Forwarder Channel
You can download a forwarder channel here.
- Important: If you load the game using the forwarder channel, then you must exit the game using the option "Exit to Wii Menu", or else you will crash your Wii.
- There's no reason to download the forwarder channel (unless you're bored and want to see what I look like), but I had fun making it.
- I used CustomizeMii, which is a great piece of software!

v0.1b
