Mario Kart Wii is the sixth title in the Mario Kart series (discounting Mario Kart Arcade GP and its sequel). It is the Wii installment of the series and was originally announced at E3 2007.

Gameplay

Mario Kart Wii features the same gameplay that has been a staple to the series. Players can choose from multiple racers with a variety of karts to choose from as well. This game also introduces an alternate vehicle in the form of motorcycles. 50cc Mode features karts, while 100cc Mode features motorcycles and 150cc Mode features both. Additionally, Miis are playable. The Mission Mode, introduced in Mario Kart DS, is also featured for the first time in a console Mario Kart game.

The game has different methods of play and comes packaged with the official Wii Wheel peripheral, although it can also be played with any of the Wii's other controllers. The game is Wi-Fi enabled (like Mario Kart DS), but it also allows for Battle Mode to be played online, a first in the series. A Mario Kart Wii Channel was also opened to keep track of world records.
