Development Mario Kart Wii was the sixth game in the series, following, and., who worked with the Software Development Department of 's division and had previously worked on the first 2 Mario Kart games as well as Mario Kart DS, served as the game's producer.
Acted as “General Producer” and gave miscellaneous advice on various aspects of the game.Producer wanted to include certain online features for, but they were left out due to time constraints. These features would, however, be implemented in Mario Kart Wii. The developers wanted to avoid races becoming more deserted as they progressed, thus altering the online matchmaking to allow players to join a race once it is finished for participation in the next one. The game was the first in the series to feature as drivable vehicles, an idea which Konno had proposed since Double Dash out of his own passion for but was rejected due to the seemingly bizarre image of Mario riding a bike. The concept of extreme sports elements was considered in Mario Kart DS, but due to the difficulty in including the concept in a handheld game, it wasn't able to be implemented until Wii. Because of the feature's inclusion, the game was briefly known internally under the name ' Mario Kart X' before its final name was decided upon, referring to the 'X' in the word 'extreme'. The designers tested roughly 30 different prototypes with different shapes, colors and weights based on real-life go-karts.
The final design for the wheel was made to be as lightweight as possible in order for it to suit long-term periods of gameplay, and it was made entirely white despite experimentation with two-colored designs in order for it to fit with the color scheme of previous peripherals such as the and the. A blue ring with the Wii logo inside of it was also placed on the backside of the wheel to give spectating players something interesting to look at; as a result, this blue ring ended up being featured in the game's logo.Mario Kart Wii was officially announced at; the online features and the first footage of the game were shown at the Expo. During Nintendo of America CEO 's presentation, he unveiled the game via a trailer that showed some of the new characters and tracks. The trailer also displayed that the game would include up to twelve simultaneous racers. Additional details of the game were later released in conjunction with the Nintendo Fall 2007 Conference held in October 2007, where it was revealed that it would include bikes and the Wii Wheel. New gameplay footage from the game was also shown, and the release date was revealed to be set for spring 2008. Audio The music was composed by Asuka Ohta and Ryo Nagamatsu; who both used new interpretations of the familiar melodies from earlier games alongside original material.
A 46-track official soundtrack was released in December 2011 as a reward in Japan. The speaker on the Wii Remote is frequently used during gameplay, as like crashes and warning signals are emitting from it. During the extensive testing of the different Wii Wheel, the developers decided to have the voice actors playing the game during recording sessions.

Joe Sinicki of Blast Magazine comments: 'While it still does suffer from some of the problems of the older games, Mario Kart Wii takes the simple and accessible formula set by its predecessors and tweaks it enough to make it feel fresh and fun, creating one of the most entertaining and rewarding gaming experiences in quite some time.' Commented that the worked very effectively and loved the different multiplayer modes.

Also, criticized the in the 150cc races of the Grand Prix and was disappointed that Battle mode can now only be played in teams; no free-for-all option is offered which removes the 'last man standing' element of previous Mario Kart Battle modes. Reviewers such as and IGN also commented that it is easy to fall from first place to last by being continuously attacked by several weapons, many of which are unavoidable, leading to a certain amount of luck in racing.
This makes it more accessible for beginners, but can be extremely discouraging for skilled players. Also noted that 'nostalgia doesn't save most of the classic courses from being boring.'
