Review: Traditional Kart Racing - First off - I have been a kart fan since the SNES version many years back . . . with my most recent versions being Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii. This version brought to the 3DS far exceeded my expectations. This was my first attempt with a new handheld nintendo since the days of the GBA first came out. I was pleasently suprised by the fluid nature and natural controls the system and games offered. Mario Kart 7 was one of the first games I picked up with the new system (the new mario and zelda OoT being the others. The tradition has stayed true for the most part of the game, but brought back some old flare and new flare. You now get speed boost from coins, and loose coins as you get "hit" by other players power ups. They stack to a certain point, but then you don't receive anymore added benefit from them. They added in some new attacks which was nice, 7 is a fun one where you get 7 items to use, the spit fire works great as well for taking down multiple racers. The other new feature was the parachute. You have some control of them in the air and can get a series edge over the competition if you use them properly. So practice practice practice. Graphics: The graphics are amazing! If you blew them up on a larger screen they wouldnt be the most advanced, but on such a small platform screen with a 3D interface, it honestly looks better than my wii with HD hookups (480p ...) on a 32" LED tv. Sound: Excellent. Traditional voices, music, and sfx brings this game to life and keeps giving it an edge. Gameplay: Same as before in terms of control, the added benefit of a parachute makes it interesting and can give more players a leading edge who are new to the genre. It's fast, fluid, and the UI is friendly on and off racing. Replay Value: With ample tracks, cups, and game play options. Players old and new will continue to find a way to revisit this game. Time trials keep your competition driven. Online multiplayer keeps you in the loop with your friends. The replay value will always be there. For a quick 3 minute race to beat a time. Or a 15 minute circuit. Over all, I give this game 9 out of 10. There are some hicups - slow online connections, frequently lost games when users loose signals, hard to remember "Friend numbers" (Come on Nintendo, User names!)and still having moments where you want to throw the game because of the infinite numbers of blue shells that go into play ONLY when you're in first place causing you the match. If you're on the edge on buying this game, and you have a 3DS it's a no brainer. This should be on the top of your list. Whether you've played it on the original SNES, or just started with the Wii, you'll enjoy the competitions, fluid graphics, fantastic mario sounds, and immersive game play that is Mario Kart 7. Review: The second best game of all time! - After Ocarina of Time 3D, of course. This game is great. Gameplay-5/5--The computer player are almost as smart as humans, they steal item boxes and Coins that are in front of you, so you can't collect them, they are dead-on precise with items such as Green Shells, the all-new Fire Flower, Bob-ombs, and those Bananas. The Circle Pad is great for the game, and the regular +Control Pad cannot be used. There's an all-new 1st-person mode, where you can tilt your 3DS family console to steer your racer. If you just want to use traditional controls in 1st-person, just use the Circle Pad and don't move the system, or turn the gyro-sensor off in the Mario Kart Channel. The Mario Kart Channel is not like the Wii Version, but an in-game "status and StreetPass" record. You can adjust StreetPass settings, and race time-trial ghosts and in the Grand Prix with Miis that you've met via StreetPass. If you win, you get a new kart-personalization from the Mii if you didn't have it before. Coins make a return, they're used to increase your top speed and unlock kart customizations. Kart customs are new, you can select your Kart body, wheels, and glider. Some Kart bodies return from previous MK games, like the B-Dasher from MKDS. Gliding is new, you go throught air as well as water. The customs each have their own stats. Music-4/5--This game references older Mario Kart Games, especially Mario Kart 64. The one thing I hate- when you're in first place in a race, there's an added beat to the background music. It's good for the Nitro Cups, but for Retro, it's awful. Some retro cups and battle courses have 100% remade music, and it's good for the GP, but for the Battle Courses, ESPECIALLY N64 Big Donut, and DS...(can't remember the name) are worse and is just bad. Most of the music is epic, that's all I can say. Graphics-4.5/5--I love them, they're bright and vibrant. Not much else. Online-3/5--I don't use it much. The loading is long and I have more fun with computers. Just buy it. ## Features - Players can compete in local wireless matches or online over a broadband Internet connection. - The game supports both SpotPass and StreetPass features.Compatible with the 3DS - Players can show their own style by customizing their vehicles with accessories that give them a competitive advantage. For instance, giant tires help a kart drive off-road, while smaller tires work best on city courses. - People can choose to race as one of their favorite Mushroom Kingdom characters or even as their Mii character. - The Mario Kart franchise continues to evolve. New kart abilities add to the wild fun that the games are known for. On big jumps, a kart deploys a wing to let it glide over a track shortcut. When under water, a propeller pops out to help the kart cruise across the sea floor. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0053BCO00 | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,505 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #17 in Nintendo 3DS & 2DS Games | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Nintendo 2DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL | | Computer Platform | Nintendo 3DS | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (4,323) | | Date First Available | June 7, 2011 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00045496741747 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.004 ounces | | Item model number | CTRPAMKE | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | nintendo | | Number of Players | 1 | | Publication Date | December 4, 2011 | | Rated | Everyone | | Release date | December 4, 2011 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 045496741747 021111275613 012302141664 454967417546 014445026228 763615836210 021113173757 707003226085 163120323234 012302142760 476366969730 168141646331 100177412061 172302827705 045496741754 872182795773 151903095621 069060377583 | ## Images ![Mario Kart 7 [video game] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YHqJxdkxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Works in the 2ds?** A: Yes, all 3DS games should work on the 2DS. I only have the 3DS XL, and this game works great on there. **Q: Is there download play? Can you play with someone next to you without wifi?** A: Yes, there is download play similar to Mario Kart DS, only one person needs to own the game, but everyone needs a 3DS. However, those without the game are limited to playing as Shy Guy with the standard kart. There is no need to be connected to a wifi network for this feature (although the 3DSs connect to each other using their wifi radios). **Q: Are you able to play as our lord and savior Waluigi?** A: No :( but you are able to pay your respects by playing on his waluigi pinball track **Q: Could a 5 yo play this?** A: 5 year old these days I would say yes. My kid is 10 now but at 5 she had a DS and was playing games like this so depends on the child I think. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Traditional Kart Racing *by M***R on December 30, 2011* First off - I have been a kart fan since the SNES version many years back . . . with my most recent versions being Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii.

I can't really complain about the graphics/music/3D etc, they are all really well done. Where this game gets hair-ripping out frustrating is actually playing it. Even on Easy mode, the computer will not let you win easily. The computers will rapid fire off the starting line almost every single time, while it's hit or miss for you. The power ups (weapons) in this game...OMG don't even get me started! TWO WORDS - BLUE SHELLS! Those mother$#@*#!% blue shells! The computer opponents seem to get these blue shells INCESSANTLY while me, well I've raced through all of the 50cc, 100cc, and working on 150cc and I have yet to get ONE SINGLE BLUE SHELL. NOT A SINGLE ONE! I run over every power up I can see...you know what I get? Banana....the FREAKING BANANA ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME! I now hate bananas in real life. Every time I go to the grocery store now I have to avoid the produce section, because I can feel them staring at me, and laughing... Oh, and lets not forget to mention the ink...THE INK...Oh yes, the wonderful ink...almost every race, just as you are about to make a tough jump, or just about to take an S turn, HERE COMES THE INK TO BLOCK YOUR VIEW...SUPER!! YEAH I LOVE INK! Oh, I was in 1st place the whole race, and got inked and blue shelled right at the last turn, and now come in 4th...yep, this happens frequently... This game infuriates me beyond belief but yet I keep playing because my blood pressure isn't quite high enough yet. As soon as finally beat this game, I'll be taking it out back and throwing it in my fire pit to cleanse my life of the evil that is Mario Kart 7. TLDR: Great game, you should definitely buy it, tons of hours of fun for the whole family. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mario Kart 7 - Nintendo 3DS - New Super Mario Bros. 2 - Nintendo Selects: Super Mario 3D Land - 3DS --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/182038-mario-kart-7-video-game](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/182038-mario-kart-7-video-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
