I've Wheeled it all the way.

[trin]

Wheel! Haahaa my brother uses the Classic or GC controler and his GF uses the classic (she used to use the wheel).

Wheel might look stupid but it just feels right.

[Excite]

Mote and Chuk. 1, because I want the analog stick and 2, because it's more comfortable for me when I can put my hands wherever I want.

[benanen]

^Ditto, and the mote-flick for trick jumps is natural.

Double This!! You just can't get any more comfortable than this. the wheel is by far the worst...(you weirdos )

[MasterGH]

Classic Controller, because I find it heaps easier to just tap the dpad for any things that would otherwise require a motion. Remote & Nunchuk is alright, but it's just harder to keep the wheelie going.

[PlasmaDavid]

Wii Wheel all the way.

Unlike with Brawl, I spit upon anyone who doesn't use the so-perfectly-what-the-Wii-was-designed-for-simplicity Wiimote. It just WORKS and is brilliant.

[Jye]

Thanks for the input guys!

If I may add another question though; who actually owns a GameCube controller?

Exactly.

Nope. A weirdo is I.

definitely, has 4 standard and 2 wavebirds

[Ninja Catfish]

I own multiple GameCube controllers, but like Plasma, I play MKWii with the Wii Wheel, it's the way it was meant to be played!
If I want serious Mario Kart, I play Double Dash.

fixed.

[Akiyo]

I use the Wii Remote+Nunchuk, it's the most comfortable controller for me in MKWii. I also own four regular Gamecube controllers, two Wavebirds and two third-party larger Gamecube controllers. I only use them if I'm playing a Gamecube game though, since the Classic Controller is so much cooler.

[indevelopment]

Classic controller pro is coolest ^^

I used to use classic controller for MKWii but switched to chuck n mote on advice but never really got back into the game enough to get comfortable with it.

Now that I own a wavebird though it might be worth dusting it off and trying it that way.

And take my thumb off the analogue? When jumping potentially mid-drift? I think not!

Unless you accidentally get it upside-down while turning i.e. past about 170 degrees. Then it buggers up.

Is that a controller-related pun

I never find myself missing tricks in those situations, actually, since there's always enough time after launching from a jump for me to press a direction anyway. The thing is, though, that having to take my thumb off has made me much better at my lines, since I've had to learn to always get them right to start with. I also find it much easier to avoid POW blocks with it, too.

I just waggle like there's no tomorrow! All the work is being done on the left hand on the nunchuk.

Yeah, I suppose. When I used to use the Nunchuk/Mote I just found things could go a little wrong with my wheelies sometimes. Still worked well enough though

Have you really done this in game? I remember when I first started with the Wheel I used to over steer and cause myself problems, but it didn't take me long to get used to that.

[benanen]

Well I suppose, but I tend to steer away from a drift to draw it out: so I can get the orange boost (kart) when the road straightens out. But it'll bugger up with the wiihl.

[Phantom Ganon]

That was also a problem I ironed out quite quickly. It worked out for me in any case.

[Jye]

I personally just like using the GC controller because it gives the game that good old, retro kart racing that I enjoy so much

[Toadsiliwraith]

Wiimote-Nunchuk Combo all the way. Personally, I feel I have much more control over my vehicle compared to any other control scheme, especially considering I favour the bikes and have delved into a significant amount of competitive play. Furthermore, the Wiimote-Nunchuk combo is just so comfortable and intuitive to use.

If it was the way it was meant to be played, then Nintendo wouldn't have given players the choice of using any other control scheme. Granted, you can argue that the Wii Wheel is the recommended option of play, or even a major selling point of the game over its predecessors (it certainly is, hence the focus on the wheel in the game logo), but playing with another control scheme is no less valid than the Wii Wheel. Such an approach is analogous to changing the Item Switch in Smash Bros. from the default settings, or playing TvC/SFIV/et al without an Arcade Stick; it's a different experience, but it satisfies of wider variety of tastes and playstyles. Is climbing Mount Everest with oxygen "cheating" then?

Of course, I understand precisely where you are coming from; just adding some spicy debate to the mix.

Nice line!

I'm just glad that Nintendo offer such a range of choices, when all others are locked into a set control method. I mean who wants to play MotorStorm with yucky Sixaxis?
