The Lucky Seven is a special item that first appeared in Mario Kart 7. It is depicted as a red number "7", matching the one from the game's logo. The name originates from a symbol on slot machines, where three sevens results in a jackpot. Though the Lucky Seven does not appear in Mario Kart 8, the game features a similar type of item instead, Crazy Eight, which gives the same seven items as well as a coin.
History[edit]
Mario Kart 7[edit]
The Lucky Seven is an item in Mario Kart 7. Racers in approximately fourth to sixth place can receive them from Item Boxes, and the Lucky Seven has a rarity on par with the Spiny Shell. When used, seven items appear surrounding the racer's kart rotating similarly to the Triple Green or Red Shells. The racer can then use them one by one; the item used is the one closest to the front of the kart. The Lucky Seven contains the following items; a Banana, a Green Shell, a Red Shell, a Mushroom, a Star, a Blooper, and a Bob-omb. If the item settings in VS or Battle modes are set to Shells Only, Bananas Only, Mushrooms Only, or Bob-ombs Only, then all seven items will be the dominant item. If Shells Only is on, the player will have seven Red Shells. Like Triple Green or Red Shells, opposing racers that get too close are hit by the circling items. A Banana or Shell simply hits the opponent, Mushrooms or Stars boost opponents, and a Bob-omb explodes and takes out any items that a racer had yet to use. A collision with the Blooper will put a single splotch of ink on the opponent's screen. In normal racing, only players can obtain the Lucky Seven, not CPUs, though in other item settings in VS or Battle Mode, CPUs can obtain the Lucky Seven.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
The Lucky Seven is an item in Mario Kart Tour. A difference from before is that the Star has been replaced by the Super Horn. It is the special item of King Boo, Pauline, Daisy (Holiday Cheer), Luigi (Classic), Mario (Chef), Mario (Halloween), Luigi (Painter), Peach (Happi), Mario (Satellaview), Poochy, Nabbit, Lakitu (Party Time), Chargin' Chuck, Light-blue Shy Guy (Explorer) and the Silver, King Boo, Nabbit and Santa Mii Racing Suits. This time, all the items are used in rapid succession in a specific order (Red Shell, Banana, Green Shell, Bob-omb, Super Horn, Mushroom, and Blooper), rather than one at a time by the player. The driver will also perform a trick animation. When Lucky Seven+ is active, three coins are added to the mix of items.
