With each new Mario Kart game, Nintendo introduces new gameplay features in order to keep things fresh and fun for the Mario Kart faithful. The biggest additions in Mario Kart 7 are the hand-gliding and underwater sections in the game. No longer will you have no control when you are sent flying into the air or fall into water. No matter air or water, you will have full control of your kart at all times. When you are launched into the air by specific ramps, a hand-glider or parachute will now pop out of the back of your kart and allow you control your descent to racetrack below. Also when you drive into water, a propeller will pop out of your kart and allow you drive through underwater sections of the course. These additions open up new routes that may shave a few seconds on your lap time. For the first time in the Mario Kart series, players will be able to customize their karts from the frame to the tires. The customization option is not just for cosmetic purposes as different frames and tires affect your kart's attributes such as acceleration or handling. As with every new Mario Kart, there are new characters, new tracks, old favourites and new weapons as well as optional first-person mode and gyro controls.
Mario Kart 7 should be a great game that will definitely please any 3DS owner. Once I get my paycheck this coming week, I cannot wait to buy Mario Kart. Mario Kart DS is my all-time favourite DS and Mario Kart game, so Mario Kart 7 has some high expectations for yours truly. I really hope Nintendo and Retro Studios put together a Mario Kart that lives up to the brilliant legacy of Mario Kart DS and more. See you on the track.
