I had this way back on the SNES and with the addition of the wheel and online play you get with the Wii, I'd say it's the best version yet!

LOL! I'm only on about 5500 points and you start with 5000 so I'm not exactly ripping it up!

The white wheel indicates that they are using the wheel controller but I'm not sure about the gold one! I feel more research coming on!

That's a bold statement Is it as playable as the SNES and N64 version? I have regularly been playing Mariokart for the last fifteen years and it is one game that has never lost it's longevity. It is so addictive and fun in multiplayer form. The Gamecube version was crap, I hated that not half as good as it's predecessors.

I do think it is as playable as the SNES and you can never get bored of beating Hans from Germany!

I bought it on Friday. I havn't tried Wiimote and Nunchuck and I don't intend to. The wheel has been very responsive so far. I didn't realise it would be as sensitive as it is!

I'm currently on 5027 points.

I use Yoshi at the moment but that's only cause I've not unlocked too many charactors. I think you can unlock your own mii by winning the 100cc special cup. Not been on the game today so will add all the numbers tomorrow and we'll have some ScoobyNet fun!
