NintenTV Review: Mario Kart Wii [Wii]

[mariosonic66]

9.3?

[FireBallFilms1]

time to go to ollie williams for the black man game review what it like ollie it awesome thanks ollie now sports

[pippo17173]

Blue shells is the worst to come in mario kart.

[javeriaz2]

I love mario kart wii! it's my favorite game! (for my opinion!0

[wateverwill]

a lot of people think this is the worst in the series, i think it might be the best. i dont understand their opinion, its like they want out dated graphics, minimal selection and choppy controls.

[seanMmaguire1]

@wateverwill alot of their complaints are allocated to the luck based nature of the Races their is no skill involved.

also the AI frustrates the living fuck out of me, like when I got hit by 4 Blue shells in a single race 1 in which I was on a jump.

[MarioBrothers120]

@Gameking53

Yeah the CPU always get the items when they need it no matter how many times you hit them they come flying by like Sonic

I remember on time I got hit with a blue shell, a blue shell, red shell, red shell and a lightning bolt in a row one after another

[jpta162]

The voices make the game less boring i almost need it to keep playing i like it

[jpta162]

Despite blueshells item rate and bad wiimote control well used to be i am good at this game and i really like this game 

[TheLovemusicguy]

blue shells evry time rape me in this game

[MrDragontamer2009]

I tried this out in a store before it came out. It it extremely hard to make a sharp turn when you have to

[dirtylaundry5]

I've only unlocked 4 characters

[dirtylaundry5]

I hate using the baby characters in this game. But this is my favorite Mario kart.

[ninstrikers]

In my opinion the most annoying character is Baby Peach

[mgcw2010]

Who on earth is funky kong i've never heard of him is he donkey kongs brother, whats next fiddy kong, (parody of diddy kong).

[SuperMarkerComicBro]

I enjoy this game because of one particular character: Rosalina.

Also, I can stand Blue Spiny Shells, but I HATE the Green Shells. You can't tell when the green ones are coming, so you have no protection

[MovieHelper]

Do you have to unlock characters, becuase i just got this game and you have a lot more characters than me.

[narutofano03]

11 people got hit buy the blue shell and fell into lava.

[NumberZero21]

um... the 1 button is the brakes and if you stay on the left side side of the road on moonview highway, you'll go with the traffic

[Gameking53]

@NumberZero21 You can't really win the race if you stay behind the traffic and continuously brake, can you?

[pedrolieksmudkips]

@Gameking53 No, but you'll be a good, law abiding citizen.

[NumberZero21]

@Gameking53 I meant that it is easier to dodge traffic if you are goin with it. Just weave around the traffic going with u and u should fair much better.

[Gameking53]

@NumberZero21 I see what you mean, but it's still quite an annoying track to me.

[MrSuperleobros]

@Gameking53 I also find moonview highway annoying.

[Sportsgamer92]

@NumberZero21, the problem with that is weaving around the track takes too much time and you'll eventually get passed by people who have better items. It's much easier to move around the inside of the track and not worry about a car hitting you coming into a corner. The traffic is just stupid and vehicles go in whatever direction they please by swerving in different directions and causing you to get wrecked, like the bob-omb cars.

[MASTERLINKX123]

this game pwns

[AwesomeLoukas]

OMG! DOUBLE DASH PWNS THIS!

[MegaGamemaster007]

5:53 how did you get that split effect? what is the name"

[MegaGamemaster007]

5:53 how did you get that split effect? what is the name

[suicunemaster97]

i like how the rainbow road sorta looks like super mario galaxy

[XranisX]

i dont like having funky in mario kart wii

[mario54671]

Why not just download the music instead of recording it off a speaker? :)

[newsonictheheadgehog]

at 1:58 toad has the blue falcon

[TheMovieboy1234]

mario kart wii is the best mario kart game, then mario kart ds and then mario kart double dash. Mario kart 64 is quite boring

[MegaJaiden1]

shut up funky kong is one of the best players in mario kart

[Gameking53]

@MegaJaiden1 Excuse me for having an opinion -_-

[pcpreece]

@Gameking53 yes funky kong is a good charachter if you have the mute on ;)

[3030sonic]

@MegaJaiden1 "Moron Kong" what i call him IS VERY ANNOYING

[TheColorPaul]

@MegaJaiden1 nahh funky pants is annoying

[foolboyv5]

@MegaJaiden1 I see your one of the people that make him Overused

[IwubMaiColettie]

@MegaJaiden1 Only if you Mute the TV

[DanielJDragonflame]

You don't like the challenge from the CPU then play it with friends or the world...sheesh.

Well, I guess I can say that you have the correct rating about this Mario Kart. It doesn't make up the my previous MKs comments I did. Just don't take this too lightly...

[DestinyHeroFlamer]

when I saw your Wii menu, i just thought: HOW MANY GAMES HAVE YOU DOWNLOADED! wow.

[PERR138]

wat is ur friend code

[COBWEBOWNZYA]

the match of the day theme was a nice touch. :D

[Xfan17]

The dolphin dasher kicks ASS!

[Xfan17]

this game was so hard that it made me cry and rip my hair out.

[NewZen41]

There were only 2 issues I had with this game-Poor Item balance and rubberband A.I.. Other than that, I love this game. Good review.

[FabricaRhino]

Do you think the Good Egg Galaxy remix in Rainbow Road track is faithful to the original? I think it is somewhat.

[pausebouts]

How do i make my second custome??

[gamefan56]

i feel that funky kong have a awesome voice, in my opinion it is the babys who have the worst voices.

[bioo80]

Blue shell can Suck mai Balls

[Xfan17]

@bioo80 true Mario Kart would have been so much better without it!

[anikid0392]

*about to reach finish line then all of the sudden......BLUE SHELL! BLUE SHELL! BLUE SHELL!!!*

[SuperLuigiPlushies]

funky kong has the most awesome voice in the world :(

[mqg96]

1:32, the mario kart ds intro music was at a higher pitch.

[TheClassicalgamer1]

This may come as a shock, but I never did get into this game. I rented it for a few days and I returned it. I did enjoy your review for this game though.

[jordanmunt]

whats your friend code u look good

[Kasume666]

also does wario get to use the bike that he has in smash bros. brawl?

[Kasume666]

at about 1:56 was that the blue falcon? if it is thats awesome! :D

[Shadsilvson11]

I just got this game for Christmas. It's fun but the computer AI do race dirty.

[Tmac2200stopmotions]

0:13 lmfao!

[rcnrcn927]

I liked Sunshine better. I HATED galaxy, i couldnt finish it

[Sawtje2]

@rcnrcn927

I cannot finish it either.. It's way too hard {Some stars}. I still enjoyed it though.

Mario Sunshine was fun too but way too frustrating to enjoy it

[wolfman0619]

Funky Kong is annoying!!! In my opinion, they should have replaced him with petey pirahna from double dash.

[Austen05]

they should put link in here he is my favourite nintendo character

[TheDudeman0234]

@Austen05 Lol LINK? Hes in another series and wow just link.....driveing a kart....LOL. Don't get me wrong I love him to,but not in this series.

[collegiatejules]

Do you have the third mii outfit.

[twighlight65]

i cant here your intro

[SEEPICS111]

nice review!!5/5

[colerock1423]

Gameking I would love to be ur freind on this game, ill send you a message with my fc later peace!!! Oh and p.s. good vid

[0697448]

hey!!! =)

btw im revisiting and I LOVEEEEEE the wind up bomb exploding - you gotta teach me how to edit it that way!! 5 stars for the start --- yet overall i do have to say 3 stars which is far - it's worth watching and worthy of my favourites so in it goes with your top 10 tracks too!

[jammyc96]

I only just noticed this but the Wario model from the character select screen is EXACTLY the same as the Double Dash one

[0697448]

er - helooooo? The graphics are AH-MA-ZING in this game and i speak for every mario kart fan here when i correct you.

otherwise, **** stars nice job.

[IcedSM64]

you kinda forgot the controls for gamecube controller and nunchuck also the characters have kinda been recycled from double dash

[supermariokorey]

ur right i like all the characters but stupid stupid FUNKY KONG!!!!!

[0697448]

he said he didnt like the VOICE not the CHARACTER!

[tailslvr]

i don`t have funky kong unlocked, am i lucky?

[0697448]

Nooooooooo i love funky kong u r not lucky!

[starflame34]

the one thing that i hate about this game is that it doesn't have the thing where u can select how many laps u want somewhat like mario kart double dash!!

[StrawberryGuy86]

Could you please review Super Mario Kart for the SNES? I mean you've already reviewed Mario Kart Wii, 64, Super Circuit and Double Dash, so you might as well.

[bunpika121]

lol in the backround: duh!!

[Ricjones1994]

You could use a better static thingy :-\ ill give you a copy of mine :D MKwii RULES!

[LeonSKennedy828]

am I the only one who prefers using just the wiimote on the bikes though? in karts I do use the wheel though

[LeonSKennedy828]

Mario Kart Wii was a great game, a bit better than Double Dash (loved that game but still) and MILES ahead of Mario Kart 64

[Jacketpotato1]

Whats wrong with Mario Kart 64?

[LeonSKennedy828]

it was just...boring to me, even in multiplayer to some extent.

[Jacketpotato1]

Hmmmm a good and valid point

[TheDudeman0234]

Of course its miles ahead of mk64 they were made almost a decade away from each otther.

[LeonSKennedy828]

That shouldn't make a difference, Sonic on the Mega Drive is older than Sonic 2006 by a much greater scale, and it's a much better game.

[MarioLuigi25]

I love this game extremely, but it has the crappiest A.I. ever! I mean seriously it's like every racer on the track wants to kill you! But I still love it and it's still one of my favorite Wii titles.

[K9allright]

i wish they kept the idems that only a sertent charator can have. like yoshi throws eggs. it will give more meaning to picking a charator.

[InfiniteGears]

Awesome review for an awesome game...

But in my opinion the SNES version is by far the best.. :D

[BIONICLEMANIAC911]

wait you can play as the girl from super mario galaxy!?!

[Mankster101]

Yep. You can.

[pikactrainer12]

how do you get the f zero like hover kart i really want it

[shineymouse]

do lightenin cup on mirror

[BlueCoconut626]

Do you have a DS???

[Gameking53]

Yes.

[Raymondngu32]

How about you do a Mario kart ds review

[yarichlvl3]

your reviews are great ceep em coming and i aggree with bounce back117 when i say thet they are beter than IGN reviews and alot!!! of fun to watch

[tomacav]

watch my review of mario kart wii

[BTVStation101]

They should've replaced Funky Kong with Hammer Bro in this game. Hammer Bro has never had a role in a Mario Kart game, accept his role as a spectator.

[mariopartyfan1]

how many mario games and nintedo consoles have you got ?

[mariobaseball808]

and if u didnt like moonview highway u probably disliked toads turnpike

[Gameking53]

Oddly enough, I like Toad's Turnpike. I placed it at number 9 on my top 10 MK64 tracks list. It's because the track is still insane, but more fun as the cars are easier to dodge, whereas in Moonview Highway you can turn many blind corners and get squashed by oncoming vehicles.

[AustrianReaper]

@Gameking53

Actually number 9 in a Top10 List of 16 tracks is not that high ^

[Gameking53]

@AustrianReaper That's not the point. The point is that it made my top 10.

[mariobaseball808]

funky kong gives me headaches! :O i hate him

[insultman911]

he acts like hes on drugs. probally cause HE IS ON DRUGS

[BounceBack117]

Great Review, Better even then some of those IGN reviews and fun to watch. Thank you!

[gamster96]

What 2 mario kart arcade games?

[deans911]

awesome review

[reechmahboi]

bah moonview highway was an awesome track

[aztecsword12]

I've tried using the Wii remote, but it feels way too sensitive on the turning. I always end up weaving all over the place even when barely turning the wheel at all.

for this and brawl i just use the gamecube controller.

[Vingulia]

Agreed

[cenafan70]

is it just me or did I just hear afaint duh?

[mariokartrainbowroad]

2:23 - cheater -_- : (

[Gameking53]

Yeah, he was :(

[9nintendo9]

Yeah, she owned me when I raced her 0_0

[Johonywuzhere]

ok double dash and melee had okay graphics for gamecube and this is stunning? This is excellent but if this is stunning those games should be godly graphics at there time.

[metsrule1000]

he said they were "not exactly stunning" and "good overall"

[Gameking53]

Yes, I said the visuals were "not exactly stunning". Listen more carefully next time :)

[kirbymin508]

great review! here are my pros and cons on this game cons they should have stuck with 8 players motercycles? it is mario KART wii, right? once you get hit you should have a little invincibility as you said cheating ai pow block sucks pros: good characters cool tracks nice controlls music is good fun to play

[Johonywuzhere]

wow i dont care bout the name it has karts and motorcycles, i think motorcycles were a great idea

[syrokor]

they refrenced super mario galaxy in star road in the song and if you look around u can see star bits from s-m-g there 2

[Shadsilvson11]

If you want my opinion I reckon Nintendo should scrap Mario Kart and just continue with F-Zero instead.

[Scorekid100]

why? mario kart has done better financially for nintendo and gets better review scores. F-zero is fun though and they should continue but there's no need to drop mario kart.

[Shadsilvson11]

They could still have both but if they were to have one or the other it should be F-Zero. Because Mario already has his platform games, party games and RPGs so at least save room for Captain Flacon.

[Freezingred2]

I hate Funky Kong, isn't he a stereotype? They should have Dixie Kong.

[vageloukos]

i love funky kong's voice it makes me laugh..

[mmhawk607]

You obviously haven't played Mario Kart too much if you still get annoyed by the voice acting

its not that bad....

[liljrm713]

hey i mute the tv sometimes when i play the game

[liljrm713]

well if you dont want to hear funky kong yell here one thing you can do MUTE THE TV

[Gameking53]

I'm not one of those weird people who mute the freakin TV just so they don't have to hear a voice. Besides, I never even play as Funky Kong.

[Darius1295]

The Score for this and DD should be switched around. Your reviews are brilliant in general, although in this review you forgot to mention how crap the items are.

[PHILRYABKIN]

Mario Kart Wii was really one of the best racing games of 2008 along with Burnout Paradise and Midnight Club Los Angeles.Also I the worst voice in Mario Kart Wii had to be Donkey Kong.His voice got alot worse.He sounds like Santa Clause on drugs.

[smashfanwii]

ah the most annoying characters to listen to on theis game are baby mario baby peach funky kong and that stupid luma!

[Freezingred2]

Mario Kart 64: 8.1

Mario Kart Double Dash:9.0

Mario Kart Ds: 8.9

Mario Kart Wii: 9.3

[adebiss]

Please learn to speak correctly. The word Battle, Has two of this letter

"T".

The word Item has one

"T".

Practise before your next review.

[Gameking53]

Its called "British Slang", and have spoke this way for years.

[adebiss]

Spoken this way for years.

Did you go to school at all?

[Gameking53]

Look, its a typing error. Dont get a hissy fit just because I make mistakes. One more word on this and you will be blocked.

[adebiss]

Balls.

[Triforceformer]

What a way to go out.

[ajwoor]

why would you block him because you cant take any criticism that just sad

[Gameking53]

Its not that I cannot accept criticism. Its that he is moaning over pointless things. First, he criticises the way I speak and then moans some more over a typing error. He has no right to insult my education just because of the way I talk or because I make a typing error.

[sagax03]

another awsome review.ever think of making a sight with it like GT and IGN?that be cool.Well 5/5 great review.

[bunpika121]

SHUT UP!!! YOU DONT NEED TO TELL US THAT YOU SPEAK RIGHT AND WENT TO SCHOOL!!! How old are you anyway? 8? 9? He speaks fine, all british talk like that, and he goes to school, you jerk!!

[Gameking53]

If you're addressing me, I am 14. Ever heard an 8 year old with such a deep voice?

[bunpika121]

Um, I'm talking to adebiss ^_^" lol

[Gameking53]

Thought so. God I hate Youtubes reply system.

[Darius1295]

Actually, "British Slang" still isn't proper english, and I'm from Britain as well.

[Freezingred2]

This game is great and stuff, but Double Dash will always live in my heart! Please make a review of Mario Kart 64. I love it, I want to hear your opinion.

[SCRuffeyfan]

I think he's gonna be remaking it as he accidentally wiped it out.

[ronanL10]

i agree with you on the voicing bit, never saw funky kong before, other than that and a few more things, i like it too

[FeatherWing14]

can you stop doing the disc thing

[Gameking53]

Whats wrong with it? It is now going to be my review opening.

[Freezingred2]

Yeah tell Featherwing! Your reviews rock! The disc is a great touch!

[SlasherXtreme]

gameking53 are you gonna do a review on sonic and the secret rings? P.s. your reviews are very good. keep up the great work!

[Gameking53]

Yes, I will eventually make a SATSR review ;)

[teamnerosonicX1997]

when it comes out, will u do sonic and the black knight?

[chilldude202]

it will be better if you putted your wii to 16:9 and the video =)

[Banana391]

hey gaarax9, whats with the 2nd best??? i think (no wait... I KNOW) that gameking is youtube's #1 game reviewer

[pokolvrolok]

Whiteythereviewer is bloody good too. :D

[gaarax9]

yo, have you watched kwings reviews.

[Banana391]

yeah lots

[gaarax9]

Good work Gameking53, you have the second best reviews on youtube.

[Gameking53]

Second best? SECOND BEST? How dare you!

Nah, just kidding. Thanks a lot mate ;)

[pokolvrolok]

Yeah you're a great game reviewer. :D I love reviewing games but I can never get round to making videos...just writing them.

I love this mariokart game...it's so cool how your Mii's are in the game. :)

5/5

[gaarax9]

For a second I thought you were serious XD. But I put you at number 2 because kwing started this review style.

[Flash11l19]

Be carefull Gameking, this review is NOT in 16:9. You only made this video in widescreen, but the game itself is still in 4:3, you forgot to change it in the Wii settings, to be widescreen. Just look how ghastly everything is. Don´t forget that for the next review: Widescreen must be turned on in WMM and in the Wii settings.

[kirbymin508]

do u still feel the same about galaxy?

[Gameking53]

Yeah, I still think its one of the best games of all time.

[SCRuffeyfan]

Gameking, is the 16:9 option available on Windows XP movie maker? I want my vids in 16:9.

[Gameking53]

Yes, the XP is the one I use. 16:9 is an option in it.

[JonathanMoore2001]

You know, your a really really good editor, and your like younger than I am...ridiculous lol.

Great Review man.

-- God Bless.

[Scottydog854]

Gameking I can see you have managed to get the wide screen.I have the same dazzle as you the dazzle DVC 100 but how do you get the wide screen? wb

[Gameking53]

Its in the description. I simply used the 16:9 feature in WMM.

[Scottydog854]

Mine dosen't rly go like that the screen just oes s,aller

Is this when you see it in WMM or when you upload it to YTube?
