Mario Kart 7
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.
