How do you unlock all the tracks on Mario Kart Wii?
To unlock every track in Mario Kart Wii, you've got to earn a trophy (that means finishing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd overall) in the Grand Prix Cups that come before them, across all the different engine classes.
For example, snagging trophies in cups like the 50cc Mushroom and Flower will open up the next set of cups. This pattern holds true for all 32 tracks in the game; you'll need to master each cup set in 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc modes to see everything.
