS Game Card.
This game was very likely made in tandem with TrackMania Turbo (Nintendo DS), as there's leftovers all over the place.
