Fast, Fun, and Challenging
Reviewed by Wii-man on July 21, 2008 | report this review
First-off, I'd like to point out that Mario Kart Wii's online connection is crystal clear. I have seen absolutely no lag, and the speed of joining a race is extremely quick. Alright, now for my review. I love the fact that the CPU'S are more ballsey then they used to be. Items- I looove the new items in this game, however, I did notice some of the old Items are gone as well. The GIANT banana (Yes I know it's been replaced by the N64's Banana rope), Mario and Luigi's fireballs, Peach and Daisy's orbiting hearts, the GIANT bowser shell, and many others. **I'm pretty sure I've spotted Yoshi and Birdo eggs in MK Wii. If anyone else can back me up, that'd be greatly appreciated.** Another noticeable differences are the characters. A lot of new ones...but I can honestly say I miss Petey. Besides the fact that his enormous head may have temporarily blocked your view, I still miss him. Levels....LOVEM'! The Battle mode-shame, shame, shame. They tried. BUT overall: Online...Awesome. 2-player Online...Crazy. The game...Crazy Awesome!

Powing the POW
Hint by Wii-man on July 21, 2008 | report this hint
The POW block has 3 stages. Well...it's POW! Then a bigger POW! Then the last POW, and you spin out, slow down, and lose your items.*The following tip is for the Wii-mote/ Wii Wheel ONLY!* To avoid the potential 'Spin-out', whether you are in a kart or on a bike, you activate a trick (Flick the Wii-mote upwards) at the exact moment of the third and final POW. You will spin, yet maintain your speed. However, you WILL lose your items. An alternative way to avoid the POW block is to simply be in the air. Happy racing!
