In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, reflecting a band of light ahead of the player. This is implemented cleverly by leveraging something that the Wii is already doing, allowing it to not need to use any sort of additional lighting or post-processing.

In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, always seeming to reflect light in a narrow band ahead of the driver. Increasing the contrast of the image makes the effect more visible. Internally, this effect is achieved in an extremely simple way by leveraging an existing system: Mipmapping is a practice whereby several copies of a texture are stored, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 2. The further away from the camera a point is, the smaller the texture is that is applied to it. This reduces aliasing (the interference patterns created by viewing high-detail surfaces at oblique angles) and improves rendering speed. The textures are then smoothly blended. This is supported natively by the hardware and happens automatically. SLIGHTLY BRIGHTER! Original road texture: 1024x256 pixels closer to camera 512x128 pixels 256x64 pixels 128x32 pixels 64x16 32x8 pixels pixels further from camera By making only the second texture slightly brighter, the system that automatically places the texture a certain distance away from the camera is leveraged to make a band of light that appears to move automatically with the player. On the right, each mipmap is colored differently for a more striking demonstration. Fun fact: this usage of mipmaps to make a rainbow occurs in Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64!
