- The wheel is cute
- Bikes are fun
- Baby Peach needs to die
- The mall course is BY FAR my favorite
- Blue shells and lightning bolts almost ruin this game
- Feels too much like Double Dash, did they lose the source code to Mario Kart 64?
- Mario Kart DS officially sucks JJ throw it away
- We shall settle this dispute over a game of Mario Kart Wii 3265-5461-8832
*call me*

I actually like playing with the Wii wheel. Once or twice I felt it wasn't as responsive as it could have been, but it is fun.

I just played Worldwide for like an hour. I haven't had this much fun with an online game since Outrun 2.

It sort of shows that Nintendo at least sort of cares about what people think of their final product these days.

Are any of you using the motion controls?

Does it feel as awkward as people have been saying?

Also, JJ is right: Mario Kart DS is the best iteration of the series. I love that game.

I used the wheel for a while, then switched to the classic controller which is much more precise to me. But the wheel is a nice distraction from the regular controls.

It looks like fun. Not enough fun for me to stop playing COD4 and pick up a Wii, but fun. I read that you can unlock the ability to use your Mii, which is also neat.

The wheel itself is awkward, but the motion controls work better than I thought they would. I'm used to the feeling, since honestly, I LOVED Excitetruck, and it's pretty much identical to that in terms of control, just a little more precise.

Nintendo needs to fucking stop with the baby characters. Why not just make Mario Kart Babies at this point?

Okay, now that I had to return it I definitely miss it. Online mode is mad fun with friends. I played my co-worker and her boyfriend last night. We have this inside joke where I absolutely loathe Waluigi (which is no joke, mind you) so she continuously picked him just to throw salt in my wounds about it. I shoved a couple red shells up her rear end as payback.
Have to wait until May 3rd to play it again. :-(

The online is sooo much fun. No cheaters (yet), no snaking, and it's fun seeing all those Miis. If only it had voice chat.

Still not sure what to think of this one. Lightning bolts, blue shells, and the fucking POW block ruin the game. Even worse the lightning has essentially been doubled with that stupid cloud thing. And all that shit is pretty much unavoidable unless you just so happen to have a star. This game is broken.

If it weren't for the fact that you can turn off power items in multiplayer, I would've placed the disc in my driveway and driven over it with my car. Their raping of battle mode is totally unredeemable. This installment is still pretty fun, but there's no way I can rank this above Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64.

At my birthday we were taking turns rotating 4-player multiplayer. Great fun, no doubt about it. Battle Mode felt kind of boring though so we quickly jumped back into the VS mode. I'm glad it still has the award ceremony at the end.
Lightning/pow/blue shell gets annoying as hell though. I'm able to recover most of the time but I've yet to get into 150CC...and I hear it gets ridiculous there.
Bikes are a cool addition to the game. Haven't figured out tricks yet.
And I randomly unlocked the the Galaxy girl after turning on the console one day. I have no idea what I did.

POW BLOCK LIGHTNING BOLT BLUE SHELL RED SHELL DAISY KNOCKS YOU OFF THE TRACK LOL
The game is so much better if you turn off power items in multiplayer.

I pretty much never get screwed in Mario Kart unless it's the track itself, like those retarded mushrooms you're supposed to jump on. I can't fucking get that shit down

Well you probably won't encounter the cheating AI and unbalanced items if you muddle around in the 50cc kiddie pool all day.

I don't, I pretty much focus on 100 and 150cc. 50cc is slow and boring. I couldn't make it through one race.

50cc is so fucking slow, but 150cc just gang rapes you with items. It's ridiculous.
