The player can control the karts by using the [[Wii Wheel]], a container for the [[Wii Remote]] which comes inside the game's box. By tilting the wheel, the player can change direction. The ''B'' button on the rear of the wheel is used to drop items.  The game can also be controlled using the [[Classic Controller]] or the [[Gamecube Controller]].

== Items ==
+
-
[[Image:Itembox.jpg|110px|thumb|An Item Box]]Items play a fundamental part in [[Mario Kart Wii]]. Items are received through item boxes, which are usually scattered in groups throughout a course, often in a horizontal line. The item is then stored for use whenever the racer wishes (except in the case of the Thunder Cloud, which is immediately activated). Items can be split into two categories, aggressive items, and strategic items. Normally, the lower the player's position in the race, the rarer and better items they will recieve from item boxes.
+
-
 
+
-
===Agressive Items===
+
-
Agressive items are any items that will affect other players in a way that another racer's vision is blocked, stops, or loses speed, such as the red shell. The agressive items are:

===Strategic Items===

Strategic items are items such as the mushroom, which will assist you in the race, without affecting the other racers without effort from the racer (eg. The mushroom can only affect another racer if the other racer is rammed with the mushroom). Such items are:

== Glitches ==

+
-
[[Image:AllCharGlitch.JPG|thumb|Using the same character.]]
+
-
There is one known glitch in Mario Kart Wii. When used, it allows each player in split screen multiplayer to use the same character, which is not usuallly allowed. It can be caused by doing the following:
+
-
 
+
-
*One person selects and then deselects a character.
+
-
*The next player selects and then deselects the same character.
+
-
*Other players who want the character must do the same.
+
-
*Go back one screen then return to the character selection screen.
+
-
 
+
-
At the screen, all player icons should be on the same character, which can then be used in-game.
