Mario Kart Has Finally Hit the Wii, and it is a BLAST!
Single Player - Everybody knows how frustrating the computer may get in the 150 cc races in every Mario Kart. This remains the same, but it is fun. A lot of people have been "bombing" on Mario Kart because of the Blue Shells. We hate them, its true. But how happy are you when you are in second and you see the first peron get nailed with one. That is the way that you got to look at it.

Graphics - Over the last couple of months, the Wii has been show a lot of potential for graphics, and this continues on with Mario Kart Wii. Very nice and Colorful graphics were put into this game, and even a sun glare while coming around some corners was a nice touch. Some character models look blocky, but that not really what you look at when it comes down to it. Textures and level design are really nice and really show Nintendo's power.

WiFi Connection - This just makes the game so much better. By far the best Wifi game for the Wii, and sets a new bar for more games. The Versus mode start you off with 5000 points and a white Wii wheel [If you use the wheel]. As you start placing higher in higher you get more points and a different ranking such as a gold wheel. In battle mode you can have up to 12 players also, and playing on some of the coolest courses and some retro ones too. Snaking is gone now which is a plus and makes it a more fun experience for everyone else. You may have heard that it evens it out for the beginners to catch up. This is not true because the better racers, snaking or not, are going to win.

Characters - Not really much to say here. There is up to twentyfive characters including a spot for your Miis. You start off with a decent 12 and work your way up to unlock new characters and karts. A lot of fun even though some may seem a little random.

Level Design - Last but not least is level desing because what is racing without a good course? Some of the courses are just brilliant and a lot of fun to play. The jumps are a nice touch and really can save you @$$ when you get out of control. Another thing is the retro courses. They still have the old-school feel to them but they have a new touch which is really nice. These courses such as Bowsers Castle, DK Summit, and Maple Treeway, are the best thought out tracks I have ever seen.

Overall this game is stellar, a must have for anyone with a wii the controls, graphics, courses and everything about it is great. See you on the tracks. Anyone wanting to add me for Wifi is more than welcome my code is in my blog and tell me if you are going to add me.
