List of Mario Kart 7 glitches

These are the glitches found in Mario Kart 7.

Upon reaching the glider panel, it is possible 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.

The player needs to go to Koopa City (Neo Bowser City) to perform this glitch. The player then has to go straight and not turn at all. 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, the player 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 A button to keep their kart jumping. If they let go of the A 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 Wuhu Mountain Loop (Maka Wuhu), just after the start of the second section, in the mouth of the cave, if the player turns around and hops into the water just before the start of the fence, they will have skipped around 20 seconds of time and will be placed near to the start of the 3rd section.
