How many of you actually remember the earliest version of the game??? I beat my dad, sis, then my younger bro – hell I even beat my girl on our first date when it came to Contra and Mario!! You know it’s the type of game that makes you proud to be pretty darn good and then in turn you flaunt it and then finally you show off and that boasts your ego to such an extent you feel like your on cloud number nine.

This time around Mario Kart Wii comes with the intuitive Wii Wheel, which makes it easy for novices to compete against the dumbass’ who couldn’t beat you on the first time round’ – See See!! I’m still boasting with all egos running wild!!! With a broadband hookup to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, players can compete with up to 11 other drivers from around the world for racing dominance. The game includes 16 new courses and 16 classic courses from previous Mario Kart games.

What makes this edition special is the fact that for the first time ever, players have the option of racing with either karts or motorbikes. Players can also hit the road as their personalized Mii caricatures in addition to the handful of classic Nintendo characters found in the game. Keeping to the spirit of Mario, the game features tons of racing, plenty of power-ups and oodles of objects for players to use to slow down other drivers add to that ten battles arenas to keep players busy between trips around the circuit. Mario Kart Wii supports four different control options: Wii Remote with or without the Wii Wheel, Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller combo, Classic Controller and even the Nintendo GameCube controller – A little the creators did to suit everyones style. Mario Kart Wii launches with a new channel added to the Wii Menu to enhance game play: The Mario Kart Wii Channel. This new channel builds on the online community of Wii owners and lets players compete in tournaments, check worldwide rankings, see when their friends are playing and download ghost data.

Which brings me to my next point – This game is getting to be complicated and I’m nowhere on the rankings – hell!! I’m not even in the first ten – So much for Mario being just another game!!!
