Very fun game and best of all, we can play with our nieces 2000 miles away over the internet by linking our consoles. So cool and great way to have fun with them so far away!

This is a decent enough guide for an addictively fun game. There is a lot of info in the book to help shortcut the learning process and answer many questions that arise over the course of gameplay. It informs you of the best racing lines and most of the shortcuts available in the game, although I find the maps confusing to read. The descriptions of different areas of a track aren't always in order and tips are sometimes awkwardly described.

The characters and vehicles are described fairly well, but I find the descriptions of some of the play modes and gameplay actions are too brief. I don't mind figuring things out on my own, but when I purchase a guide, I expect more detail of all aspects of the game - not just some of them. For example, Mirror Mode is not really well defined in the book and one is left guessing what it is until you actually unlock it and see for yourself. Same thing applies to 'Retro' cups - it's often referred to, but not well defined.

Although there is a list of unlockable characters and vehicles in the back of the book, there should be more detail and emphasis on them since it's such an important part of the game. They're presented as more of an afterthought than an integral aspect of the game. Another thing I'd like to see is some form of an index.

When our son gets a new video game along with the corresponding strategy guide, he sometimes seems to prefer the guide to the toy. He wears out the guides, reading and re-reading them, not only for tips and game-winning hints, but because he just loves reading about the characters and the different scenarios.

Mario Kart Wii's official game guide is no exception. It's a very worn, very popular paperback in our household.

Good packaging, quick shipping, product in excellent condition. Nice to know there are people you can trust! Thank you! I will definitely buy from you again, and will reccomend to my friends.

My kids LOVE this game! OK, so it's the first one we bought when we got the Wii, but my almost 5 year old has mastered this game in one week. My almost 3 year old drives off the road often and places last, but he doesn't even care because he's having so much fun! Even when you "die" in this game, you still get to play because a little parachute drops you back off where you went off road. I personally stink at this game, but my kids and husband love it!! Great for anyone who likes driving video games. So many races to choose from, and so many options. Highly recommend it!!!

I am SO happy I decided to purchase this game guide. It shows so many tricks and hints on how to get "ahead of the pack". I especially found the selection on the differences in the vehicle and character selections can make on your races. If you are a Mario Kart addict like me - this is a must for you. I would tell you it would also make a perfect gift for another MK player you may know of, but why increase their chances of winning against you. :-)
