Since Mario Kart came out for the Wii, I haven’t seen a single extra wheel controller in the stores. Sure you can play the old-fashioned way using a Wiimote and Nunchuck, but what’s the fun in that? We decided that it would be much cooler to play Mario Kart using the Guitar Hero controller for Wii that was laying around. Check out the video to watch our very own Flipp play a level by rocking out on the guitar.
We still had to press the buttons using the Wiimote, so it meant using the directional pad with your left hand while holding down the accelerator with your right hand… oh, and steering. You really have to lay the guitar down at least partially or it’s nearly impossible to go straight. You can see that in order to do tricks he just shakes his knee to jar the guitar, but it comes off looking pretty Elvis.
The best part is that he beat the level on the first attempt when we filmed it. Dude, you’re a Mario Kart rockstar!
