the thing unique to MK7 is how hitting walls works if you have any speed. you just bounce off the walls which is what differentiates it against 8 (in a negative way). that mechanic was added to help beginners who hit walls often not be super far behind but what it actually does is add a really annoyingly complex and unintuitive mechanic to help you move faster on most places in most stages.
i love this game too, i wish i could still play it i lost my card, but no doubt my favorite mk game too, wii’s close but i def like mk7 better, i spent so long tryna unlock everything 😂
Apart from the unneeded flower cup bashing, good video (I like those 1st 2 tracks a lot) Also mk7 is still my favourite mk game even taking into account it's "forgettableness" and mk8d doing everything 7 does
THIS COMMENT makes me happy because I feel as if when it comes to these types of videos everyone has pretty similar opinions but i’m glad mine stands out. the retro tracks themselves aren’t bad but like i said in the video I just think they had a lot of potential to be remade better!
Getting my 3ds back and im gonna play this game so much hope ctgp 7 brings this game back to life this is my favourite mario kart game and ive played all of the mainline games but double dash
Mario Kart 7 was the first Mario Kart game I ever played. I remember getting it in 2015 to replace New Super Mario Bros. 2 since I lost that copy of the game and I really enjoyed it. I remember struggling alot on SNES rainbow road the first time I tried it, but later on I got very used to it. In my opinion, Mario Kart 7 is an underrated masterpiece, and its among my childhood games.
As forgotten as this Mario Kart game is, Super Circuit was definitely played a lot until now. I’m actually friends with many GBA owners who keep a copy of MKSC on standby. They just didn’t know that they did until I point it out to them. On the other hand, I haven’t seen a 3DS owner in 10 years, and they rarely ever had a physical or digital copy of “Mario Kart 7.”
This was a really nice retrospective! I've had MK8 ever since it came out in 2014 and to be honest, I've been getting a bit bored with it lately, so I've been revisiting the older Mario Karts more often, mostly Wii and MK7. Even if it's not as good as some of the previous titles (mostly because of the somewhat boring item balance and lack of VS mode IMO), I still love MK7 and play it even to this day. On a sidenote, as someone who's played both games extensively, I feel that 8 is more or less an HD version of 7 (same gliding and underwater driving, same kart customization, coins, and same drifting styles).
VERY SOLID VIDEO AND I ENJOYED AND IT WAS ENGAGING YAY ANTO GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!! ❤ "The movement is more fluid underwater" is this some kind of sick joke. also tthe mk7 and 3d Land comparison to the console releases is SO TRUE. !!!!!!!!!!!! LOTS OF GOOD POINTS 1 critiqure 8:54 was a fucking banger but it was Loud I also liked when you said fuck
I do own and never really played MK7 that much, but I thought that MK7 was mostly ignored because there where technically better ways to enjoy it (especially on a big screen) both before and after it came out, or something along those lines.
i can honestly see this viewpoint, however I think that deluxe (while mechanically different from the original) very much carries on 8’s legacy not to mention that a huge reason that 8 was kind of left in the dust is simply because of the Wii U’s failure not so much the game itself being forgettable.
I never understood why the game is disliked. Only thing I don't like is how unstable the online and Mario Kart Channel is. The game also can hang while closing since this was one of the few 3DS titles that saves while closing
I remembered playing the hell out of time trials mode in this game since there was no VS mode and racing against the SpotPass ghosts to try to improve my PBs and learn new shortcuts. Also, the ultra shortcuts are on a similar part with MkWii albeit the ones on the Wuhu tracks are really easy. Great video nonetheless.
mario kart 7 is def my favorite, i have a few things i dislike, like how they removed some characters an some fun maps an stuff like that, but overall i really enjoyed playing this game all the time when i was younger and 100% it, i wish it got more recognition bc its personally my favorite, bruh and i also loved super mario 3d land too, i had only the slept on games i feel like 😂, cuz they were both so good, and to be fair for most of my childhood i had a gameboy and a 3ds not no consoles so all i could play we’re the handheld games, and i personally think almost all of em are slept on
For me Mario Kart Wii was everywhere, not only was it the Mario Kart I played the most, it was also very big at several peoples houses that I went to and was also big at my elementary school.
nobody gave it a chance because of the huge amount of micro transactions and lack of interesting advanced gameplay mechanics even if it does have some new tracks
7 was unique in a way and it has better glider physics than 8 that was I like this game more than 8 not to mention the made the bomb and blue shell explosion radius smaller to and it’s easier to dodge blue shell not to make the blue shell has its original appearance look to it which is not and it’s not just unfair like in Wii so that’s a huge plus not to mention 7 has better kart drift physics than Wii and mk8 even though it’s just a downgrade of MKW but 10x better than that with physics and 7 it’s a lucky number for the seventh installment
Can we please stop making videos like this? This is the 4th best selling Mario kart, it's not forgotten and hasn't been for awhile. "The best racing game you've never heard of" vibes. Now I understand why GamerAlexVideos hates this type of content. Please make something original.
in this video I go over why I personally think the game has been forgotten and I even ADDRESSED the fact that it was a high-selling game. your portraying a narrative that I think the game is unknown given that quote but there's a big difference between unknown and forgotten. I know lots of people have played Mario Kart 7 and maybe you haven't forgotten about it. In fact, I know a lot of other people still fondly remember the game but that's a minority vs. a majority.
i guess we're all hypocrites here since you dont make "original content" either. lmao. obviously i dont literally mean 100% original content because thats nearly impossible considering how many users and how many videos are uploaded on youtube per day. return with an actual good comeback@@SebsistButReal
FIRST
i have a blue shell 😈

Im not kidding, I still play this game actively and its honestly my favorite nintendo game of all time. No joke
AGREED ME TOO MAN I JUST LOVE THIS GAME BUT I LOST THE GAMECARD AND MY 3DS DIED
i love this game too, i wish i could still play it i lost my card, but no doubt my favorite mk game too, wii’s close but i def like mk7 better, i spent so long tryna unlock everything 😂
Dude Mario kart 7 was bought in my family 10 yrs ago and I’ve played it twice
i’d be in the same position had i not made mario kart 7 videos….
everyone like the pinned comment right now.... also let me know what you want to see...
Mario kart!
Apart from the unneeded flower cup bashing, good video (I like those 1st 2 tracks a lot)
Also mk7 is still my favourite mk game even taking into account it's "forgettableness" and mk8d doing everything 7 does
Also you're literally the first person in the world I've ever watched who doesn't think the retro selection is amazing in this game
THIS COMMENT makes me happy because I feel as if when it comes to these types of videos everyone has pretty similar opinions but i’m glad mine stands out. the retro tracks themselves aren’t bad but like i said in the video I just think they had a lot of potential to be remade better!
@@AntoG the retros weren't really improved until mario kart 8, sadly we were a game too short for that lol
Bro this is kinda a underrated game…no one other then my cousins k ow about it…(anyway I like the vid and I’m glad to say I subbed)

i always love hearing little stories like this, thanks for sharing!
Same here
@@AntoG Your welcome! :)
the one i first played was mario kart ds but mario kart 7 is my main childhood and ill never forget it
Another MK7 video! This is my favorite game in the series and i've played it since I was 4 years old. I will not forget about this game any time soon
What I'm getting is that MK7 is just MKWii 2 but forgotten. (Not by me lolol)
NO WAY BRO CALLED WALUIGI PINBALL WALUIGI STADIUM 💀💀💀💀
OOPSIE DAISY
Everyone ignores this game? Allow me to introduce myself.
It’s underrated for me because I genuinely loved it😭
People just were salty about no Waluigi on the roster
Very true for younger me lol

"The movement is more fluid underwater"
is this some kind of sick joke.
also tthe mk7 and 3d Land comparison to the console releases is SO TRUE. !!!!!!!!!!!! LOTS OF GOOD POINTS
1 critiqure 8:54 was a fucking banger but it was Loud
I also liked when you said fuck

Honestly, I’d say the most forgotten Mario Kart is the original 8. At least there’s only one 7..
i can honestly see this viewpoint, however I think that deluxe (while mechanically different from the original) very much carries on 8’s legacy not to mention that a huge reason that 8 was kind of left in the dust is simply because of the Wii U’s failure not so much the game itself being forgettable.
great stuff dude keep it up 🤞
I never understood why the game is disliked. Only thing I don't like is how unstable the online and Mario Kart Channel is. The game also can hang while closing since this was one of the few 3DS titles that saves while closing
Mk7 is very underrated for real
It doesn’t even have VS mode though
I remembered playing the hell out of time trials mode in this game since there was no VS mode and racing against the SpotPass ghosts to try to improve my PBs and learn new shortcuts. Also, the ultra shortcuts are on a similar part with MkWii albeit the ones on the Wuhu tracks are really easy. Great video nonetheless.
I do Play Mario Kart 7 in my old Nintendo 3DS because it’s my most favorite game ever
I am one of the two people who still play Mario Kart 7 today
ive been playing my 3DS a lot recently because its modded and generally, i have a lot of games for it. MK7 really is fun and deserves more i think
at least the tracks look better than the dlc (also, in europe, music park is melody motorway)
mario kart 7 is def my favorite, i have a few things i dislike, like how they removed some characters an some fun maps an stuff like that, but overall i really enjoyed playing this game all the time when i was younger and 100% it, i wish it got more recognition bc its personally my favorite, bruh and i also loved super mario 3d land too, i had only the slept on games i feel like 😂, cuz they were both so good, and to be fair for most of my childhood i had a gameboy and a 3ds not no consoles so all i could play we’re the handheld games, and i personally think almost all of em are slept on
Uh? Did MKDD not have weight-based kart options and stats before MKWii? Am I misremembering??
no your absolutely right! i was trying to talk about how many stats were actually displayed in game but didn’t word it the best
The lack of single-player VS mode also contributes to making it less memorable too
I never played it but it looks good
i’d definitely recommend playing
Wow. I actually just got the game to come with my new 3ds...
I mean I did choose to download play mkds over MK7 (mainly so me and my friend can play Yoshi Falls
Nice Video Anto!😊
I LOVE THIS GAME!
I LOVE UR PFP
super circuit sitting in the corner
Not even true, Mario Kart GP Arcade is the actual forgotten game.
i played mario kart for years, i had 85% winrate online and broken 3 cartridges from overuse.. if you can still play it online i will go back
you should try it out again!
Hey I said that 10 months ago
Mario kart 7 waled so Mario kart 8/ 8 deluxe could run
This is how I am with mkwii
Bro me and my friend play it all the time
I like Mariokart 7 :)
lol I only play mk7 on my 3ds I dont have mk8
bro, this was my first Mario Kart
I still prefer 7 over stuff like DS or Wii
I found Wii very forgettable nowadays
For me Mario Kart Wii was everywhere, not only was it the Mario Kart I played the most, it was also very big at several peoples houses that I went to and was also big at my elementary school.
Tour is still better because of the amount of content which is irrefutable. No one gave tour a real chance.
That's how people are nowadays
nobody gave it a chance because of the huge amount of micro transactions and lack of interesting advanced gameplay mechanics even if it does have some new tracks

MK7 is memorable for me because it rescued the franchise from Mario Kart Wii... I hate Mario Kart Wii.
I hate MK7
Why
Boo hoo
@@SebsistButReal more like womp womp to you because you like it
