Retro-track related news!

N64 Koopa Troopa Beach is confirmed, as well as....

Wii Mushroom Gorge
Wii Coconut Mall
GCN Dino Dino Jungle
Wii Koopa Cape

That just leaves 2 unknown retro tracks....hoping for two Gamecube ones, myself.

Update!

GCN Daisy Cruiser has been confirmed as one of the last 2 retros!

If you check the game's Japanese web site, you can see clips of the first 3 new and first 3 retro cups!

Though one retro track still remains unknown, we can determine for the Special Cup, the missing tracks besides the BC and Rainbow Road are the DK jungle track which was one of the 3 demo ones, and this ice course which looks to be based off Super Mario Galaxy.

As for the new characters: Metal Mario, Lakitu (That thing that holds the starting signal), Wiggler, and Queen Bee.

I've got the game pre-ordered and I'll get it on December 4th when it comes out.

Can't wait to play it.

Man, the Gamefaqs MK7 board is going crazy over the fact Waluigi isn't in the game....sheesh, some people are saying they're not buying the game over that!

Petrie85 · **Reply #28 on:** November 19, 2011, 09:01:48 AM

Oh they're just whiny little babies. I will sill buy the game.. Because I don't care who is in the game.

All I can say is thank god he was taken out. He is the most ugly, annoying, pointless character that was ever introduced to a video game series.

Video playthroughs of the Star and Special Cups!

My thoughts:

Piranha Plant Slide looks really good.
Wario's Shipyard has an almost 90 degree angle section

Neo Bowser City looks nice, but kind of bland.
Maka Wuhu- intense!

the new Bowser Castle-looks like the toughest one yet.

The new Rainbow Road......it looks RELENTLESS.

so, rainbow road isn't a normal 3-lap course, but a really long course you only go though once? That's pretty interesting.

Mario Kart 7 looks great on the 3DS game system. In fact, Mario Kart veterans may notice the resemblance it shares with Mario Kart Wii. The 3DS continues to show us what its graphical capabilities can reach, and Mario Kart 7 is no exception. The race tracks are wonderfully detailed and have a terrific color palette. The tracks inspired, or are recreated, from Mario Kart games of the past are a treat to experience with the 3D feature enabled. Green shells, red shells, and banana peels whiz right before your eyes as you race to come in first place. The blooper’s (squid) ink also appears to blind you like never before. The feature is handled very cleverly and should not be neglected. If your eyes can handle the 3D effect, I suggest giving it a try.
Everything that makes a Mario game sound like a Mario game is jam packed into that small 3DS cartridge. All your favorite character’s whimsical sound effects, including their victory and defeat gestures haven’t loss their touch. It’s to be expected from a Mario Kart game, of course, but it’s all part of the complete package.

Players will be treated to a variety of the best Mario Kart tunes from games past, as well as a collection of new material inspired by the latest Mario games. Even a tune and race track inspired by Donkey Kong Country Returns can be spotted.

Why do feel like I'm reading an advertizement?

Waluigifan · **Reply #34 on:** December 19, 2011, 12:09:31 PM

They cut Waluigi from the game. :/ I am very disappointed.

However, they included some nice retro tracks.

By the way, this game is a collaboration with Retro Studios. Retro Studios was responsible for the course design and the retro tracks while Nintendo was responsible for the gameplay and physics.

I wonder who was responsible for the worst character roster in Mario history?

has anyone considered making a gof community in mk7 yet? that would definatly be the easiest way for all of us to play together.

Petrie85 · **Reply #36 on:** January 06, 2012, 08:18:43 AM

Yeah someone needs to make one right now. I joined my other forum community in Mario Kart 7.

Flathead770 · **Reply #37 on:** January 07, 2012, 06:23:43 AM

I took the liberty of creating the community myself. The code for it is 02-2205-0009-3053. Its set for 150cc and all items with a Yoshi icon since he is closest to a dinosaur as well as being awesome. I'll also post the code and my 3DS friend code in the gamers unite topic.
