Mario Kart Wii

Mario Kart Wii is a Nintendo Wii game released in April of 2008. It is the eight installment of the Mario Kart series.
== Gameplay ==
Like the previous Mario Kart games, the player races in various 4-race cups to obtain trophies. With so many first place trophies, the player unlocks new karts, characters, and cups. Each race primarily includes three laps, but unlike the previous games, the number of racers on the track has been changed from eight to twelve. Like Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii features courses from the previous Mario Kart games in retro cups.
The game utilizes the motion control of the Wii as well, using the Wii Remote to tilt and turn the player and their character during races. A new shell, the Wii Wheel, was made specifically for this game; it was bundled with certain copies of Mario Kart Wii as well.
== Characters ==
The game sports twenty-four different characters to chose from, twelve of which are available from the start and twelve that are unlockable. The game also debuts new characters to the Mario Kart series such as Rosalina, Baby Daisy, Dry Bowser, and Funky Kong.
