Wheel feels a little strange as it obviously has no feedback/resistence
I'm sure it will double up as a frisbee after a few beers

Yeh I used to have it on the SNES, have only played it on the Wii for literally 5 minutes, but those few minutes, everything looked sweet.

Not as good as I thought it would be but not played it multiplayer yet and thats where the original came into its zone, liking the idea of penalty drinking battle mode

I have yet to play a game more than snes mariokart. Still play it for hours against one of my best mates when home in Glasgow - usually 1st to 20 in battle 2.
Bowser and DK are the daddy for TT, gets good a couple of laps into rainbowroad once they have the speed up and the slides increase. Once your going for times and its only a perfect full throttle no brake run for rainbow road its hard to meet a game that lives up to it - just feels pure.
Interested to see if they can capture it on wii as N64 and cube failed imo. Homers that went round the track were gay and they just did not feel as involving or satifying as green shelling someone from miles away or playing green shell chicken in battle. I also love in snes version how you can time jumps and slides to avoid homers etc and between me and my friend we have managed to drive the persons homer back into them
