One fab fun game - you dont need a wii wheel to play the game though they were throwing one in when we bought the game so when I am playing agaisnt my partner he uses it but if I am playing with myself I dont bother There are several new charcters to pick from as well as the well known ones I think that princess peach or toad are the easiest ones to get you started and the eastiest machine to use is the kart though bikes are fun. The courses are great with weird penguins coming at you and great things to pick up when you get a magic box things to watch out for though are the lighting clouds as I always seem to zap myself with them and falling off the course which is really easy to do on some of the courses you get more courses the more races you win until you unlock them all loads of fun and a game that is well worth the money though shop around as the prices vary from shop to shop
