 Good but with Fist Smash Frustrations June 25, 2010

I find this game fun but incredibly frustrating. You can be winning a game and an invincible blue shell will blow you up resulting in you finishing dead last. While playing against the cpu you will start to become keenly aware that there is an almost unfair distribution of question mark boxes. Your opponents will get the missile more often than you. Unlocking some of the bikes takes hundreds of playing hours. Racing the ghosts will make you smash things with rage due to the hax styles that some other players used to get through snow drifts and other obstacles. Things that slow you down somehow don't slow them down.
More than anything is the overall mood this game produces. It's rewards you for pulling the rug out from your opponent. The online part is like going to a gambling casino meaning that you break even at best.
 Great Fun for All... unless your racing Yoshi ; ) June 22, 2010

My boyfriend and I really enjoy this game. I am far from a 'gamer' but really enjoy playing with him. It's cute but challenging and we laugh a lot. It takes some coordination but if you are in good spirits, you will have a blast. Definitely good fun!! I recommend the wheel if you purchase it used.
Brought better meaning to "Family Night" June 13, 2010

This game is sooooooo cooool. I originally had the ds version and loved that. Since then Nintendo has come out with a Wii version. When Dad bought the Wii, he also brought Wii Sports Resort and the Mario Kart Wii. Every night we will play at least four sets. Add this to your Mario collection.
Game for Daily Use June 13, 2010

My boyfriend and I (both 25) play this game on a daily basis. This is a fun game to play individually to unlock levels, characters and vehicles. It's also fun on multiplayer or online. We love the competition. There is enough to keep us busy and continuing to improve, but it's also easy enough for my mom and grandmother to play as well. I am very impressed by this game!
 Great unless you want to play online June 11, 2010

This game is Fun!!! It is fun to play by yourself, it is fun to play against family and friends, and it used to be fun to play online against others. But, the online game is now overrun by so called 'hackers' (there may actually be 2 people who actually know how to create a cheat code, but thousands of brats who use them and think they are elite because they know how to read a message board) who now use cheat codes to torment normal players. You can't play more than 3 races or battles online before someone starts cheating and ruining the fun and challenge of the online game.
You would think Nintendo would do something, and maybe they half-heartedly tried, to stop the rampant cheating, but obviously they just don't care about this game now. This is evidenced by the fact that they won't publish any online responses in regards to cheating and if you call or email them, they say cheating is a part of life and we should just turn off the game if we encounter cheaters.... I would beware any Nintendo "Wi-Fi" game because of this attitude, maybe they will release this game on the X-Box.
