List of Mario Kart 7 glitches

These are the glitches found in Mario Kart 7.

To attempt this glitch, the player must be on Toad Circuit and have at least one Mushroom. When the gliding ramp becomes available, the player must carefully aim where the red Toad balloon is. When the player just starts gliding, they must pass the bridge and then aim towards the ground (without actually touching it - the player just has to be close to the ground). When the player passes the Coins, they must use the Mushroom and go up at the same time. Then the player will hit the face of the Toad balloon. While still pointing up, the player will then later hit the top edge of the tunnel. If done correctly, the player will then become stuck on the top edge of the tunnel. The only way to end this glitch is to just point towards the ground. There are also some cases where the player goes through the ground when trying to end the glitch.

Upon reaching the glider panel, it is possible to glide over some areas of the fenced-off area, many parts of which will result in Lakitu pulling the player back onto the main course. However, near where the out-of-bounds area meets the track, it is possible for the player to land inside the area and clip through the fencing at the same time, without any problems or Coin losses.

When you reach a blue ramp which activates the glider, turn around and drive backwards towards the ramp. Every time you touch the ramp, you will just go forward as if you got bumped lightly and the sound effect for the glider coming out will play. Occasionally, the glider will come out, but, you will go backwards.

The player needs to go to Koopa City (Neo Bowser City) to perform this glitch. The player then has to go straight without turning. When they hit the wall they have to switch to gyro controls. The player next has to turn to the left a bit slowly and the cameras will go back as if the player is not using gyro controls. But, the player will be able to use gyro controls even though the cameras are showing the back of the kart. If the player turns around the cameras go back to first-person view.

At the very beginning of the race, just before the racers enter the air vent area, it is possible to be pushed through the guardrails by a heavier opponent. This causes the player to helplessly fall to the ground, as if they had fallen off of the course normally. Lakitu will then pick them up as normal and then place them just before the curve.

The player needs to go to DK Jungle to perform this glitch. When the player is near the boost which leads to the Golden Temple, they will need to then position themself to face the left corner right beside the entrance. When they use the boost the player will start jumping multiple times non-stop. The player will have to hold the button to keep their kart jumping. If they let go of the button, they will get a small boost and move forward. This glitch is hard to master.

It is possible to cause a banana to clip through the player's kart while reversing. If a character somehow loses the second and third banana, only leaving the banana furthest away from the kart, and reverses, the banana left will still be attached to the kart as if it was still chained to the others. However, should the player reverse, the banana 'chain', following where the kart has been, will temporarily clip inside the kart itself.

This glitch can be attempted in any kart combination but the player will have to play as Wiggler. If Wiggler is in the middle of a Trick or cheer and gets hit by any item, the sound effect will play but Wiggler won't turn red.

On this track, just after the start of the second section, in the mouth of the cave, if the player turns around and hops in the water just after the fence ends, or uses a Mushroom to hit the rocks on the wall, the racer will be caught by Lakitu and, if done correctly, will make the player start at another area of the track, next to Summerstone Castle and at the top of the mountain, near the third section. This gives the racer a great advantage on the race, being easier to do in Time Trials as the player will start with three Mushrooms.
