A '''wheelie''' is a technique that can be used only on a [[bike]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Wheelies slightly increase the speed of the player's bike, but if they bump into an object or opponent while performing one, it cancels and the player loses speed. The player also drops any items deployed out. Also, the speed increase comes at the cost of reduced handling, and turning while performing a wheelie slows down the player substantially. Wheelies will fail if the player tries to perform one without moving, or if they are moving too slowly. | A '''wheelie''' is a technique that can be used only on a [[bike]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

*The wheelie can be used to avoid the effects of [[POW Block]]s, by timing it at a certain point. Players still drop their items, however. Although karts cannot perform wheelies, they can also avoid POW Blocks using the same controls as wheelies (lifting the Wii Remote or pressing {{button|Padup}}). | *The wheelie can be used to avoid the effects of [[POW Block]]s, by timing it at a certain point.
