Or do you have to use a wheel?** A: You can use the game pad but keep in mind this game plays better competing against others. On line you can use the Wii U game pad but should you play against others beside you, you'll need EXTRA controllers. In this case I strongly suggest getting several "mini" steering wheel attachments for the stick controllers ("Nunchucks"). They are inexpensive and add variety, in a unique/FUN way. "Best Buy" stores sell a pair of these steering wheels (together), in a box package, for just $19.99 (1 red, 1 green). A bargain deal/value for 2 wheels. You can find more of these on Amazon (or Ebay), in a variety of designs and colors. Other wireless pads can be used but its more fun using mini steering wheels (and less expensive too). The game stick (Nunchuck) pops out safe and easily should you need to recharge or use for other games. The only downside is the Steering wheel is specifically designed for driving games on the Nintendo Wii & Wii U; Plus, for every wheel you will need a stick controller. ***The wheels DO NOT come with a stick controller so make sure you have one for each wheel.*FYI I suggest purchasing one (or two) stick controllers if buying a mini steering wheel. Personally I went on ebay and bought: 5 stick controllers, 3 steering wheels + re-chargable batteries & a charge dock; All at a bargain prices. (They're all inexpensive and the re-chargable dock & batteries are practical to own.) Again, to answer your question. You CAN use the Wii U Gamepad. Just keep in mind its best to have an additional 2- 4 controllers should you want to play along side others, from your console. Personally I prefer the wheel controllers if you want to play competitively. Just know you will need a "nunchuck" (Game Stick Controller) for each wheel used. Shop around, find the best deal. The wheel does require getting use to but its very easy to master. Plus you want to play fairly against all others using the same game controller, at once. Over time, I think you will prefer playing with the wheel over the game pad. (Just my opinion)My kids love it and I get a "hoot" seeing them all play with a Steering Wheel. I'm a fan, big time! **Q: when will this game be shipped?** A: As a prime member it is not always easy to say I have had Friday game releases delivered the following Monday, but have had them delivered on release day as well. I have only preordered 3 Nintendo games on Amazon 2 of which came in the following Monday the 3rd came in the day before release day. I have decided to pre-order from a brick and mortar store when it comes to Nintendo and since I am giving up my prime status in July will go that route for all of my games. **Q: Will I be able to play this game on my regular Wii? Or do I have to have the Wii U console?** A: There is a really nice bundle for Wii U Mario Kart that basically gets you the game FREE! Wit the extra free download game it's a pretty sweet deal. **Q: I assume that we're going to get the Club Nintendo download code for one free copy of either SMB U, Pikmin, Zelda Wind Waker or Wii Party U, correct?** A: Yes, you must register Mario Kart 8 between 5/30/14 (12:00a.m. ET) and 7/31/14 (11:59 p.m. PT) on Club Nintendo and you'll receive a free download code for the digital version of one of four free games. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome game, kids really enjoyed it *by A***Y on 13 February 2016* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New Racing Season Opens with Mario Kart 8 *by M***S on 13 April 2015* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truck load of difference visually while still keeping the new features enjoyable. *by T***R on 2 July 2014* ## Frequently Bought Together - Mario Kart 8 - Wii U - Super Smash Brothers - Nintendo Wii U - Super Mario 3D World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/276109560-mario-kart-8-wii-u](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/276109560-mario-kart-8-wii-u) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
