| |
| The '''Wii Wheel''' is an accessory for the [[Wii]] and was designed for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', however not included with the Wii. This wheel is included with ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The Wii Wheel is used so [[player]]s can control the characters much easier in the game. It is a steering wheel seen in cars, that players can optionally use to control the game.
| |
| | |
| One Wii Wheel is packaged with ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', but more can be bought separately.
| |
| | |
| Nyko, a company that makes Wii accessories makes their own version of the wheel similar to the steering wheel the player can see in the motor cycles in ''Mario Kart Wii''.

| ==Prototypes==
| |
| The first prototype was made because Nintendo was trying to discover the best position to put the Wii Remote. Since they couldn't decide where the B Button would be used, there was nothing on the back. For the second prototype, they examined real go-kart wheels, and they discovered that they are usually more square than round. The third prototype was the basis for the final Wii Wheel. This prototype had a window for using the Wii Menu, and had a hole for the B Button. The fourth prototype had a B Button in the Wii Wheel itself, so a child’s finger could reach. Finally, the fifth prototype had a two-tone color scheme. A pure white color scheme was eventually decided on to match the Wii Zapper and the Wii Balance Board. [[Kenichiro Ashida]] made two Wii Wheels to show at the ''Iwata Asks'' interview on ''Mario Kart Wii''.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Even if the player is not using the wheel and only the Wii Remote held sideways on ''Mario Kart Wii'', it will still show that a wheel is being used. This is only due to the fact that the Wii Remote cannot detect if the wheel is actually attached or not.
