Game Features:
- 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 favourite 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.

Special Powers/Weapons/Moves/Features
Whether racing around an obstacle-filled track or battling in an arena, drifting and tossing items are the keys to Mario Kart success.

Fun:
For the fun, the multi player possibilities on and off-line, the great looks of the game, the playability, the controls either with or without the motion sensor controls you just can't fault this game. It really is incredible, seriously if you own a wii you should have this and if you don't why don't you.
I bought a few extras after a few go's of Mario Kart:
I got the wii wheel that came with this, a couple of Racing Wheel (Wii) - Wii Remote Not Included as they are a great price and really work well and just got a CTA Wii Inflatable Racing Kart with Steering Wheel - Motion Plus Compatible (Wii) which my kids love, so will be ordering another soon I reckon. (Updated a couple of weeks later, got another one! :) If you need a charger for the 4 player multi playing, I have the Nyko Charge Station Quad and 4 x Rechargeable NiMH Batteries (Wii)and it works well (updated 6 months later, still has not lost charge and still works well) it's bit more expensive than some chargers out there, but I have tried one of the cheaper ones in the past and was not as solid, felt a bit cheap.

Fun:
I brought this game plus an extra wheel for my boyfriends 31st birthday last year and we played it pretty much non-stop for 6 months! Having the wheel makes all the difference as it feels like your driving! We also have our wii connected to our wireless which meant we could play with people all over the world and that was ACE! The graphics are great and it really is suitable for ALL ages! Buying that game really was worth the price for so such fun!

Fun:
Got this game from Amazon for 20.99 brand new (it seems to have increased appreciably in price since 24.12.2010), and it has been great fun to play for all the family. The only problem is you might not be able to stop playing it, even late at night, and kids I should think would be very difficult to prise away from it. It has, as it says, a wii wheel, which I think is necessary for maximum ease of driving and enjoyment. There are, at the outset four different Grand Prix cups to compete for, but as you improve the game unlocks hidden Grand Prix and new drivers. The instructions with the pack I got, however, are in every language except English, so if you want to find out how to slide round corners and benefit from tips about speed enhancement you'll really have to go on line.
