EXACTLY like in mario kart wii i made a rule where if a map had a characters name in it then i would have to play as the character. for example if it said mario circuit then i would have to play as mario so its really a bummer that waluigi couldnt play in his own map
Finally someone says it. This video expresses my exact thoughts on this game. It's a good game, but not up to MarioKart standards. MK8 is far more enjoyable, and they brought back the Vs. option!
Wait, a video I thought was going to be a rant on how Nintendo is so much worse than microsoft and we should feel bad for liking such an awful monstrosity of a game, actually turned out to be a review that brought up valid points and reasons for what was actually wrong with a game? In other words, this was an actual review? That's amazing! :D I don't necessarily agree with everything you say here (for example, I thought the tracks were extremely varied and creative) but for the love of god, this is actually a quality review!
This review was great. It was well-edited and touched on valid points on why MK7 wasn't as good as expected. Although I agree with every point you made, the game is still fun to play. You should have added more about the plus-side of the game, such as the 'Join Game' option through the friends list or ability for the game to be patched by Nintendo for future updates. Either way, excellent video. Keep it up. ;-)
I thought a lot of the tracks were really awesome, and since Shy Guy and Rosalina were two of my favorite Mario characters, I'm pretty content with the roster. I do agree with the VS mode thing, though.
I gotta admit, despite the fact I love Mario Kart 7 and all, you got really good points about why MK7 isn't great compared to the other titles :) Also I like the way you edit footage together, makes it look very professional.
I'm sad that this video has so many dislikes because this video was just about someone expressing his own, personal feelings. All the people who disliked were probably mad that he hated mk7. (btw I 100% agree with you, I hate this game).
Eh, I'm not too worried about it. Humans will be humans. In any case, I should have done a better job emphasizing that the video is specifically why the game sucks. There are plenty of good things about it that I could have said if it were a formal review. Still hate it though.
You sir have no idea what your talking about. Mario kart Wii for life. Why? Here's why. 1. Bikes lel 2. Better character roster 3. BETTER LEVELS (And Retro) 4. Custom Tracks (Search CTGP Revolution on RUclips 5. It's Mario kart Wii 6. It's not Mario kart 7 7. Pie.
Meeba Productions yeah, bikes were in the game, but i hated the motion controls, and to me it made the game unplayable. now, i've gotten classic controllers and am able to play it reletively well, i thoroughly enjoyed it.
By the title I was expecting a faaar worse video. Now I dont agree completely with the video, however, he is completely right about the VS mode missing. That part was just ridiculous. The amount of characters didnt bug me at all. The tracks too are amazing in my opinion (Melody Motorway, Koopa City, DK Jungle and many more awesome courses, plus one of the series best Rainbow Roads). Still, the fact that VS mode was missing is just...baffling.
You act like Mario Kart Wii was this high and mighty game that was the best in the series. It isn't. It's one of the worst. It's broken as hell, incredibly imbalanced, and even THAT game had some courses that sucked. The only reason I was able to warm up to some of them was, like you said, I had the Vs. Mode option. That doesn't make the courses in MK7 any worse, it just made it easier to pick out the better courses to race on in MKWii. That being said, Mario Kart 7 WAS very mundane and felt like they were going through the motions, but this is because the game was rushed and lacked identity, as it was trying to be exactly like Mario Kart 64. Lots of reused music from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii, the graphical style was very similar to MKWii… and whatever stuff WAS new just felt incredibly bland.
Why it is the worst Mario kart 1.no waluigi 2.no single player vs 3.they removed bikes and 12 racers 4.they added metal Mario wiggler and a bee 5.there are no cool characters like r.o.b Petey prianna and dry bowser
Thanks for the review. Finally someone that will actually review a Mario game objectively instead of kissing its butt. I was on the fence about this game and now I know not to get it. Thanks.
Mario Kart 7 is, by far, the worst Mario Kart game. It's just frustrating. Stupid. Graphics are awful (even by 3DS standards), music is lackluster, lack of characters, average design courses, Wii's lame battle mode, not the best course selection of new or retro (though retro was better), kart customization not really being as cool as it sounded with BS ways of unlocking the parts, etc. This was the ONLY Mario Kart game where Blue Shells pissed me off. I got hit with one to two a GP in Wii, and more like 3 a RACE in 7. And it was only me. If a CPU was in first place, there were no Blue Shells. And worst of all IMO, they literally just handed out 3 Star Ranks. In Mario Kart Wii, I had to WORK to earn them. It required me to not fall off edges, get hit, not miss shortcuts or drifts, etc., while 7 just gave you a 3 Star Rank if you got first in every race, so now every looser who has time on their hands can get a 3 Star Rank without skill. I agree with all of your points, except this game being fun. It's not. In my circle of friends, about 8-9 of them have MK7, and while they may not all agree that it's the worst Mario Kart game, they all say it's pretty bad. I personally think it's a horrible game. 4/10 stars.
That this game does not have Vs. mode is especially devastating because you can't play tracks individually, even though you'll very likely be playing in short bursts, as this IS a handheld game.
I kinda agree, this Mario kart is lacking some modes and stuff but its a decent Mario kart overall. mario kart ds is the best mario kart though graphic wise mario kart 7 looks better and aged pretty well compaired to ds but I digress. mario kart ds has more modes + mission mode (exclusive to ds unless you play mkwii online mission mode!)
When I first saw MK7,I thought "Hey,What if they made the next Mk called Mario kart 8" But HEY Mario kart U sounds horribly great and as awesome as you make it.
Im a big Mario Kart fan, I liked MK7 I played it a lot! But I agree with the point that there is no free/vs mode for single player... Double Dash is still my number 1 but that's because of nostalgia. I now have MK8 and this is game is just amaaaazing try it out u will have a blast. AAAND it is had VS. mode with lots of custom options!
I love how he says mk7 sucks and then says wii is awesome when wii is arguably one of the worst installments. The reasons for different gliders is for pure asthetics. What reason in halo or any other fps can you customize your characters look. It doesnt do a damn thing. But you do it so that you can make it look how you want to. That was a petty and stupid arguement. I agree with you alot on how you unlock things, that system of getting coins and random toys was just terrible. Mario Kart wii had terrible courses. How can you say wii was awesome and say mk7 had terrible courses. Mkwii had boring courses that were terrible depending on you vehicle. Like alot of levels in wii had you making sharp turns that alot of vehicles could barely make. Wii was ultimately a terrible mario kart. Vs I 100 percent agree with you on. Vs Mode miss was just terrible. It was like they went mentally fucking retarded with that shit. That pissed me off bcuz no reviewer on the fucking planet warned me about that shit. Mario Kart Wii was so bad. It is honestly worse than mk7 on so many levels its not even funny. I really felt like they didnt even try with mario kart wii. Although mk7 is definitely not the best mario kart, hell no it isnt but it definitely surpasses wii
This review was pretty good. While I like Mario Kart 7 you made some valid points for not liking this game. And I like how you said WHERE THE HECK DID VS MODE GO??? I said the same thing when I found out that VS mode was not in this game.
It's not like Community races are the only thing to do when you are racing online. And what I meant with same courses is that they're equally enjoyable and get bored at an equally fast pace as the Mario Kart Wii courses do, you know why you start to enjoy it on a small screen slower than on your TV? Because your brains cells tell you to earlier.
exept its gimic is uesless u get coins in mystery boxes there are too many non mario cahracters and just copy and pasted bowser junior over and over the amibo support is bullshit its called mario kart not kirby kart or zelda kart or even splatoon kart its an amazing game but if it says mario kart then it already is
I have so many reasons why I dislike Mario Kart 7, I could literally make a video about it. First off, I'd have better luck winning the lottery than getting the three stars rank. Second, I feel like they spam a blue shell every lap, on single player. Finally, I find online to be tolerable, but sometimes annoying.
lets not forget its terrible character roster queen bee? metal mario? a fucking caterpillar? and they couldn't put in waluigi because of "time restraints" (I'm a waluigi fanboy - w -)
I do agree with you on almost every point. The Maka Wuhu tracks suck, the single player mode (no vs) sucks, the new characters suck, the blue shell tumble sucks, all the gliders suck. But I'm very happy about the things I've seen of Mario Kart 8. All the 3DS tracks that are returning are exactly those tracks that were the best new ones from that game. Good review! Here, take my like!
Both mk7 and mkw have their ups and downs, combine both of the positive things about them and make mk8 almost impossible to top (note I said ALMOST impossible)
Good points you got except for the Gliders, the unlockable karts and courses First of all, it's about personal preferences which Glider you use, there is no "Best", not even the Gold Glider is "The one" because that isn't made to gain heigth for mushroom-less shortcuts. All of them are used if you have a look online. And about the Karts, the Golden one isn't just unlocked by 20.000 Coins, you can also get 10.000 online VR which is more fun and social with friends And courses, not much different.
I think MK7 is a good MK game despite having lack of content and new features, but I agree with most of the things you said even though I don't hate the game. Btw you forgot to mention that you can't use bikes like in MKW and you can't look backwards like in MKW
I think Mario Kart 7 is the best in the series. It brings back tons of stages I love and I thoroughly enjoy the new ones. The online is good and I really don't mind the random parts thing. Is it the best design choice? No but, it didn't bother me. Mario Kart Wii is fun but it's not amazing there's lots of imbalances and the tracks are to me as you feel about MK7
I havent bought the game and stuff but in my opinion the character choices are a bit... weird... Like not adding Waluigi (I dont like him at all, but he should have been in there) and I would actually like to play was the Honey Queen haha. The courses seem a lot of fun though, (havent played, just saw playthroughs). Your minor complaints and the fact they didnt include versus mode are bad though... I dont think im going to get it anymore now....
MK7 improved a lot of glaring faults from MKW, hate to have to say it, but chances are if you liked MKW and not MK7, you were benefitting a lot from those faults. Maybe you just have no imagination and were fine using the one useful character from MKW, or you can't handle actual karts in a karting game. Honey Queen was still more of a character than Funky Kong or Metal Mario and atleast wasn't a reskin. All of the gliders are useful in their own circumstances, the most versatile and all-around useful is actually the higher handling gliders (you know, the ones you make out are useless) since you can increase your altitude with little speed, allowing you to take the rDDJ glider cut shroomless with very few coins, and making the rMG glider cut significantly easier. It's actually used in the WR on rMG too as it's arc for taking the cut allows you to take it tighter. The speed boost gained from the faster gliders is actually negligible in a race scenario even if you're a good player. The kart part mechanics would arguably be better if it was a shop-based system where you could spend the coins, but given that you get all of the random part unlocks extremely early on, there's no reason to complain. The reason people were picking courses you didn't like was because you decided very early on you disliked the game but continued to play regardless, it's not a reason to complain. MKW also had players spamming the most hated courses, it's no different.
I have to agree with you 100% I actually just picked up a copy of Mario kart 7 and when playing online... I find myself always picking Maple Treeway hahaha It's the best map on the game. Not to mention I get really bored of MK7 fast and end up going back to Mario kart wii... And now that I have heard about the character selection in Mario kart 8... come on... what are they thinking.
While I do agree with some points, like no vs mode and small character roster, I still think mario kart 7 is a great game. I still enjoy the wii version more, but that's what most people think. Also, I enjoy the one lap tracks. As you said, banana traps aren't as good, but I still think the idea and execution of it was great.
the new tracks are fine and very fun (better than MKWii) and the no lap courses are fun too! ur opinion though. i do agree with u about no VS mode in single player. thats my MAJOR problem with this game considering that i love the tracks.
Cont. lose stats in certain areas, but you understand what i mean. just combine different parts and you will get a good combo, I don't like not having a vs mode though, but other then that this game is way better then how you make it seem.
So you bash the Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu courses for being based on Wii Sports like... 30 seconds after you complained that too few of the courses are based on other games?
I agree with pretty much everything you said. I think that MK7 did EVERYTHING wrong and now the new games in the Mario Kart series will be contaminated with the terrible new features of that game. MKW will be the last perfect Mario Kart.
I can't disagree here. I HATE MK7 almost as much as Sticker Star. If this game didn't seem rushed, I'd like it. And your points are also valid. I mean there are so many things they could have done. More original characters. I want Waluigi, not Metal Mario! >_> A versus mode. I mean WTF? That's just lazy. And well I also hate the stat things since it serves basically no purpose whatsoever. All in all, I hate this game, and I would recommend either MKWii, DS or Double Dash since those games rule.
You're the first person I've heard to ever complain about my personal biggest complaint, the lack of single-player VS. mode. The replay factor is so low due to the fact that VS. mode got scrapped as once you've run the Grand Prix bone-dry, that's the end of that. The Battle modes were dull and the choices of maps were very poor, where the heck is Funky Stadium and Chain Chomp Roulette?! Balloon Battle was also a lot worse, I miss the way it worked in MKDS where once you died, it was game over. The character roster was also appalling. Of course there have to be constraints due to it being on a handheld, but if MKDS can create such an amazing and unpredictable roster - why couldn't MK7? The Honey Queen and Metal Mario were stupid, the Wiggler and Lakitu seemed odd and I'm sick of Rosalina! Shy Guy was the only good choice,for me, but even so they were in MKDS on Download Play so they aren't completely new! My final complaint comes from the kart customisation. It's a good idea in concept, but with gliders that didn't change stats and some wheels which were obviously way worse than others, there really was no point in customising your karts. Plus, unlocking a new set of wheels was hardly exciting anyway.
I still fail to understand how waluigi has his own STAGE but can't play as him
Time constraints, they originally planned to put him in the game but they rushed the release for the holidays
@@proreactor684 im just saying, there was no waliugi but their priority was honey queen and wiggler?? What???
snooty trash yeah ik, I’d much rather have Waluigi in the game over both

MK7 looks fun, but you do have some good points.
honey queen is a worse addition to the series than pink gold peach and you can fight me on that.
Anytime I'm around my computer I have a tab with my Email open all the time sense I'm a regular across different wikis.
I've played all the Mario kart games (besides super circuit) my favourite is mkwii. I love CTGP and the mechanics but Mk7 is great
Did you just say Wario’s Gold Mine was _fun?_ That one was impossible!
I do agree with you on almost every point. The Maka Wuhu tracks suck, the single player mode (no vs) sucks, the new characters suck, the blue shell tumble sucks, all the gliders suck.
But I'm very happy about the things I've seen of Mario Kart 8. All the 3DS tracks that are returning are exactly those tracks that were the best new ones from that game. Good review! Here, take my like!
Mario Kart 7 would be fine for me if it had single player VS Mode, good video.
Everything he said is right and I played the game during my childhood a lot... Dammit!
Both mk7 and mkw have their ups and downs, combine both of the positive things about them and make mk8 almost impossible to top (note I said ALMOST impossible)
The only thing I disliked about MK7 is that waluigi pinball is a retro track but waluigi isn't in the game
I just dislike the same stats,the lack of Vs Mode in Single Player,the Mii are only medium weight,the little roster and the boring battle mode
Good points you got except for the Gliders, the unlockable karts and courses
First of all, it's about personal preferences which Glider you use, there is no "Best", not even the Gold Glider is "The one" because that isn't made to gain heigth for mushroom-less shortcuts. All of them are used if you have a look online.
And about the Karts, the Golden one isn't just unlocked by 20.000 Coins, you can also get 10.000 online VR which is more fun and social with friends
And courses, not much different.
De-spell,Yugioh spell card.
I think MK7 is a good MK game despite having lack of content and new features, but I agree with most of the things you said even though I don't hate the game. Btw you forgot to mention that you can't use bikes like in MKW and you can't look backwards like in MKW
CTR > MK
U got that backwards.
Nope, CTR is way better than any Mario Kart.
Its not a fact. :/
Yes it is, Crash Team Racing has a better gameplay, better tracks and more balanced weapons.
So? Mario kart is what inspired ctr...so...yeah....
I think Mario Kart 7 is the best in the series. It brings back tons of stages I love and I thoroughly enjoy the new ones. The online is good and I really don't mind the random parts thing. Is it the best design choice? No but, it didn't bother me. Mario Kart Wii is fun but it's not amazing there's lots of imbalances and the tracks are to me as you feel about MK7
How could Mario kart have no vs mode !!! :(
I agree with this guy that you should be able to play your own grand prix and about vs. Mode.
they put VS mode in MKDS... they shouldve done a double check... also the fake item box. it aint in there.
so graphics make a game? lol
You are the only person i know who likes Wario's old mine
I havent bought the game and stuff but in my opinion the character choices are a bit... weird... Like not adding Waluigi (I dont like him at all, but he should have been in there) and I would actually like to play was the Honey Queen haha. The courses seem a lot of fun though, (havent played, just saw playthroughs). Your minor complaints and the fact they didnt include versus mode are bad though... I dont think im going to get it anymore now....
It just feels slow and whenever you’re hit by anything the game slows to a crawl.
It's just the lack of vs mode that pissed me off. However the game was challenging and fun overall so :/
MK7 improved a lot of glaring faults from MKW, hate to have to say it, but chances are if you liked MKW and not MK7, you were benefitting a lot from those faults. Maybe you just have no imagination and were fine using the one useful character from MKW, or you can't handle actual karts in a karting game. Honey Queen was still more of a character than Funky Kong or Metal Mario and atleast wasn't a reskin. All of the gliders are useful in their own circumstances, the most versatile and all-around useful is actually the higher handling gliders (you know, the ones you make out are useless) since you can increase your altitude with little speed, allowing you to take the rDDJ glider cut shroomless with very few coins, and making the rMG glider cut significantly easier. It's actually used in the WR on rMG too as it's arc for taking the cut allows you to take it tighter. The speed boost gained from the faster gliders is actually negligible in a race scenario even if you're a good player. The kart part mechanics would arguably be better if it was a shop-based system where you could spend the coins, but given that you get all of the random part unlocks extremely early on, there's no reason to complain. The reason people were picking courses you didn't like was because you decided very early on you disliked the game but continued to play regardless, it's not a reason to complain. MKW also had players spamming the most hated courses, it's no different.
I have to agree with you 100% I actually just picked up a copy of Mario kart 7 and when playing online... I find myself always picking Maple Treeway hahaha It's the best map on the game. Not to mention I get really bored of MK7 fast and end up going back to Mario kart wii... And now that I have heard about the character selection in Mario kart 8... come on... what are they thinking.
While I do agree with some points, like no vs mode and small character roster, I still think mario kart 7 is a great game. I still enjoy the wii version more, but that's what most people think. Also, I enjoy the one lap tracks. As you said, banana traps aren't as good, but I still think the idea and execution of it was great.
Mario kart 7 is really good and for the characters I love that they tried and I appreciate them trying
There's no update
the new tracks are fine and very fun (better than MKWii) and the no lap courses are fun too! ur opinion though. i do agree with u about no VS mode in single player. thats my MAJOR problem with this game considering that i love the tracks.
Cont. lose stats in certain areas, but you understand what i mean. just combine different parts and you will get a good combo, I don't like not having a vs mode though, but other then that this game is way better then how you make it seem.
So you bash the Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu courses for being based on Wii Sports like... 30 seconds after you complained that too few of the courses are based on other games?
The nostalgia I have for this is vid is ethereal holy shit
While I don't agree with most of the points here, this video was really entertaining. (also I know this video is about 6 years old)
Every Mario Kart game has sucked since Double Dash
My only complants with this game, no singleplayer VS. and yes, the 150cc and Mirror cup's rubberbanding AI.
I agree with pretty much everything you said. I think that MK7 did EVERYTHING wrong and now the new games in the Mario Kart series will be contaminated with the terrible new features of that game. MKW will be the last perfect Mario Kart.
I feel the console and portable Mario karts should be kept seperate when doing comparisons. It's two completely separete relms in my opinion.
I can't disagree here. I HATE MK7 almost as much as Sticker Star. If this game didn't seem rushed, I'd like it. And your points are also valid. I mean there are so many things they could have done. More original characters. I want Waluigi, not Metal Mario! >_> A versus mode. I mean WTF? That's just lazy. And well I also hate the stat things since it serves basically no purpose whatsoever. All in all, I hate this game, and I would recommend either MKWii, DS or Double Dash since those games rule.
I wonder what he thinks about MK8.
I think it was somewhere between OK and Good.
You're the first person I've heard to ever complain about my personal biggest complaint, the lack of single-player VS. mode. The replay factor is so low due to the fact that VS. mode got scrapped as once you've run the Grand Prix bone-dry, that's the end of that. The Battle modes were dull and the choices of maps were very poor, where the heck is Funky Stadium and Chain Chomp Roulette?! Balloon Battle was also a lot worse, I miss the way it worked in MKDS where once you died, it was game over.
The character roster was also appalling. Of course there have to be constraints due to it being on a handheld, but if MKDS can create such an amazing and unpredictable roster - why couldn't MK7? The Honey Queen and Metal Mario were stupid, the Wiggler and Lakitu seemed odd and I'm sick of Rosalina! Shy Guy was the only good choice,for me, but even so they were in MKDS on Download Play so they aren't completely new!
My final complaint comes from the kart customisation. It's a good idea in concept, but with gliders that didn't change stats and some wheels which were obviously way worse than others, there really was no point in customising your karts. Plus, unlocking a new set of wheels was hardly exciting anyway.
