The Wii hit stores alongside the PlayStation 3, but a year after Microsoft's Xbox 360. The GameCube arrived a year after the PlayStation 2 and two years after Sega's Dreamcast. The Nintendo 64 arrived fashionably late to the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn generation. The Super Nintendo trailed the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive into stores. If Mario Kart has never been your thing then this game will not change your mind.Historically speaking, Nintendo had not really been a big believer in the early mover advantage. If you are already a fan of the series, then it is highly likely you already own the game. Conclusion If you have never played Mario Kart before and want to try it out, I can easily recommend Mario Kart 7. Anyways, nothing was mindblowing, however nothing was bad either. How Nintendo games always do this just amazes me. Mario games always seem to have great tunes that get stuck in your head. The sound effects and music are on par with what you would expect from a Mario Kart game. I have seen better games graphically on the 3DS and yet that doesn’t matter as much with these aesthetics. Obviously the handheld is not as powerful and has a smaller screen, but it is still a pretty game to look at. Graphics/Sound Remember Mario Kart: Double Dash? Mario Kart 7 looks almost as good. Mario Kart is better on consoles, however Mario Kart 7 holds up on the 3DS as well. On a side note, I would get hand cramps from playing extended time on my 3DS XL. Here’s to hoping that one day they add a competitive mode with no items. Although to be fair, I have done it to others and it is the luck of Mario Kart. Though getting hit right before the finish line still frustrates me to no end. Racing real people is always a different experience from the predictable CPU racers.
I found this to be quite challenging, personally. You can race up to seven other racers or even battle them. This was a tad disappointing, since they could have done something more with the concept, however it is cool nonetheless. Your car will drive on only two wheels if you turn too quickly but besides that and the aquatic theme, the driving seems to remain the same. For Mario Kart 7, this is racing underwater. As it turns out, nothing is actually that much different about being underwater. As you may have noticed, most of the Mario Kart games have their own unique addition to the tried and true formula. Many of the remastered tracks look better than ever but also add new twists that weren’t in previous games. Sixteen are new and sixteen are remastered from previous games. It is simply best to toy with the customization options and see what fits your play style the best. Nothing is overpowered and that is always a bonus. All of them have aesthetic differences, but they each have statistical differences as well.
You can choose the body, tires, and hang gliding sail. You are able to customize your kart as well. You won’t find Star Fox or Sonic anywhere, but you can play as Toad, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and many more. Mario Kart 7 features all of your favorite characters from the Mario universe. What makes the game shine is the items, fantastic track design, charm, and all around polish that only Nintendo can do. Nintendo takes characters from the Mario universe, and then places them in karts to race each other in Mario-themed tracks. Gameplay Mario Kart is actually a fairly simple concept when you think about it. So how is this game? Is it the best of all time? I remember Mario Kart DS fondly, and I haven’t played a handheld Mario Kart game in many years. Well, I finally picked it up, and I can safely say it is a worthwhile addition to the franchise. If you read my Mario Kart 8 review, then you know I had played every single Mario Kart game… except 7.
