Cocoto Kart Racer is a kart-racing game released by Neko Entertainment between 2005 and 2009 on major platforms. The original Wii Edition was exclusive to North America and a "sequel" was released on Wii for PAL regions in 2011, but Cocoto Kart Racer 2 is just a revision of the first game branded as a sequel. The only difference is support for the Wii Wheel, aka tilting the Wii Remote to steer, whereas the original release required the Nunchuck.
