What’s one of the best multiplayer racing games ever? Mario Kart. Mario Kart has evolved from Super Mario Kart for the SNES to this multiplayer wii game. That means that this game works and it’s going to continue to work (unless it completely changes).
Mario Kart Wii has added so much more things from its previous racing games that I can say for sure that Wii (get it?) have an awesome multiplayer game on our hands.
Mario Kart is a multiplayer wii racing game where you go laps around a map to win. Sounds easy right? Well it is… sometimes. There are more then that though, you can pick up items to make sure you never get at least 12th place ever again.
Are you tired of playing with karts? Well then the motorcycle is your answer. There are differences among each vehicle, but skills always win in the end.

Mario Kart Wii Gameplay
Playing is simple, winning is not. You pick a character, and then select their vehicles, all vehicles have their own stats, and there are three categories of the vehicle light, medium, and heavy.
Once you have picked your characters and their vehicle (more can be unlocked by playing through the game) you’ll be place behind the racing line. After the lights turn green, GO!
Tip: To get a mini boost before everyone even start press and hold the A button (or whatever your gas peddle button is) when the 2nd number has light up and become solid.
Now from here on out it’s about all the skills you have
Mario Kart Wii Multiplayer
Now I can say this for sure. If you like racing games and racing with your friends this game is for you. Not only can you sabotage them with traps you can also
Losing balloons is easy, gaining them is a different challenge.
play a 12-player racing game
On this online racing game you can:
- Race or battle with 4 players on the same television.
- Race or battle with 12 players on Nintendo WFC
- Or race or battle with 11 other random people online!
Being an online game and having Nintendo WFC you have to gather all of your friend’s friend code, but look on the bright side. Once you get them the only headache would be to organize the races!
Nintendo WFC Mode
When you go on Nintendo WFC and enter a match it’ll show you where all of your opponents are from on the world map.
You have 3 options. You can make a match where you invite all of your friends, play regionally with people in your country, or play worldwide with people around out planet Earth.
Like multiplayer mode you can do battle mode and versus mode.
However the best part is that you can race 2-player mode online. You can race with a friend that’s right next to you.
The game also has a rating system. The more you win the more points you get, but the more you lose the more points you lose. Everybody’s score is kept tracked on the leader board. Are you ready to be the next champion?
Multiplayer Mode
There are 2 modes you can with 2-4 of your friends, battle mode and versus mode. In both games you can select team or just solo.
Don't you just love how they get in your way?
Versus like the name suggests means you race with 12 players across the map. You can do things like throwing at turtle shells at whoever’s in your path. If you’re on team mode don’t worry about hitting allies, it won’t hurt them.
Battle mode has 2 racing games for it:
- Balloon Battle – You have 3 balloons. You have to drive around and pop your enemies’ balloons. The more you pop the more points you get, careful though, you can get popped too. If you run out of balloons you’ll respawn with 3 more.
- Coin Runners – There coins everywhere in the map you chose. You just drive around and collect them while crushing anyone in your way. The team with the most wins.
Conclusion
Mario Kart Wii is simple, but addicting. It’s the 12-player racing game. It takes the simplest ideas, but twists it with its own ideas to makes you want to continue playing. But here’s your main goal: Beat your friends and even total strangers!
If you’re interested, I definitely recommend you to buy this game (there’s wi-fi and solid gameplay!), but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
