The sixth installment of the ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' series, ''Mario Kart Wii'' is an arcade-style RacingGame for the Platform/{{Wii}}, released worldwide in April of 2008. This game introduces motorbikes as a secondary form of vehicle, as well as a Tournament mode, which functions similar to the Mission mode from ''VideoGame/MarioKartDS''.
The game is also notable for the improving upon the implementation of online multiplayer support present in the [[VideoGame/MarioKartDS previous installment]], focusing on versus and battle modes for up to twelve participants, and up to two players could connect and play from the same Wii console. Players could compete against random players from within the same region or from any continent, or could compete only against players registered as friends. At the end of each race or match, each player's VR (versus rating) or BR (battle rating) would change based on their final ranking. Mario Kart Wii also featured the "Mario Kart Channel", which was available as an optionally selectable channel on the Wii Menu, that presented current regional or worldwide rankings for Time Trials, and the option of sending or receiving ghost data via [=WiiConnect24=].
It was '''the''' game to play on the Wii's online service, with [[DefiantToTheEnd one of the last ever games being a race of Mario Kart Wii]]. A third-party server; [[https://wiimmfi.de/ Wiimmfi]] [[labelnote:*]]Pronounced: Wii-m-F-eye[[/labelnote]]ran by the eponymous Wiim, has taken upon himself to keep the servers up for this game, as well as other Wii games, meaning this game still has a niche online playerbase to this day.

* AthleticArenaLevel: This became the first game in the series to feature an athletic ''battle'' course, namely Funky Stadium. It is based on skateboard parks, and its primary focus besides the wide space it covers is the various ramps and half-pipes that can be used to perform tricks and gain extra speed. Within racing courses, the game not only has its own Luigi and Mario Circuits, but also brings back the Mario Circuits from ''Mario Kart 64'', ''Double Dash!!'' and the third from ''Super'' (there's also a Daisy Circuit, but it's themed around PortTown instead).

* NintendoHard: The game is especially infamous for this as the increase of Racers from eight to twelve on Tracks results in a crazy spike in difficulty compared to previous games, there are horror stories from people who get in dead last because of a Blue Shell, Pow Block etc.; and there's the utterly insane means of unlocking characters and karts, like getting first in every track on 150cc or completing 4.950 races.

Since this part of the course is turned into an UnderTheSea in all subsequent games where the course itself has reappeared, the electrified junctions are removed and the trope is averted in those games.

This Fake Difficulty example is very much a Zero Context Example. Also this game being the hardest doesn't convince me (and I have played all MK games), seems to me OP is just speaking from his experience instead of this objectively being the case. Also, as seen in Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Kart 8, and Super Mario Bros, this is Older Than They Think and either of them could be considered the hardest for different reasons such as having 8x2 racers doubling the number of items alongside the Winged Blue Shells (MKDD) or having 12 racers with Double items boxes increasing the number of items even further with the coin item being very common in first place making it much easier to get bombarded by items (MK 8), both of which could be seen as harder and more of a Luck Based Mission than this game. Therefore, I'm removing this example.

* FakeDifficulty: This is arguably the hardest Mario Kart game, and considering how the franchise is a giant LuckBasedMission, that's saying a lot.
