Now, you may have read the title of this and wondered how a DS version of Mario Kart could be better then a Wii version, which has: better graphics, more tracks, more characters and more items.
IT'S NOT.
Now, in Mario Kart DS every racer had a racecar that was exclusive to that character and that was an awesome step in the Mario Kart Franchise. Now, Mario Kart Wii gets RID of that so every character only has the same Karts that everyone else in that division (light, medium and heavy) has. This just gives the game a rushed and lazy feel and because of this all the new characters don't really feel new at all, they just feel like everyone else in that division.
Now, even though Mario Kart Wii has a rushed and lazy feel it can still be pretty fun sometimes. It's a blast if you have some friends that you can play with but its a real shame that they don't implement Wii Speak into online as this is a real missed out opportunity.
So, overall Mario Kart Wii can be fun if this is your first Mario Kart but if you are really excited for the brand new Mario Kart on the Wii because you have all the other Mario Karts (which was in my case) you might feel dissapointed.
