Mario Kart 7

[topper1]

There seems to be more additions in this game than I thought there would be.

The coins are a nice touch!
The tracks are looking good so far!
The first person driving looks interesting!
The new items look fun!
And... its in 3D!!!

So want this!!!!!

 

[Tumble]

The game looks too good to be true.
I can't wait to play this game online!

Who knows about Metal Mario, maybe he's an unlockable character.

Looks like an item to me.

He's a playable character, not an item.

Mario Kart 7 Trailer Video

Metal Mario seems like a dumb idea imo. Lakitu is cool though but still kinda weird to see him playable. Anyways the new trailer looks pretty good. The rain feature is nice, the first person view is still really cool, and the new tracks look cool.

 

[Koopa]

I love how coins are back!

Metal Mario was a powerup for Mario from SM64 correct? It would be weird seeing him playable considering in SM64 it makes you really strong and almost invincible lol.

I think the Lakitu was a really nice touch though. Has he been a playable character before this? And also, I don't think I've seen one with a red shell before.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Metal Mario: Yes, he was a power up from Super Mario 64.

Lakitu: Nope, he's never been a playable character before this, unless you count Lakilester from Paper Mario. The one with a red shell is probably there to show that it's different than the normal one you see that usually do the hosting, camera controlling, and the starting race countdown.

I wasn't a big fan of coin collecting but it does add another element to the race which can have positive effects.

As long as it isn't like SC where your engine sucked until you collected a coin, I don't really mind coins. If they're for bonuses, cool.

Yeah the coins in Super Circuit really bugged me cause I'd usually bump into people so I'd lose coins and then spin out.

The coins better not disappear when you run into anything. Maybe a shop will involve the coins like Super Duel Mode from Mario Party 5.

 

[silentshadow]

I have mixed feelings about the coins; cool to see them come back but it's very annoying when other people hit me and I lose coins cus of them..

Metal Mario's kind of cool, although I think he would have been better off as an item or 'skin' for Mario. Lakitu's also kind of cool but I hate using characters that are only playable in one game. I like to stick to one character throughout a series as much as possible. Just a pet peeve of mine, can't help it!

 

[Nook]

Yeah, let's you don't lose all your coins when you get hit or it'll be seriously annoying. I think that in the easier games coins boost your maximum speed or at least I heard it did.

 

[silentshadow]

Oh and speaking of characters...

*prays Waluigi doesn't make it* (even though his TRACK made it in...)

I really hope they fill his spot in with a new/cooler character. I hate Waluigi. 

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

I don't think a track that has a character's name in it would not have that character playable. If Waluigi's track made it in, then it's likely that Waluigi will be a playable character. Even if he's not seen in screens and trailers, he may be a secret character.

 

[Nook]

Waluigi became a regular in the Mario Kart series. It's really unlikely that they would leave him out.

 

[silentshadow]

Waluigi became a regular in the Mario Kart series

Yeah but even so...

Being in three games in a row doesn't mean he'll stick by till the end. Regulars Yoshi and Wario weren't in the latest Tennis game. Luigi wasn't in two golf games. DK was a regular for MP until he was (kinda) taken out.

Sure, some of them had their reasons for not being playable anymore but still. How many games a character is in doesn't matter.. It's the general reception of that character, unless Nintendo doesn't really care about that stuff haha

 

[SuperZambezi]

Shy Guy playable (hopefully not just for Downloadable play), Luigi's Raceway from MK64, an SNES course, and a new track featuring a giant inflatable Toad.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Nice to see Shy Guy in.

A giant Toad, eh? Part of the course, obviously. His Mushroom hat is blue, including his vest.

Luigi's Raceway from Mario Kart 64? Sweet. I wonder if they bring back the same soundtrack the course used.
