Mario Kart Wii 9/10
I always love competition between my friends and family, and this game by far does the trick.
The genre of Mario Kart is family, racing action. Stylistic conventions that run through the game that reinforce the genres are the fact it is a multiplayer friendly game enabling families/ friends to compete against each other. The genre racing is simply shown in the game through the narrative, the whole aim of the Mario Kart is to win races and stop other from coming in front of you; this is where action becomes involved. Going into boxes and getting given a weapon for example red box or a advantage such as the rocket, to get in a higher places and to slow other down. It makes the game funny, enjoyable and gives the players adrenaline.
The whole aim in Mario Kart is to win the championship races in order to get bronze, silver and gold trophies and even get CBA, Star, Star Star and Star Star Star rankings. The levels are separated into 4 championships- 50cc (Karts only) 100cc (Bikes only) 150cc (Karts and Bikes) 200cc- (Mirror), which you start on the easier level (50cc) and end on the hardest level (200cc). This makes the gameplay interesting and intriguing simultaneously. There are 8 levels (shown by symbols: Mushroom, Shell, Banna, Star, Lighting, Leaf, and ) on each championships which all included 4 different tracks. On each level you earn a trophy and the better you do the more you can unlock. However what makes Mario Kart even more exciting is you can do competitions such as coin or balloons, which you are spilt into two teams red and blue (your choice) and you can also just do normal races when playing multiplayer, which adds to the adrenalin.
Process Production
There are a variety of characters in Mario Kart, which you can either chose to be or race against. The characters are mostly memorable characters, but higher definition and quality. New characters are added to the game, but this just adds and shows the development of Mario and how it had adapted to the modern era. The colour scheme is still bright and bursting with flavour, memorable characters such as Mario and Luigi are in red and green, which is important as it is an recognition of the game. A personal element is brought into Mario Kart. When achievements are made in the gameplay, you can unlock new characters and machines, One thing you can unlock is Mii, which is part of the Wii. This means Mii characters you have made can be chosen to race, which is an brilliant Idea as it is your own creativity.
The main gameplay in Mario Kart is winning the championships, which is done on single player. You starts on championship 50cc, which is Karts only. Then you go onto one of the 8 symbols and play there 4 race tracks. Mushroom is the easiest level and Lighting is the hardest. Depending on what places you come in the races and your totally score you will get ranked. If overall you have come in third place you will get bronze, second you will get silver and first you will get gold; however when you come first you will get ranked C, B, A, STAR, STAR STAR or STAR STAR STAR. This is also judge on how fast you complete the course and how you defend yourself when being attacked. The same goes for 100cc (bikes only) 150cc (both) and Mirror, which is the hardest championship. When leveling up you unlock more efficient and better equipment and characters. If you are a competitive and determined person, this is the perfect game.
As Mario Kart has been around for many generation it is appealing to a wide range of people. Generally focusing on this game it is mainly targeted to a teenage male audience, due to the gameplay, However as it is family oriented both genders and any age group will find this game really appealing and enjoyable. Mario fans will indeed find this game so amusing as the adrenalin and the competitiveness that is brought from this game gives a push to do the best.
Mario Kart Wii can only be played on the Wii. As the console does state
