Mario Kart for the Wii Ready for Pre-Order

By Jason Widmore

Mario Kart for the Wii will be realeased on Apr. 27 in the U.S.

The game comes together with the Wii Wheel that will make playing the game more fun and also enables novices to manage the challenges fast.

Mario Kart includes a bunch of new tricks, tracks and several new ways of playing.

Amazon comments the game as follows:

* Play a whole new way with the Wii Wheel!
The Wii Wheel transforms the Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels natural in anyone's hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk offer a classic control style for the Mario Kart veteran.
In either configuration, you can perform dramatic speed-boosting tricks like jumps, flips, and wheelies and with the shake of a Wii Remote.

* Take the race worldwide!
Play with up to three friends in your living room.
Or challenge up to 11 friends via Nintendo WFC in the biggest Mario Kart race yet!
All tracks are available via Nintendo WFC, and you can visit the Mario Kart Channel to check rankings, see when your friends are playing, download ghost data, and participate in worldwide Time Trial events.

* New wheels and courses! Cruise brand-new tracks and arenas, or tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash, and Mario Kart DS!

* Tired of riding on four wheels?
Bust out one of the all-new motorbikes for special tricks and techniques.

Mario Kart Wii supports four different control options:

- Wii Remote with or without the Wii Wheel
- Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller combo
- Classic Controller and even the
- Nintendo GameCube controller.

Mario Kart Wii launches with a new channel added to the Wii Menu to enhance game play:

The Mario Kart Wii Channel.

This new channel builds on the huge online community of Wii owners and lets players compete in tournaments, check worldwide rankings, see when their friends are playing and download ghost data.

The game can be pre-ordered at Amazon with the pre-order price guarantee.
