I have two complaints about the Streamliner's presence in this article. First of all, its not even a starting vehicle (Only the standard, Royal Ribbon and Bolt Buggy frames are the starters). Secondly, in the video link, I can't find it. I think it might be confused with the Blue Seven, a kart body that looks a lot like it. | |||

Mario Kart 7 talk

Peach's kart does not chages color depending on the character!!!!!!
I'M MAD. Everytime if I add the fact that a orange kart is in the game wich is similiar to the Birthday Girl, it's removed. Then the "not-fact" that the Birthday Girl changes color is added. TAHT'S UNTRUE. Metal Mario is seen driving it. It was pink. Yoshi was seen driving it. It was pink. So, WHAT? That orange kart is seen driven by Daisy. It's not the Birthday Girl. ~ Qyzxf (talk)
It changes on the color depending on the females. It changes on Peach,Daisy,Rosalina,and Queen Bee. But no one will put that it changes on females only. i got blocked once becasue of an edit war in MK7 so im not riskin anything. -PokeLucas
- I also tried to put that the Classic Kart/Pipe Frame changes color depending on the character. (In the Japanese website Shy Guy is seen driving a Black Classic Kart). But It always gets deleted! It is in the little "movie" that comes with the characters.
Track names
So for some tracks we now have two or three different names for the courses, Japanese translation, European, and North American. Which one are we suppose to use? For instance....when the Star Cup was first revealed the first course was called Piranha Slider. ONM in Europe is calling in Piranha Plant Pipeway, while videos from the LA Auto Show show it as Piranha Plant Slide....so what are we going to do in cases like these? --SinnohMasterGalaxy 10:41, 19 November 2011 (EST)
- Our naming conventions would be to go with whatever English translation is released first worldwide I believe. Bop1996 (Talk)
- But doesn't that make it messy? Nintendo Power in North America called it Cheep Cheep Lagoon before ONM called it Cheep Cheep Cape. It doesn't really make sense to use names from various translations. --SinnohMasterGalaxy 10:50, 19 November 2011 (EST)
I agree with SinnohMasterGalaxy. Names like Wuhu Island Loop do not make sense. The Wuhu Island is the flipping island! So why call the other one "Wuhu Mountain Loop"?!? User:YoshiKart7
I mean, gees... You might just as well call Coconut Mall by it's european name, "Coconut Promenade/Marketplace" or call Mushroom Gorge by it's european name, "Mushroom Cliff" or even call Rainbow Road by it's European name, "Rainbow Boulevard/Track"!! User:YoshiKart7
AN ARTICLE MUST BE MADE FOR WUHU ISLAND.

Please don't type with caps,also why cross out the other comments?. Donaldthescotishtwin
- @YoshiKart7 Where did you get those strange names? I'm European and never heard of them. They doesn't exist. And, all articles have the European names (Karts in MKW, DK's Snowboard Cross) ~ Qyzxf (talk)
@Toad'ShyGuy Those strange names are real. However, they are not used in the English version, but they are used in the German version. I did some research and I found out that some track names of Mario Kart 7 are indeed different between the European/Australian version and the American version. Because of the rules, we need to use the European/Australian names. Here is a list of course names with different names (EU fist, US second):
- Cheep Cheep Cape = Cheep Cheep Lagoon
- Wuhu Island Loop = Wuhu Loop
- Melody Motorway = Music Park
There are probabley a little more course names that may differ from between the versions, however I haven't found enough source. Here is some footage of the Leaf Cup (US version), but this video also shows a bit of the menu, with US track names. rend (talk) (edits)
- What do you mean by rules we have to use the EU/AU names? I just think it actually makes more sense to go with the NA names since they are the same as the Japanese ones. Not to mention all of the NA track names are known now and I don't believe that the EU/AU have all their tracks named yet. --SinnohMasterGalaxy 00:40, 22 November 2011 (EST)
- It's simple. If the game is released first in Europe, we use European names. But if the game released first in North America, we use North American names. Because this game will be released in Europe before America, we use European names. Those are the rules. Even though the American names are mostly the same as the Japanese ones, this isn't a reason to use the American names instead. For example, Art Style: PiCTOBiTS (NA name) is called Art Style: PiCOPiCT in Japan, but it's also called Art Style: PiCOPiCT in Europe. But because it released in America before Europe, we still use the American name, even though the Japanese name is the same as the European name. I would also like to point out that not all the car parts have been revealed yet. Not all the car parts can be confirmed before the release, but some parts probably have different names in Europe as well. If the is game released in Europe, we can more easily add those car parts to MarioWiki, because we don't have to wait for the American name to be revealed. rend (talk) (edits)
- Thanks for clarification. I wasn't sure if you meant the game being released first or the names. --SinnohMasterGalaxy 11:25, 22 November 2011 (EST)

No Single Player VS?
I know what you're gonna say, "Save it for the forum," but that's one thing I ain't standing for! Are you sure that's true?KoopaKiller13 21:15, 21 November 2011 (EST)
- It's true. It's even on the North American website. rend (talk) (edits)
- The phase "save it for the forums" is not an insult or that we don't answer the questions like that, it encourages you to post in the forum's thread instead. The comments like your one doesn't belong on the article's talk. SWFlash
- Save it for the forum is indeed not an insult. Many people make mistakes on what belongs on the talk page and what on the forum. However, I think this question may be asked on the talk page (I may be wrong though). Basically, KoopaKiller13 asked for confirmation of information written on this wiki. It's a question about the hard facts. I don't see any reason why this can't be on the talk. But, it is indeed confirmed VS. is multiplayer only. rend (talk) (edits)
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wouldn't have said that if I used my computer more often, it's very slow (as a matter of fact, I just posted this comment with my 3DS), and I've only been here since around September and I never bothered to ask for a link to the forum. Also, I worded that other comment the wrong way. It should've said "I know I should save comments like this for the forum, but single player Vs. is one thing I ain't standing for." KoopaKiller13 16:29, 22 November 2011 (EST)
THEY'RE LOCKING VS INTO MULTIPLAYER?! DO NOT WANT!!!!!!! Seriously, single player VS is the main reason I play Mario Kart. And that's because I don't have very many friends. But forcing solo players to either do a set of races, a solo race or no race at all is just OVERKILL! Come on Nintendo! The lack of single player VS may have been acceptable in 1992, but, well, it's 2011 now. Racing games have moved on, AND SO SHOULD YOU! CoolTom1337 05:19, 23 November 2011 (EST)
They sure made some costly mistakes in this game--NJE 06:40, 23 November 2011 (EST)
It's a good thing this game has online multiplayer, or else I'd be stuck with Grand Prix, Time Trials, and Battle. I don't have any friends that (currently) have a 3DS. KoopaKiller13 17:05, 23 November 2011 (EST)
- I hate to break it to ya, but it looks like Battle will also be multiplayer exclusive. :( CoolTom1337 04:36, 24 November 2011 (EST)
- There - changed it. We all know we can't have single player Battle without single player VS. CoolTom1337 04:42, 24 November 2011 (EST)
But even then: WHY THE HECK WOULD THEY DO THIS? Is there any good reason? If it had stuff to do with NOTHING BUT the game's release deadline, I'm gonna moan at Nintendo about stuff regarding StarFox 2. CoolTom1337 05:02, 24 November 2011 (EST)
CoolTom1337, because VS. mode is not available in Single Player doesn't directly mean Battle mode isn't in Single Player mode. In fact, Battle Mode IS available in Single Player mode and VS. isn't. So next time, first look if your speculations are true before changing the article. BTW, GameXplain confirmed Mario Kart 7 has many more secrets we don't know about. Nintendo does not want anyone to reveal those secrets yet, so we have to wait till the game is released to find out what those secrets are. rend (talk) (edits)
- IDIOTS! WE CAN'T HAVE BATTLE WITHOUT VS! Seriously. D*** move Nintendo...d*** move. CoolTom1337 03:03, 25 November 2011 (EST)
- Okay seriously. WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY do this?
- Single Player:
- Grand Prix
- Time Trials
VS- Battle
- THAT'S IDIOTIC! WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS?! Tomkid600 is too legit to quit...he's back in the form of CoolTom1337! 04:28, 25 November 2011 (EST)
Calm Down...I saw that Nintendo Have Some Suprises Coming... Mabye Waluigi And VS Mode? We Just Have To wait a week. --Supah Weegee Kart 13:29, 27 November 2011 (EST)
- Well, yeah. Fingers crossed single player VS is one of those surprises. If not, it could be a coming back for Free Run(from Super Circuit), you never know. Tomkid600 is too legit to quit...he's back in the form of CoolTom1337! 02:58, 28 November 2011 (EST)
Kart Names
Classic Kart Changed To Pipe Frame, Royal Ribbon Changed Back To Birthday Girl --SuperLuigiKart 14:06, 22 November 2011 (EST)
Should we only add the European names for the karts in the Kart Customizing, or should we add both the European and North American names for the karts.
User:Username8cp
- Trying the strategy with the course names -- list Nintendo of Europe's names first and link them, then place beside it the names from Nintendo of America's respective versions whenever it's applicable. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 21:21, 22 November 2011 (EST)
Am I the only one that thinks the Tiny Tug and "the boat-like kart" are the same? I'm pretty sure that a tug is a type of boat and tug can't mean anything else. Know what I'm sayin'? Unless someone gives me proof that they're different, I'll find out this Christmas. KoopaKiller13 21:53, 22 November 2011 (EST)
If it's not confirmed then you should just leave it until we know for sure that "the boat-like kart" is the Tiny Tug or not. Username8cp
One of the karts on the list reads Royal Ribbon. Is that the PAL name for the Birthday Girl (NTSC-U name)? I'm asking, because when it comes time to make the kart articles, the North American names will have to be made as redirects (just like with Mario Kart Wii). M&SG (talk) 09:30, 23 November 2011 (EST)
Retro Tracks/Stages
I noticed that the game for each retro track is gone. For example N64 Luigi Raceway has been changed to Luigi Raceway (without the "N64" beside the name). Is this better or should we change it back? Username8cp
- Well, as I put in one of the edit summaries, even though the game itself shows the system abbreviations in regards to which courses the retro tracks came from, the N64, GBA, etc. links were pointing to the games themselves. It's better to just have the course names on there and just link to their respective articles instead, IMO. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 22:09, 22 November 2011 (EST)
For stages like SNES Rainbow Road, people that have never played a Mario Kart game before wouldn't know which game that Rainbow Road is from when their looking at the page. I'm not trying to say that you have to change it back or that you should. User:Username8cp
- Actually, the game itself would. I understand where you're coming from on that case, though. Besides, if the developers didn't attach the abbreviations (line SNES Rainbow Road), it's an immediate red flag in terms of consistency with saying which installment that course originally came from. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 22:20, 22 November 2011 (EST)
- I suspect that someone else checked this section too, and this has caused me to overrule said edits of taking links out of the article itself. The grounds were -- the system abbreviations were to be link to the game articles in question AND other articles have attempted this approach since Mario Kart DS. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 17:35, 24 November 2011 (EST)
Coins
Has Nintendo confirmed that coins will have the same function as in the original or Super Circuit? I ask because there's no citation and I haven't seen any videos that show the coins working like that. --LazyLord777 05:11, 23 November 2011 (EST)
I believe 10 coins give you extra speed like in the old days, but nobody said anything about other functions (than again, nobody said that they won't). KoopaKiller13 08:13, 23 November 2011 (EST)
Here is some information about coins! rend (talk) (edits)
The unlocking criteria
Where did we get this from and is the source generally reliable? KoopaKiller13 15:31, 23 November 2011 (EST)
Also, why are we suddenly taking the current revealed roster as Gospel? I thought it had been decided that it would be considered "current" instead of "this is how it is" until the game is released. As in the past (including but, not limited to Mario Kart Wii) websites have never updated to the full roster? I just think we need a more reliable source. And I would like to emphasis again ... this site that has given us the unlocking criteria, are the generally a reliable source? Considering the game hasn't been released anywhere ... hm? Despot_joil
- They make previews of games, so, the information that provide is likewise reliable. I'm aware that the character's list will go to a further expansion, but we need to adhere to the current situation (although the same source that tell the unlocking criteria says that they don't want to put more information about that, but that's pretty biased and could not mention directly to the characters)
Wait...doesn't that mean THEY REALLY DID CUT WALUIGI? CoolTom1337 04:45, 24 November 2011 (EST)
Should I add a spoiler warning? Lily
- According to this proposal, no. SWFlash
@CoolTom1337 Would you people stop already with Wa-freakin'-luigi? He left, he got the axe, HE GOT TAKEN OUT, DAMN IT! Just leave it alone! If you want to see him, play a different game. You don't have to stop moping about, you just can't mope HERE! KoopaKiller13 12:05, 26 November 2011 (EST)
And you don't exactly need to complain about their moping. It doesn't contribute to the topic. Speaking of contributing to the topic, there is still a chance for anything to happen, as apparently there are some things that they "can't talk about yet." MarioComix 16:50, 26 November 2011 (EST)
Size?
- Someone inputted the size classes for the characters. Is there an official source that confirms the classes? M&SG (talk) 09:09, 24 November 2011 (EST)
Classic Kart
I saw Mario with a red Classic Kart adn Shy Guy with a black one. Should we add that the Classic Kart changes color depending on character? Tails777 Talk to me!
- We don't know that for sure, and we won't until the game comes out, so no. Mario4Ever (talk)
- I do. I saw it in Shy Guy's short footage on the Japanese website. Tails777 Talk to me!
Suprises
According to one of the Mario Kart 7 sources, there will be suprises revealed on December, 4 when the game is released. However I am still rather skeptical because the so called "suprises" are only mentioned on one source. However if this isn't fake, that could mean some of the suprises could be, regular VS player mode, more drivable characters, and more karts and customizable pieces. That means we shouldn't be assuming that everything is confirmed, like everyone has been doing. -User:FireFlower
- And exactly what source did you get this info from? ! 19:57, 25 November 2011 (EST)
- I got the suprise information from Source 14 on the Mario Kart 7 page. -User:FireFlower
NEW MARIO KART 7 FOOTAGE!!
I always try to post a link for complete footage of the special and lightning cup, but is always deleted! Here are the links:*Complete Star Cup and Courses

Adjustable amount of laps online?
Someone on youtube has said that the amount of laps are changable in online races [1] You can choose how many laps you want on tracks in your own Mario Kart 7 community page options.

Mirror Mode?
Is Mirror Mode in this game?--NJE 12:11, 27 November 2011 (EST)
yes it is, but I think it should be in the article--NJE 12:13, 27 November 2011 (EST)
Blue Shy Guy
Look at that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otM5czMJ1L0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
Shy Guy is blue. It probably confirms that he has alternate colors. So, we can imagine Yoshi has alternate colors to.
Or, another possibility: Blue Shy Guy is another secret character. But I don't think so. Fire-Luigi 14:11, 29 November 2011 (EST)
Nintendo would probably think alternative colors would be useless. They're only in the baseball series to fill up the teams. But they should be in the MK series, because I hate racing against exact duplicates of characters in wi-fi. KoopaKiller13 16:48, 30 November 2011 (EST)

Starting Vehicle Parts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxHuDr4eB7Y The Default Frames are Standard, Bolt Buggy, and Birthday Girl. You start out with Normal, Monster, and Roller Tires, and you only have the Super Glider. Someone please put the rest of the parts in the unlockables section! Thanks! -TidalFlare
New Images
On the Japanese website there is some new art of characters found as downloadable desktop backgrounds. Here is a link: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/amkj/wallpaper/index.html I'm unsure if they will be helpful. However as they are new character art I thought I'd share. I have yet been unable to find much more information since the Japanese release. Despot_joil
- I think if you can copy the pics from the vids of the Special and Lightning cup or the desktop, you can add them. PokeLucas (talk)
- If this is the real deal (which I'm 90% sure it is), those said arts seen on those wallpapers will be relayed to the press outside of Japan soon enough, but don't hold me on that. But one things for sure, when they do, we must have these in their respective sections of the main article itself A.S.A.P. (preferably on the related gallery page). --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan!

Character Bonuses
The Character Bonuses are messed up. I'm pretty sure Bowser, Metal Mario, and Honey Queen don't have 2 as their weight stat. Could someone please fix it? I tried to but someone undid it. Y0SHI3gg 22:12, 30 November 2011 (EST)

Kart Parts
My brother just got the game and there is something I would like to point out. We all know that you can unlock kart parts by collecting coins. MarioWiki now has a list that shows how to unlock the kart parts. According to the MarioWiki, by collecting 50 coins, the player will receive the Red Monster wheels, however my brother received the B Dasher kart frame by collecting 50 coins. All the other parts my brother unlocked are also different then the MarioWiki tells. Why? The player will never know which part he/she will unlock next because the kart part the player unlocks is randomly selected. rend (talk) (edits)
- If that so, then the unlocking criteria should talk only the amount of coins to get the parts...
- One more thing! In an Iwata Asks it's also confirmed that it's possible to unlock kart parts with StreetPass. If the player has received StreetPass data with a kart part he/she hasn't unlocked yet, the player must beat the data to receive it's kart part. The kart unlocking system of Mario Kart 7 is probably meant to be flexible. rend (talk) (edits)
Streamliner?
I have two complaints about the Streamliner's presence in this article. First of all, its not even a starting vehicle (Only the standard, Royal Ribbon and Bolt Buggy frames are the starters). Secondly, in the video link, I can't find it. I think it might be confused with the Blue Seven, a kart body that looks a lot like it.
And while I'm at it, I'd just like to point out that the Growlster is the same as the Bruiser, its just the UK name for it. User:ThatWasPeachy
