Wii Software \ Friend Codes & Hired Games

Did a search for this but couldn't find anything on it. I was wondering if friend codes for games are disc related or console related. For example, if I hire a game, will the online friend code for it be the same on all consoles for that disc? Or will it be different when put into a different console?

Thanks.

the friendcode would not be disc related, because people sell or trade their games all the time.

the game's friendcode is generated in relation to your Wii's code/wi-fi, and will be stored on the console.

for example, if you use 10 different mario kart discs on the same console, you'll still get the same friendcode.

Somehow, I'm not sure about that. Maybe if you kept the same save, then of course. But I'm pretty sure if you erase the save and start a new game, the code will be different.

yeah you're right, if you delete the saved game then a new code will be generated. what i meant was if you already have a friendcode then it doesn't matter if you used different Mario Kart discs, the code won't change as it doesn't depend on the disc.
