Idk if its just me, but gliding feels way better in 7 then 8. Maybe its just the tracks and many of them wanting you to glide longer for shortcuts, but I felt like there was more to do with how I traveled in the air compared to 8 where it just feels like a graceful jump. I mostly miss it for the tracks though, especially that rainbow road, hope we see it in 8.

My personal favourite, because while it lacks Waluigi, single-player content and classic car selection, I still love the roster for how unique it is (I always main Honey Queen). Not only did the game also introduce two of the most important staples to this day (underwater and gliding), but it also has by far the best tracks, soundtrack and gameplay. Controlling the cart feels so much more fluid in this game than in the other, thanks to how you can actually do both automatic and manual drift, which means you can cut sharp corners if you aren't fast enough. Not to mention that Mario Kart 7 is so far the only Mario Kart game with free and functioning online. Basically, it's the best for the small details that people don't notice often, but which are really important.

The very first videogame I ever played was Mario Kart N64 when 3 year old me could first get his stubby fingers on the controller playing multi-player with my dad. Then on my 8th birthday I finally got the og 3DS with MK7 as my first game. I played the hell out of that game, including online. Man I was killing it in online, even beating hackers a few times. It's not the best objectively, but MK7 is my favorite of the series, only for all the nostalgia that comes with it. It carried my childhood.

Mario Kart 7 was my first game on the 3DS. I remember being hyped about it in 2011. How do I like it now? Well, similar to you, I find 7 difficult to go back to. Incidentally, it has nothing to do with the absence of Waluigi, nor do I hate Metal Mario; he's actually my favorite driver here. Rather, the lack of single-player VS. limits my enjoyment for it. It's funny; I have no problems doing Grand Prix in 64 or Double Dash!!, but I've grown rather fond of selecting courses to my liking since DS. Even Super Circuit had a makeshift version of it. Despite that, I still like Mario Kart 7. The Super Leaf is a fun item, the presentation is lovely, I enjoy many of its courses, and it was a fine way to start my run of the Nintendo 3DS.

I was just so disappointed that I didn't really get anything special for beating the regular staff ghost and even the fast staff ghost. I know that the other games didn't have that feature,but I thought what Mario Kart Wii did to incentivize playing time trials,at least casually,was just a great idea.

only problem i have with it is Waluigi Pinball but no Waluigi and no Single Player VS mode

But it cut so much from DS. No VS mode, no Waluigi, it ruined battle mode (it should have listened to DS, not Wii) and no Mission mode. The kart customisation only feels like a chore imo and collecting coins to unlock new stuff SUCKS. The only saving grace is it's solid nitro and retro track selection. (and maybe the gliding introduction)

I saw somewhere on the Super Mario Wiki that Waluigi was actually planned to be in the game but was cut due to time restrains. So I'm kind of convinced we got Metal Mario as an....admittedly REALLY crappy substitute. Really should have been Birdo, Toadette or Dry Bones instead... Or better yet, Boom-Boom since he made his return finally in 3D Land and Mario Kart has usually had characters that were in that console's main series game as newcomers for that iteration. So Boom-Boom & Pom-Pom would have been perfect for MK7 imo. But as you said, MK7 was sort of a turning point in the Mario Kart series in terms of how they do things, so I guess that also meant a break in that tradition too...which is quite unfortunate honestly. Anyway, you do bring up a great point. Why in the world didn't they update the game to have single player vs. mode? They made multiple updates & patches to the game, so they definitely had the power to add the mode back in... And honestly, I feel a lot of the retro tracks lost a good amount of their charm being here on the 3DS. They removed a lot of the background elements from them (especially the Wii tracks), so they just seem off to me. Really MK7 as a whole seems like a lot of missed potential. Especially since it doesn't come anywhere close to re-capturing the magic that made DS so special. I don't hate the game at all. But like you and others have said, it's quite forgettable. Also, I have to say...FINALLY someone who isn't blaming Honey Queen for Waluigi not being in the game. Thank you Xp

I wish characters were cosmetic and vehicles had stats. The one problem I had with Wii is that my favorite character ISNT Funky Kong. I just want to play as luigi competitively!

Absolutely love this game. The tracks that don't have laps reminded me of the first forza that had similar tracks. The gliding is great 👍 looks fantastic for a portable title. And sneaking retro studios in was a pleasant surprise.

I disagree that Mario Kart 7 is worse than the DS one. Mario Kart DS was incredibly unforgiving even for small mistakes. If you get hit by an item, you most likely end up loosing the entire cup. You also HAVE TO win the cup to unlock all the tracks. In Mario Kart 7 they balanced the difficulty, added better controls, memorable tracks and a decent online mode as well. It was also one of the few games that actually made me wanna turn on the 3D effect. Mario Kart DS was a nice game back in the day and I loved playing it back in the day, but when comparing it to Mario Kart 7, it's just not that good.

10:00 I bought Mario Kart 7 at a yard sale and was absolutely baffled that there was no Versus mode. One of the biggest offenses in the series, ironically along the same time frame that my favorite seires Wipeout was failing the same way with their installment on the PSVita

yeah i always thought this game was underrated. i remember when i was trying to 100% it and my dad asked to play. he was disappointed there was no waluigi (he always plays as waluigi) so he played as yoshi instead
