Mario Kart 7
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Game Information
Release Date: December 4, 2011
Developers: Nintendo EAD Group No. 1, Retro Studios
Publishers: Nintendo
Platforms: Nintendo 3DS
Genre: Racing
Players: 1, Multiplayer 2-8



Synopsis
The latest installment of the Mario Kart franchise brings Mushroom Kingdom racing fun into 3D. For the first time, drivers explore new competitive kart possibilities such as soaring through the skies or plunging to the depths of the sea. New courses, strategic new abilities and customizable karts bring the racing excitement to new levels.



Gameplay
The player starts out by choosing one of the many characters introduced in Mario Kart 7. In Mario Kart 7, the player can customize their kart to their likings. The player has the ability to change the kart itself, the wheels, and a new feature to the game, a hang glider. Players will use a variety of power-ups to achieve an edge over their competitors during races. Unlike the other Mario Kart games on the DS, Mario Kart 7 also features a first-person view to the game for the player to experience. By collecting coins on the track, the player's top speed is increased and can only carry 10 coins max. The player will be able to race in 32 different race tracks that have constructed out from various Mario games. Some racetracks from previous Mario Kart games have been brought onto Mario Kart 7 also. And on some racetracks, the player will have to avoid some obstacles located on various parts of the racetrack that they could provide either an advantage or disadvantage for the racers.



Game Modes
Grand Prix: The player races against 7 other AI racers on 4 different tracks which the player with the most points is rewarded a trophy and an unlockable.
Time Trail: In time trails, the player is setup alone racing to set the fastest time on a track.
Balloon Battle: In balloon battle, multiple players are pitted against each other to use power-ups to make other opponents lose their balloons. the last player with any amount of balloons left wins.
Coin Runner: Players are put into equal teams and must collect as many coins as they can within the time limit while avoiding power-ups being used against them from the other team. The team with the most coins wins the game.



Graphics
The graphics in Mario Kart 7 are extremely amazing, clear and appealing. Even though the game has the cartoon feeling, the great detail to the race tracks, and background are brilliant. The view of the track is of high definition and the player can view the supreme detail put into this game. Since Mario Kart 7 is on the 3DS, the player can either have the 3-D mode turned on or off based of their preference. For some people, they would rather play the game without 3-D mode activated since the graphics look clearer without it on.



Controls
The controls for Mario Kart 7 are similar to other Mario Kart games on the Nintendo DS systems. The player can easily get comfortable with the controls as the game's controls are the basic controls like most racing games. The player is likely to use only 3 different buttons throughout the entire game so a new player to the Mario Kart series shouldn't have any difficulties getting to the use of the controls. Since the player does use a hang glider during parts of the race, the player should be sensitive on how they control the glider as the glider navigates quicker.



Rating
Gameplay: 9.7/10
Graphics: 9.8/10
Controls 9.8/10
Overall: 10/10



Extra Information
Some of the most well known glitches are found in Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu and GBA Bowser Castle 1, if executed correctly they allow the driver to skip sections of the track. On May 15, 2012 an update was released that made these glitches unusable in multiplayer, but they are still allowed while playing offline.

I liked Mario Kart DS and Wii a lot. This game has the playing style of the DS Version but the graphics of the Wii version. It also takes some of the game mechanics of the Wii but has more of the elements that were in the DS version. It takes a lot from the previous versions of Mario Kart which is a good thing and it does not change much of the formula. I like the additions and the characters that are in the game. The online multiplayer is really good and I hope to use it a lot in the future. One of the best Mario Karts to date.
