If you goto the Mario Kart Channel you will see your mii and a 12 digit code under your head. That's what you need.

Got this last night off a mate for my birthday. Only managed an hour but was suprised how easy the wheel was to use.

Will get online tonight or tomorrow and post up my number.

A bit annoyed that you cant hop like you could in previous versions to powerslide and get up awesome levels of speed (at least at 150cc )

No, free. You only have to pay in shame as you get beaten by several 8 yr olds...........

Tempted to go and get this and an extra wheel.
I think it only supports 2 online players at once. Me and the GF have been playing online since I bought it. We got a decent deal from Toys r us, £34.99 with a second wheel. Granted, it is not a genuine Nintendo wheel but it'll do for me! Get it bought and get on here, it will be a good giggle!

Sorry, I meant playing from one console. Your right that you can play upto 12 players at once though.

Up to 12 players can play online in one game, but two players can be on the same Wii playing online.

Ha ha. Cant exactly say that im anywhere near the standard of half of the people on there but have won some really fluky races as well as lost some pretty stupid races.

Get your name on the list and join the carnage. I dont even know if Spoons even knew I was on tonight but I joined him in the races and he was my constant target!!! Even though I dont know him personally but know of him...thats enough to hone my shell blasting skills he he

Hopefully you will have a chipped machine that can accept updates. I know of a few people at work with them, they can't play the latest games or get the lastest Wii updates.

It can be frustrating, I try to keep a shell to fire backwards just in case.
