Official Nintendo Wii Wheel

Got this extra wheel so we could race each other and it turned out to be a good decision. Mario Kart is a blast, a must have if you own the Wii.

I previously mastered Mario Kart:Double Dash for Gamecube and felt though Mario Kart:Wii would be just easy and fun. It's not easy. Drifting is more essential and the Wii wheel takes getting used to. It was really frustrating, but now I really enjoy the game. I especially enjoy the incorporation of 'classic' mario kart race tracks.

What's there to say, its the exact same wheel that comes with the game. Can you play MarioKart without the wheel? Yes. So why buy another wheel? It makes the whole experience a little more enjoyable and easier. Can you imagine trying to drive your car with a bar instead of a wheel? It also makes the trigger button more accessible, which is a big plus on multiplayer and 150cc. There is nothing to plug into the controller, it just sits/squeezes into place.

Just got a used Nintendo brand Wii Wheel for 7.99 at Game stop. It is just a piece of plastic so there really is no need to worry about it not working. It's selling for 14.99 at Target and 9.99 + shipping on Amazon. So if you want to save a few bucks and aren't planning on buying something else on Amazon to get the free shipping, call a local game stop or EB games and see if they have it used! As for the wheel itself, all I will say is that you should definitely use it since it's what makes the game more unique from other versions of Kart. As a gamer, I am more comfortable with the nunchuck, but I like the wheel because it is a more authentic Wii experience.

I am almost 40 and my husband is even older and we can't put this game down. We have given up TV shows to play this instead. Highly reccomend the game and the wheel.
