Is the wii wheel really needed for Mario Cart?

Question

I'm going to buy Mario Cart Wii soon and I'm just wondering how necessary the wheel actually is for the game. I know that you don't absolutely need the wheel to play, but does it make it alot easier or something? I just want to know if it's worth spending the extra money to buy the wheel?

Answer 1

No, you don't need the wheel. I actually don't use it myself...I just hold the remote sideways without the wheel. It's just a novelty to make you feel like you're driving.

And anyway, the wheel comes with the game for free.

Answer 2

It's not needed at all for mario kart Wii with a "K" and not "C"

Answer 3

you can use the gamecube controller, wii remote, wii remote and nunchuck or wii wheel and i thin, the classic controller

Answer 4

no its not. I rented it and just played with the remote turned sideways.

u get the same experence.

Answer 5

the wheel helps but not much so i dont think you should waste your money

Answer 6

well jason the wheel is free and also the wheel is not neccessary and in my own personal opinion if you are using just the wii remote with any type of bike go without the wheel to me it makes it so much easier to do a wheelie

Good luck

Answer 7

It doesn't make it easier or harder. Most people actually prefer the Gamecube controller.

Plus, the wheel is packed in with the game. No extra money required.
