Mario Kart 7

Not necessarily people like Metal Mario. Remember Funky Kong? I daresay that most of his users like the character himself; all they want are the stats.

I'm willing to bet that people use Metal Mario because he has heavyweight stats, but a middleweight frame thus making him smaller and harder to get than regular heavyweights.

I tried the first-person gyro controls yesterday. That was freaking amazing. I didn't know you could use gyro controls with first-person mode.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

If you don't like the gyro controls and prefer the circle pad (like I do) you can always turn it off.

Isn't it fun to glide in first person mode?

 

[MCS]

It sure is, man. It feels like I'm actually in the game. I love gyro, makes it seem so realistic

And yeah, gliding is outstanding in first-person.

I turned they gyro off because of my tendency to tilt the 3DS in a certain direction

 

[MCS]

Yeah, before I knew you could use gyro controls and used the circle pad for first-person, I always wondered why the kart was tilting to the left. Now I know why. There should be an option in the start menu to turn circle pad on/off and gyro on/off so it doesn't get too confusing.

There is. It's in the Mario Kart Channel

Oh, sweet. I'll use that

I officially own Mario Kart 7 now, thanks to an early birthday present from my parents; a Nintendo 3DS.

So far, I've 3-star ranked all the 50cc GPs, and unlocked the following parts...

1: Paraglider
2: Peach Parasol
3: Wood
4: Mushroom
5: Egg 1

I'm actually happy to get the Paraglider first, since apart from the Super Glider, that's the glider that I'll tend to use the most.

Regarding my starting combos...

1: Yoshi + Standard + Roller + Super Glider
2: Koopa Troopa + Standard + Monster + Super Glider
3: Yoshi + Standard + Roller + Paraglider
4: Koopa Troopa + Standard + Monster + Paraglider
5: Yoshi + Bolt Buggy + Wood + Paraglider
6: Yoshi + Egg 1 + Roller + Paraglider

Next up is the 100cc, but I'll probably be doing some Super Mario 3D Land as well.
