I was also told that there would be several different speed divisions and cups, but this is pretty standard fare for any Mario Kart game at this point so I'm not surprised. I was told that kart parts would be upgradeable, but I'm not entirely convinced this means anything beyond the already announced ability to swap these parts before a race. Unfortunately, that's about the end of the new info I was able to squeeze out of the booth reps. If the internet suite in this game is anything like Mario Kart Wii's we can probably expect leaderboards, battle modes, challenge races, ghost races, and more.
As of now, I couldn't be told how many players will be able to race at the same time online (my guess is eight, just like local games).

Well, Mario Kart 7 will still have local Wi-Fi capability for races up to eight players, but it will have a full Internet suite as well. For example, Mario Kart 5 (for the DS) was a greatly beloved game, but its multiplayer component was restricted to local Wi-Fi, which certainly hurt the replay value. Multiplayer is the name of the game in Mario Kart, and finding people to play with on a handheld system has been a bit of a problem in the past.
#Mario kart 7 3ds unboxing drivers
The reps couldn't tell me exactly how each driver would effects a kart's abilities, but I was told it's safe to assume that drivers like Bowser will increase your kart's weight while drivers like Peach will make your kart faster and handle better. Much like Mario Kart Wii, this game will all be about choosing the right kart and driver combination (with an extra level of customizability considering you can choose your kart's wheels, body, and glider). Drivers do have individual stats and do affect the way your Kart handles. First of all, it's been confirmed once again that players will be able to use their Miis as drivers, in addition to a large cast of characters that have appeared in Mario Kart's past.
So let's dive right into the juicy gossip. There is something to be said for the development team getting it right the first time around.Īnd while I'm certainly not scoffing at the opportunity to try out new tracks-after all, track selection can make or break a game like this-the real wealth of info came from the booth reps that were far more loose-lipped here than they were at E3. We still were able to customize different parts of our kart in addition to choosing the driver, we still were able to pick up coins to increase our max speed, and we still were able to take to the skies or dive under water to access certain routes. Outside of getting the chance to try out some new tracks, the game handled the exact same way it did at E3. Mario Kart 7 was playable at the New York Comic Con this year in all its high-octane, high-gliding, blue shell goodness, and we jumped at the opportunity to go hands-on with it again.
