Here's another must-own for the 3DS, plus it's my most played on the
handheld. Just like how I got Super Mario 3D Land, I got Mario Kart 7
the day it came out. If you love Mario Kart or if you're new to the
series, this game is especially a must!
Just like the other Mario
Kart games since Mario Kart DS, you can play this game on your own,
with nearby people provided that they have 3DS's, or play online. I dig
the fact that you can be able to customize your kart, as well as the
ability to glide and drive underwater! I would also like to thank
Nintendo for getting rid of the thunder cloud that plagued Mario Kart
Wii, that thing was just really annoying... you also won't be able to
see any fake power-up blocks either, yay! Instead, you'll see new
power-ups which are the fire flower, the raccoon tail, and the lucky 7
(I only use that to use the star lol). But still, be prepared to get
attacked by those too, that includes blue spiny shells, bullet bills,
and bloopers! And each time you get a lot of coins, you'll be able to
unlock kart parts. You will also be able to unlock hidden characters, as
well as a 3-star rank when you do awesome in the grand prix mode.
The
best part of Mario Kart 7 is the game's online mode. You are able to
play in worldwide matches much like in Mario Kart Wii, but with an
improved VR system that doesn't decrease by a lot for no reason! The
only way to lose your VR is when you get last place, and you only lose 3
VR when that happens, which isn't much at all - that is much more fair
than Mario Kart Wii's online! You are also able to race in communities
and find people/friends you previously raced. There is also the Mario
Kart Channel where it updates the time trial ghosts and the community
list. The game also keeps track of your wins, losses, coins collected,
etc. Plus you'll still be able to unlock remaining kart parts while you
collect coins in the online mode too!
The only cons I have are
the mii's voices, no actual way to ban whichever items you want while
you make a community, not having the ability to create your own messages
when you're in a community, and Toadette not being in the roster (I
miss her!!!). Overall, the game is definitely chaotic, but you'll keep
coming back for more action. Right next to Mario Kart Double Dash, this
is my favorite entry in the Mario Kart series. Go get it right now!
Final Score - 9/10 - Awesome
