Fast paced kart action and unforgettable characters was the reason why we loved Mario kart on the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) back in the old days. Created in 1992 the world as we know it changed when Mario rode a go-kart on his way to the finish line. Mario and the others take to the karts and sprint to the finish line with a smooth glide on the race tracks, and this is just simply amazing for a kid who sees his favorite character in a different light. Now players will be able to relive those moments by playing the latest version of Super Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii. Packed with all new features, online gaming and tricks featured this game will surely bring the racer in you and in the whole family.
One new feature is the availability of motorcycles and dirt bikes in alternate for the go-karts. With the use of the Wii Remote, players can actually execute mid-air stunts like the ones we see at a motocross rally. Motion control is now the basics of the gameplay. Instead of toggling, by just flicking the Wii remote after the player has left the ground with a ramp assisted jump, you can now make a 360 degree spin in which upon completion gives you quite a speed boost on landing. Motorcycles provide a great alternative to karts. The Grand Prix Mode is the sole event in the game when the player can compete with 11 other computer controlled characters in 32 different courses of which half are new.
To allow you to use the full advantage of the motion sensing abilities of the Wii, this game comes with a steering wheel controller shell for the best gaming possibilities. It takes some time though to get used to, but eventually will feel natural and is very responsive to the players movements. However if you're not up to the duty of maneuvering the analog stick there will always be the Wii Remote or Nunchuk, Classic Controller, or also GameCube Controller schemes with the directional button and pads that work quite well.
As this is a weapons-based-go-kart genre game, there will be lots of new items available for use to the players in order to outwit their opponents. Some of the items are even more dangerous and maps have been improved with even more pits and strategic planning that will surely affect gameplay. The fundamentals have not been changed but the inclusion of drifting is now a major aspect of the game. The type of vehicle is also a factor on whether drifting will be successful or not.
With Wii online capabilities players can now compete with friends and family, matching up score and time laps. Using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connect you will be able to play matches online with 12 other players with a maximum of two per system. The game features 25 characters half of which must be unlocked through various game accomplishments. Outstanding musical scores and a simplistic gameplay, Mario Kart proves to be as FUN as EVER!
