The Wii Wheel transforms the Wii Remote controller into a steering wheel that feels natural in anyone’s hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller offer a classic control style for the Mario Kart veteran. In either configuration, players can perform speed-boosting tricks with a shake of the Wii Remote.

5 Stars Goofy But Fun
The important thing to know is that the wheel really doesn’t allow you to do anything you can’t do otherwise. You don’t have to buy one to play the games. It’s just a holder that sets the wiimote in a shape that makes it feel a little more like you’re actually driving a car.
You can still hit the B-button through a button that’s on the underside of the wheel. You can also still use the wiimote’s pointer function as needed (there’s a hole in the wheel at the appropriate place to let the signal through).
It feels decently good in your hands. It’s a little on the small side, but if they’d made it bigger it’d probably have been a little on the heavy side instead, so it’s fine.
If you don’t like this kind of little prop, feel free to skip it. There won’t be any harm done to your ability to play. If do, then enjoy. It does its job well.
3 Stars just ok
I got Mario Kart for my Nintendo Wii and this came with it. Thought it would be a lot of fun and add to the experience, but I found it a little awkward. It’s not that it was difficult to use or anything like that, but using a steering wheel not attached to something is different from anything I have ever done and I was unable to get used to it.
Some people love it and there are many “Wheel Only” Mario Kart games, which make it handy to keep around. I don’t use it most of the time though.

5 Stars Surprisingly useful
The Wii Wheel, although just a piece of plastic in the shape of a steering wheel, is surprisingly useful when playing Mario Kart Wii. At first I thought it was a waste of money, but after trying to play the game without it (just holding the controller sideways), I quickly realized that it’s worth the money for the ease of use it brings. Since most of the time there’s only 1 or 2 people playing, one additional Wii wheel is probably fine, but I probably wouldn’t buy 2 additional to have a set of 4.
