It’s the Wheel Thing

Mario Kart for Wii follows the tradition of addictive racing fun fans have come to expect from the zippy little plumber Mario and his gang. But the game only comes with one racing wheel–not a controller in itself, but a wheel you can slip a regular Wii controller into for more authentic game play. (Because, you know, nothing says authentic like cars that slip on magic bananas and shoot guided turtle shells at their opponents.)

A spare wheel is a great gift for someone who’s already got the game–and I love this soft wheel by Nerf. Not only is it easy on the hands, it doubles as a stress reliever–perfect for giving a squeeze should you find yourself in last place behind Yoshi the dinosaur-lizardy thing.

$14.99 at Toys R Us. Also available with the game for $64.98.
