Mario Kart 7

Mr.Nice Guy

I must say as a big MK fan I'm pretty disappointed with this. I should point out that Mario Kart DS is one of my favourite games and I had been playing it right up to getting MK 7 and to me the new instalment is a disappointment.

One of the things I loved doing on the DS game was wiping out opponents by knocking them off the track with Bowser (like in the Banshee Boardwalk and Rainbow Road courses) but it doesn't seem possible to do it in MK7? That takes away a major enjoyment factor of the game for me. Some of the courses are beautiful, I particularly like the new Rainbow Road, but it just doesn't offer the pure mad fun of the previous handheld incarnation imo.

I guess I'll persist with it in the hope my mood changes.

The Kart Customistation hasn't helped as Yoshi I can Bash Toad away easily, don't remember doing that before. I've played every MK bar the snes and wii ones. HATE the fact they took out Vs. mode too, think it was released early to be on shelves for the x-mas shopping. I'm enjoying it yeah but it won't be in the cart slot as much as Mario Kart DS was.

you need some experience on ds and wii version to master mini turbo,

yoshi in the previous games usual the speed character,

toad and koopa are good at handling

bowser, wario, dk are heavy wights, slow starters but are fastest characters in the game

Mario and Luigi are all rounders
ive playing every mario kart game since snes

I met another Mii through Streetpass the other day and now that Mii is showing up in some single player races. They don't turn up in every race just a few.

Anyone know what the idea behind it is? Is it ghost data from them?

That patch appeared mid-May and only fixed glitches on some tracks...the other features were already there! :pac: :rolleyes:
