Not really a Wii Mario Kart question, but a general Mario Kart inquiry. Is there a real use for the "hop" before the slide? A lot of people seemed disappointed that it wasn't in DD, and then took note when it was in Mario Kart DS. Can you like, hop over banana peels, or something really useful?
Also, I liked the MK 64's feature about being able to cancel out some of the banana peels, and would like to see it put back into the Wii game. I thought that was a nice feature, especially how it didn't work for all of them.
