Good racing games for the Wii/Gamecube

[ghost recon88]

I've already got Mario Kart Wii, Excite Truck, and F-Zero GX (Gamecube). None of the Need for Speed games seem to that well of ratings. Any other racing games I should consider, maybe one that slipped between the cracks? Looking for something with multiplayer options as I mainly just play with my friends. Excitebots looks kinda dumb...

Mario Kart for the GC was more fun to me than the Wii version.

If you're not hung up on vehicle racing games, there are always the SSX entries for the platforms (Tricky for Gamecube, Blur for Wii). Avoid Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam like the plague that it is.

Mario Kart Double Dash is a must.

I think Need For Speed Most Wanted for the GameCube would be worth picking up. Most Wanted is generally thought of as the best recent NFS game.

Need for Speed Nitro for Wii - uncomplicated race game.
Many race modus give a lot of varieties.

Great game from Electronics Arts !
