If Mario Kart Wii left you wanting more, this is where you narrow it down. And if you play on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and Mobile, filter by platform and skip the games you could not play anyway.
Sometimes what you want is not a Mario Kart Wii look-alike but simply the best Arcade Racing Games there are. That is what these rankings are for: no comparison to anything, just the highest-rated games. And if you feel like widening the net, the Sports Games ranking is a good way to run into something you were not expecting.
