Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game brings back childhood memories. Always loved playing Mario Kart since its first installation on the N64. Now I play on the Wii U daily and I had to pick a copy of this up with the New Nintendo 3DS Limited Edition Black Friday, so I could take it with whenever I travel. Best of all the game was on sale so it was an easy decision. I would recommend this game if you're a Mario Kart fanatic like myself.

My son loves the game and the characters plays all the time

It is a great game. The 7th in the series and Nintendo has done it right again. With new characters balanced game play. Great tracks and well balenced items. This is a must have for any 3ds owner. ALSO! the 3d works great in this game. One of the best games for 3d!

I don't know what else to say about this game. Tracks are great, game is so fun, it's in 3D, customization for karts, your favorite characters racing each other etc... If you have a 3DS there's no reason you shouldn't have this game already.

The overall gameplay is pretty much the same a it has always been with MarioKart, so if you've played any iteration of the series, you'll be able to pick up and play right off the bat. It's a lot of fun, but the content is a bit lacking. There are 8 tournaments to race through, with 4 tracks in each. This brings the total number of tracks to 32, and most of them will have distinct feel to them. However, once you unlock all of the tracks, there's not much to keep you playing unless you have someone else to play with. You can spend time trying to unlock parts that you can use to customize your karts, but it doesn't effect much of the overall gameplay. With all of that said, it's still a lot fun, and perfect to have for those "itches" you get to have a quick race.

Ok I am a grandmother, so I bought the game originally for me, but my grandson liked it too, so he is getting this one for him for Christmas, so we can both play each other on Nintendo 3DS, he thought it was fun after I let him play mine. Who said you can't be a kid at heart, fun racing the characters, and different tracks. Grandparent time with the grandson.

I have been debating on whether to buy the Switch Console or just keep my 3DS for a while. Having bought this game made me decide to stick with the later. Nintendo games are just so nice wherever they're played at that Mario Kart 7 is as good as the playing it in the old days. There has been these hype to go back to the 90s with the Nintendo Classic, SNES Classic or move up to the latest Switch. Stick to the 3DS with Mario Kart 7, the 3D version of Super Mario 3D Land, the Classic Zelda games - like Ocarina of Time 3D and play those until you get bored - which you won't - until deciding to move down or up. I actually bought those 3 titles pretty much one after the other at Best Buy for somewhere around $75 bucks. That's one and a quarter of a Switch game and the 3DS ones are definitively worth every penny. If you're not an actual gamer who can dedicate more than 30 minutes a day (if you can even get 30 minutes), you can't go wrong with these. These are great games that will keep your inner kid happy for a while and take you back to the old days. I'm already planning to get the Super Mario Bros 2 - Golden Coins, and a couple of other Zelda games (including the last one). That will keep me happy for a while.

Nintendo does not disappoint with MarioKart 7. I played hours on hours on hours of this game. The graphics are beautiful and there are literally twists and turns on the new tracks. There are many vehicles and customizations to choose from as well as new characters. If you're a MarioKart fan and don't have this game, I highly encourage you to get it.

This game is probably everything that you think it is and more - from the old days of super mario kart, Super Mario Kart 7 just continues an awesome game :) More challenging maps, more characters, terrific graphics, and awesome multiplayer mode (online.) This game just keeps improving, and I would recommend this to anyone!

We bought a 2ds xl for my boys for Christmas and this was the first game we bought to go with it. So much fun to play it with them. They can link up and play against or with each other which they really enjoy. Would recommend for anyone that loves fun racing games or anyone who loved playing this game on the Nintendo 64 growing up. Lots of characters to play with (although you do have to do certain things to unlock them) and plenty of tracks to race on.

This game is AWESOME! I wasn't expecting to have such a positive experience with a handheld version of Mario Kart (never played Mario Kart DS) and I was shocked at the content and amazing graphics, not to mention how awesome it looks in 3D!

Graphics of this game are really good! me and my friends enjoy playing download play so only one of us have to own the copy to play! 3D is amazing in this game picture really jumps out at you!

I bought this game to play with my friends and it's seriously addicting. You have a full roster of Mario characters and plenty of unlockable car parts you can get to customize your ride.

Simply put, Mario Kart 7's colorful graphics, cartoonish themes and fast paced racing make it a delight on the go. If you liked Mario Kart 8, consider getting this for your mobile fun.

A great game for all ages. Has classic tracks as well as new ones. The unlocking of different karts as well as parts will keep you busy for hours.

The kids love playing this on their DS3XL! Hours of fun for everyone and they love that they can play with friends who have the same game.

This is a solid entry in the Mario Kart franchise. The graphics are pretty solid for a 3DS game, not to mention that it looks great in 3D mode. This game has a lot of content for a game of this price, and I'm surprised they didn't charge a full $40 like they do with most major 3DS releases. The innovative feature of allowing you to customize your kart was much preferable to having a static car with set stats. However, thus game still has plenty of flaws. Unlike in Mario Kart Wii (a game released before it), this games doesn't have any bikes. While there were a few good "new" tracks, most of them were bland and weren't very memorable. When I played alone, I'd usually pick the "retro" stages because they were just simply more appealing. I enjoy the new underwater and glider features, but they were obviously a "first try" function, because both of these features feel too floaty (They fixed this in MK8). Speaking of which, the physics are wonky in this game. The heaviest characters can be easily pushed aside by lightweights. Most of my out-of-bounds falls were caused by being pushed. And when you do get pushed, it takes Lakitu WAY too long to rescue you. However, one thing they did get right was the Multiplayer. Instead of having a tiny split-screen, everyone has their own personal screen instead. Races with friends felt vigorous and intense. The Streetpass functionality was great, and I loved being able to play a hand-assembled Grand Prix of everyone I passed. Bottom line, this is a great, solid game, but I still have complaints about it. It's quite boring when you're alone, but it's awesome with friends. This game wasn't usually inside my DS, and I often played other games like Pokemon or Animal Crossing. If you want the true Mario Kart experience, then you could possibly buy the more expensive Wii U/Switch version. But if you're looking for a cheap game for someone with a lot of 3DS-using friends, then I would recommend this game for you.

Amazing game for beginners & even pros !! Good tracks & characters. I could spend hours playing it.

I was reluctant to get this game on a handheld as I have had bad experiences in the past with racing games on them. This however is not bad at all and actually plays pretty smooth. I jumped on the 15.99 price with Gamers Unlocked (get this if you do not have already) and am so glad I did. It is a great game I still prefer the console versions of Mario Kart better but if your looking for something on the go or to play while laying around this is a great one.

Game has many tracks, and characters. You can use your own character as well. Online play works nicely!
