The Download Link for the Practice Rom can be found Here.
A Save file that has everything unlocked and 99 of every item in Mario's Inventory can be found Here.
Note: To install this on a Wii or Wii U, you are going to need a Homebrewed console, which can be done by following this guide.
First, you are going to need riivolution, which can be downloaded Here.
Once you have installed that, you will need to download the .zip for the practice rom/no autoscroll mod and extract its contents on the root of your SD card.
Once the folders have been extracted to the root of your sd card, you will need to boot up riivolution and enable PracticeSMBW (or NoAutoscroll if you are playing the no Autoscroll mod). Also make sure to disable any other mods in riivolution as they will possibly interfere with the practice rom.
To make sure it's working, the title screen should say Practice Super Mario Bros. Wii, and the copyright text should be replaced with the version you are playing on.
To use the specific tricks practice, put the stage file in the Stage folder and replace the already existing file.
To use the max% save file, extract the zip file to the root of your sd card.
Using the practice rom is very simple. Simply load up a save file, select a level, and from there you may see pipes or doors you can enter to reach certain parts of the level quicker. There's also some parts that have loop pipes at the end for more efficient practice, so be sure to look out for any pipes or doors that aren't in the vanilla game!
For the new features in version 3.0 by RoadrunnerWNC, this site shows how to use them.
Old Features from the old Any% Practice Rom Return! This Includes:
Levels like 8-Airship have an extended timer so you don't die frequently when practicing bombless.
The In Game Timer is more accurate and you can see how high/low your in game times are.
Pipes Included to practice difficult sections over and over again for more efficient practice.
Some visuals to make the practice rom stand out more.
Here's a list of NEW features exclusive to this Practice Rom:
ALL Levels have been accounted for, not just Any% ones!
The Any% Levels have been improved to involve more categories and more sections.
The overworld enemy encounters have had their balloon patterns fixed to the pattern seen in runs.
Boss Pipes are now Color Coded red to distinguish them from the other pipes present in the level.
Improved LCK practice to start you in a better spot and have a way to recover in case you mess up.
Level Reset, Powerup Cycling, Position Codes, and more made by RoadrunnerWMC
Q: If I already have the old Any% Practice Rom, is it worth switching to this one?
A: Yes!!! This one has everything the old practice rom has, and even more. Even if you only want to practice Any%, this rom fixes and adds upon the old one, making it a must have even for the people who don't need the new levels.
Q: Why isn't there X Pipe/Door at Y location that Leads to Z?
A: There's 2 issues I had to get around when designing this: global cycles, and stars. Stars don't respawn from blocks, so any levels or sections that rely on a star cannot be looped for repeated practice. The same goes for cycles, where they will not line up properly if you try to loop them, so any levels heavily cycle based was limited in what I could do with loops. There's also a chance we just missed something, so please make suggestions in the discord found on the discord page.
Q: Where can I make a suggestion?
A: In the Discord Server
Q: When will updates happen and what's planned?
A: Whenever I have enough content to make a new update worthwhile or a very large bug is found.
Q: How long did this take you to make?
A: This only took me 1 day to make, but I spent pretty much all my waking hours and then some working on it, so it wasn't too easy.

These files are not allowed for speedruns on speedrun.com, but they are useful for practice runs, races, or other things that don't involve submitting speedruns to speedrun.com. These files will always have the overworld goomba in the top left slot on a new file, allowing you to skip the goomba every run and have perfect rng in any% runs.
