| A '''wheelie''' is a technique that can be used only on a [[bike]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Wheelies slightly increase the speed of the player's bike, but if the player bumps into an object or opponent while performing one, it cancels and the player loses speed. The player also drops any items deployed out. Also, the speed increase comes at the cost of reduced handling, and turning while performing a wheelie slows down the player substantially. Wheelies fail if the player tries to perform one without moving, or if the player is moving too slowly. | | A '''Wheelie''' is a technique that can only be used on a [[Bike]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

| In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', wheelies have been removed altogether, and they cannot be performed by the player at will. However, during certain boosts, racers who are riding bikes perform a purely cosmetic wheelie.
| | Depending on the player's controller, a '''wheelie''' is activated accordingly: |
| | *Using the [[Wii Wheel]], flip it up. |
| | *Using the [[Classic Controller]], press up on the {{button|wii|Pad}} |
| | *Using the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] controller, press up on the {{button|gcn|Pad}} |
| | *Using the [[Wiimote]] and [[Nunchuk]], lift the Wiimote up. |
|
| |
|
| Depending on the player's controller, a wheelie is activated accordingly:
| | To end them: |
| *[[Wii#Wii Wheel|Wii Wheel]] – Lift controller up | | *Wii Wheel: Push down. |
| *[[Wii#Classic Controller|Classic Controller]] – Press {{button|wii|Padup}} | | *Classic Controller: Press down on the {{button|wii|Pad}} |
| *[[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Controller|Nintendo GameCube Controller]] – Press {{button|gcn|Padup}} | | *Gamecube Controller: Press down on the {{button|gcn|Pad}} |
| *{{button|wii|Wiimote}}[[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] / {{button|wii|Nunchuk}}[[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] – Lift Wii Remote up | | *Wiimote and Nunchuk: Push Wiimote down. |
|
| |
|
| To stop a wheelie:
| | In addition, [[drifting]] can cancel a wheelie. |
| *[[Wii#Wii Wheel|Wii Wheel]] – Lower controller
| |
| *[[Wii#Classic Controller|Classic Controller]] – Press {{button|wii|Paddown}}
| |
| *[[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Controller|Nintendo GameCube Controller]] – Press {{button|gcn|Paddown}}
| |
| *{{button|wii|Wiimote}}[[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] / {{button|wii|Nunchuk}}[[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] – Lower Wii Remote
| |
|
| |
|
| In addition, [[drift]]ing cancels a wheelie.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | *The wheelie can be used to avoid the effects of [[POW Blocks]], by timing it at a certain point. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *A wheelie can be used to avoid the effects of [[POW Block]]s, by timing it at a certain point. Players still drop their items, however. Although [[kart]]s cannot perform wheelies, they can also avoid POW Blocks by using the same controls as wheelies (lifting the Wii Remote or pressing {{button|Padup}}).
