Mario Kart 7 swerves its way to the Nintendo 3DS

OVER ALL RATING 8.0

Super Mario 3D Land wasn't the
only game that brought back the
tanooki tail.
Mario Kart is one of my favorite video games. So when I heard that there was going to be a Mario Kart 7 coming to the 3DS, I was really exited. The purpose of the game is this: win the race. There are many playable characters such as the queen bee from Super Mario Galaxy and Metal Mario. This game being the 7th Mario Kart game in the series (hence the name) still has many courses from the older Mario Kart games, such as Rainbow Road from super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo, and new courses such as wuhu loop. You can also win gold stars as achievements. If you achieve a minimum of one star for each cup in each prix, you get one star next to your name. If you get 2 stars on every cup, you get 2 stars next to your name, and so forth. The game also takes advantage of gyro control. Players must switch to first person mode though to use gyro. If you use gyro 80% of the time you will get a gold wheel next to your name (it takes a long time, believe me, it took me 3 months to earn mine!). The internet races and battles are one of the highlights of the game. You can play online with people all over the world or you can play ghost races to try to beat other peoples time.
The Queen Bee was later
arrested for murder.

In conclusion, Mario Kart 7 is a wonderful game.  If you don't have it I highly recommend you get it.

as you can tell by this picture.
The courses in the game are absolutely
stunning.
Oh one more thing, the date for the first episode of The Nintendo Bible Show has been moved. It will either be coming out Tuesday or Wednesday. Thank you all for your patience.
