When you start up the game, you will come to the main menu.
[edit | edit source]
The main menu has several options:
- Single player (necessary to unlock hidden circuits, characters, and more; see Mario Kart Wii/Unlockables for more info).
- Multiplayer (local play): 2, 3, or 4 players.
- Online: play against up to ?? players online.
- Options.

You will reach a menu with four "licenses". These are the save files for four different players. These can be linked to Miis (note that if a Mii is deleted, the license will be deleted, too).
Licenses will eventually track your progress (once you make some progress). Each little square in the license corresponds to an engine type and circuit, so the top left one is 50CC Mushroom Cup. If you get first place in that cup, the square will be filled with a gold trophy.
After choosing a license, you will be shown a menu with four modes to choose from:
- Grand Prix (necessary for unlockables)
- Time Trial (necessary for unlockables)
- VS
- Battles
