Mario Kart 7

For the most part, Mario Kart 7 is similar to the other games, and by taking part in the Grand Prix tournament, you’ll be competing for eight different cups. There are also new courses introduced in Mario Kart 7. These courses are quite well-designed, with beautiful maps that will immerse you in the game’s awesome background music. In Mario Kart 7, you’re also introduced to gliders and some underwater action, which is just amazing. A few new items are also introduced in MK7, like the Fire Flower which lets you spit fire to slow your enemies down. These new items provide a unique gameplay experience because people were getting used to the same old items in the game.

Collecting a total of 10 coins will allow you to increase your overall speed. However, if you get hit, you’ll lose those coins. Use Underwater Section in Cheep Cheep Cape In the Cheep Cheep Cape course, it’s much quicker to use the underwater section rather than the glide pad. Starting Boost or Rocket Start When Lakitu does the countdown at the beginning of the race, start accelerating on the “2.” This will give you a starting boost.
