A TikTok User Is Slowly Replacing Bits of Their Car With Nintendo Wii Parts
TiKTok users are currently replacing some of their Mazda MX-5 Mk1 cars with a variety of Nintendo Wii accessories, including the Mario Kart steering wheel. He actually drove..
Tyler Atkin- TikTok’s ttptng -Starting there, he replaced his actual steering wheel with a Wii wheel and described driving with cheap plastic as a “horrible experience.”
As reported by VG247He later installed the gearstick on the Wii Nanchuck, the handbreak on the Wii Sports baseball accessory, the floor mat on the Wii Fit yoga mat, and the actual Nintendo Wii on the radio slot.

“I like tinkering with things. I was busy and wanted to record it,” Atkin told IGN. “I put on the Wii wheel to do something about three weeks ago and put it on TikTok. To my mistake, I said this video was played a million times as a joke. Now , There are a few videos that exceed 3 million times. “
The original steering wheel video has been played 3.1 million times, and after it spread in word of mouth, Atkin fans have asked for the addition of an increasingly bizarre Wii base. Installing a real console that was turned on but not yet connected to the screen was one of the biggest requests.
“We need to implement the balance board in some way and bring the Wii remote handbrake closer to that. There are also requests for other consoles such as the PlayStation,” Atkin said. “In reality, the possibilities of simply messing around are endless.”
That means turning his Mazda into a miniature game museum with many different consoles, or creating a sequel to his Wiiata (Miata is the original name of the car and a long-standing nickname). Whether it means or not, fans just have to wait and see.
When asked what the latter would look like, Atkin said, “It’s difficult, but since U is the Wii’s brother, I think it makes sense to use the Mk2 MX5 as my Mk1’s brother.” I admitted.
It’s not a particularly unlikely combo thanks to games like Mario Kart and Gran Turismo, but it seems that cars and games are becoming more and more integrated in recent years. Tesla recently introduced new features such as the ability to play games, including The Witcher 3, while BMW is currently using microtransactions in its luxury cars.
