If you liked the older mario kart games then this one will be right up your alley. It has some of the features its predecessors had such as the different power ups like the mushroom and red/green turtle shells. It also has new things... like jumping on and off a huge mushroom thats part of the course, choosing a car or a bike to drive, and new power ups.
Supports 1-4 players. You can play on the internet. Different modes of gameplay. New characters to play as. Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Waluigi, and Koopa Troopa. I may have missed one as I dont have the game in front of me.
Overall, Im very happy with this game. Happy racing!

Let me explain...you play the single player mode so you can get some vehicles and experience so when you play online you don't get ran off the road. Then you play online for the rest of the time you have the game. Very Intense online with a point system that keeps you coming back for more. Bought this game when it first came out and still playing. Never run outta new ways to win! HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE GAME!

First off, let me just say I am a huge Mario Kart fan and Nintendo is very good at what they do. I've played every Mario Kart game there is to play at this point in time. Mario Kart wii is a good game and one of my favorites and should definitely be on any Nintendo gamesters list of collectibles. The game has a bunch of brand new courses never before seen in the series, and also refreshes some of the nostalgia by adding some old mario kart tracks from all the mario kart games made so far. they are titled as the Nitro cups, mushroom, flower, star, and special and also has the retro cups shell, bannana, leaf, and the lightning cup. one of the coolest things I've found so far is the more options you get under the rules menu, such as the ability to change the items to none, strategic, bannanas, boosts, single shells, etc. Those two things the rules mode and the retro nitro tracks were added in mario kart ds with the exception of the item rule. However, You don't get to have the rules option in grand prix, so you'll get cheap shotted alot. In all honesty, though not much wass added that makes it any more awesome that it is. it's just another mario kart game. I'ts an awesome game though. One of my biggest gripes has to do with the director of the mario kart franchise. The saying that say's mario kart is a fun game and we always want to implement ways of how the player can have fun interacting with another player or players. the connection of people to people. Well theres something wrong here and it definitely doesn't fit the discription at all. The grand prix mode is a single player experience, meaning this. You have to sit down all by yourself in order to get all the Karts and unlockable all the while getting cheap shotted and blowed to bits by all the cheap computers. It's fun in multiplayer but in the Grand prix, its just flat out annoying. Also wheres that person-to-Person play thats happened in most of the mario karts. Mario kart ds didnt have the option either. Mario Kart Double Dash was awesome because you could have 4 people help you earn things, not only that it wasn't the same old slap of butter on the same old slab of bread that I have every morning. Every Mario Kart is the same thing now nothing intricately new or amazing. Another thing that bugs the crud out of me is the 4 added racers. Instead of 8 racers like its been in every other Mario Kart game, It's 12 now which raises the cheapness to a whole new level. This Mostly pertains to the single player Grand Prix mode, as such in vs mode you turn the items to None or strategic. Also get this 3 new cheap items have been added. The cheapest and worst item yet, the thunder cloud. Basically you get a thunder cloud and it shocks you and your small, however you can pass it off to other karts. If you can't find another kart to rub it off, you are screwed. The pow block has also been added also pretty cheap as well. You have to be in the air to dodge, mini jumping works sometimes but I can never get it to work like once in a blue moon. The mega mushroom was also added pretty much a star. You grow big and faster and trample on all Karts in your path. Blue shells are back and cheaper than ever before. They really stepped up the cheapness in this game on these and its gotten really bad since mario kart ds. Why can't the blue shells be like the ones in mario kart 64 or in mario kart supercircuit. In Mario kart 64 or the gba mario kart it would knock out all the players in its path. here it only knocks out the first placer. Well heres my logic on this. Say your in 8th place and you get a blue shell, how the heck is it sposed to help you. It hits the first placer and oooo goody now the second placer is in first place. Or how about the fact that it can appear like 5 times in a race and well your about 5 seconds from the finish line, and you get mega screwed. It seriously begs an explanation. Speaking of 8th place Oh here comes pow block, Oh here comes golden mushroom, Oh here comes a star, Oh here comes a mega mushroom, oh here comes a lightning cloud, Oh man watch those red shells. Just man in the grand Prix if your in like those few places your goin to get a bajillion items thrown in your face. Another major complaint about this game details the above info it is a luck fest, which is dumb. The bikes also just were a crappy addition. Lets just talk about the cheapest most overrated bike here, the legendary moc bike. It is just overpowered as heck. It is the cheapest, usable form of transportation in a Mario kart game. No exaggerations here. Also I feel this mario kart just is't as easy to pick up and play as older mario kart games are. A brand new power sliding teqnique has been implemented, to prevent the snaking form of sliding in mario kart ds which is amazing. But it can be difficult to get used to. Most people I've played Mario kart with mostly Mario kart ds, You can literraly not powerslide the entire time and have fun as such most of the people that I play with don't know how to powerslide. It's hard to do that in Mario kart wii as turning is incredibly delayed and If I didn't powerslide, I'd lose. There are two different methods used in Mario Kart wii. Automatic mode which is mainly to get the cheapness out of the bikes to cut turns rediculously hard. I also consider it to be a good beginner option, because you can turn alot better, it's still sluggish but you ca turn. One of the problems I find here is you cant jump. Why is that? Some courses you have to jump on or you'll go incredibly slow. For example, shy guy beach has a bunch of puddles and if you don't jump them you'll go slower. Manual mode is more Kart driven and allows you to powerslide and jump and turn rediculously slow. It's a lot different than others. Basically you turn and instead of wacking the control stick from side to side, you hold it in the opposite direction. Good feature implemented to prevent snaking, I'll give it that much. Also, I feel that its much slower pace than previous Mario karts. I feel like im going 10 mph. Mario kart 64 is the fastest paced, I have to say. For those who have played Mario kart 64, You'll know what I mean. It's not bad to be slow paced but its just a minor inconvience. Same thing with smash bros. brawl. In smash bros. melee was really fast, but in smash bros braw its sluggish. It's not that Mario Kart wii is a bad game because it isn't. There are just a bunch of things that annoy the ...... out of me. Overall its a good game to play and I'll pop it in every once in awhile. Definitely add this one to your list of wii games.
