Players can compete against random players online, players in their 3DS friends list or players that they have raced against previously (dubbed 'rivals'). The game will feature online multiplayer racing with between two and eight players, running at 60fps, as well as the ability to exchange ghost data with friends. Also returning in this game is the traditional eight racers at a time, which was used in the first 5 installments along with the rocket start technique at the start of the race. Battle Mode also returns, comprising of Balloon Battle (with or without teams) and Coin Runners and this time, it will have a time limit of two minutes instead of three. This game will also utilize the same mechanic as Mario Kart Wii to handle drifting, in that boost is built up over time, to prevent the snaking tactic which was prevalent in the online component of Mario Kart DS. Also returning is the trick boost from Mario Kart Wii which allowed players to perform a trick when driving off a ramp to gain a small speed boost. Collecting coins will increase the speed of your vehicle and if ten of them are collected, it will be at max speed. Coins can only be earned throughout Grand Prix, and will unlock kart customization's. Returning Features The rocket start technique returns.Ĭoins make their return for the first time since Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Time trials can now be undertaken with up to seven other ghosts simultaneously. (There are no mini-boosts if you're tilting the 3DS). This allows you to tilt your 3DS as if you were the driver.

Mario Kart 7 is also the first game in the series to offer a first-person perspective, seeing the tracks up close. Kart customization is also featured with the player being able to choose a chassis, wheel type and a hang-glider. Tracks now feature airborne and underwater sections depending on the context in which players find themselves, karts will deploy a hang-gilder or propeller in order to navigate the environment, and control of the kart will adjust accordingly. Mario Kart 7 presents some rather significant shifts in the gameplay.
