This is a list of glitches in the game Mario Kart 7.
Glitches
Template:Conjecturaltext
In local multiplayer, if an A.I. player is struck before it flies off a glide ramp, making it fall into the lava, it respawns. Then, after it respawns, it may drive directly into the lava. The computer player can repeat this several times.
Template:Conjecturaltext
In Balloon Battle, if the player has one balloon left, the game's about to stop, and an item is going to hit them. If the item hits the player when time runs out, they will still have the balloon.
Template:Conjecturaltext
In Piranha Plant Slide, the player must be in first place. If the player gets hit with a Spiny Shell underwater while the player is midair, the Spiny Shell is upside down and slows. Afterward, Spiny Shell effects behave normally.
Template:Conjecturaltext
When a Blue Spiny Shell is chasing the player and the player goes out of bounds and falls down a hole, but the Blue Spiny Shell has not yet hit the player, the alarm sound continuously plays while the Spiny Shell goes around the course, only stopping when the Blue Spiny Shell hits the player.
Template:Conjecturaltext
The player must go to any course with a Glider Ramp and must have a Bullet Bill, when the player gets right near the ramp and use the Bullet Bill right when the player gets on the ramp. If done correctly, the Bullet Bill will spin once.
Template:Conjecturaltext
If the player goes to the right side of the split path and stops at the end of the fence, they should then accelerate and hold right on the circle pad, and fall off the edge. If done right, the player should fall through the striped curb, down to the bottom floor where the tables and chairs are. Luckily they can go through the fence, instead of having to be stuck in the area forever. It is recommended that the player should use a feather-weight character and the Koopa Clown kart and Roller/Mushroom tires to do the glitch easily.
Template:Conjecturaltext
If the player does the Maple Treeway Shortcut Glitch and lands in the right place, they can die in the canon. Lakitu will pick the player up normally.
Template:Conjecturaltext
Just before the bridge where the dinosaurs head is shown, the gliding ramp appears. If the player has the Flower Glider (because it's light and gets very high air) and goes off the gliding ramp and skips over the fence line, the game will count that as a lap. The player can also cut across the portion of the rock nearest to the fence, preferably landing in front of the last small ramp.
Template:Conjecturaltext
It's possible to get hit by an item and get thrown up into the air by a waterfall spout simultaneously. To perform the glitch, the player needs to get hit with a Shell, or drive over a Banana, just before the waterfall spout spews out water. If performed correctly, the player should be hit by the Banana/ Shell, and be thrown up in the air, unharmed by the Waterfall Spout. Interestingly, this glitch can be performed in the original Dino Dino Jungle too, in the same manner.
Template:Conjecturaltext
In DK Jungle, While going off of the first gliding ramp without tricking, if the player goes off of the first ramp before the temple, the sound for the glider opening will play. If the player tricks off of it, the kart will spin as if it was tricking off of a gliding ramp.
Template:Conjecturaltext
Upon reaching the glider panel, it is possible to glide over some areas of the fenced-off area, many parts of which will result in Lakitu pulling the player back onto the main course. However, near where the out-of-bounds area meets the track, it is possible for the player to land inside the area and clip through the fencing at the same time, without any problems or Coin losses.
Template:Conjecturaltext
In local multiplayer, sometimes, when a racer (can be a CPU or a human player) gets hit and the balloon pops, another balloon immediately respawns and takes its spot. This glitch occurs more often if the two players are away from each other.
Template:Conjecturaltext
This glitch requires two Nintendo 3DS systems and one Mario Kart 7 game cartridge. First, Mario Kart 7 must be in the other Nintendo 3DS with StreetPass activated. Next, the player must change the Mii, message, Grand Prix, and kart. Next, the player should put Mario Kart 7 back into the first 3DS and revert everything. Next, the player should get a StreetPass from the second 3DS. Mario Kart 7 will have a StreetPass message. When the player opens the game to check it, no new Mii will be there, nor will there be any other changes (unless the player received SpotPass ghosts.)
Template:Conjecturaltext
On GBA Bowser Castle 1, if the player jumps over the wall into the lava right before the 3rd turn, the player will be re-spawned near the second Boost Panel. This glitch saves 1 second, and can be done without a mushroom if the player drifts and jumps on the left wall after the 2nd turn and drives straight until he reaches the part where the two walls intersect.[1]
Note: As of May 15, 2012, a patch has been released for Mario Kart 7, which renders this glitch unusable in Online Multiplayer. It can still be performed offline, however.
Template:Conjecturaltext
Sometimes on occasion, some information of the Ghost Data (seen in the Time Trial track selection screen) will become jumbled and become incorrect. Information such as Ghost Time, and the country flag. This can be fixed by moving through the Ghost list until the information reloads itself.[2]
Template:Conjecturaltext
When the player reaches a blue ramp which activates the glider, they should turn around and drive backwards towards the ramp. Every time the player touches the ramp, they will just go forward as if they got bumped lightly and the sound effect for the glider coming out will play. Occasionally, the glider will come out, but the racer will go backwards.[3]
Template:Conjecturaltext
- The player needs to go to Neo Bowser City (Koopa City) to perform this glitch. The player then has to go straight without turning. When they hit the wall they have to switch to gyro controls. The player next has to turn to the left a bit slowly and the cameras will go back as if the player is not using gyro controls. But, the player will be able to use gyro controls even though the cameras are showing the back of the kart. If the player turns around the cameras go back to first-person view.[4]
- The player will need to go to N64 Kalimari Desert and drive to either side of the tunnel. To perform this glitch, the player must press both the
and the 
buttons near the bricks of the tunnel's wall. They must then activate the gyro controls and spin around with the gyro controls or the 
. While spinning, the camera will once again switch to the third-person view. Likewise, driving away will end the glitch.
Template:Conjecturaltext
This glitch can be done by anyone and any kart but they must have a mushroom. The player has to go to Maple Treeway and go on the gliding ramp in the cannon and quickly press B so they'll fall but when they are brought back they'll be at the start of the tree with bunches of leaves but where the ramp is where they just glided from.
Template:Conjecturaltext
When playing wth three or more players on Local Multiplayer with the CPUs on, if any players drop out before the race begins, when the race does begin that player's character and kart will be removed from the race as soon as Lakitu has begun it, with the game stating that they have already finished in the position that they started. As well as this, one or two of the CPUs may become idle, refusing to move by themselves until the next race has been chosen and has started. Players who left the group will be removed from the game completely, without any CPUs taking control of their kart.
Template:Conjecturaltext
On this track, just after the start of the second section, in the mouth of the cave, if the player turns around and hops in the water just after the fence ends, or uses a Mushroom to hit the rocks on the wall, the racer will be caught by Lakitu and, if done correctly, will make the player start at another area of the track, next to Summerstone Castle and at the top of the mountain, near the third section.[5] [6] This gives the racer a big advantage on the race, being easier to do in Time Trials as the player will start with three Mushrooms. The time saved is approximately 20 seconds.
This glitch can also be performed by landing in the water beside the fence without touching the rocks. This is a much easier way to do the glitch and can be done without the help of a mushroom.
Note: As of May 15, 2012, a patch has been released for Mario Kart 7, which renders this glitch unusable in Online Multiplayer. It can still be performed offline, however.
Template:Conjecturaltext
The player needs to be Metal Mario in the B Dasher in Slim wheels and take the shortcut at the beginning of the level. In the part before the cannon where the player should turn left, the player should not. When going up the wall the player should then hold left and hop. The player might bounce on the floor and enter the cannon from a high altitude. If done correctly, the player will fly over part of the course and land by the wigglers
Template:Conjecturaltext
The player needs to go to DK Jungle or GBA Bowser Castle 1 to perform this glitch. They will need to position themself (near the Temple in DK Jungle) to face the left corner right beside the entrance. When they use the boost, the player will start jumping multiple times non-stop. The player will have to hold the button to keep their kart jumping. If they let go of the button, they will get a small boost and move forward. This glitch is hard to master.
Template:Conjecturaltext
- At the very beginning of the race, just before the racers enter the air vent area, it is possible to be pushed through the guardrails by a heavier opponent. This causes the player to helplessly fall to the ground, as if they had fallen off of the course normally. Lakitu will then pick them up as normal and then place them just before the curve.
- When finishing the 1st lap while the glider is still activated, the player can glide under the top portion of the track without using a mushroom. This shortcut saves just about 1 second, but it is very hard to pull off, due to the narrow opening. It will be easier if the player use the wind boost to the left (or right in mirror mode) of the finish line.
Template:Conjecturaltext
This glitch occurs during any race in all classes. The player must be in first place and get hit by a Thunderbolt. If the player is still in first place when the effects of the Thunderbolt wear off, the drumbeat that's added to the background music will be offbeat briefly, after which it will return to normal.
Template:Conjecturaltext
In the spinning tube on Rainbow Road, if the player turns sideways toward a wall and uses a mushroom, if done correctly, the camera will show the character briefly driving on the ceiling.
This glitch also appears in Piranha Plant Slide, the same way, though in the pipe after the three water lines after the starting line.
Template:Conjecturaltext
- In Piranha Plant Slide, when going down the pipe to go underwater, the player must jump at the right time in the middle of the pipe. They will twirl around and cling to the ceiling for a temporary amount of time. Also, if the player uses a Mushroom and jumps in the same spot, the player will twirl around the pipe, and spin out for no reason.
- This glitch also appears in Koopa Cape, when in the underwater pipe. One should hit one of the Cheep-Cheeps that swim through the pipe now and then, right at the moment that a trick is done over one of the small ramps. If one lands on a Cheep-Cheep, they bounce off to the ceiling and twirl around in the pipe. Another glitch can also be done. While the player goes down the pipe into the underwater section, the player must turn in the right spot. Then, they will be flipped upside down temporarily.
- This glitch also appears in Rosalina's Ice World. After the long turn right after the start, there is a corner with ceiling where the glitch can appear. One should be pushed away by a heavier person so that they hit the pointed top-right in order to twirl around the road.
- This glitch can appear in Bowser's Castle, but is extremely hard to perform. One must drive as far as possible on the left side of the large, spinning trunk and they should either use a mushroom, or be pushed away by a heavier character to bump into one of the steel pins that appear on the edge. If that pin at the moment touches the wall it is aside of, the player will get stuck for a couple of seconds and they will twirl and stay in the air stationary. They will fall down again when they have stopped with twirling.
Template:Conjecturaltext
The player can use any kart, character and glider; the glitch requires a Mushroom.
At the last ramp, the player must go straight, and cut the corner. When the player is about to fall over the precipice, they must use a Mushroom and hit the mountain above the entrance to the cave. By doing so, the player finds the wooden plank above the entry with the glider on. Also, if the player stays up there for a short time, Lakitu will place them back on the track near the entrance to the cave. The trick is similar to that of Toad Circuit.
Template:Conjecturaltext
A combo's true acceleration is determined only by these intervals: the 0.75, 1.75, 2.75, 3.75, and 4.75 marks.[7] This means that a combo with a 3.5 acceleration stat accelerates at the same rate as a combo with a 2.75 acceleration stat.
Template:Conjecturaltext
For an unknown reason, if the player does not check on the Mario Kart Channel for a long period of time, when they attempt to race with anyone from Streetpass, the 3DS will forever loop a "preparing screen". If the lid on the Nintendo 3DS is closed, or put into Sleep Mode on the 2DS, the 3DS will show the same image on the bottom and the Top screen, with the top screen askew from the rest.
Template:Conjecturaltext
In Rainbow Road, the player must drive on the second blue Boost Pad to use the glider. They must slowly glide down and get under the next road. Gliding up, the player will occasionally cross it.
Template:Conjecturaltext
To attempt this glitch, the player must be on Toad Circuit and have at least one Mushroom. When the gliding ramp becomes available, the player must carefully aim where the red Toad balloon is. When the player just starts gliding, they must pass the bridge and then aim towards the ground (without actually touching it - the player just has to be close to the ground). When the player passes the Coins, they must use the Mushroom and go up at the same time. Then the player will hit the face of the Toad balloon. While still pointing up, the player will then later hit the top edge of the tunnel. If done correctly, the player will become stuck on the top edge of the tunnel. The only way to end this glitch is to just point towards the ground or by pressing the B button. There are also some cases where the player goes through the ground when trying to end the glitch.[8]
Template:Conjecturaltext
It is possible to cause a banana to clip through the player's kart while reversing. If a character somehow loses the second and third banana, only leaving the banana furthest away from the kart, and reverses, the banana left will still be attached to the kart as if it was still chained to the others. However, should the player reverse, the banana 'chain', following where the kart has been, will temporarily clip inside the kart itself.
Template:Conjecturaltext
This glitch requires the Roller wheels. In Piranha Plant Slide, directly after the start, three lines, one yellow, one red and one green, split the road in three sections. One should do a trick over the ramp and land right at the highest point of the yellow-lined road. If done correctly, the camera switches angles and the player can watch right through the wall. The effect stops if the player goes underwater after the road.
Template:Conjecturaltext
This glitch can be attempted in any kart combination but the player will have to play as Wiggler. If Wiggler is in the middle of a Trick or cheer and gets hit by any item, the sound effect will play but Wiggler won't turn red.
Template:Conjecturaltext
Sometimes, if a player finishes 2nd online, but bumps into first as they finish, the player who came second will hear the 1st place music, making that music the wrong piece.
Template:Conjecturaltext
- On this track, on the dirt path by the lighthouse leading to the gliding section, if the player turns horizontally right on the boost pad and hops with a boost into the ocean, the player will be placed at the entrance to the town by Lakitu. This glitch is harder than the Maka Wuhu and saves about 3.5 seconds compared to 20 on Maka Wuhu.
- Before the last turn of the second section, there is a tree on the right side. If a Mushroom is used to boost through the grass just to the left of the tree and into the ocean, Lakitu will place the player just after the first turn of the third section. However, when crossing the finish line, it shows the player just crossing into the third section and immediately finishing, as the shortcut warps the player past the section border. This allows for third-section times to be less than 0.3 seconds.[9]
Note:As of May 15, 2012, a patch has been released for "Mario Kart 7", which renders these two glitches unusable in Online Multiplayer. They can still be performed offline, however.
