| 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.

| 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''.

| * Even if the player is not using the wheel and only the Wii remote held sideways on Mario Kart Wii, it will still show a wheel.
