Mario Kart
Mario Kart for the Wii brings all the fun of this classic Mario and friends game to the next gen console. There are old favorites, new ones, and a few Wii twists sprinkled in here and there.
There are new tracks as well as ones from Mario Kart games of the past. Some characters have returned but others haven’t. They have been replaced with new faces like Rosalina, from Super Mario Galaxy. Also you can unlock the Mii character that puts your Mii in the driver’s seat.
You can either race in karts or bikes. Both have more powerful, un-lockable upgrades throughout the game.
There will be some familiar tracks in the game from Mario Kart past like Delfino Square from the DS version, but there are also new ones to explore. The eight racing cups remain the same as in past Mario Karts and feature four tracks each. Finish first and get a good grade to unlock characters, karts, and bikes.
This is a must have for fans of Mario Kart and who doesn’t love that game? Mario Kart comes with one wheel. Additional wheels can be purchased separately for around $10. Playing with the Wii Wheel does take getting used to and is easier with certain well-rounded characters like Mario and Peach.
Mario Kart is hours of fun at our house. For us, all is fair in love and racing. What happens on the race circuit, stays on the race circuit. II never try to take it personally when my husband throws a fatal tortoise shell that costs me the victory or bumps me off the track into oblivion. I just think of the words of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt would say, “That’s racing.”
