'''''Mario Kart 7''''' is a | '''''Mario Kart 7''''' is a racing game developed by [[Nintendo EAD]] and [[Retro Studios]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It is the seventh console installment in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] (hence the game's title), and the second (the first being ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'') installment in the ''Mario'' series overall (excluding crossover installments) to be localized to Dutch, Portuguese, and Russian. Additionally, it is the first ''Mario Kart'' game to be developed by more than one video game developer, namely Nintendo EAD and Retro Studios, and the second ''Mario Kart'' to have a different video game developer (not including the ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series), the first being ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''. | ||
The main new feature of this installment is the hang gliding and | The main new feature of this installment is the hang gliding and underwater driving, which allows racers to glide through the air and race in underwater sections of the new and old tracks. [[Kart]] customization is also introduced instead of racing in pre-made karts like previous titles. In the game, players are able to exchange [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|Ghost]] data and play online in multiplayer mode. Players can also receive Ghost data via SpotPass and race against other player's Ghosts from around the world. Nintendo stated that the game brings "a bunch of new elements" to the ''Mario Kart'' series. | ||
''Mario Kart 7'' is the first [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' game]] to use the [[Nintendo Network]] service as it offers the ability to create custom communities, which would then become one of the features of the service. Once Nintendo introduced retail games that could be downloaded via the Nintendo eShop, ''Mario Kart 7'' was released in 2012 for the eShop, where it requires 635.38 MB (5,083 blocks) to download. | |||

Players compete for gold trophies in the eight Grand Prix cups, four consisting of the [[Nitro Course|new courses]] and four consisting of the [[Retro Course|retro courses]], a returning feature from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''Mario Kart Wii''. Along with Grand Prix, Time Trials and Battle Modes also return. Time Trials have players race on tracks to set records, as well as race against their own or other racers' ghosts. Battle Mode features two different modes; Balloon Battle and Coin Runners, the latter returning from ''Mario Kart Wii''. Players can set their own rules for Battle Mode, choosing CPU difficulty, which items will appear or team games. Online races and battles return, allowing up to 8 players to race or battle using the Nintendo Network online service. Players can also create custom communities, which can be accessed by other players via codes. | ||

Players can now use hang-gliders to navigate through the air and propellers to drive underwater. In addition, players now assemble their own karts, rather than select preset karts as in previous games. It is possible to select the kart's body, wheels, and glider, although some parts need to be unlocked before they can be used, mainly through collecting coins during races. ''Mario Kart 7'' returns to the traditional eight-driver race like in previous installments, instead of the total of twelve as seen in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is also compatible with both SpotPass and StreetPass. | ||
[[ | In this new installment of the ''Mario Kart'' series, [[coin]]s make a prominent return. Coins have not been featured in this way in the recent ''Mario Kart'' games since ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. Coins are to be found along a race track, and can be underwater, on the road, or in the air. Collecting coins up to a maximum of ten slightly increases the player's top speed and, if enough are collected, will allow the player to unlock vehicle parts used for customization. | ||

Among other gameplay mechanics is the vehicle's behavior in the courses. Each element to assemble the vehicle has a function that grants an advantage on certain courses. In other words, speed and handling alter if the player is driving through land, underwater, or in the air. Gliders also provide speed and duration for the vehicle when airborne and can be controlled using the {{button|3ds|Stick}}. Players can tilt the {{button|3ds|Stick}} either up or down to fall quickly or gently, respectively. Additionally, when driving underwater, the kart's handling, speed, and drifting can considerably change compared to when driving on land. | Among other gameplay mechanics is the vehicle's behavior in the courses.

In a minor note, an extra track with beats is added to the course's music if the player gets ahead in first place at top speed (frontrunning). This track fades when the player slows down via braking, going off-road, or getting hit by an item. This happens only in 100cc, 150cc, and Mirror class. | In a minor note, an extra track with beats is added to the course's music if the player gets ahead in first place at top speed (frontrunning).

The jump action can also be performed on glider ramps to receive a speed boost when gliding starts. The map is viewed in the bottom screen, but unlike in ''Mario Kart DS'', the map doesn't display course hazards and obstacles. The Single Player version of VS mode from the other ''Mario Kart'' games and the mission mode from ''Mario Kart DS'' are also removed. | ||

As usual in the ''Mario Kart'' series, ''Mario Kart 7'' has the Grand Prix, where a single player has to compete against computer-controlled opponents to obtain the trophies of the eight cups in the game. The Grand Prix has three engine classes: 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc. The higher the engine class, the harder the races will be against the opponents. In this mode, by beating the first cups available, the user unlocks the other cups as well as new elements such as the kart's parts (by collecting coins in each race) or a new playable character. By completing all the engine classes available at the start, the player unlocks the Mirror class. | As usual in the ''Mario Kart'' series, ''Mario Kart 7'' has the Grand Prix, where a single player has to compete against computer-controlled opponents in order to obtain the trophies of the eight cups in the game.

A notable change featured in the game is the point system given to the racers after a race in Grand Prix mode. It is similar to ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', but racers who finish a race in fourth place or lower get an extra point. Also, 4th place is not a losing place, similar to ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' (which has 12 racers).

Online play in Communities does not use the VR system. Also, a player's VR counts for both races and battles, as opposed to ''Mario Kart Wii'' with races affecting VR, and battles affecting BR (Battle Rating). | ||

=== | ===Rival order=== | ||
{|style="text-align:center" | Much like in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', all playable characters have a rival order, the order CPU drivers finish at the end of the race. However, unlike in ''Super Mario Kart'', it is more simplified, as two characters are set instead of single characters followed by another single character, etc.. | ||
! | |||
! | Each character's rivals will never change; for example, Bowser will always appear in a Grand Prix if the player is playing as Mario. However, if a set character is supposed to be unlockable, the set character is replaced by a default character until the unlockable character can be used. That will make the default character a third rival that occasionally appears in the race. The only exception to this is Wario, who does not have a third rival due to both of his main rivals being starting characters. | ||

===Body frame=== | |||
Depending on the character, the kart body that's chosen may appear bigger or smaller. This affects how big of a target that character's kart will be; for example, smaller body frames are harder to hit. The character's weight determines the body Frame size, Metal Mario being the only exception, as he's medium size despite being a heavy character. | |||

One prominent change to the classic items is that the Spiny Shell now has been redesigned into a wingless form, similar to the one found in ''Mario Kart 64'' and having a new sound effect. Its overall behavior is also changed as well; the shell now flies lower to the ground and is able to hit other racers on its path. In addition, the explosion is noticeably less powerful compared to previous installments. | Many classic items make a return in ''Mario Kart 7''. The game introduces three new items – the [[Fire Flower]], the [[Super Leaf]], and the [[Lucky Seven]] (the last two of which do not return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''). The [[Thunder Cloud]], [[POW Block]], and [[Mega Mushroom]] from ''Mario Kart Wii'' are absent from the game. The [[Fake Item Box]] from ''Mario Kart 64'', ''Double Dash!!'', ''DS'', and ''Wii'' is also absent, along with [[Boo]] from ''Super Mario Kart'', ''64'', ''Super Circuit'', and ''DS''. Similar to its predecessors, players receive items by driving through an [[Item Box]] found on courses. When players drive through an Item Box, the Item Roulette will select an item. In addition to Item Boxes, [[Coin]]s can be found on the track. Players can collect the coins by driving through them. Picking up a coin increases a player's top speed. If players collect ten coins, their kart is at maximum speed and cannot gain additional coins. Players lose coins if they get hit by an item or fall in a pit. Collecting a certain amount of coins unlocks vehicle parts to select them in the vehicle's customization menu. Also, unlike in its predecessor, the item warning sound will only play if a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] or a [[Bullet Bill]] is approaching. | ||

''Mario Kart 7'' introduces 32 courses that include 16 new courses and 16 retro courses, which include two courses from ''Super Mario Kart'', three from ''Mario Kart 64'', one from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', two from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', four from ''Mario Kart DS'', and four from ''Mario Kart Wii''. It also features three new battle stages, and three Retro ones. Only the [[Mushroom Cup]] and [[Shell Cup]], as well as the battle courses, are available from the start, but upon unlocking them they are available for all game modes, and not just for that specific [[Mario Kart (series)#Engine Class|Engine Class]], unlike past installments. A new feature of ''Mario Kart 7'' is that three of the courses – Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu, and Rainbow Road – have three sections each, with each section counting as one lap. The following charts show the American English names of the tracks, with the British English names in italics. Like in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the retro tracks' width have been shortened, except the DS retro courses, which have been widened. | |||

Some of the most well known glitches are found in [[Wuhu Loop]], [[Maka Wuhu]] and [[Bowser Castle 1 (GBA)|<small>GBA</small> 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 Online Multiplayer. | |||
