''Mario Kart Wii's rank compared to its five predecessors might be the only thing in the world that changes position more than your rank against the game's rubber-band AI. At first, you'll find that it falls behind the pack with unnecessary modifications that reward novice players instead of skilled ones. Wider courses, easier drifting abilities and unbalanced weapons trip up this game like that lone banana that you just can't avoid. But then, upon closer inspection, you'll discover it leads the way with new modes and more tracks that'll keep kart racing diehards playing, too. The addition of online gameplay and classic courses are akin to the game using a super mushroom to rebound from last place. With such volatility, it's impossible to properly rank Mario Kart Wii without exploring all of the aspects make it go back and forth from worst to first in the fifteen-year-old franchise.''
