Description

The original kart racer is back on track with a motion-controlled edition for Wii. The 2008 release features classic characters, courses, and cups from previous Mario Kart games, both on consoles and handhelds. New tracks and championships are available as well, along with a new vehicle type. For the first time in the series, characters can race motorbikes as well as go-karts. Bikes can perform wheelies, and mid-air tricks add a speed boost upon landing. Many of the series' other classic power-ups return to the circuit in abundance, with plenty of koopa shells, bobombs, and invincibility stars. Several control schemes are available, making use of the Wii Remote (with or without the included snap-on steering wheel handle), the classic GCN controller or Wavebird, or the Wii's Classic Controller add-on. Following the lead of the DS version of the game, Mario Kart for Wii supports online multiplayer competition, for as many as 12 players in various modes.

      Comments about Mario Kart & Wii Wheel (Wii):

      I think this game is really fun for people of all ages and it is also easy to play. The races are the most fun, although the challenge (vs) rounds are pretty good too. I don't like the steering wheel though - i find the nunchuck easier to maneuver - but you get more points doing tricks with the steering wheel so if you are a bit more competitive then i suggest you persevere.

            This is a really good, fun game to play when you have friends around. It can be played with up to 4 people at once or online with players around the world.
            Plenty of fun and the best Mario Kart game since Mario Kart 64.

                We bought Mario Karts for our kids, but it is such a fun game that we find we want to play too! Really enjoy being about to race each other. Kids love being able to launch items at the parents! Courses are touch enough to challenge the adults, but easy enough that the kids can compelte too.

                Comments about Mario Kart & Wii Wheel (Wii):

                The game Mario Cart Wii is great fun for everyone because it is one of the games that dose not stop giving you entertainment.
                There are no glitches that i know of. There is a multiplayer setting that is the best that i encountered, the connection to multiplayer games and can play with friends all around the world.
                The amount of characters are continues and you can also choose your mii character.
                The aim of the game is to win first place while going through levels including in the arctic or in the dessert.There are upgrades on the way to the finish line.
                I think this game has to be the best game i played on the wii.
                I will give it 9.9 out of 10.

                    Fun and challenging story mode with a decent variety of courses.
                    great multiplayer action

                    HIGHLY ADDICTIVE ONLINE PLAY

                    All in all a near perfect game, the only down side is that I want more courses. In saying that it took me many and many hours to get the hang of them all
