I know, I'm talking about the option to buy it by itself.

Just got the latest Official Nintendo Magazine a few days ago. They gave MKWii 94% which means they gave it a gold award.

They say, in the review, that you can play using the wii remote/steering wheel or the remote & nunchuck or the GC controller. I never knew that.

They also say snaking has been taken out. They say this is because you don't have to move the control stick left and right during a powerslide to get a boost now because the boost is determined by how long you slide. So you slide and get blue sparks and eventually get red sparks if you hold the slide long enough.
Meaning that any advantage snaking has (or had) has been taken away.

I like this because I was never fond of snaking but I know a lot of people use it as a technique.

The review also says that stunts can be performed anytime all your vehicles wheels are off the ground and not just when you go of a huge ramp. Tricks are done by flicking the wheel and give you a boost.

Apparantly, the difference between karts and bikes are that bikes can only get blue sparks and not red sparks when powersliding but they can perform wheelies on straights which give them a boost.

If anyone wants to know about something else, ask and I'll flick through the review and see if the answers in there.
