Mario Kart is a racing game for Wii Console. It is one of my favourite game in Wii Console. The great thing about it is that 1 to 4 players can play at the same time. It is a good family fun. During holidays we all play it a lot. I usually play Grand Prix or Versus Race with my family. I am the best player in my family. My brother is catching up, he has improved a lot in last few weeks. My mum is the worst player in the family.
