Game play: Mario kart was a kart racing game who came out a long time ago on the Nintendo 64 later mario kart came out on the gamecube then the ds and now on the wii. The funest part of playing this game on the wii is that you can use the steering wheel and the AI is more challenging. You get to play 50cc 100cc and 150cc you need to win every race in first place if possible if you want to beat the game you get allot of old and new characters and cool little and big karts. The new unlockable on this mario game is the motorcycles that they added you can do wheelies and flips.. In Nintendo Wi-Fi connection you can play against the best players worldwide or just regional around country`s you can play up to 12 players in a match.The thing that sucks is the cheats some people win without even racing they might find secret passages to finish faster. Overall the game is long enough i wasn`t expecting to beat the game in about 5 hours of gameplay if you beat only 50cc you can still beat the other things like 100cc andor more cars. The 150cc and mirror mode to unlock more characters game itself is pretty entertaining because you have more boost and you can perform tricks on jumps like backflips frontflips and allot of cool maneuvers. In single-player you can play grand-prix,versus,time trial, and battle. In grand prix you beat the races move on to new maps and unclock characters. Versus play with AI computers to team up races. Time trial my favorite option...get the best time to beat the top number one rankings in the world.
Graphics: For a wii game the graphics are pretty amasing I think the effects are pretty realistic. I think this game could have better sound effects for some of the characters who screem everytime they jump like daisy or funky kong their annoying.
Sound: The music and the sound overall is great its just like the good old mario kart games exept better.
Controls : The controls in mario kart are simple you need to start single-player before trying online so that you get the hang of it first. Like in double-dash you can drift with the B button once its blue that means that your drift is amasing...when your drift is yellow that means that if you let go you get a big boost. Automatic allows you to turn curves quickly but this option does not have mini boost wich is sometimes boring but in manual transmission i find the karts and bikes hard to drive.
I just dont like that only a few maps from mario kart 64 are on mario kart wii.
This game is in one of my top 10 Wii games
