I recently played the new Mario Kart 7 game for the 3DS, and I’m really glad I did. I’ve loved all Mario Kart games, especially Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii, but this one passed them all!
The graphics are just as good, if not better, than MKWii. The stages are serene and beautiful, and others are dangerous and cool. Bowser’s Castle was a-m-a-z-i-n-g, with Rainbow Road being EPIC! I loved them all, they are very well done, and detailed. My favorite stages are Music Park, Bowser’s Castle, Rainbow Road and Airship Fortress, in no particular order.
The controls are sooo much better than any other system’s controls, gotta love that circle-pad control. It IS a bit harder to skid than MKDS, just because it’s longer. But it works fine for me 🙂 The 3D effect makes the game even better, as the road seems to be coming at you! After a little time of playing, the 3D effects seem quite normal 🙂
The coins are a great addition to this game series, as every other Mario game has coins in it, but previous games did not. Coins in this game, when you get one, give you an immediate small boost of energy. When you collect enough coins (you can only collect 10 coins per stage, and there are 4 stages per Cup) you get a kart upgrade. Also, the new items Lucky 7, Fireflower, and the Tanooki Tail; and being able to race under the water are all amazing upgrades for the game!
All-in-all, this game was a great upgrade, one I am glad to have played 😀 I hope you all give it a try if you haven’t, this is in my opinion the best Mario Kart game in the series ^^
Thanks for reading Sunny’s Review!

** The pictures look nothing like the game itself, as the pics look pixelated, but the game-play has smooth graphics.
