3,2,1 GO!
With Mario Kart Wii it’s the first time you can play a Mario Kart game with a ‘real’ steering wheel. You place your Wii Remote in the Wii Wheel and you’re ready to go. Major changes from the predecessor include motorbikes and support for up to twelve racers. Mario Kart Wii features 24 selectable characters, more than any of its predecessors. You can display your driving skills on a total of 32 tracks, 16 new and 16 remakes of tracks from previous Mario Kart games.

Grand Prix Mode
There are several game modes to choose from. First and foremost is the Grand Prix mode. In a series of Grand Prix Cups you race against computer-controlled characters. Each Cup you can choose between 50cc, 100cc and 150cc. This determines the difficulty of the race and the kind of vehicle you can drive. In the 50cc you only drive go-karts, in 100cc only motorbikes and in 150cc you can drive both.
