I don't actually own it myself, but I did play a bit with my brother yesterday. Shy Guy FTW, amirite?
The new '7' item is a bit strange. At first I didn't know what to do with it, but when I figured it out it became a bit... awesome. I like it.
Also, in case you haven't figured this out, press up on the D-Pad to activate first-person mode and gyro controls (Turn 3D off for this one). If you're going for great times or you're playing alone this isn't much fun, but with friends it's hilarious! It takes a bit of getting used to, but that makes it all the funnier, watching my brother drive erratically side-to-side in front of me while he screams. Brilliant.
Mario Kart 7 has already become my favorite MK game! Game seems a bit more balanced then DS and Wii where I was getting blue shell'd every 15 seconds (here it's only every 30
). I love the kart customization and the 7 item is just crazy. I also like the gliding/underwater driving parts, gives a nice change of pace.
My favorite new tracks are Music Park, Rock Rock Mountain, Piranha Plant Slide (love the SMB feel it has), and the epic Rainbow Road. My current kart of choice is the B-Dasher with wooden wheels and Swooper glider.
I have completed 50 and 100cc with all 3-star ratings, 150cc is complete with at least a 2-star rating in every cup and just started doing mirror mode. I have done a few matches online. For those of you who don't know, I have created a Victory Road community online to get together with, the code is: 31-6496-1488-1744
Also, the remix of MK64's Rainbow Road that plays on the planet portion of 7's Rainbow Road is the most beautiful thing ever.
Edit 1/12: I have 3-star ratings on everything in 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and the classic tracks for Mirror. I have all the characters unlocked, it's just a matter of getting coins for all the parts.
1 – teamplasmaI've had this game for 4 full days and I already have all the characters and I'm currently working on getting 3 stars for everything, but 150cc is crazy.
I find that Toad using Soda Jet, Slick and Flower Glider gives a massive amount of top speed and acceleration, but low stats everywhere else, especially off-road and handling.
I have had this game for a while and have gotten pretty good at it. I'm currently trying to get 3 stars in all Grand Prixes. I currently use Lakitu in the Pipe Frame, with Slim wheels and the Swooper glider, though I aim to have a solid gold vehicle one day...
My current combo gives a low-speed, light, VERY high acceleration vehicle.
