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.

FEATURES:

The Mario Kart franchise continues to evolve. New kart abilities add
to the wild fun that the games are known for. On big jumps, a kart
deploys a wing to let it glide over the track shortcut. When
underwater, a propeller pops out to help the kart cruise across the
sea floor.

Players can show their own style by customizing their vehicles with
accessories that give them a competitive advantage. For instance,
giant tires help a kart drive off-road, while smaller tires accelerate
quickly on paved courses.

People can choose to race as one of their favorite Mushroom Kingdom
characters or even as their Mii™ character.

New courses take players on wild rides over mountains, on city streets
and through a dusty desert. Nintendo fans will recognize new courses
on Wuhu Island and in the jungles from Donkey Kong Country™ Returns.

The game supports both SpotPass™ and StreetPass™ features.

Players can compete in local wireless matches or online over a
broadband Internet connection.

Mario Kart 7 is a 2011 kart racing game developed by Nintendo EAD in cooperation with Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. In Mario Kart 7, the player takes control of one of seventeen Mario series characters, who participate in races on various Mario-themed race tracks using specialized items to hinder opponents or gain advantages. In single player mode, players can race against computer-controlled characters in 8 multi-race cups consisting of 32 tracks over three difficulty levels. Alternatively, players can race against the clock in a Time Trial mode.
