Template:Infobox Mario Kart Wii is the latest installment of the Mario Kart series. Designed from the ground up for the Wii, a Wii Wheel is included in the package for a more realistic steering experience.

Gameplay

File:Racers.PNG
A host of racers plow through Mushroom Gorge.

In Mario Kart Wii, up to twelve players race to the finish in a multi-lap race around a given circuit. Along the way, players may employ items, horseplay, and take shortcuts to earn first place.

Also, a new feature called "Stunts" is now a large part of gameplay. When player performs a stunt, the player is able to gain a momentary boost of speed, which allows characters to do a few different things, such as grabbing an Item Box out of midair. One example of stunt is pulling off acrobatics in air, which can be performed by shaking the Wii Wheel upward.

Controlling

File:MKWiiControls.jpg
Pages 3-4 of the North American instruction booklet, providing diagrams for each type of control.

The main feature is the use of the motion sensing of the Wii Remote. By tilting the remote, players can steer their karts. Nintendo hopes to address some of the issues game critics faced with the first racing game Nintendo published for the Wii, Excitetruck, by making Mario Kart Wii compatible with the Wii Wheel. Since the Wii Remote is designed to be inserted into the Wii Wheel (as it is not an independent controller) players can also play without the Wheel. Mario Kart Wii can also be played using the Wii Remote with the Nunchuck attached, the Wii Classic Controller or the GameCube controller.

  • Accelerate: Holding the corresponding button, the kart will go forwards. Accelerating time depends on the type of the karts: Lightweight karts have a high acceleration, but low speed. Heavyweight karts tend to have a low acceleration, but a high top speed. Middleweight karts have an average top speed and acceleration
  • Steer: Steering lets drivers move around corners.
  • Brake: Braking slows the kart to a stop abruptly.
  • Reverse: The character's kart will go backwards if the user holds the brake button.
  • Look Behind: Players can look behind their kart. In this way, players can be alert from characters incoming to steal the player's place from the rear. This feature once appeared in Super Mario Kart.
  • Drift: Drivers drift to keep the kart's speed and take corners much better, with the benefit of getting mini-turbos. The feature can be set to happen automatically or when a button is held.
  • Mini-turbo: After drifting for a reasonable amount of time, varying on the vehicle used, blue sparks will erupt from the player's rear tires. Releasing the drift button gives them a short burst of speed. In a kart, players can keep drifting for longer periods to get orange sparks and a much longer boost.
  • Tricks: Players can pull off a stunt when they jump in order to gain a momentary mini-turbo. Players can perform a trick by flicking the Wii Remote or pressing the D-pad (on the GCN or Classic Controllers) in any direction when going off a ramp or hill. They do a stunt, cheer, and obtain a speed boost when landing.
  • Wheelie: Wheelies can be performed only when riding Bikes; drivers can increase their speed when they lift up the front of their bike. While the driver holds the front of the bike up, s/he can hardly turn. The wheelie can be ended by braking, drifting, or waiting for it to run out on its own.

Drifting keeps the speed and also allows a momentary boost of speed.

Modes of Play

  • Grand Prix (1 player) Get points by winning races. After 4 races the players points will be counted. The player must have the most points to win the Grand Prix. The player can unlock many things in this mode.
  • Time Trial (1 player) A solo match for the fastest time.
  • Versus (1 to 4 players, up to 12 online) Same as Grand Prix, but with custom settings.
  • Battle (1 to 4 players, up to 12 online) Play in a team and defeat the other.
  • Ghost Race (Mario Kart Channel, 1 player) Race against Ghosts of other players who are of approximately the same level as the player.
  • Tournament (Mario Kart Channel, 1 player) Compete in limited time competitions. This mode is a replacement of Mission Mode.

Note: Grand Prix mode for 50cc using Karts, 100cc using for bikes only, 150cc using for Bikes and Karts and Mirror for Bikes and Karts. By winning all the tracks in 50cc or 100cc, it's possible to play with both bikes and karts. Mirror Mode is unlockable by gaining first place on all other Grand Prixes.

There is a Battle Mode in this game. Additionally, both normal races and battles are playable online through the use of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (WFC). This is the second game in the series to utilize the WFC and the first to allow for online battles. Battles will now cater up to 12 players via Wi-Fi connection [1].

Just like Mario Kart DS, it is not possible to play Grand Prix with multiple players. Players can now only win trophies playing alone. It is possible to play Grand Prix within VS. mode. However, VS. mode won't work for unlocking new features.

It is an option to play in teams in VS. mode. Battle mode must be played in teams.

  • Balloon Battle: Get points by hitting opponents. If the player looses 3 ballons, 1 point will be discounted from the player's team.
  • Coin Runners: Get more coins than the other team.

Tournaments

Mario Kart Wii introduced a new mode for the Mario Kart Series, entitled "Tournament Mode" (also known as Competition mode in PAL versions). Tournament Mode is somewhat similar to Mission Mode from Mario Kart DS. Tournaments can be played on the Mario Kart Channel, so long as the Mario Kart Wii disc is in the Wii. Tournaments require an internet connection, and Wiiconnect24 to be on before they can be played. After a while, a tournament is retired to make room for a new one. However, the old tournament can still be viewed on the rankings table.

There are differend types of Tournaments.

  • VS. Race It's a standard race. But race courses are a bit differend than normal.
  • Coin Collecting Collect the coins as fast as possible. There is not yet a mission with this task.
  • Numberd Gates Drive as fast as possible through the gates.
  • Boss Battle Fight against a boss from Super Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Bros. Just like Mario Kart DS, these Tournaments are played on special tracks.

Here is a list of the Touraments

  • May 2008 Tournament 1 The first one was a Grand Prix-styled race on Mario Circuit with Chain Chomps running loose on the track and more Goombas.
  • May 2008 Tournament 2 The second one took place on GBA Battle Course 3, in which the player had to go through 10 gates placed around the track in order.
  • June 2008 Tournament 1 The third one, which is currently going on, is set on the stage Galaxy Colosseum, which is a battle mode stage unique to the tournament. On it, the player had to defeat four Spiky Topmen by knocking them off of the course.

Major Changes

While every previous Mario Kart game allowed for a maximum of eight racers on each course, up to twelve are on course at one time in Mario Kart Wii.

File:Yosherskart.PNG

In Mario Kart Wii, players can select twelve types of vehicles, six karts and six bikes for each of the three classes. Vehicles vary, depending on the character's weight type, and color schemes of every kart will also vary regarding to every character who is shown.

A notorious change of the game, is the removal of Snaking, which players tend to gain several consecutive mini-turbos after performing a powerslide. Performing a mini-turbo depends on how long a player can hold the button for drifting. However, there is a strategy to use drifting, something that has always kept on each Mario Kart game. This strategy involves managing the drifts to avoid losing speed.[1].

Another new way to gain speed is performing Tricks. This new feature allows to the players to make acrobatics in air in order to get a short speed burst once landed into the ground.

Motorbikes are vehicles in the game. Peach, Daisy and Rosalina are in an alternate outfit while riding the motorbike, as opposed to their traditional outfit while riding there karts. Motorbikes are better at tricks than karts.

Special Items, introduced in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, were taken out for being too unbalanced. Overall, Mario Kart Wii is based heavily on Mario Kart DS, and not on Double Dash!!.

Mario Kart Wii features a text chat in Online Multiplayer Mode. Users can send pre-written phrases to other users before the series of races starts. There is no facility for a user to type his or her own message [2]. Also, the text chat is only available when racing or battling against Friends.

In Super Mario Kart to Mario Kart Super Circuit, 5th or worse forces the player to retry the race. If the racer fares this badly three times, the Grand Prix must be started over. In Double Dash to Wii, the GP normally goes forth.

Playable Characters

A total of twelve Mario characters are available from the start, while twelve more can be unlocked for a total of twenty-four playable characters. [2]

There are three types of Characters.

  • Small: These characters ride in Small karts. They have mostly a good acceration and off-road ratio, but low top speed. By their weight, these characters can be knocked apart if they try to bump onto other kart of superior weight.
  • Medium: They ride in Middle weight karts. Most of these characters show an average acceleration, weight and off-road.
  • Large: These characters are defined by their strength, capable of banging apart other karts with low weight. They ride on Large vehicles, featuring high top speed and weight, but showing low acceleration, maneuverability, and off-road.

Vehicles

There are 36 total vehicles in the Wii installment (Here can be seen all the karts and bikes [3]). 18 karts, 18 bikes, each divided into the 3 weight classes, making 6 and 6 available to each character, 3 and 3 to begin (thus making half of the vehicles unlockables. Each has 7 stats which are shown during character selection:

  • Speed: How high the top speed of the vehicle is. This does not affect off-road travel.
  • Acceleration: How quickly the vehicle's top speed is achieved from a non-moving position.
  • Weight: How heavy a kart is. With a higher weight, the player can knock lighter characters away by ramming them. Bikes are lighter than karts.
  • Handling: How tight the kart can normally turn. Usually opposes the drift rating.
  • Drift: How tight the kart turns while using the drifting maneuver. Usually opposes the handling rating.
  • Off-Road: How much speed the kart retains when off of the track. A low rating of this can cause a near-standstill for the vehicle.
  • Mini-Turbo: When using the manual drift option, how effective a mini-boost will be.

There are six "types" of bikes and karts (as each kart has a bike with similar stats):

(Note: the type names are all conjecture. If someone has the actual names, please add them to this section.)

  • Standard: These are well-rounded and are suitable for beginners. Examples would be the Standard Kart L or Standard Bike S.
  • Speed: These are very fast and have a good drift, but have poor off-road and acceleration. Examples would be the Wild Wing or the Flame Runner.
  • Control: These are rather slow, but feature exellent control and off-road, making them mirrored to Speed vehicles. Examples would be the Booster Seat or the Sugarscoot.
  • Cruiser: These control similarly to Control types, but have more speed and off road but less acceleration and handling. Examples would be the Piranha Prowler or the Zip Zip.
  • Rally: These vehicles are almost perfectly well rounded, but have great off road in return for poor drift. Examples would be the Tiny Titan or the Shooting Star.
  • Jet: Normally unlocked later in the game, these vehicles are incredibly fast and quite heavy, but are poor in all other stats. Examples would be the Sprinter or the Jet Bubble.

The following table includes: vehicles in order of class primarily and karts first, bikes second (small karts, small bikes, medium karts, medium bikes, large karts, large bikes). The last half of each of these six sub-sections are unlockables; the right-hand column describes the requirement to unlock it: if it is a single cup, it must be simply won. Each individual statistic is generalized into the following:

very high, high, mid-high, medium, mid-low, low, very low

Two of the same color does not necessarily mean the stat is exactly equal.

Items

Mario Kart Wii includes three new items: the Mega Mushroom, the POW Block and the Thunder Cloud. Items can be earned by driving through Item Boxes on the courses, just like in previous games. Once a player has done so, an item will be selected via the Item Roulette. In general, players tend to obtain a weak item as a banana or a green shell when they come first. However, if players are in second or a lower place, obtaining a powerful item such as a red shell or a thunderbolt is more frequent. Usually, the lower the place of the player, the rarer and more powerful the item they get.

The least likely items (Stars, Bullet Bills, and thunderbolts) are very rare in multiplayer split-screen. Bullet Bills almost never occur in two player splitscreen but stars and thunderbolts are obtainable. In four player split-screen there is a higher chance of getting the rarest items while three, two, and one player games often only offer green shells, red shells, and fake item boxes.

The player can also decide what type of items can be obtainable during a race. The options include as follows:

  • Balanced - The default option. This gives everyone items depending on what position they are in and how far behind they are. Extreme items may not be as common.
  • Aggressive - Each player gets items pertaining to what place they are in. Green Shells and single bananas are rare while extreme items become more common as the player progresses to last place.
  • Strategic - Extreme items are unavailable. Weaker items take head-forth and last place gets better but not extreme items.
  • None - No items at all.
