MARIO KART Wii COMPETITION

Melbourne Australia, 1 August 2008 - Nintendo has thrown down the gauntlet for Mario Kart Wii racers worldwide. Now it’s time to see who’s up to the challenge, as players take on the world in Mario Kart Wii Tournaments.

Every few weeks, a new tournament will appear on the Mario Kart Channel, an online feature that not only allows players to compete in tournaments, but also exchange race data with friends. Tournaments might take the form of a challenge for players to race a certain course as fast as they can with specific characters, or to collect a number of coins on a course using the Wii Wheel accessory or another control setup. They can feature unique rules or obstacles on the course.







Our newest contest runs from 1 August until 10 August. Now’s the time to get online and show you’re the best!

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong just love to litter Bananas all over N64 DK's Jungle Parkway. Avoid the Bananas and reach the goal as fast as you can!

Your best time will be recorded and added to the worldwide rankings, allowing players to see how they stack up against the best racers from around the world. You can submit as many times as you like!

So turn on your Wii and go to the Mario Kart Channel to get in on this contest. For more information about Mario Kart Wii’s many online options, visit the official Mario Kart Wii game site.
