Mario Kart Wii

Mario Kart Wii (??????Wii, Mario K?to W?) is a racing video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It is the sixth installment in the Mario Kart series, and was released worldwide on April 27, 2008. Like its previous installments of games, Mario Kart Wii incorporates playable characters from the Mario series, who participate in kart races on various race tracks using specialized items to hinder opponents or gain advantages. It sold 37. 14 million copies, making it the 8th best selling game of all time, and also the best selling game of the Mario Kart series. The game features multiple single-player and multiplayer game modes including a four person split screen. Online multiplayer via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was available at launch, but was discontinued in May 2014, along with other Wii and Nintendo DS games that supported online play. Mario Kart Wii uses the Wii Remote's motion sensing to provide intuitive and conventional steering controls; each copy of the game is bundled with the Wii Wheel accessory to augment this feature.
