Summary

Game Description

The Mario Kart Legacy is continued on the Wii. As expected new additions to the series will include Wii specific motion controls as well as online play and lots more. Players can choose a number of memorable Nintendo characters or use a personalized Mii to race against up to 11 opponents. Using the Wii Wheel with the Wii Remote, players can perform speed-boosting tricks with a shake of the controls. The game is also compatible with the classic controller or the Nintendo GameCube controller.
