Since its release last week, Mario Kart Wii continues to give gamers more reasons to play. Yesterday begins the official Mario Kart Tournament on the Mario Kart Channel. Every few weeks, a new tournament is held allowing players to compete against other players around the world. Mario Kart drivers can compete on the Mario Circuit racing for the fastest time or to collect the most coins in an obstacle using the Wii Wheel. The player who finishes first in the races has their time/score recorded and added to the worldwide rankings. It is a competition for pride, fun, and recognition of the best. To participate in the Mario Kart Wii tourneys, all you need is your Nintendo Wii to be connected to the internet. This tournament is exclusively on Mario Kart Wii for the Nintendo Wii and urges everyone to join.
