Realizing the absolute success achieved from Mario Kart DS when geared towards the casual audience (through its release on the DS and NOT because of its gameplay), Nintendo immediately began working on the next big title that would coincide its release with another multiplayer hit series in the same year. Those two were Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii. Both aimed for the casual audience, but only one obtained true love by casuals AND even competitors. How so? Well, let's just say a mix of chaotic fun, good replayability, and a meta revolving around specific vehicles helps bring the attention of many different types of groups to this particular game. Relooking back it has certainly aged in some aspects, but it also has evolved in ways not thought of before, bringing new life to a game that many thought would fall off by the time of the next game. This game, ladies and gents, is Mario Kart Wii.
