The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

Mario Kart wii is a great game. If you're a fan of all the old Nintendo series (Super Mario, Mario Party...) you will definitely want to buy this game. Its a great game to sit around with some friends and play. The inclusion of the wii wheel is a great deal, and yes, it does make a difference whether you use it or not. A lot of the old maps are included, as well as my favorite battle map, sky scrapper. Although there isn't much of a difference between this and double dash, besides the multiplayer and motion controls, it's still a must buy.
What's great about it: Wii wheel, many maps including retro maps, wifi and local multiplayer
What's not so great: Nothing much to make it stand out from the other mario karts
