MARIO KART 7 PORTABLE
While underwater, an unfolded propeller motor appears out of the vehicle.Ī distinction from Mario Kart DS, the preceding portable game in the series, is that the bottom (touch) screen no longer displays obstacles and moving items and objects other than players. In Mario Kart 7, however, the karts are fully submersible and some tracks feature segments that are completely underwater. In the previous installments, driving the kart into a body of water has been considered going out of bounds and would penalize the player by delaying them for several seconds after being picked up by Lakitu. There are seventeen kart frames, ten wheels, and seven gliders, which makes 1,190 possible kart combinations for the players to use during the game. Hang gliding may allow players to skip over parts of the track or locate new routes and shortcuts that are otherwise inaccessible. Players are able to customize their vehicles, choosing from various vehicle bodies which range in weight and engine power, a selection of tires which affect a kart's handling on certain surfaces, and a choice of retractable hang-gliders, which allow players to glide through the air. Mario Kart 7 is particularly notable for sporting features unseen in previous installments. In addition to traditional controls, Mario Kart 7 can be played using the Nintendo 3DS gyroscope, in which the action is viewed in first person and the player steers the kart simply by tilting the entire game system. Jump actions, which were introduced in Mario Kart Wii as tricks, lets players obtain a brief burst of speed when driving off ramps. Up to ten coins can be collected in each race, but some will be lost if the player comes into contact with hazards or goes out of bounds. Ĭoins, originally introduced in Super Mario Kart (1992), are scattered about the tracks collecting them increases the kart's top speed. These items are the Fire Flower, which allows the player to shoot up to ten fireballs, the Super Leaf, which gives the player a tail that allows them to flip over nearby players, collect nearby Coins, and deflect items, and the Lucky Seven, which bestows seven items at once.

Mario Kart 7 also features three items new to the Mario Kart series (the last two of which do not return in Mario Kart 8). The POW Block, Mega Mushroom, and Thunder Cloud from Mario Kart Wii are absent from the game, as well as the Fake Item Box from previous installments. Some of these power-ups include the series staple items Koopa Shells, Banana Peels, and Super Mushrooms. While driving, the players may use power-up items, obtained from running into item boxes located at specific points on the track, that are used to hinder the progression of opponents or to help the player in the race. Most tracks are based on various locations in the Mario series, but two tracks are set on Wuhu Island, which was featured in non- Mario video games Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, and Wii Sports Resort.
