| '''''Mario Kart Wii''''' is a racing game developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development and published by Nintendo for the [[Wii]] console. It is the sixth installment in the ''Mario Kart'' series (excluding the two arcade games) and the second ''Mario Kart'' title to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The game was released worldwide throughout April 2008, but one year later in South Korea. Every copy of the game is packaged with the Wii Wheel accessory, which is designed to house the Wii Remote to allow more intuitive and conventional steering. | | '''''Mario Kart Wii''''' includes 16 new courses and 16 classic courses from previous Mario Kart games. For the first time ever, players have the option of racing with either karts or motorbikes. Players can also hit the road as their personalized Mii caricatures in addition to the handful of classic Nintendo characters found in the game. True to the series, the game features tons of racing, plenty of power-ups and oodles of objects for players to use to slow down other drivers. |

| Changes from its predecessor, ''Mario Kart DS'', include motorbikes and support for up to twelve racers online. Like other games in the ''Mario Kart'' series, it involves various characters from several ''Mario'' games racing each other on tracks themed from locations in the ''Mario'' series.

| ''Mario Kart Wii'' was first shown at E3 2007. It has been positively received by critics; while not revolutionary, the online capability and the large number of tracks, characters and karts has been praised. The game had a commercially successful launch in every region, and sold over a million copies in both Japan and the United States in less than a month.
