The seventh game in the Mario Kart series, released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.This installment features many assets from Mario Kart Wii, but adds in several new additions to the series. Karts are now capable of driving underwater and are fitted with gliders, allowing them to travel through the air after driving off of a gliding ramp. Many of the returning tracks from previous games have been altered to incorporate these new mechanics. The game also introduces kart customization beyond simply choosing which character and which kart. Karts now have three separate parts: chassis, wheels, and gliders.Coins return after having been absent from the series since Mario Kart: Super Circuit, making this the first 3D Mario Kart to include them (not counting the Arcade GP games).If you're looking for tropes for the Game Mod CTGP-7 (which uses this game as a base), here it is. | |

Antepiece | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b | comment |
Antepiece: Rainbow Road features one. Partway through the track, a glider launchpad leads directly into a large star ring that gives the racers a small speed boost. In the final third of the race, the track opens into an open gliding section where racers have to avoid floating asteroids and fly through a series of smaller, spread-out star rings to stay in flight. Toad Circuit has an optional ramp with a glider launchpad, usually only used after the first lap. Using it doesn't take your kart very far (it's actually better to ignore it), but it lets the player get used to the gliding controls. Then the next level, Daisy Hills, has a larger gliding section at the end, with more obstacles to avoid (and the lake below acting as a Bottomless Pit) and its launchpads are mandatory to progress. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: The game pads out the requirements to unlock kart parts to the extreme. Every part requires you collecting coins to unlock them. Some parts only need a few hundred coins while other parts can only be unlocked every few thousand coins. One of the final parts will force you to get 10,000 coins or more. Have fun playing the same tracks over and over again since you can only hold 10 coins max per race. The only consolation is that a few select parts can be unlocked (or at least be unlocked a bit faster) by winning races online and successfully connecting to another player with the StreetPass feature in 7. If you lack Wi-Fi and/or don't live in a dense city where you can run into someone who also has their StreetPass turned on, or you don't have friends to play with, then you will have to resort to coin collecting. | |

Musical Gameplay: The game adds drums to the Background Music when you are in the lead. And one of its stages, Music Park / Melody Motorway, has jumping musical notes for obstacles, that jump in time to the Background Music. They even speed up their jumping to match the sped-up music in the last lap. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: The top screen on the Nintendo 3DS shows Mario demonstrating how fast you'd expect to be going when you select a difficulty level. In 50cc mode, Mario drives really slowly. On top of this, the added beat to the music that plays when you have a big lead in a race doesn't play on the easy setting. All of the character unlocks are tied to 150cc and Mirror, the hardest difficulty levels. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Put a Fragile Speedster in these vehicles and you have this trope in action: The Soda Jet offers the second-to-best top speed and acceleration with a decent mini-turbo, handling and the best drift, but is extremely light and endures off-road more than the Bruiser. B Dasher is heavier than Soda Jet and has the best top speed in the game, but can be considered this because it is as vulnerable to off-road, which is the Mighty Glaciers' privilege in this game. It is also slower to start and gives an average drift couple with a lame mini-mini-turbo. Slick tires are the Glass Cannon tires of this game: they give the best land top speed and the most precise drift with a decent mini-turbo and stability (and weight), but only a small acceleration, no handling and are the most vulnerable to off-road. | |

| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_33310c11 | comment |
Under the Sea: Ever since this game introduced underwater racing as a mechanic, many aquatic courses are either completely this theme, such as Cheep Cheep Lagoon in Mushroom Cup; become this theme as a returning course, such as Koopa Cape in Lightning Cup going from Shark Tunnel to this; or have this theme mixed with another theme, such as Wario Shipyard in Star Cup mixing Gangplank Galleon with it. | |

Super Drowning Skills: Falling into the lake of Daisy Hills equals falling into a bottomless pit. The reason for this is because the game's novelty of underwater sections isn't introduced until the next course, as Daisy Hills itself focuses on introducing aerial driving instead. | |

Wario's Shipyard features Wario in his Bull Wario form on a sign, and features a musical motif from the first two Wario Land games. While its exact location and shipwreck theme isn't an obvious reference to one location, these coupled with its pirate theming make the course an homage to Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, which had both many ships and pirate-themed locations and enemies owing to the presence of the Brown Sugar Gang led by Captain Syrup. | |

Musical Nod: Neo Bowser City's music is a blend of N64 Toad's Turnpike, the title theme of 7, and the Circuit themes from Mario Kart Wii and 7. New Rainbow Road uses the chorus from N64 Rainbow Road. The section before that is a variation of the N64 Staff Roll. The results music is that from Mario Kart 64, raised up a full step. | |

Design-It-Yourself Equipment: In addition to bringing back the coins from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, the game introduces gliders, and underwater driving, introduces the option to personalize the player's vehicle, even more so than Mario Kart DS (where each driver had a standard kart plus a unique kart) or Mario Kart Wii (where each weight class had its own set of bikes and karts). The player can select the kart body, the tires, and the glider to build the desired kart. By collecting many coins from the races in Grand Prix mode, the player can unlock a new body, a new set of tires, or a new glider to use. It is possible to acquire a maximum of ten coins in a race. As the user chooses the parts, the stats may vary according to the parts' combination, and the vehicle will work better in particular situations. | |

| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_4cefd8a6 | comment |
Long Song, Short Scene: Rainbow Road in this game is one long lap, broken into three sections. This game's version of the Rainbow Road theme has a very long intro, and on most speed settings it will have only just reached the 'normal' Rainbow Road leitmotif when you get to the third section, at which point it restarts and plays at a higher speed. The section on the Moon also has its own Variable Mix of the course's entire soundtrack loop, but you'll only hear around twenty seconds of it unless you deliberately park in place. | |

Nostalgia Level: In addition to bringing retro tracks as usual, the game also evokes other Nintendo games with some of the new courses: Shy Guy Bazaar is a major shout out not only to Super Mario Bros. 2, but also to Doki Doki Panic, considering the Arabian setting. Piranha Plant Slide, later a retro course in Mario Kart 8, is one giant homage to the original game. DK Jungle, later a retro course in Mario Kart 8, is a love letter to Donkey Kong Country Returns, since Retro Studios designed it. | |

Slippy-Slidey Ice World | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_5914d5dd | comment |
Slippy-Slidey Ice World: Rosalina's Ice World lives up to its name, with most of the track being covered in snow and ice. Being a Special Cup track, it's designed a lot more dangerously than most snow-themed tracks (which after Super's Vanilla Lake 2 have all been found in the Star or Flower Cups of their debut games), with the slippery ice becoming especially hazardous when navigating narrow roads next to a pit and dodging giant impeding icicles. Penguins also show up near the underwater segment, which can be skipped on lap 1 or with a speed boost on later laps, where the ice on the water's surface has drifted slightly farther out. DK Pass returns from DS. There's no ice, but plenty of snow that's as slippery to drive on. Snowballs and snowmen show up as obstacles on the course. Sherbet Rink is the first battle course with this look since SNES Battle Course 3, taking place in a colorful ice rink decorated with Peach signage. It's possibly the most colorful ice stage in a Mario Kart game, and both Snowmen and waddling penguins act as obstacles. | |

Fragile Speedster | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_5979acea | comment |
Fragile Speedster: Kart combinations below give the best air top speed in the game. Concerning characters, the game distinguishes feather (Toad, Koopa, Shy Guy and Lakitu) and light characters (Peach, Yoshi and Daisy): both have the best handling and top speed underwater and while the latter have a better weight and land top speed than the former, they are worse everywhere else. They also are the same size as middleweights, making them more vulnerable. Regarding kart bodies, Birthday Girl, Bumble V and Egg 1 have the best acceleration while Cloud 9 and Pipe Frame are close second, but are the lightest. Bumble V's mini-turbo is also the most powerful while others' are only average and is faster than others on land (even if only above average), but is the least controllable on land. On the other hand, Birthday Girl and Cloud 9 are extremely precise but the slowest while Egg 1 and Pipe Frame are average in these two areas. Their off-road, however, is variable: Bumble V and Pipe Frame are excellent in this area while Cloud 9 and Egg 1 are average and Birthday Girl is mediocre. Roller, Sponge and Wood tires amplify this trope for these vehicles in varying ways (though all of them give a great acceleration and the best air top speed): the first gives the best acceleration, handling, mini-turbo and stability, but no weight, land top speed or drift, and average off-road; Sponge also gives a good acceleration, an incredible drift, a decent off-road and an average stability, but a moderate handling, a lightweight and a small land top speed; Wood tires give a ludicrous drift, stability and good handling and off-road, but a lightweight (but not as light as others), a bad land top speed and no mini-turbo. | |

Lucky Seven | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_5a57bdaa | comment |
Lucky Seven: This game introduces the "Lucky 7" item, which surrounds you with seven items you can use as you want. But it's a double-edged sword and can backfire in several ways, as the items will also activate if someone else touches you, and can be lost entirely if you get hit by an item or course hazard. Its successor, the Crazy 8, spawns eight items to use at once. | |

Socialization Bonus: The StreetPass feature unlocks the Gold Glider part. The more people you connect with the feature, the fewer coins you need to unlock the part. Don't live in a place where lots of people own a copy of the game and use the StreetPass feature? Have fun grinding for 10,000 coins to get that Gold Gilder. | |

BottomlessPit | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_5b415ef2 | comment |
Toad Circuit has an optional ramp with a glider launchpad, usually only used after the first lap. Using it doesn't take your kart very far (it's actually better to ignore it), but it lets the player get used to the gliding controls. Then the next level, Daisy Hills, has a larger gliding section at the end, with more obstacles to avoid (and the lake below acting as a Bottomless Pit) and its launchpads are mandatory to progress. | |

| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Most players of reasonable ability will be able to breeze through the 50cc and 100cc classes and achieve three stars regardless of player/kart selections. Then there is a noticeable difficulty spike on 150cc and 150cc Mirror where the enemies become much more ruthless, have a better spread of items and track specific hazards become much harder to dodge because of the speeds involved. Achieving a three star rating on every cup takes a LOT of perseverance. | |

Marathon Level: Rainbow Road is long enough that it's also one long lap around the course, divided into three segments, rather than one whole lap. It's one of three courses in its game to be a three segment course rather than a three lap one, the others being the two Wuhu Island courses (Wuhu Loop, where you loop around Wuhu Island; and Maka Wuhu, where you drive up Maka Wuhu then glide back to the beach). | |

Death Mountain: The Flower Cup course Rock Rock Mountain, known in the game's European version as Alpine Pass. It's a grassy alpine biome located in a tall, rocky mountain of great altitude the drivers ride across. At one point, they enter a cave with some Swoops and exit by gliding towards the alpine forest; this is later followed by driving upward through a steep ascent while dodging some incoming boulders. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The British English version of the game dubs the track Neo Bowser City "Koopa City". Koopa is Bowser's Japanese name, and that is indeed the name used for the track in the Japanese version of the game, but to international audiences "Koopa" calls to mind an ordinary turtle mook that appears nowhere in the stage. You'd think the fact that the track has pictures of Bowser plastered everywhere would have tipped them off... | |

Athletic Arena Level: In addition to having circuits hosted by Toad and Mario, the game also has two courses set within Wuhu Island, of Wii Sports Resort fame. Specifically, the tracks are based on the Cycling tracks. These courses are so long that they only have to be traversed in one lap each (the only other course to have this distinction in the game is Rainbow Road). Among the retro tracks, the game has the second Mario Circuit from Super and Luigi Raceway from 64. | |

Retraux: The music for the retro courses was also remastered, and the music tends to sound very similar to how it originally sounded, but with an added Truck Driver's Gear Change for the last lap/segment, and better instruments. The SNES version of Rainbow Road sounds fairly close to the original, just with cleaner synths and a better mix, for example. | |

Mighty Glacier | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_933576c8 | comment |
Mighty Glacier: A distinction is applied between Cruiser characters (Donkey Kong, Rosalina and Wiggler) and Heavy characters (Bowser, Wario, Honey Queen and Metal Mario): the former share some flaws of the latter like a weaker mini-turbo and drift, a larger hitbox and their advantages like weight and top speed aren't as strong, but some flaws like the weak acceleration aren't as problematic and they also benefit middleweights' off-road. 7 vehicle bodies like the Bruiser, Zucchini, Blue Seven, and Bolt Buggy give a great top speed, a good weight to push opponents and a decent off-road, but lame acceleration. Gold Standard is heavy and powerful, but is weak to off-road, while the Barrel Train actually has a good acceleration. Gold and Slick Tires give the best top speed with a decent weight and mini-turbo, but a lame acceleration and off-road. Monster and Red Monsters also give a good top speed coupled with a good weight and off-road, but are unstable and make the vehicle slower to start. | |

Loads and Loads of Loading: The game comes with beautifully designed track stages that move in full stereoscopic 60FPS, but with the jarring side-effect that you're presented with 4 to 7 seconds of white loading screens, each before and after the track preview. Granted, it's not much, but we're talking about a Nintendo handheld game stored on flash memory! | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: If you press down on the D-Pad, you switch to "tilt" mode where you turn the 3DS to steer. Simple enough, but the Trick command is still mapped to the shoulder Jump button. In Mario Kart Wii, you jerked the Wii Remote up to do the same thing. Motion control users from Wii found their 3DS screens flying off if they do this too much with their more fragile handheld, and those who used a Classic or GameCube controller in Wii found themselves unwittingly activating the motion controls. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: Getting three stars on any Grand Prix Mode requires you to — at the very least — win every race, finish every race with ten coins, and lead for more than half of the second and third laps. Anyone who knows anything about the 150cc and Mirror modes in this series is probably going to immediately realize just how difficult this is going to be; a perfect race with the player in 1st can easily end in tears before the finish line if an NPC fires a blue shell, and/or several of them get red shells and barrage you. Especially frustrating is if this happens on the last lap of the fourth and final race. | |

Interface Spoiler: A subtle one, but when the player completes the final race required to achieve a star ranking in every cup of every class, the star(s) will be added to the player's league table position before the trophy reveal. In a way this is a good thing, as immediately upon completion the player will be able to see if, for example, they have managed to achieve one, two or three stars overall. | |

Foreshadowing: If, when starting the race, Lakitu is wearing a snorkel mask and his cloud is wearing goggles, that's a way of telling you that you will have a significant amount of underwater driving. He does this on Cheep Cheep Lagoon, Piranha Plant Slide, Wario Shipyard, Rosalina's Ice World, N64 Koopa Beach, GCN Daisy Cruiser, and Wii Koopa Cape. Interestingly, he does not do this on Bowser's Castle even though that track has an underwater segment. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Quite a few. Nintendo EAD and Retro Studios really went all out to fill this Mario Kart with references to the Mario series's past. The starting roster is identical to Super Mario Kart, with Donkey Kong replacing Donkey Kong Jr. There are a lot of musical references to Mario Kart 64 in particular: the race results theme is a new rendition of the one from that game, the 1st place victory theme sounds a lot like 64's with an electric guitar and additional notes, and 3DS Rainbow Road features a loving section of the 64 Rainbow Road melody (which was similarly implemented in Double Dash), which even kickstarts the theme in the faster variant that plays as you enter the third section of the track. The main theme heard in circuits has a segment that sounds an awful lot like part of 64's raceway theme, and Neo Bowser City features both this riff and parts of the Toad's Turnpike theme. On a non-music note, the Blue Shell returns to its wingless design and ground-travelling behavior from its debut and Super Circuit. The original Mario kart, the lone vehicle in the entries prior to Double Dash!! introducing a vehicle selectionnote (Super Mario Kart, 64 and Super Circuit), is now selectable as an unlockable kart body with the name of Pipe Frame. This game is the first Mario Kart to bring back older entries' vehicles in general (at least as kart bodies), with the Barrel Train returning from Double Dash!! with a design adjusted for one racer and the Egg 1 and B Dasher making a comeback from DS. Shy Guy's Bazaar is filled with referenced to the games that introduced Shy Guys and brought them to the Mario series - it takes place in a desert a la World 2 of Subcon, bringing back a Middle Eastern motif of Doki Doki Panic as well as the vases from that game, and red carpets throughout the track feature the sprites of Phantos, Pansers, and Cobrats, as well as the Angry Sun. Piranha Plant Slide has the look and feel of the Super Mario Bros overworld in 3D, with structures resembling that game's tiles and their bright, iconic colors. In an especially subtle reference, its bushes and clouds have the same polygonal geometry with different textures applied to each - a reference to the bushes and clouds in Super Mario Bros. being the same sprite with different palettes. Wario's Shipyard features Wario in his Bull Wario form on a sign, and features a musical motif from the first two Wario Land games. While its exact location and shipwreck theme isn't an obvious reference to one location, these coupled with its pirate theming make the course an homage to Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, which had both many ships and pirate-themed locations and enemies owing to the presence of the Brown Sugar Gang led by Captain Syrup. DK Jungle is one big reference to Donkey Kong Country Returns, also developed by Retro. It features the return of the Frogoons and Tiki Goons from that game. Rosalina's Ice World has some references to Super Mario Galaxy, such as a downed Toad Brigade Starshroom, the Comet Observatory in the background, and a portion of the music being remixed from the Space Junk Galaxy theme. Rainbow Road (making its annual appearance) is also filled with references to Galaxy, for example incorporating Launch Stars into its layout. | |

Medley: The music for the Wuhu Island tracks is a medley of the themes of Wii Sports Resort and Wii Sports. Neo Bowser City is a medley of the circuit/title themes from 7, Toad's Turnpike from 64, and the circuit theme from Wii. | |

Red Baron | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_ab2df806 | comment |
Red Baron: Each player is given a title (the player can view their own under Mario Kart Channel, at the face icon) based on how they play (for example, Quick Starter is for those good at hitting a boost at the start, while Dolphin is for those good at racing underwater). When racing against the AI-controlled version of those players gained through StreetPass, their play style is informed by their title. | |

Jack of All Stats | |
| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_ac9f78d9 | comment |
Jack of All Stats: Once again, Mario and Luigi are the representants of this trope along with the Miis. Light and Cruiser characters are this for nervous and powerful characters respectively: their goods and flaws are more moderate than feather and heavy characters, but the former are middle-sized and the latter are large-sized. While there are standard combos for kart bodies, tires and gliders, any character can approach this trope thanks to the endless combinations: a heavy character with a light combo (or the perfect opposite) can become a balanced character to some degree. | |

However, its turbo are mediocre and its (land) top speed below average (it has the best underwater top speed, however).

| Mario Kart 7 (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: Eventually patched for online play, but the game had a certain glitch that effectively cut one third of one race track. Maka Wuhu was one of the courses that were really long and cut into three sections instead of laps. However, if you jump off the course at the right area near the beginning of the second section, you'll respawn right near the end, skipping it entirely. Eventually everyone who played the course online did this, necessitating the patch. | |
