'''Checkpoints''', or '''~~CPs~~''', are a mechanic in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' used to track progression through the lap. They handle lap counts and [[respawn]] locations.

'''Checkpoints''', '''CPs''', or '''CKPTs''', are a mechanic in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' used to track progression through the lap. They handle lap counts and [[respawn]] locations.

The checkpoint system attempts to prevent unintended shortcuts from counting the lap. However, there are several oversights in the system, which makes it possible to skip a majority of the track and still get a lap count.

Line 23:

=== Lap count rules ===

In order to ~~get a~~ lap ~~count~~ when entering KCP 0, the following conditions must be met:

*~~The~~ current KCP value must be the last KCP of the track~~. (It~~ is ~~not possible to get a~~ lap ~~count without entering~~ the ~~final~~ KCP ~~first.)~~

In order to increase the lap counter when entering KCP 0, the following conditions must be met:

**If the current CP value is the last CP of the track, then the lap count increases by 1.

**Else, if the current CP value is a different CP in the last KCP region and ~~the Lap%~~ value decreases by over 0.95, then the lap count increases by 1.

*'''Last KCP rule:''' If the current lap value is less than or equal to the max lap value, the current KCP value must be the last KCP of the track

:'''Max Lap rule:''' Else, if the current KCP value is greater than the max lap value, the current KCP value is not checked

*'''Reverse Last CP rule:''' If the current CP value is the last CP of the track, then the lap count increases by 1

:'''Reverse 95% rule (or 5% rule):''' Else, if the current CP value is a different CP in the last KCP region and LapCompletion value decreases by over 0.95, then the lap count increases by 1

Similar rules apply for decreasing the lap counter upon leaving KCP 0:

*If the new checkpoint value is the last CP of the track, then the lap count decreases by 1.

*'''Last CP rule:''' If the new checkpoint value is the last CP of the track, then the lap count decreases by 1

*Else, if the new checkpoint value is a different CP in the last KCP region and the ~~Lap%~~ value increases by over 0.95, then the lap count decreases by 1.

:'''95% rule:''' Else, if the new checkpoint value is a different CP in the last KCP region and the LapCompletion value increases by over 0.95, then the lap count decreases by 1
