Lucky Seven

The Lucky 7 is a special item that appears in Mario Kart 7. It is depicted as a red number "7", which also represents the one in the game's logo. The name also originates from a symbol on slot machines, where three sevens would result in a jackpot.

''Mario Kart 7
The Lucky 7 debuts in Mario Kart 7. It is one of the items that can be found from the Item Boxes. When used, seven items will appear surrounding the racer's kart rotating similarly to the Triple Green or Red Shells. The racer can then use them one by one when the item is in front of the player. The items that a racer gets are a single Green Shell and Red Shell, a Banana, a Mushroom, a Star, a Blooper, and a Bob-omb.

Like Triple Green or Red Shells, opposing racers that get too close will be hit by the circling items. As one would expect, a Banana or Shell will simply hit the opponent, while Mushrooms or Stars will give the opponent their boost, and a Bob-omb will explode and assuredly take out any items that had yet to be used.
