Featuring innovative gyro controls and first-person perspectives, it offers both nostalgic charm and fresh gameplay twists. With integrated StreetPass and SpotPass features, players connect, compete, and share in vibrant communities, making every race a social and strategic thrill. ## Description Mario Kart 7 3D Mario Kart 7 for Nintendo 3DS delivers more than just a glasses-free 3D racing experience. Mario Kart 7 delivers frenetic racing fun by air, land and sea. Longtime fans of the franchise will encounter new features and customisation options, while newcomers will love racing with their favourite Mushroom Kingdom characters against opponents near and far. At the heart of Mario Kart is multiplayer racing. Using a broadband Internet connection or local wireless built into the Nintendo 3DS, players can race against their own friends or even against opponents worldwide. The new Community feature allows players to create groups with other Mario Kart fans while setting up specific rules to make customised racing environments. Easy setup allows players to quickly create a community and share with others via the StreetPass feature. Community leaderboards will also show the most up-to-date information from recent races. Solo players can race through the Grand Prix and Time Trial modes using either the Circle Pad layout or the motion-sensitive gyro controls of the system to steer their karts. The gyro controls also allow players to control their karts in a first-person perspective, a feature never before seen in the Mario Kart franchise. Mario Kart 7 will also use StreetPass and SpotPass features built into the Nintendo 3DS system. Walking by other Mario Kart 7 players in real life with StreetPass enabled allows gamers to exchange racing scores, win/loss records, number of collected coins and other game data. With SpotPass enabled, players will be able to receive ghost data to race against. Up to seven ghosts can be downloaded at the same time, allowing for a full eight-player race. Additionally, a Mario Kart channel will be a central location for players to view information collected through StreetPass and SpotPass. Every iteration of the Mario Kart series introduces new twists and turns, and this newest Mario Kart game is no different. New playable characters include Metal Mario from the Super Mario 64 game and Lakitu, the spectacled cloud-riding Koopa. Players can also choose to race as their own Mii characters. New power-ups include the Fire Flower and Super Leaf. The Fire Flower allows players to throw blazing balls of fire at other drivers, while the Super Leaf makes the Tanooki Tail appear on the back of karts to knock other drivers and items out of the way. And, of course, the karts come equipped with gliders for manoeuvring through the air and propellers for underwater propulsion. The Mushroom Cup and Flower Cup introduce eight new courses, including ones on Wuhu Island and one created by Retro Studios set in the jungles from the Donkey Kong Country Returns game. The Shell Cup and Banana Cup feature eight classic courses, including Luigi's Mansion from the Nintendo DS and Koopa Beach from the Nintendo 64. There will be 16 new courses and 16 classic courses in total. 1 Game Cartridge Review: It feels so intimate... - On the 3DS, much better than its predecessor on the Wii. It is much more addictive and fun. It is great in both 2D and 3D as well, so it is great for young kids. It caters for everyone with easy levels, medium levels and hard levels. So it is great for inexperienced and experienced games young and old. it is great for people with patience and little patience and it is great for people who want to progress and those who want to have fun. I particularly like that you can collect coins and are given vehicle customisations for so many coins every hundred or so. That is a great idea and lets creativity through as well as encouraging you to be strategic. Genius. The on-line is good, not amazing... I love on-line so much but there are a few snags: -There is a glitched track and LOADS OF people choose it. -loads of people cheat at the glitched track which makes players choose whether to question morals or lose points. You have to cheat at that track to win. ^That is 'Wuhu Mountain Loop' and I now hate it! I also dislike that you have to wait for ages to play sometimes and then could be faced with brilliant players. It can be unfair if people choose the same track over and over again and nothing can be done about that. But all in all, it is great and an amazing game. I love on-line and the snags are only small! I would moan about the use of weapons which makes the game more about pot-luck than skill, but I thanked them when they helped me so it works both ways to be honest. I can only complain that you get the best weapons when you are last - the Golden Mushroom and the Bullet Bill, but that is so people don;t get disheartened, it is annoying when you have worked hard to get to 1st-3rd and then they all overtake you though! It only takes one weapon for you to drop down the rankings. Please bear in mind that I am short of patience though,. The on-line is great, but don;t play it if unjust placings annoy you. I would also recommend you wait until you have mastered the hard levels as the players on-line are amazing and I am sure you don't want to lose loads of points playing when you aren't ready. You start off at 1000 on-line but can lose 3 each time you get last place. When the game is so addictive it is easily done! One last thing.............Make sure you play with a steady internet. If the game cuts out on-line mid-race then you lose points as a penalty. I guess that was put in place to prevent cheating. E.g. turning off the console when you are losing so your record and points aren't damaged. Don't turn it off mid-game...You can lose up to 50points!!! I recommend it to everyone! You don't need on-line to make it fun, but it is great knowing you are playing against humans not the game! ;) Review: 250+ Hours and still playing! - Okay, okay... I'm a a huge Mario Kart fan! Give me a break! But I'm here to discuss the features of this slick racing game with you. SINGLE PLAYER MODE Grand Prix - Race in various cups, consisting of four different courses. There are 8 cups in total which means (if you do the maths) there are 32 tracks in total to play. The good thing about Grand Prix is that it's basically a tournament, competing in an attempt to grasp that 1st place position with that grand total of 40 points (10 for each win) we all crave so much! Time Trials - Choose your best Kart, Wheel and Glider combination to perform a record-breaking 3-lap wonder which you can share with your friends via Streetpass and Online rivals via Spotpass. This is also a brilliant way to master those courses that you always seem to crumble on in Online races against those dreaded Japanese racers! Balloon Battle - This was first introduced on Mario Kart 64, I believe. The aim of balloon battle is to hit your opponents with as many items as possible. Each item which successfully hits your opponent will remove a balloon from their collection of three. Your only opponents available in single player are the CPU players. Coin Battle - Collect as many coins as possible and protect yourself from enemy attacks but also sneakily fire items at your opponents to steal their coins. Once they're hit, coins will jump out of their kart (given that they have some) LOCAL MULTIPLAYER Local multiplayer is available for 2-8 players simultaneously. From this mode you select 'Create a Group' and wait for your friends to join your group. Once your friends have arrived, you're ready to go! You should then choose your kart combination, then be given the option to play Grand Prix, Single Race, Balloon Battle or Coin Battle. The same rules apply in single race to grand prix, except the choice of the courses are entirely based on a roulette of the tracks each player has selected. The winner is decided once four races are complete. ONLINE MULTIPLAYER This mode utilizes the Nintendo Network. Options within this category are: Worldwide - Race against up to 7 others random racers online within your skill level. Your skill level is based on your 'VR' which I believe stands for 'Virtual Rating', which initially starts at 1,000. But, don't worry about decreasing in VR, when you win you gain approximately 10-20 VR and if you finish in 8th position you'll only lose a maximum of 5 VR. So fear not! Also, if you join a game which happens to be full, you will enter 'Spectator Mode' in which you can watch a participant of the race from various angles. Friends/Opponents - This feature is new to the handheld Mario Kart series, and is Semi-New to the series as a whole. This feature allows you to join a friend's current game as long as you have their friend code added to your 3DS. Also, here comes the best part... Let's say you race in a Worldwide game against a really fast opponent, and you're really determined to beat him/her, but you no longer have the time, so you have to come offline... Well, you can race that opponent again because they get saved to the 'Opponent' list, and when they're online, you can feel free to race them. Communities - This feature can be used for Online friend-only games, Clan matches or Friendly Community races, for example IGN, the popular game resource site, to access their community, just enter the follow code: '60-2240-3145-6926' you will probably find that there are always people playing in this group, so if you haven't joined a community already, this could be your first one! Exciting, huh? MARIO KART CHANNEL This feature mainly uses Streetpass and Spotpass to communicate with friends and people who you pass by. It allows you to create your own Mario Kart 7 profile, and share your favourite kart combination, your favourite courses in the form of a Grand Prix, your time trial records and you can even share a message with people you Streetpass! Also, using Spotpass, you will receive recommended communities and Ghosts for each course, used in time trial mode. Time for the pros and cons: PROS - Hours of fun (I've already played over 250 hours). - 8 Player Local Multiplayer and Online Multiplayer - Music provides a nostalgic feel as well and a fresh one - A stable online network - Addictive online multiplayer and ranking system, I currently have over 25,000 VR - Option to use your Mii as a playable character (has to be unlocked) - Several unlockables, including characters and kart parts give you many reasons to continue playing for a while - The addition of travelling through water and air - Brand new items, Fire Flower, Super Leaf and Lucky Seven. - The CPU players are intelligent enough to take shortcuts - Endless fun with friends CONS - There are a few glitches that let the game down a bit. I'll warn you before you play. 'Wuhu Mountain Loop' and 'Wuhu Island Loop' both have shortcut glitches in which the characters jump into the water at a certain part of the race and end up 30 seconds in front of everybody else. - No option to do single race on single player - No Waluigi as a playable character. I'd honestly recommend this game to anybody. Nintendo never fail to keep me entertained. They've done well! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years. For use under adult supervision - New courses take players on wild rides over a mountain road, on city streets and through a dusty desert - Players can show their own style by customizing their vehicles with accessories - People can choose to race as one of their favourite Mushroom Kingdom characters or even as their Mi character - The game supports both SpotPas and StreetPas features. - Players can compete in local wireless matches or online over a broadband Internet connection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B004JHY3ZI | | Best Sellers Rank | 20 in Nintendo 3DS & 2DS Games | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Guaranteed Software Updates Until | unknown | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Model Number | 68676 | | Language | English | | Product Dimensions | 1.3 x 0.1 x 1.4 cm; 100 g | | Rated | Ages 3 & Over | | Release Date | 1 Jan. 2024 | ## Images ![Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo 3DS) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71t29Oe+ymL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display, Edition** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this work well on the 3ds** A: I haven’t received it yet!!

I'd honestly recommend this game to anybody. Nintendo never fail to keep me entertained. They've done well! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2015 review of Mario Kart 7. *by R***A on 5 April 2015* In the course of the past twenty or so years, video games series - some (very) good, some (very) bad - have come and gone. Others are still around but, arguably, have seen a steep decline in quality. Nintendo's Mario Kart series, however, has received virtually uninterrupted critical acclaim and commercial success since the first game was released on the Super Nintendo in 1992. This success is, in my view, justified and ultimately boils down to two essential components present in each Mario Kart instalment: (1) well curated graphics that show the console's graphical potential (e.g. this is what Mario Kart 8 is currently doing for the Wii U); (2) accessible, strategic and unpredictable gameplay. Does Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS hold up well against its predecessors? The answer is a firm and resounding Yes. At present (2015), Mario Kart 7 remains one of the best looking games on the Nintendo 3DS. Running at 60 frames per second, the game is very smooth, colorful and simply beautiful to look at. You have 32 tracks, some new, some taken from previous iterations and remade for the 3DS, and they're all very well designed for such a fast and at times chaotic racing game. It's amazing to see what they did with the limited 3DS hardware, a mere handheld console; but, then again, this is not some random third party game. It's Mario Kart. It's clear that Nintendo considered this as a significant iteration within the Mario Kart series, indeed, a flagship title for the 3DS, and, consequently, the game couldn't be anything but a pleasure to experience visually. Now, the really important part: the gameplay. As most people know, Mario Kart games are arcade style racing games. Essentially, this means they are the opposite of realistic ''simulator'' games. What you can expect from Mario Kart 7 is as follows: (i) the game does not require previous knowledge or experience from previous iterations. Anyone, of any age, can pick up Mario Kart 7 and quickly learn the basic mechanics of the game. Indeed, the game provides for different levels of difficulty, so if you want to stay on the safe side you could, to begin with, just pick the ''50 cc'' mode (i.e. the easy mode); (ii) the aforesaid accessibility, however, gradually becomes illusory when you start playing on harder difficulties (''100 cc'', average; and ''150 cc'', difficult). Here, you become alerted to the strategic element which characterises every single race within Mario Kart 7. More specifically, within each race the player is given one or more items he or she will need to deploy either offensively against other racers or defensively as a shield from those racers' attacks. There are many considerations the player will need to take into account when using items, for example: their position in the race in respect of other racers, the environment, any potential obstacles, etc. You'll need to play the game for yourself to understand the subtleties of each individual race. In brief, as accessible as it may be, you will not fully understand and appreciate Mario Kart 7 if you don't think strategically. (iii) lastly, Mario Kart's legendary and (somewhat) infamous unpredictability. Simply put, there's no getting away from the fact that no matter how good you are at Mario Kart 7, you'll need some luck to win each race, collect all the coins, and earn those three stars for each Cup. This applies to everyone, newbies and veterans alike -- we're all in the same boat when playing this game. Players will soon become acquainted with ''accidents'' such as : lightning bolts, red shells and, of course, the much dreaded blue shell. In particular, the blue shell is an item that severely incapacitates the racer who is in first position. If you're in second or third place this may just be what you need to win the race. However, if you're in first place . . . well, think strategically! In conclusion, Mario Kart 7 has all the necessary ingredients that defined the success of previous instalments in the series. If you have a Nintendo 3DS then you cannot pass up this game. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo 3DS) - Animal Crossing New Leaf -Nintendo 3DS (World Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/47988414-mario-kart-7-nintendo-3ds](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/47988414-mario-kart-7-nintendo-3ds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
