Mariokart Wii is a triumphant return to the original style of Mariokart, and Nintendo certainly pulled out all the stops on this one! Most notably, thanks to the technology of the Wiimote, and the handy Wii Wheel included with the game, Mariokart Wii puts you right in the driver's seat, and you must actually steer using the Wii Wheel and Wiimote. Nintendo revived some tracks from old games for all you long-time fans, brought in a slew of new characters, and another great feature: You get several different vehicles to choose from...including motorcycles! I've owned the game for over a month now, and its still at the top of my list! Pick up a copy, you'll be glad you did!

This game is so fun! The Wii wheel is the best part. I was hoping it would have more than the regular Mario Karts but I haven't seen anything yet, but I have only played for about 20 minutes.

Racers, start your engines, grab the wheel (unless you use another control type) and get ready for the race of your life. Now with added characters, Mario Kart Wii is a must buy game. Now you can even put your Mii to use. Even though they probably sound like slippy from star fox, it is a great character. They added characters such as your Mii with the option of a mario outfit, Funky Kong, Rosalina and other characters. The gameplay is great and has the Wi-Fi feature so you can race people around the world. Despite waiting for a race to end, it's fun playing against people around the world. This is a must buy game for all racing fans or if you just love mario.

This is probably the best playing mario kart to date. It has a comprehensive track listing with a good collection of classics and great new tracks. The online and local multiplayer will keep people coming back. The simple trick system and integration of motorcycles really add to the experience in a good way. The one downfall is the rubberband effect when too many good items appear that completely change the race and, at times, punish a solid driving performance by hitting the first place person repeatedly. Multiplayer is great, as usual and there are plenty of tracks and characters to unlock. A great playing, comprehensive entry into the long running series.

A Must-Have Game

This game is a blast!!! It's fun for the entire family and for all ages. If you don't already have this game, you need to buy it.
This game is best played when you get on the WFC where you can race your other Mario Kart-owning friends. But it's just as fun to play others from all over the country or the world. But if you just want to play the game disc without the WFC, it's still loads of fun.
The only other con for me is that it can be costly when you have to by addtional steering wheels. But there are cheaper versions of steering wheels out there. Or find other games that also come w/ a free steering wheel. That way, you get another driving game.

I have been a fan of games for a long time, let alone Mario bros. My whole family enjoys Mario Kart Wii! There are amazing courses, crazy power-ups, challenging levels, and a simple yet fun format of racing that anyone can play! you could be a little kid, a working adult, or a grandparent, either way, i can almost guarentee you will like this game.
I have played bloody games like Grand Theft Auto and shooting games like Halo, and they are all very interesting games. But this game stands out as one of the best games i have played so far. There isn't any violence or obscentities. it's all just good clean fun!

ive always been a huge mario kart fan, and every time a new system makes a mario kart, its always good, never fails!!
BUT mario kart wii hands down is the best! it brings back a bunch of classic tracks (even from the SNES) plus the addition of new tracks. and the bikes are pretty cool too. nice selection of classic mario charectors to choose from. but the fact that there is onlin play makes this game the best!! now i always have some random person to challenge, since the wife isnt big on games!! LOL
the world tourney is cool, you can see your ranking.
this game is well worth the money!

More fun than ever!

I used to play the GameCube version, but the Wii version is better. No more feeling like your thumb is going to fall off thanks to steering with the Wii-mote. Lots of folks have noted that the wheel itself is superfluous -- it's easy enough to play with just the Wii-mote. But I think the wheel is kind of fun, and the drag it provides may be the only way I'll ever get close to steering one of those unwieldy motorbikes in the game.
This game is great because you can play a whole cup in 15 minutes or less, so it's a nice break from work, or you can binge for hours and never get bored.

Excellent for the Whole Family!!!!!

Very much wanted a family game for the whole family, but yet one that the graphics would not break down with multiplayers as the Cars Race O Rama game does. Mario Kart fulfills that. The whole family can enjoy it and the graphics are awesome even in multiplayer mode. Even the 3 year likes it, even though she does not really understand how to drive. Our 7 year old does as well as I do most of the time and my wife even enjoys the game. Great family game overall with great graphics and control. Glad we spent the extra to get a quality game.

Best Mario Kart Yet!
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The mario kart we all know and love with some new additions. There are more jumps and you can perform tricks when going off a jump. I think the best part about this game is that they incorporate levels from previous games, including the SNES version!
This game is a lot of fun, especially if you have a large group of people playing. Online play is also great, but if you play with a friend online, only one player can actually be rated based on their win/loss.
If you liked any of the previous versions of mario kart on other systems, then this is a must buy.

make sure your tv is big enough for 4 players!!! otherwise it gets a bit tough to see you characters.
gameplay is awesome and so much fun! glad the game came with at least one wheel which believe it or not make's a pretty big difference in experiencing the game.
the game is challenging because i still haevn't unlocked everything so i'm glad that it keeps me at a distance as far as completely beating it...
multiplayer is awesome and i can't even imagine playin this on wifi woohoo!! a must for any wii console holders!!
great for parties

At first I wasnt to sure if I wanted this game but while I was at my local best buy store I played the demo provided there. I really really liked it. Luckily there was one copy left on the return shelf! I had to take it. I played it at home and it was great fun. It is really fun to play with other people too. The Wii wheel isnt really needed to play the game though... but it does give it the feeling that you are actually driving. I have the Mario Kart DS version and I find it prety similar other than of course the driving method.

I really enjyed this game. I usualy can beat a game in a matter of a few hours then I get bored and tired of it. this is not the case fore this game. I like this game because I used to have other nintendo consiles and its like a blast from the past with some of the races from those games. if you are buying for children, i have a 9 year old sister and my cousins, all a little younger, had trouble racing and beating levels, but they had a blast playing the other mini games on this game. This game is deffinatly great for everyone.

Mario Kart for wii is great. You can race up to 4 of your friends in your room, or around the world with Wifi connection. The steering is fairly good but can be a bit off at times. The wifi can lag sometimes but not too much. This game is great if you like mulitplayer racing fun.
