MKW Coder & Developer Hall of Fame
This is a thread to give credits to the most influential code creators and developers that MKW has ever seen. This is a personal list and will have plenty of bias, lol.

Mdmwii:Mdmwii was the original GOAT. The Bill Russell of his time. He created many high quality ASM codes back during a time when information and material about PPC ASM was very limited. Most of his codes were created in the year 2009. If you were in the community in 2010 or earlier, you know who Mdmwii is.
Most famous code: Live Replay (GCN)
Other notable codes: MarioBOT, MAC Address Spoofer, Change Character In Between Race, Speed-O-Meter (TT and online), Stalking, Future Fly, FreeFly, Ultimate License Unlocker, Original Drop Item Hack

XeR:Xer is a very skilled code creator who didn't make many codes but every code he did create was very impacting to MKW. Some will say he's the 'best coder' of all time. Creating codes that far exceeded expectations at the time, and creating codes that were thought to be impossible. XeR was the very first person ever to access the China region ID.
Most famous code: Invisible Code
Other notable codes: GOD Code, Force Room CC, Kill-O-Meter, God's controller (GCN), Clear Profile ID, Extend VR Limit

Wiimm:Wiimm is the founder/creator of Wiimmfi, the most popular post-WFC custom Wii/DS server. He's also made the WIT & SZS Tools, which are advanced Wii game editing tools that got the community to move past inferior programs (i.e Wii Scrubber).
Without the Wiimmfi service, the online MKW scene would have died along with Nintendo WFC
Most famous for: Wiimmfi (creator)
Some codes/programs he has created: MKW-Ana, WIT Tools, SZS Tools, GCT Main.dol patching via SZS Tools, License Unlock (Execute ASM type), Clear Profile ID (for non-Wiimmfi profiles only)

Chadderz:The mastermind who created CTGP. Many codes/CTGP-features you thought were made by Mr.Bean were actually made by Chadderz (they are brothers). There's way too much to say about CTGP. Simply run a google search on it and/or visit their website. The work is unbelievable.
Most famous for: CTGP
Some codes he has created: WiFi Time Limit Expansion, 5 Minutes is 99:59.999 (always lose), High Data Rate (co-creator), Ultra Uncut (co-creator)
MrBean:Chadder'z older brother. Arguably the most known overall MKWii player of all time, not just coder/dev. He was the one that put the overall hacking scene on the map. During the late 2010's he would gradually take more and more control over the development & progression of CTGP. Some will argue that he is the greatest coder/dev in MKW History.
Most famous code: 24 Player Mode
Other notable codes: Multi-ghost Replay, Enhanced Ghost Replay, Item Rain, All Items Can Land, High Data Rate (co-creator), Ultra Uncut (co-creator), Performance Bar, Original Draggable Blue Shells

Star:Star would get a USB Gecko in Feb 2018 and begin created various codes based on Guru's original shared item code. Just a short time after learning ASM, he would release his Shared Item Detection code, which got the community's attention. After that, Star would make much more complex ASM Codes. In fact, some of the most complex ASM codes ever created for MKWii. Star also created arguably the greatest code in MKWii History - Remote Code Execution. Before Star came along, it appeared that ASM Coding was done for good. He helped revive it. Star has also contributed to many important community projects such as MKW-SP, Wiilink24 WFC Server, and WiiLink24 WFC Patcher.
In 2024, Star would create the first every program (szshaxx) that allows you to inject arbritary code into MKWii via an SD card. Thus, szshaxx is the first ever program to allow a user to install HBC on the Wii using the Mario Kart Wii game. On another note, Star was also the first person to get cheat codes running thru CTGP.
Most famous code: Remote Code Execution
Other notable codes: A Step Above God, Target Freeze, Graphical Speedometer, Screenshot, Perfect Replace Item w/ Shared Item, Draw Text To Screen (co-creator), Custom Exception Handler (co-creator), Join any Friend's Regional, Shared Item Cheat Detection, Host Always Wins Track Vote, Room Message Spoofer, Lag Switch, Mii Name Extender

He would make the one of the most influential codes of all time, the Pretty Speedometer code. Nowadays, this code (or some altercation thereof) is present in damn near every Time Trial Video. He would also make one of the most influential MKW Mods of all time: MKW-SP. Throw in some other great codes such as Items on MiniMap and you have a legend. Oh don't forget all the "would-be-codes" that were implemented within MKW-SP.

Bully:Bully has made a huge amount of codes for MKW. There are so many codes made by him, that the list of notable codes below could easily be tripled.

It is the first ever site to contain an organized database/list of all public MKW Cheat codes. After Vega learned PowerPC ASM (with much help from Star), he would make many guides on the forums to teach others PowerPC ASM. Since before those guides were around, there was basically no info at all to learn PowerPC ASM to make Wii Cheat Codes. Vega also created the first ever MKW Unlocker HBC app (V-Unlock), and the first ever PPC Assembler written in PPC (Waltress).
