This is a great Version of Mario Kart but a lot of the negative aspects mentioned here are sadly true. There is a strange balance issue that always gives your opponents an advantage especially when you are doing exceptionally well. The battle mode is pretty bad, it would be much better if you could customize the experience as much as you can in Smash Brothers for example. All that being said if you have a Wii you should own this game because it is great to play with your friends online and at home.

    Este juego es una puta mierda llena de motos y polladas, lo mejor que podeis hacer es usar la caja cual posavasos y el disco para jugar con el perro... si quereis jugar al mario kart, el de SNES o el de GC

    I have always liked Nintendo the most, but I simply cannot give Kudos to this game even with playing Mario Kart since the SNES.

    Mario Kart was always plagued with cheapness, whenever you're in the lead or near it, you're items from the item tiles/boxes are something weak like a green shell. If you're in last place or near it, you'll get an item so powerful it could make you end-up in 1st place in mere seconds.

    On Mario Kart Wii, this seems to happen ALOT more and more severely. This may…

    Love the options and the playability. Wish it had more co-op mode like double dash and more unlockable characters. Great game though, one of my favorites of all time.

    I enjoy the Mario Kart series a lot. They are normally fun and rather crazy, but overall enjoyable. The Wii update of this game I felt wasn't as fun. There were still the crazy boxes of random attacks and the colorful tracks, but it seems to move much slower then say Double Dash or the DS version. Also, I didn't think that the Wii wheel was needed and that actually using the Wiimote as a steering wheel wasn't responsive enough, so they simplified the tracks to…

    The motion controls are fun but the computer opponents are cheap.

    Purists might baulk at the wii wheel functionality but for me this is the best iteration of mario kart and the most fun since the original

    In a nutshell, this is a dumbed down version of Mario Kart. It is essentially Mario Kart DS, but slighted "changed" or "adjusted" for more casual players. It's easier to pick up and learn, but doesn't quite have the depth that Mario Kart DS has. The motion controls work well enough, but is still inferior to traditional controls. It's still a good kart game, but ultimately feels a little on the shallow side.
