Mario Kart 7 is the Nintendo 3DS entry in the Mario Kart series, released in Europe on 2 December 2011. It adds gliders, underwater sections and kart customisation to the familiar racing formula.
What makes Mario Kart 7 different?
Karts can deploy a glider over big jumps and a propeller underwater, so races move through land, air and sea. You can also build a custom kart from a frame, wheels and glider, and steer with the 3DS gyroscope if you prefer motion controls.
How many courses and players?
The game has 32 courses across eight Cups, mixing new tracks with retro favourites. Up to eight players can race locally with one game card and multiple 3DS systems.
Can you still play online?
No. Nintendo ended internet play for Nintendo 3DS software on 9 April 2024, so the original online racing service is no longer available. The game still supports local wireless play between Nintendo 3DS systems.
