'''''Mario Kart Wii''''' is a racing game for the [[Wii]] console. It is the sixth installment in the main ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, and the eighth overall. Similar to every ''Mario Kart'' game, ''Mario Kart Wii'' includes new features such as new race courses along with other courses that appeared in past ''Mario Kart'' games, like its predecessor ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. New items and characters were included, as well as an increased number of players for the races. ''Mario Kart Wii'' also introduced the use of [[bike]]s that vary in capabilities along with the classical [[kart]]s. Game modes are also present such as the Grand Prix, Versus, Battle, and Time Trial, many of them making use of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] for worldwide online play.

The main feature is the use of the [[Wii Remote]]'s motion-sensing ability. By tilting the remote, players can steer their karts. During the development of this game, Nintendo hoped to address some of the issues game critics faced with the first racing game Nintendo published for the Wii, ''Excite Truck'', by making ''Mario Kart Wii'' compatible with the [[Wii Wheel]].{{
