Who knew a golf cart could go 170MPH?

California Speed is just one of many arcade racing games produced by now-defunct Midway.

Thanks goes to the Wii homebrew community for whipping up the Ocarina cheat code.

By now, you've probably already heard that Donkey Kong Country Returns has some inescapable motion control. Whether playing with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk set-up or just the Wii Remote alone, you are going to be shaking to perform the vital function of rolling as well as ground pounding and blowing. Recently, however, the Wii homebrew community has concocted a method to skirt the need to use these motion controls.
