The Wii Wheel transforms the Wii Remote™ controller into a steering wheel that feels natural in anyone's hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk™ controller offer a classic control style for the Mario Kart veteran. In either configuration, players can perform speed-boosting tricks with a shake of the Wii Remote.
Players can race as their favorite Nintendo character, or even as themselves! Mario Kart Wii lets players race with their personalized Mii™ characters. And racers will see other Mii characters they have created cheering from the sidelines on some race courses.
Players can compete with up to three friends in their living room. Or challenge up to 11 opponents via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in the biggest Mario Kart race yet. All tracks and modes of play are available via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and players can visit the Mario Kart Channel to compete in tournaments, check rankings, see when their friends are playing and download ghost data.
Cruise new tracks and arenas or tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart™, Mario Kart® 64, Mario Kart®: Super Circuit™, Mario Kart®: Double Dash!!™ and Mario Kart® DS. Tired of riding on four wheels? Bust out one of the new motorbikes for special tricks and techniques.

- Lots of FUN
I bought Mario Kart with Wheel based on positive feedback from a few colleagues at work. My wife thought I was wasting our money when I came home with the game. However, after watching me play, she quickly became anxious to play. After 5 minutes she was hooked. The game is easy to understand and very intuitive. Every night we look forward to playing the game after dinner. The feedback from the controller and the visual effects actually make me at times feel a little motion sickness. You can get hooked very easily. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

- So addicting!
i love this game! i have only a few WII games and Mario Kart is the one i play most. i love the driving games and this one is my favorite. i use to play it on super nintendo and now it's even better with the little steering wheel for the WII. i'm pretty sure i'll still be playing this game in 5 years, unless something better than the WII comes out. lol

- Fantastic game but problems developing online
Mario Kart Wii is a fantastic game. In fact I would say it is the best Mario Kart game to date. If you are buying this for the online play though, you may want to reconsider. The online play is being plagued by cheaters. They have codes they can use so they have star power through the entire game for instance. There are also ways they can have unlimited bullet bill, etc.

Great game to play with friends, but the online play is being ruined by geek cheaters.

- A great "pick and up play" type game for the whole family!
What a great game this is for the ENTIRE family! Our 3 preschool-aged sons love this as much as I do, their 37-year-old mom. It is easy enough at the beginning to simply "pick up and play" without the steep learning curve of other racing games. Yet, it gets progressively more challenging as your skills increase. The game is packed with features and options that keep it highly entertaining. While Mario Kart Wii can be hard to find online and/or at the store, keep trying! The wait was worth it!

- Wii are Having Fun Racing!
After playing this game on my friend's Wii, I went out and bought a Wii and this game. That's how much I enjoyed it.

I have the original Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo. The basic game play is pretty much the same. You are controlling one of the characters from the Mario universe as you attempt to race around tracks and win. Along the way, you can pick up power ups to help you or hinder your opponents. Of course, that means they can attack you as well, so watch out.

With this incarnation, you've got 32 courses to play. You start out with half of them available and earn the other half as you win races. They include fun new courses created for this version as well as the best of the courses from the older incarnations of this game.

This game can be played by one person or up to four people, each needing their own controllers. Naturally, with four players, the screen becomes smaller, so you'd want to have a larger TV.

You can also play this game over the internet. I've raced against friends across town who also have it. Or, if none of them are on line, you can race against strangers. The game will set up matches from your region or around the world.

But what really makes this game amazing in the remote. Each copy comes with one steering wheel. That's right. Just put your regular remote in the wheel and suddenly you can steer your car. I still haven't figured out quite how they set the receiver to do that. You don't need to use the wheel, however. You can just use your remote, although it isn't nearly as much fun. Heck, you can even use your nunchuck controller if you'd like.

The graphics are quite uneven on this game. The newer levels look pretty good, but the older ones are done in the same, cheesy style. Admittedly the entire thing is rather cartoonish. But it really don't dampen my enjoyment in the slightest.

Overall, this is a fun game that I know I will be playing for a long time to come.
