Post here if you've acquired the latest installation in Nintendo's fast-paced Mario Kart series, Mario Kart Wii! Included at its launch (4/27) with the new Wii Wheel Accessory.
If you have it and have been playing it, what are your thoughts so far?
You may also post your Friend Code and other information here, even though we've a place in our profiles for that. =P |

I usually use Lightweights, but in this game the lightweights are not as easy to handle... and the Heavyweights are easier to handle. oo; |

I unlocked King Boo, Diddy, and Rosalina. Do I have to beat four of the FAST Staff Ghosts, or something to unlock Funky? |

No, you just have to unlock four, then beat a GP (i.e. beat four regular staff ghosts by 2-8 seconds to unlock the fast ones)
Anyway, I did get it on release, beaten 50cc and halfway through the retro 100cc (Dry Bones here I come). Overall, this is a good game, and I absolutely ADORE the Special Cup (though Rainbow Road is very difficult for me). Apparently, I can only play as Donkey Kong, Diddy, or one of the Wario Bros for some reason, as I can't handle the turning power of the lightweights (drifting on the Wario Bike is too much fun) and...well, I fail at using King Boo and Bowser for some reason. The rest of the characters I either haven't unlocked for find uninteresting (or are Yoshi, who is exempt from everything for being Yoshi).
The battle mode, I have to say, is a great improvement from previous versions. Funky Stadium has sort of a classic Tony Hawk Pro Skater feel to it with an added Mario Kart twist, making it my favorite battle stage. I'm really pleased with it overall.
I'll have impressions on Wi-fi soon enough... |

Yes you have to unlock the Mii. I'm not spoiling WHICH Grand Prix you gotta do, but you have to beat it in 1st place. Once you got the Mii, you can use it in only ONE weight class, depending on the Mii's dimensions. My Mii turned out to be a Mediumweight driver, and he rules on the Sugarscoot (M-class bike avaiable from the start.).
The guide says you have to do 50 games and have Galaxy save data to unlock Rosalina (or 4,950 games if you don't have SMG data; seriously, who on Digibutter HASN'T played Galaxy?). But what I'm confused is, does that mean 50 races in any non-Time Trials mode (including WFC Race), or does that mean 50 times of playing (4 races of a Grand Prix counting as one game)?
My favorite new item is the Mega Mushroom. But what REALLY fails about it is that it lasts ONLY TEN SECONDS!! In NSMB, it lasted for 15 seconds or something. I absolutely HATE getting Lightning Cloud'd or POW Block'd. But the Golden Mushroom can be a racesaver. |
