Mario Kart Wii is one of the few games i still own my original disk for that still works. Though i have much fonder memories of MK64 (through the Wii VC ironically enough), this one is still one of my favorites due to how chaotic it can get. Not to mention the Inclusion of Waluigi and Funky Kong is awesome. Never have i ever wanted to drive as an ape with sunglasses more than i have playing this game. Not to mention the retro track collection is pretty solid IMO.

I took this screenshot on Mario Circuit after getting my ass handed to me by a Ghost Baby. Poor Waluigi deserved better than this.

I also did Sherbert land, and though my time was way worse than when i raised the ghost child, Waluigi was happy, which is all that matters to me.

Shortly after though, I sadly lost to Daisy though after a race in Coconut Mall as Waluigi isn't allowed an ounce of joy in this world apparently.

How do you feel about MK Wii compared with 8 or 8 Deluxe?

The mario kart wii community is still very active. The retro rewind mod on dolphin makes playing online super easy, and adds tons of new tracks. Totally worth checking out.

It’s definitely something I keep meaning to check out. I keep putting it off until I set my Wii U back up so I can get a pretty close to authentic experience, but I never end up doing it because I can’t find the power cable

That sounds super fun. I have to check that out. Thank you!

Man, you put a lot of effort into these every day. I reckon I’d click in more if you put some of the interesting content in the titles. IMO move your title bit to the body. Keep up the good work :)

to be honest I’ve been struggling the past few days to figure out what to play because I have parts for my first Gaming Rig on the way. So I want to save all the “good” stuff for that lol. I was honestly a bit worried my screenshots these past few days have been lacking.

I’ve considered moving the title to the post, but some people have said they like guessing the games and I’d like to avoid spoiling it for them, otherwise I would start doing unique titles. I think if I ever end up stopping though, I’ll probably start doing unique titles for when I occasionally pop in and share an isolated post

Good luck with the rig!

You don’t necessarily need to spoil the game in the title either. Keep at it either way :)

Mario Kart Wii is very cool, it has some of the best tracks and very fun physics. And I know it's been a bit of joke online, but the wheel style motion controls were actually fine too.

Though I understand why they toned down the tricks and nerfed bikes in 7 and 8. They were fun, but a bit much.

I had a wheel growing up and it was by far my favorite way to play it. If I had a wheel still I might have tried to use it to play with Dolphin

Waluigi...
