Mario Kart Wii

Mario Kart Wii is a 2008 kart racing game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It is the sixth installment in the Mario Kart series, and was released in April 2008. In Mario Kart Wii, the player takes control of one of 24 Mario series characters, who participate in races on 32 different race tracks using specialized items to hinder opponents or gain advantages.

Mario Kart Wii features multiple single-player and multiplayer game modes including two- to four-person split screen. Online multiplayer was supported until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in May 2014. Mario Kart Wii features a returning multiplayer mode: Battle Mode. The aim is to defeat the other players by attacking them with power-ups, destroying balloons that surround each kart. Mario Kart Wii uses the Wii Remote's motion-controls to provide intuitive and conventional steering controls. Each copy of the game was bundled with the Wii Wheel accessory to augment this feature and mimic a steering wheel.
