I've been following the Stat Boosts table closely since the game was released, including the changes brought about after the Prima guide was released. I was wondering what the copyright of this data might be? As far as I can see it nothing was ripped from the game data. Some data was derived from bars displayed on the game screen and in the book, but the likelihood of the data in the table being exactly how it is represented inside the game seems remote for me. As a full disclaimer, I would like to release an app featuring this data, for iOS and Android to start with. Any thoughts? [[User:Gingerbeardman|Gingerbeardman]] 11:42, 19 January 2012 (EST)

So, one of my first 3DS games was MK7. Years later, I was unable to recover the cartridge. Because I missed how much fun it was, I decided to rebuy the game (which I did). I then went to the 150cc to go unlock all the characters...but when I finished the 150cc class, I never received my Mii. Did I do something wrong, or does it only work for a certain class?

You need to get first in either all of the 50cc cups or all of the 100cc cups to unlock your Mii (I assume you already did but I say this anyway). [[User:Platypus|Platypus]] ([[User talk:Platypus|talk]]) 18:33, 7 June 2016 (EST)

:::EDIT: Just done the tests for sure on Wario Shipyard underwater, yet I see tires with different stability tilting the same. Again, I still don't think that the stability and drift stats exist in MK7. Tilting definitely has to do with handling, as the higher the handling, the better you tilt.

::::Those stats are in the PRIMA guide, in the "Characters" and "Kart Assembly" sections, so they are official. The problem is that there is likely a translation mistake, as the effect of stability has nothing to do with actual stability, according to many reports it has to do with steering. By the way, your test is probably flawed, as there is likely more than one factor that affects how tight you turn, you should have chosen instead the same vehicle setup but two different characters such as Peach and Toad that have the same Handling but different Drift and you should have tested the angular velocity while drifting (time needed to complete a 360° turn).--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:41, 25 November 2015 (EST)

:::::In the end, the in-game stats [http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_7_drivers%27_and_parts%27_statistics have been discovered]; indeed the Stability and Drift stats exist, but their actual name is ''TireFeeling'' and ''DriftStart'', with the latter having only a single in-game stat, ''OuterSlip''. The name was effectively misleading, as in ''Mario Kart Wii'' Drift was mostly proportional to the angular velocity while drifting, while Stability seems more on point.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:58, 6 November 2016 (EST)


== Tournaments? ==
== Tournaments? ==
OK I don't know where to post this but I had this idea: Mario Kart WII had "tournaments" going on, but somewhere in 2014 they quitted with those tournaments. And in Mario Kart 7, you can create "Communities", in which you can race with others who got the code of your community. I wondered if someone (I don't know who) could organize a tournament or championship, which means someone makes a community and shares the code with anyone who wants to join. The tournament or community lasts for exactly a week after it has been created. Whoever has the most points, would win pride and fame for Mario Kart 7! (or something else I dunno) Couldn't they organize some championships? Or are there already tournaments in the form of communities???

== Warning sound continues beeping ==
To do this, go to any course where you can fall down. You will need to continue to race until a racer gets a Spiny Shell. When a racer gets a Spiny Shell, continue racing until you hear a warning sound. When heard, fall off the course. The Spiny Shell will continue to go around to course, but the warning sound will continue to play. {{User|108.6.253.32}}
== Water physics are different between third-person view and first-person view. ==
Something strange I found while playing TT on Rosalina's Ice World. I wanted to see how much time is needed to complete 3 laps by only holding A. The ghost got saved because I never played TT on this track before. Then I decided to do it again, but in first-person view this time. As soon as I reached the underwater section, me and my ghost started taking different routes! I dunno what gets changed exactly, but this is a thing. I'm adding this to the Wiki right now, along with several other well-known trivias. - [[User:GoldMario777|GoldMario777]]
:Being perfectly consistent in Time Trials is pretty much impossible, furthermore you added no visual proof of what you said, so until you add the proof, this consideration about water physics has to be removed.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 07:18, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
I'm sure I was perfectly consistent, I did it twice with both third-person view and first-person view, the only input being A held down, from start to end (I have gyro-controls off), and I got the exact same time between runs that use the same view. I'm going to work on the video proof soon. - [[User:GoldMario777|GoldMario777]]
Okay, so while making the video proof (you can watch it here[https://youtu.be/g6NkpLB0xwg]), I figured out I was wrong, water physics aren't different between view modes, but Rosalina's Ice World's ice ramp's physics does. It may be caused by a shrink of the hitbox in first-person view, but I doubt it since the runs would have desynced right at the beginning if it was the case. - [[User:GoldMario777|GoldMario777]]
:I did a quick look, and that's definitely interesting. I think you should check how much reproducible the test is doing more iterations without changing from first person view to third person view and vice versa - in Mario Kart 8 too collisions in the broadest sense, including interactions with non-flat surfaces, can have some bugs, but at the moment I didn't test that aspect much. One of those bugs is affecting GCN Yoshi Circuit, in the Piranha Plants section, and results in the vehicle sometimes not jumping despite taking a small ramp because in the matter of a single frame it becomes parallel to the surface - if you look at the video frame by frame you clearly see the bug. Since the MK8 engine appears to be based in part on the MK7 engine, I think we must first ensure that one of those collisions bugs isn't happening.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 20:19, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
== Wario's Third Rival ==
Wario, in fact, as a third rival. And this rival is Donkey Kong.
When a CPU Donkey Kong occasionally appears if the player is Wario, he always start in third place. {{unsigned|90.46.167.35}}
:Third rival refers to the character present when the unlockable rival isn’t unlocked. It’s not referring to a character who occasionally starts in the third place position. Since Wario doesn’t have an unlockable rival, he can’t have a rival who replaces a locked character. {{User:Tails777/sig}}08:35, 2 October 2017 (EDT)
No I mean the third rival always start in third place if present. For example if Mario third rival Peach occasionally appears when Metal Mario is unlocked, she will always starts in third place right? Then if Donkey Kong occassionally appears is the player is Wario he will always start in third place. Despite his main rivals are starting characters, Wario has a third rival. {{unsigned|90.46.167.35}}
:The rivals are the characters who are always present. Characters who are occasionally in the third spot are not considered rivals. Also, please remember to sign your comments. {{User:Tails777/sig}}17:57, 3 October 2017 (EDT)
You don't believe me?
https://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/997822-mario-kart-7/faqs/63569 {{unsigned|90.46.167.35}}
:I haven't truly noticed this when I personally play the game. But once again, the "third rival" term you're using and the one the article is using is already vastly different. I personally don't believe that occasional rivals are anything to really mention. If each character had a third rival that ''always'' appeared, that'd be different, but if it's occasional, it's not really worth mentioning. So in the case of Wario's third rival, it's not who starts in the third position, it's the character who takes the place of the currently locked rival for that character. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
== Starting Parts ==
Unlocking Criteria :
The only parts that are already unlocked are the Standard kart, the Standard tires, the Super Glider, and '''four random parts.'''
"four random parts" should be remplaced by "the Birthday Girl, the Bolt Buggy, the Monster tires and the Roller tires."
{{unsigned|90.46.214.18}}
:That may be what you got. Have you restarted multiple times and they all got the same result? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:20, 1 June 2018 (EDT)
Yes, I restarted three times and I swear I got those aforementioned parts at start over and over again so I say it's not four random parts.
== Mario Kart Tour ==
Can we mention Mario Kart Tour in this article?  Mario Kart Tour is heavily based on this game, and I think it should be at least included in the "References in later games" section. --[[User:Jacklavin|Jacklavin]] ([[User talk:Jacklavin|talk]]) 11:34, May 23, 2020 (EDT)

The game has the Netherlands Antilles for online play, even though this country has been dissolved over a year before the game's release. --[[User:LucianoTheWindowsFan|LucianoTheWindowsFan]] ([[User talk:LucianoTheWindowsFan|talk]]) 11:56, February 21, 2021 (EST)
== Typo in one of the staff ghost names ==
The expert staff ghost for DS Waluigi Pinball is named Nin★Nshhr, and not Nin★Nahhr like it currently says in the article (it's with an 's' instead of an 'a'). Could anyone fix this?
--[[User:B squo|B squo]] ([[User talk:B squo|talk]]) 15:14, July 3, 2021 (EDT)
