Mario Kart 7

Mario Kart 7, like the other games in the series, is nothing short of pure, adrenaline-fueled racing exhilaration. Choose one of 16 popular Mario characters (or a Mii), select your kart, tires, and glider, and then use all of your talents (and any stuff you can steal) to outrace and outsmart your opponents on insanely planned courses like Mario Circuit and Neo Bowser City.

The addition of underwater and airborne elements in this installment makes this one of the most diverse Kart games yet, while famous courses from previous releases add to the pleasure. A thriving online community means that you will never be without competitors.

For up to eight players, the game supports both local and online multiplayer. It was met with favorable reviews, with acclaim for the new improvements, music, and gameplay, but criticism for the restricted single player modes (such as the loss of the customisable Versus mode), item balancing, and difficulty curve. Following Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 was the second 3DS game to sell over five million units.
