If creating a Riivolution template, the steps are nearly the same with two differences. The new image is created with hard link support for duplicate files to reduce the image size while creating the new game title and the new IDs are set.

Some sound files are copied or swapped.To reduce the size from 2.8 to 1.4 GB, some THP videos (such as the title screen trailer and others) are removed and replaced by hard links to a smaller video.The title screens (profile selection) are patched by other PNG files.The image files for the very first start screens are patched by some PNG files.

The second advantage is that this works for all four original Mario Kart Wii images. The advantage is that only the track names and some messages are replaced and the basic messages are not touched. For the PAL version, these are 50 files for five languages.
