Standard matchmaking does work on Wiimmfi, but you may not be able to count on actually finding anyone in the queue.

Mario Kart DS is a gamble unless its at peak hours, but Mario kart Wii nearly always has a couple hundred people online

It connects to Wiimmfi servers.

At least for mariokart Wii I believe the servers are hosted by wiimmfi because Nintendo turned off their official servers many moons ago
