Wheelie good game, go kart it home

Advantages: Upto 4 players and 2 players online
Disadvantages: Need upto 4 remotes

...a little icon of a letter inviting you when you are on the Mario Kart channel. There are some tracks which look similar to the DS version there are some from SNES and N64 and a lot of new ones including a mine track if you have an old Nintendo like me and played Donkey Kong Country and travelled on the mines you will like this as you race on a mine track, there are bats in here which spin you off and you can also fall off the edge and be out of the game for a while while your car is recovered by crane and put back on the track. There is a beach track with crabs that you have to try and avoid and do not go too deep into the water as you will sink and need to be recovered. Also a snowy track with penguins which you must avoid, also snow deep in places and you can get stuck in the snow, if you fall into the icy water you are retrieved...

My Go Kart Driving Tips

Advantages: Total adrenalin rush
Disadvantages: Sore behind

.... If I am the trailing driver, I try to keep my eyes and concentration on the gap around the kart ahead. The further ahead I apply my focus, the more successful of a driver I?ve noticed I have become. I try to think of it like a game of pool or golf; where you always need to look ahead to your next shot by trying to leave a good lie. In karting, I need to think ahead to what gaps might be available. I focus on the gaps and take control with my driving skills. In short , to achieve this depth perception and keen awareness, these are the steps that must be followed: ? Have the right posture. I sit upright with my head firm and high so I am always looking ahead. ? Look around the corner further than usual. I Look at where I want my kart to go. I do not focus on the kart ahead of me. ? Focus on the apex ? the end of the track?s loop...

Mi and my Wii Kart

Advantages: Super family game
Disadvantages: Too addictive !!!

... MARIO KART ON Wii INTRODUCTION Mario Kart for Wii is a game that is perfect for anyone and everyone ? it is recommended from age 3+ and the fun doesn?t deteriorate as the player gets older, in fact from my experiences the older the player the more fun they have!! It is a simple game to understand that is based on using a Car Wheel (Wii Wheel) and turning the Wheel to turn your car or bike The idea is the same as any race game - to finish first. The difference is that in Mario Kart you can pick up items that can hinder your opponent or give you advantages. It's a game that parents can play with their children, children can play by themselves, or parents can play late night together ? ideal with a group of friends. WHAT YOU GET In the package you get 1 X Mario Kart Game with Wii Stars 1...

Mario Kart Wheeeeeeeee!!!

Advantages: Gameplay, graphics, audio, longevity, value for money, difficulty, multiplayer, Wi-Fi
Disadvantages: None

...Mario Kart Wii is a edition to the popular series of games, Mario Kart. The game started way back in 1992, when Super Mario Kart for the SNES was released, a lot has changed but will Mario Kart Wii be a great edition? ~~~ CONTROLS ~~~ In my opinion, the controls for Mario Kart Wii are very simple. you hold down 2 on the Wii-mote to go, 1 is Brake/Drift. turn the Wii-mote to stear, up on the D-pad to throw and item forwards and down to throw it back. If you choose a Manual car, you hold down B/1 to drift. ~~~ CHARACTERS ~~~ I think that MKW has lots of characters that you can play as, and that It's good if racing games have lots of characters you can play as, these characters are: Mario Luigi Peach Daisy Bowser Dry Bowser Dry Bones Donkey Kong Funky Kong Mii Baby Mario Baby Luigi Baby Peach Baby Daisy King Boo...

Kart Shaped Love

Advantages: New tricks, Bikes and a tonne load of things to do
Disadvantages: The team setting is a bit of a pain

...Glitter On the Mattress So, my weekend did not exactly go to plan. For those of you who were unaware, my plan was to stay in, play Mario kart and sleep. More fun for me, though, I (as was kind of expected) ended up in the pub, making for much fun times and lots of kissing (don't worry, it's the guy I had the failed date with. I'm not just a tart). Then my ex came over to stay the day after. Ok, so maybe I AM a LITTLE bit of a tart monster. Oops. Obviously the sleeping part of the plan went completely out of the window for various reasons I shall leave to your imagination. As much as I totally skewed off the path of my well laid plan, I managed to skip back onto it for a few merry hours in the form of kicking my ex's ass at Mario kart. Oh the sweet joy. This is what I shall be telling you about today. The Kart, not the ass...

Mario Kart Wheeeee!!!!

Advantages: Great online play, fun
Disadvantages: Powerups are better if you are towards the back of the race

...--Introduction-- The original Mario Kart first appeared on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) back in the early 1990's. Since then, Nintendos famous plumber and his gang have appeared on every Nintendo format and now its time for them to make their appearance on the Wii. For those of you new to the series, Mario Kart consists of racing over 32 tracks which are broken down into batches of 4, meaning there are 8 cups to win. These cups exist at 3 levels, namely 50cc (easy), 100cc (medium), 150cc (hard), for the first time in a Mario Kart game you are able to ride motorcycles adding a new dimension to the game. Also a first is the introduction of online play which really brings the game on. --Controls -- The game comes packaged with the Wii wheel which basically is a plastic shell in which the Wii remote sits. This...

My latest addiction - Mario Kart Wii

Advantages: fun, great single and multiplayer options, can play online against randoms or friends
Disadvantages: battle mode is rubbish, expensive

..., which in a couple of cases I do feel are too complicated as you spend more time falling off the track than actually racing on it! Although I do feel that the extra features of the tracks make the game more exciting. Traditional racing games with clear tracks bore me to tears but with Mario Karts there are jumps, boost panels, things to avoid etc and this adds to the fun. My youngest brother is 9 and loves the bright interesting designs of many of the tracks, a couple he finds too hard to co-ordinate on but still shows some determination so they aren?t wasted on him. One slightly negative point here is that because the tracks are very detailed, it can make it hard to work out where you need to go at times, especially when playing on a split screen where you have to look quite carefully to work out which way to go...

Mario Kart

Advantages: Safe internet use, lots of courses, free wheel.
Disadvantages: Same courses as old games.

...Game Basics Mario Kart on the Wii is the greatest game out on the Wii as yet. It is a basic racing game where the aim is to come first. The game comes with a steering wheel which you simply just click your Wii Remote into before playing the game. Of course, you don't have to have the wheel to play, you can just use the Wii Remote by itself so if you only have one wheel but four Wii remotes, you can still play with four people. Characters The game features all the famous Mario characters including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach & Toad to name but a few. There is also Baby Mario & Baby Peaches who are just the cutest. There are about twelve characters you can choose to be, each having three motorbikes and three cars to race in each. Multiplayer Options The multiplayer options for this game are fantastic. You can play...

Mario Kart Wiihoo

Advantages: Fun to play, variety of courses and characters
Disadvantages: difficult to play at first

...Unlike most racing games this is really really fun and unique, mario kart allows you to select your character from a wide range, some that have to be won in races in one player mode, and even play as your mii! There is a massive selection of tracks to choose, ranging from easy, such as mario circuit to very difficult, rainbow road., meaning that there is a level of difficulty for everyone. You can either choose to play against your friends in multi-player mode, battle com in one player, or connect to the internet and race against hundreds of people around the world. In single player you have to race each track at 50, 100 and 150cc to complete the game, getting more difficult as you go on as your opponents become faster and the tracks get harder. With two different driving options, one using the nunchuk and the other just the wii remote...

Suddenly I Feel Like Go-Karting.. with Shells

Advantages: Free online play is incredible and loads of replay value.
Disadvantages: You need to buy a Wi-Fi adapter to play online.

...Never been go-karting? You don't need to have to appreciate Mario and pals going around a track, in fact not having any experience might incline you to take on board the fact that in this go-karting race you can fire shells at opponents and use mushrooms to get a boost past other racers. Hey, what would gaming be without a little unrealism? Ok. A lot. If you have ever experienced a Mario Kart game don't feel like you've seen it all already because this is simply the best Mario Kart game ever, and quite easily my favourite Nintendo DS game. I think I'll start at what I feel is the best aspect of the game, and that is the online play. You can race against people you know, or people you don't. I can't imagine the amount of people I must have raced (and beaten, might I add) from around the globe. An online race can hold 2...
