- 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.

Unlock Tracks/Cups in Mariokart Wii
- Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a very good game for younger children - e.g., 5yrs, but they can become addicted to it.
How to open the new cups/tracks may be obvious to some people but not to me - an old geezer. The instructions are useless explaining that "More cups become available as you progress through the game." We have been playing it regularly now for months in VS mode, no change in cups being open.
To open new tracks/courses in MarioKart you need to open the four remaining cups that are initially indicated by question marks.
To do so, you must race in "Grand Prix" mode and obtain cups (not sure if gold is necessary) by racing and obtaining a winning (not sure if placing 2nd, third is sufficient) point total over four races of the initial race tracks.
It seems that combinations of cups are required in the same class (e.g., 50CC.) We had combinations of cups in different classes which seemed to not open up the new cups. The cup combinations had to be across the same class to open the new courses.
The 50CC class seems to be the easiest to win cups with and open up the new courses. That said, I still had to concentrate on Ghost Valley by sitting close to the TV and watching the top view of the course in order to place second.
If you open up the new tracks, you will be able to then vote on the new courses in the different cups when playing in the Wifi mode. The new courses are a refreshing change after playing the initial 16 tracks over and over again.
I would hope in the future, after exhausting all the current tracks, Nintendo will let us download different tracks using Wii points as well.
This game is fun for both adults and children. Highly recommended over MarioGalaxy for younger children as they learn to be in control on their own over time. MarioGlaxy is for older kids.
FUN!

I was very lucky to be able to purchase one of these games since the WII doesn't seem to have a high stock when awesome games come out! If you love mario kart, this one is a nice addition! It is probably my favorite Wii game to date and the wheel adds a new level of difficulty. I suggest new users get used to the wheel because it is fun, but if it's too much i suggest buying a classic controller, its much easier to beat the harder levels and earn secrets! A must own for WII owners...you can play online with friends as well!

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
