Similar to preceding games, an overall "game ranking" of ★, ★★, or ★★★ is shown next to the player's nationality flag if the player has earned the designated ratings in all cups and in all classes. Collecting coins up to a maximum of ten slightly increases the player's top speed and, if enough are collected, will allow the player to unlock vehicle parts used for customization. Coins are to be found along a race track, and can be underwater, on the road, or in the air. It is also compatible with both SpotPass and StreetPass.Ĭoins make a prominent return since Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Mario Kart 7 returns to the traditional eight-driver race like in the previous installments, instead of the total of twelve as seen in Mario Kart Wii. It is possible to select the kart's body, wheels, and glider, although some parts need to be unlocked before they can be used, mainly through collecting coins during races. In addition, players now assemble their own karts, rather than select preset karts as in the previous games. Players can now use hang-gliders to navigate through the air and propellers to drive underwater. Players can also create custom communities, which can be accessed by other players via codes. Online races and battles return, allowing up to 8 players to race or battle using the Nintendo Network online service. Players can set their own rules for Battle Mode, choosing CPU difficulty, which items will appear or team games. Battle Mode features two different modes Balloon Battle and Coin Runners, the latter returning from Mario Kart Wii. Time Trials have players race on tracks to set records, as well as race against their own or other racers' ghosts. Along with Grand Prix, Time Trials, and Battle Modes also return. Players compete for gold trophies in the eight Grand Prix cups, four consisting of the new courses and four consisting of the retro courses, a returning feature from Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii. Mario Kart 7 features the standard gameplay present in preceding games in the series, with the gameplay style being very close to that of Mario Kart Wii. By pressing, the player can activate the view and then the system to steer. One of the gameplay mechanics in Mario Kart 7 is racing in first-person views.
