Template:Infobox Mario Kart 7[1] is an upcoming racing game in development for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the ninth installment of the Mario Kart series overall, the seventh in the main series (hence the game's title), and the third on a handheld console. The game's release date is scheduled for December 2011 for Japan, Europe, Australia, and North America. In the game, players will be able to exchange Ghost Data and play online in multiplayer mode.[2] Nintendo has confirmed that this game will bring "a bunch of new elements" to the Mario Kart series.[3]

Gameplay

In this new installment of the Mario Kart series, Coins will make a prominent return. Coins have not been featured in this way in the last Mario Kart games since Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Coins are to be found along a race track, and can be underwater, on the road, or in the air. Collecting coins on different tracks will allow the player to unlock vehicle parts used for customization. The option to select classic Mario Kart tracks is also available again in this game. Mario Kart 7 also has some new features. Players can now use air gliders, which can be useful for navigating through the air and also use propellers to drive underwater. In addition, players may now assemble their own karts, rather than select pre-set karts as in older Mario Kart games. It is possible to select the body of the kart, the wheels, and other additional accessories such as the glider, although some parts need to be unlocked before they can be used. When the player is selecting a character and changing things to their kart the selection theme is played.[4] Mario Kart 7 marks the return of the traditional 8 characters per race, as opposed to the total of 12 as seen in the previous installment. It will also be compatible with both SpotPass and StreetPass.[5]

Among other gameplay's innovations is the vehicle's behavior in the courses. Each element to assemble the vehicle will have a function that will grant advantage on certain courses: for example, the type of wheel selected may work well in concrete road, soil or rough terrain that a course may have. Gliders also provide speed and duration for the vehicle when airborne and can be controlled using only the Circle Pad. Additionally, driving underwater, the kart's handling, speed and drifting can considerably change compared to when driving on land. Mario Kart 7 also introduces the option to race in first-person view, where the player will watch the race from the character's seat, instead of the usual overview of the track from his/her back in the other six installments. In this view, the player can also see the vehicle's steering wheel in front of the character.

Motorbikes, which made their first appearance in Mario Kart Wii, will not return in the game. However, Tricks, which were also introduced in Mario Kart Wii, will come back to be part of Mario Kart 7's gameplay and can be used with Gliders for more speed. Slipstreaming will be possible once again.

Nintendo eShop Descriptions

The newest installment of the fan-favorite Mario Kart™ franchise brings Mushroom Kingdom racing fun into glorious 3D. For the first time, drivers explore new competitive kart possibilities such as soaring through the skies or plunging into the depths of the sea. New courses, strategic new abilities and customizable karts bring the racing excitement to new heights

Confirmed Items

Mario Kart 7 features three new items – the Fire Flower, the Super Leaf and the Lucky 7[16]. Many classic items also make a return in Mario Kart 7. The Thunder Cloud, POW Block, and Mega Mushroom, introduced in Mario Kart Wii are absent from the game. Similar to its predecessors, players receive items by driving trough an Item Box found on courses. When players drive through an Item Box, the Item Roulette will select an item. In Mario Kart 7, Coins can be found on the track. Players can collect the coins by driving through them. Picking up a coin increases a player's top speed. If players collect ten coins, their kart is at maximum speed. Players lose coins if they get hit by an item. Collecting a certain amount of coins on various tracks unlocks vehicle parts used for customization.
