MARIO KART 7, CLASSIC RACING GAME, A LOT OF FUN!!!!

Well Nintendo decided to put out yet another Mario Kart. This is the 7th version of this game. I still remember playing to original released on the SNES quite ofen. This game is a lot of fun and retains all of the elements from the origiginal adds a lot more to it as well. This time around it's in 3D! It is pretty cool. Also there are more characters that you can play with, including your Mii (once you beat all 50CC races) and now you can float through the air as well as drive your kart under water. There are a few new weapon pick ups as well, such as the racoon tail and the ability to shoot fireballs from the fire flower. There is also a 7 icon pick up in which you'll get 7 different weapons at the same time (red shell, green shell, banana, bomb, mushroom, etc.). You unlock character as you go and as you go the races get harder. As well as obtaining a gold trophy in the different cups within the classes, the game rates you from 1 to 3 stars based on driving ability. I imagine that if you get 3 stars on every race from every class you'll unlock something. A completely new feature to this Mario Kart game unlike any other (at least for the hand held variety) is that you can steer simply by moving the 3DS system to the left or right. This is pretty a pretty cool feature but you don't have to race this way if you don't wan't. Main game you can change the setting, however in the balloon pop game you have a 1st person perspective and you have the choice in game of what you do (though you could incorporate both here if you so choose. Also, this Mario Kart game comes equiped with the ability to use the Spot Pass feature and Street Pass (you can exchange information with people you pass on the street such as ghost data and best times and try to beat them. This is in the Mario Kart channal that comes with the game. If you've not checked the manual for this game (which comes within the game itself) note that you CAN delete the saved data by hitting A, B, X and Y at the same time before the Mario Kart 7 logo shows up before the game starts up. Anyone will be able to pick up this game and play, it's pretty straight forward and not too demanding, though like I said, it'll get harder as you go forward, though I suppose that's true with any video game. There are a lot of unique courses, and some you'll recognize from previous Mario Kart games spanning from the SNES all the the way up to this one. If you give this game a shot I don't think you will be disappointed!

Great Ebay product! I love EBAY!

It was for my grandson, of course he loved it. It works great. I like buying from an individuals-- the way it was when I started using Ebay in 1995--I believe. I changed my login once and it took a couple years off my sign in. Ebay is great because in rural Mississippi it is hard to drive to places that sell what you need. You can ALWAYS find it on Ebay now that millions of companies and sellers are on there. Could not live without EBAY!! This game was 1/2 price of what they sell for in the store. There was no case, but he is only 9 and throws them away, anyway! I talked to the seller individually and that was special. He mailed it to my grandson who lives in another state. Very convenient for me. I do that all the time to surprise the grandsons. Wish I could have reviewed a product that was for me then I could have elaborated more...LOL THANKS EBAY!!!!!!!!!!

There's no end to the fun!

I bought this game as a birthday gift for my 8 year old grandson. He will spend hours playing this game. I tried playing it too and I can see why, it's addictive! Nintendo 3DS and Mario & friends make endless fun.

The best Mario Kart to this day, with so many ways to play!

Mario Kart 7 is an awesome addition to the Mario Kart franchise. This one has got the most in it; with new levels, vehicles, and ways to race! You can drive, dive, and glide your way to victory! The addition of 3D visuals, Wi-Fi multiplayer, and accelerometer controls makes this the most advanced and entertaining Mario Kart out there!
