Play Mario Kart 7 & take the racing experience to new heights as you soar through the sky, dive underwater & enjoy Mario Kart in 3D! The race is on in Mario Kart 7, with all new ways to customise your ride & put yourself firmly in the driving seat with steering through motion controls. In multiplayer mode, the fun has also been enhanced, so you can take on gamers who are nearby or all over the world using the internet. There are a range of game modes to try in solo mode like Grand Prix or Battle Mode, but you can also play with friends or connect to the web to race up to eight people anywhere in the world. With eight cups to compete in & 32 courses in total (including 16 you’ll see for the first time when you buy Mario Kart 7), there is lots to enjoy. There are even time trials to help you hone your skills
- just pick a course, set the best time you can & race against 'ghost karts' saved from previous record laps. When it comes to choosing characters to represent you on the road, you’ll find all your favourite classic drivers to pick from, but can also let your very own Mii get behind the wheel! There are new characters to enjoy in Mario Kart 7 too, including Lakitu (the lightweight Koopa who usually counts down the start of the race) & Metal Mario – who is just as heavy as his appearance suggests, though his top speed is still incredibly impressive. Elsewhere, don’t be fooled by the elegant Honey Queen, as she can hold her own on the track & won’t be nudged off the track so easily! For those looking to battle others, Balloon Battle is a great way to play. Take on other characters & aim to burst all their balloons using items, the one who breaks the most within the time limit will take the top spot. In Coin Battle, the focus is much more on what you can collect. Just choose a stage & grab as many coins as possible to emerge victorious! For multiplayer modes, you’ll need to buy or download Mario Kart 7, but only one Game Card will be required for up to eight Nintendo 3DS users to join in the fun. However, players without a Game Card will automatically have Shy Guy as their selected character. Not only can you race registered friends, but you can also take on previous opponents & others you have met through Street Pass. You can set the rules of play & exchange data with other Street Pass & Spot Pass opponents, exchange Mii characters automatically & save things like player names, ghost data & other community information.
