Celebrate Mario Kart Wii with alternate karts, Wii wheel substitutions
11
Using a baby as a Wii Wheel substitution is not the best idea for either your gameplay or the infant in question. Our sister site Nintendo Wii Fanboy has this and more suggestions for when the Wii Wheel isn't enough. In case you're looking for more Mario Kart Wii-related shenanigans, they've also devised a listing of potential "alternate karts," including what we envision would be the most "kart" race ever: Wario in a rickshaw vs. Yoshi on a pogo stick.

Or alternatively, you can use the packaged Wii Wheel! :-O!!

I just love that image with the wiimote on a baby, hilarious,
I think they should have taped a wii mote to a fan and seen what would have happened.

The picture's cute until you're reminded by a coworker of the Wii remotes flung haphazardly through TVs and other household fixtures. x_x

I'm going to attach one to a ferret, a squirrel and all the other crazy twitchy animals that I can find.

I would just like to say that after playing many hours of Mario Kart I have come to the following conclusion regarding the wheel:
When using the wheel feels like driving on ice with glass wheels.
The nunchuk/wiimote combo however is excellent, are ACCURATE.

That's weird, from what I've played the wheel works quite well.

Maybe it's the character I was using? What character/vehicle do you use?
I only used the wheel for an hour then gave up and moved on to the nunchuck/wiimote and never looked back.
Maybe the wheel just has a steeper learning curve? Eitherway I can't be bothered to go back to it now I'm so used to my current preference... I'll try it again later :)

I've just finished 100cc all on gold, and I've only used the wheel. There were a few angry moments when I reached for the classic controller, but I perservered and came out stronger.
It's a question of taste, I suppose.
btw, want to play online sometime? Add me if you do, my code's on the left there. Reply to this with yours and I'll add you.
