How to Find Friends in Mario Kart

Mario Kart has, for a long time, been a staple party game. The Nintendo Wii version introduced a Wi-fi-connected multiplayer online mode that added a whole level of depth to the game, as it introduced not only the occasional tournament round and special level to the game, but also the ability to play online with others.
