How can I join online multiplayer races now that Nintendo WFC has been discontinued? - Students Sitting Inside the Classroom While Using Their Smartphone

In 2014 Nintendo terminated the Nintendo WFC (Wi-Fi Connection) for the Wii console, which has made it impossible for players to join other players online, or use online data in-game.

At least that was what I thought, until I watched a few Mario Kart Wii videos on YouTube. I found recent videos or even live streams that showed the player racing with others online. One example can be found here.

How can I do this? Am I missing something important in the game?
