According to the trailers released at E3 2011, the game will undergo several radical changes to make it different from previous Mario Kart games. Players now have the option of collecting [[coin]]s while racing. At specific points in the games, the [[kart]]s will sprout either hang gliders and propellors, allowing for racing in the air and underwater. Mario Kart 3DS will also have kart customization opitions, allowing players to make custom karts out of a set of pieces. Several courses from past Mario Kart games will return in the retro cups, including Luigi's Mansion (DS) and Airship Fortress (DS).

Revision as of 01:38, 30 July 2011


Mario Kart 7 is an upcoming Mario Kart game for the 3DS and is the seventh installment in the platform games in the Mario Kart series (and the ninth installment in the whole series including the arcade installments). The release date is currently unknown. Ghost data is able to be exchanged and online gameplay is available in multiplayer mode in this game. [2] So far, the name of the game is Mario Kart 3DS, but the name could change.

Gameplay

According to the trailers released at E3 2011, the game will undergo several radical changes to make it different from previous Mario Kart games. Players now have the option of collecting coins while racing. At specific points in the games, the karts will sprout either hang gliders and propellors, allowing for racing in the air and underwater. Mario Kart 3DS will also have kart customization opitions, allowing players to make custom karts out of a set of pieces. Several courses from past Mario Kart games will return in the retro cups, including Luigi's Mansion (DS) and Airship Fortress (DS).

Technical Features

Very few people have seen the demos, but those who have have said the 3D part of the game is amazing. Things such as flower petals and bats will fly at the player in this game, and the people that have played the demo have claimed that it is very cool.[5] Another thing noticed that had never been done before was the competition the player's character's face had. When Mario and Luigi got close to each other, they would stare at each other competitively and keep an eye on each other. This was something new that never had been done before.[7] So far, the game's frame rate is 60 frames per second, which is very decent.[7]
