Mario Kart Wii/Controls

Mario Kart Wii has 4 basic control styles available: Wii Wheel (motion controls), Wii Remote + Nunchuk, Classic Controller, and GameCube Controller. Among competitive players, the names of these control styles are often shortened to Wheel, Nunchuck, CCP, and GCN. The controls for each control style are outlined on Page 3 of the game manual.

Special note: You can play with the Wii Remote alone but you need to hold it sideways to play it. To play with the GameCube controller, at the start, you have to press the button to confirm it. Press to confirm Wii Remote and Nunchuk,  for Wii Remote and/or Wii Wheel and  for the Classic Controller.
