what is your opinion on MK7

[xoalora]

i'd say it's a pretty nice game the gliders and everything

One of the weakest titles (if not the weakest) in the series. Gimmicks that add literally nothing to the gameplay, lacking in basics features such as Vs. Race, weird roster choices, weak track design, and gameplay that's far less skill based then any previous game.

Weird roster, and I'm not just saying that because my main man got the boot over a caterpillar and a giant bee. Also kind of a weird opinion to have, but I honestly miss when karts weren't customizable. Still fun to play though.

It was the first mk I ever played so I loved it initially. Now I rarely play it because I own mkwii and mk8d and it just feels boring in comparison to those games.

 

[Czario]

Yeah, I'd say it's one of the weaker entries in the series on account of not adding a whole lot of new stuff, having strange roster decisions, missing certain core features from other games, and just being overshadowed by the games immediately before and after it. That being said, I do think the addition of gliders and underwater adds a lot more potential for flexibility and creativity with track designs, and the game has some pretty neat tracks.

a modder had to fix a pretty major bug. i can't believe nintendo overlooked that.

i dont own the game, but ive played it, and ill say that its alright. it has some really good tracks, but the roster is weird and a lot of new items are forgettable like the tail

 

[Sven Svennson.]

Seems like a decent game, since the tracks are good and the modding crowd seems quite nice, but, the character choices are confusing and there's not much to do.
Haven't played it, though. So, I couldn't tell.

Its fun, I have played on the 2ds a lot and has that sort of "old game charm" with secret characters that you can unlock and what not. Going underwater and gliding is great and the roster is pretty good. I think that definitely Mario Kart 8 (WiiU) is a lot better because it has anti gravity and a better roster including dlc. The tracks in MK7 are really good like; DK Jungle (which is remasterd in MK8), that music one, and some others. My opinion on the game is that it is a great handheld mario kart game for the ds but both versions of Mario Kart 8 are much better. I think the "old/creepy game charm" that it has is definitely good because the graphics are not as good as MK8 and there is a lot of unannounced unlocks that you can get (like other characters). I think it is really cool in older games that you can unlock something and only find out when you go to selection page of that type of item.

TLDR: Its a good game for 3DS but if you have a Switch or Wii U play Mario Kart 8

I've played it and all the titles before it, and it's my favorite so far, with the GBA and DS ones tied in second.
It's definitely skill based if you're aiming for online top rank and/or best time attacks.
The new tracks are beautiful and creative imo, and has my fav selection of retro tracks.
The karts and items work very smoothly.
It does have its obvious flaws however. Missing Waluigi despite having a track based on him, everyone looking like badly modeled plastic toys (which I guess is somewhat homage to the original Mario Kart?? likely coincidence), and the lack of VS is absolutely the biggest flaw. It also continues the flaw of every MK game in which Battle mode has no trophies, but eh, someday right?

But overall, again, I love it. I love that you can play it in 3D. I love having Peach's castle as a course, cheep cheep beach, Pirnaha Plant Slide, the music course, Wario's shipwreck, and Neo Bowser City come to mind.
I love the underwater and flying gimmicks too, they give a nice change of flow to the game.

It's pretty good.
