Mario Kart Wii has finally launched around the world, and Nintendo has announced today that they will be kicking off the first worldwide tournaments.
Available via the in-game Mario Kart Channel, the first tournament has racers competing for the fastest time on the Mario Circuit. You'll also be able to attempt to break records as often as you like throughout the duration of the tournament, so if you blow it once, never fear. The best time will then be recorded and added to the worldwide ranking, and the player with the fastest time will win ... bragging rights?
Since finishing my review, I have to be honest -- I haven't really been playing a lot of Mario Kart Wii. Something about an Eastern European dude and his cousin. But I may fire up my Wii to participate, even though I don't have a snow balls chance in hell of winning.
Is anyone here confident enough in their skills that they're willing to start talking smack right now?

I'll attempt this record!
"tell your mum to put the controller down... IT'S ON"
I'm totally going to FAIL
Still it's a pretty solid idea. I'm loving the MKW channel now that i finally got it working
wavebird ftw
I would really like a challenge on WFC though. It seems like the majority of the people on there are complete noobs, and the challenge is lacking. And that's really not a bold statement. Yes, I am ready for a serious challenge on Mario Kart. If anyone's up for it, lemme know please.
As far as the difference in SSBB and MK... That really is bizarre, and I was wondering the same thing. I've run into a few problems, but for the most part, things have been going smoothly. *crosses fingers...
