==Differences in multiplayer modes==
When playing in multiplayer mode, both locally and online, there are several changes made to the tracks, most likely to retain a stable connection.
*One of the two [[Goat|Mountain Goat]]s has been removed from [[3DS Daisy Hills|Daisy Hills]].
*There is only one [[Sidestepper]] in [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon|Cheep Cheep Lagoon]], as opposed to two.
*In the bazaar section of [[3DS Shy Guy Bazaar|Shy Guy Bazaar]], one [[jar]] has been removed. Also in the gliding section, there are fewer [[Shy Guy]]s on flying carpets.
*In [[Wuhu Loop]], the first group of cars consists of only two cars instead of three. The last group of cars near the finish line were removed entirely. Also, the wind turbines near the lighthouse have no rotor blades.
*In [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]], the coin placement in the castle area is different. Also, one of the two [[Goomba]]s is absent.
*In [[3DS Music Park|Music Park]], the second of three [[Music Bash|Bouncing Note]]s has been removed.
*[[3DS Piranha Plant Slide|Piranha Plant Slide]] has no [[Item Box]]es flowing with the water. Also in the section before the finish line, the Goomba and the [[Wooden cutout|boards]] resembling it were removed.
*The [[Fish Bone]]s in the tunnel in [[3DS Wario Shipyard|Wario Shipyard]] are absent as well as the Sidesteppers before the gliding section.
*One [[Tiki Goon]] and one [[Frogoon]] were taken out of [[3DS DK Jungle|DK Jungle]], reducing their number to two and one respectively.
*There are no [[penguin]]s in the underwater section of [[3DS Rosalina's Ice World|Rosalina's Ice World]].
*One of the two [[Thwomp]]s in [[3DS Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Castle]] is absent.
*The two ceiling lights in the second room of {{classic-link|DS|Luigi's Mansion}} were removed.
*In {{classic-link|N64|Koopa Troopa Beach|Koopa Beach}}, three of the six Sidesteppers are absent: Two underwater and one before the finish line.
*In {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}, there is only one [[metal ball]] rolling around in the open area before the finish line.
*{{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}} has only one [[Train (obstacle)|train]] on its rails as opposed to two.
*{{classic-link|DS|DK Pass}} does not have any [[Snowball|snowballs]] in the part that goes uphill. Also most of the [[snowmen]] are absent.
*There are no Cheep Cheeps in the underwater section of {{classic-link|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}}.
*One of the two [[Wiggler]]s in {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} is removed.
*{{classic-link|Wii|Koopa Cape}} has no moving Item Boxes in the area where the water flows with the track. Also, there are no Cheep Cheeps in the underwater area.
*There are fewer [[Rocky Wrench|Rocky Wrenches]] in {{classic-link|DS|Airship Fortress}}.
==Regional differences==
*The Mainland China release was published by [[iQue]]. It is one of the last two games published by the company, the other being ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.
*The flag of Taiwan (ROC) was removed in the China release. Any Taiwanese locations were also hidden.<ref>https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1152588845570908160</ref>
*The China release is the only ''Super Mario'' game, as well as the last Nintendo game officially released in China (PRC), to support global online multiplayer, as the next PRC release that supports online multiplayer is ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', published by Tencent, which operates completely separately from the global release and offers no interactions between the two versions.
*''Mario Kart 7'' has more track name differences between the American English and British English versions than any other ''Mario Kart'' game, with a total of eight racetracks and one battle course.

[[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development]] developed ''Mario Kart 7'', with [[Retro Studios]] as Co-Developers and Artists. Retro Studios was also responsible for contributing to the ''Donkey Kong series'' attributes in the game, mainly the [[3DS DK Jungle|DK Jungle]] track. The music composition is credited to [[Kenta Nagata]] and Satomi Terui. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and [[Satoru Iwata]] were the game's general and executive producers respectively.

If executed correctly, they allow the driver to skip sections of the track. On May 15, 2012, an update was released that made these glitches unusable in Online Multiplayer.
