The color is off a little in the above video, but the intro cutscene for Mario Kart Wii in Japan shows off some sweet stuff. We're sure it'll be no different than the intro we get here in the states, but we're glad to have had this early look. The whole "stunting thing" looks a lot more manageable and it appears to actually flow with the game nicely, dashing our fears that our beloved Mario Kart franchise would not be enjoyable on the Wii. Personally, we don't know why we ever had any doubt. It's Nintendo we're talking about, after all!

Well, that might just happen, since according to the Eurogamer review of MK Wii, there is no 4 Player Free-For-All Battle Mode, it's only possible to play that in teams; 2 Player Co-Op Grand Prix is also not possible.
