I dunno about that. I've been Smashing since the 64 days, and though I grew accustomed to the GameCube controls in 2001, I find the Wiimote/Nunchuk variety gives it a similar layout with a freer feel. Granted, you have to press right on the D-pad to throw (instead of Z with your right pointer), but it's a short hop for your thumb, now that you have quick access to A and B with your right pointer and thumb. Plus, who doesn't love the characters talking to you through the Wiimote? Perhaps I'm just too lazy to be unplugging and replugging my Wavebird receivers all the time. Though it's not like I've been playing anything BESIDES Smashy Smash for the past few weeks. My ol' plastic guitar is gettin' dusty. :-P As for Mario Kart, definitely just the Wiimote. If you want freedom, can't get any lighter than that. Wiiiii!!! “Since the majority of hardcore Brawl users prefer the GameCube controller over any other control scheme available”…

I can't see the wheel adding a whole lot to the experience, and there's really no need to use the Game Cube controller for it. It's not like racing games have complicated controls.
