Just wondering do u unlock the gold steering wheel in Mario kart 8 by using motion controls for fifty races. If u do can I use the motion controls on the game pad or does it have to be on the wii remote. I just did it with motion controls on the game pad but it did not unlock.

I'm really feeling it.

As far as I'm aware you need to win at least 50% of the most recent 100 races with motion controls (either GamePad or Wii Remote) in order to unlock the gold steering wheel. It's your little prize for putting up with those crappy controls for so long.

I like the new controls better than the MK Wii controls. I actually play better with the motion controls, so ya...

I preferred motion controls on MK Wii but I have not been able to get in to them on MK8.

Wii was more designed around the control method IMO....for me its the tricks. On Wii you simply shake to do a trick in the air while on MK8 you have to time it better. When I play with tilt controls I find myself still using a button for tricks so it takes much of the fun out of motion control for me....maybe I will try out tilt controls some more.

What I am annoyed by is not showing star rankings online. Only tilt controls is lame. Why did I bust my butt to 3 star everything if I can't show off my ranking online?

Well, if you use the golden kart pieces, people know you completed whatever mode you get those from. I've only 3 starred the GPs. I haven't bothered with the time trials or battle mode, TBH.

I played exclusively with motion controls on the Wii but I haven't bothered at all on the Wii U. It just seems stupid to be using motion controls while you're playing off-TV at least IMO. Then once I'm used to that I'm going to play with the controls I'm used to when I'm not playing off-TV.
