Mario Kart 7 Retro Track Comparison

The 3DS has the best graphics in my view so far!
This will be the last Mario Kart 7 video that I will be posting. Overall this was an ok game. It was a downstep in comparison to the DS and Wii version due to no versus mode and the insainly long time it took to unlock kart parts. Hopefully they fixed that issue in Mario Kart 8! I still had a great time with this game and I highly recommend it!
Please enjoy!

[@flipflopnerd4759]

To me it has by far the best choice of retro tracks, but at the same time it seems too good, they took the best from each game, but didn’t leave enough of the fan favourites for future games.

I wished that Mario Kart 7 has VS Mode. It has such an amazing track selection. I would’ve played the hell out of it if it included VS Mode in the first place. I think Mario Kart 7 needs a deluxe version on the Switch with HD graphics, Waluigi added, and VS Mode.

I agree with you! Mario kart seven should absolutely have a versus mode.

[@eukarya_]

@@selinaogorman8380 I prefer when they make the retro tracks actually feel like new tracks because sometimes that's what the original developers intentions. One example is Ribbon Road from GBA, in its mugshot you can see a floating ribbon road like the want we got in MK8, in the original this was imposible due to hardware limitations.

While I really like the selection of retro tracks in Mario Kart 7, I think retro track representation is very unbalanced. GBA only got one course, whereas DS and Wii got 4.

[@elijahtorres2688]

They should’ve added a bit more GBA courses, so that way, some of the Wii courses would’ve been saved for MK8. But then again, they probably wanted to save the best GBA courses for MK8 to receive dramatic remakes.

[@TheStubbzy]

@@elijahtorres2688 That's true. The Cheese Land and Ribbon Road remakes turned out brilliant.

[@Arkhamman2023]

Every new Mario Kart game always take 4 tracks from the previous instalment. So Mario Kart 7 having 4 Wii tracks makes sense.

[@jakebarton2528]

@@Arkhamman2023 but in Mario Kart 8 N64 got 4 tracks while the others didn’t (at first)

[@comfy88338]

DS had 4 from each, which is fair and consistent. But due to Wii having to fit in DS tracks, they had to cut some SNES and GBA ones out which is understandable as those tracks are usually flat and boring compared to the tracks in later games. 7 brought back 4 from DS and Wii, which made people think that there was some sort of pattern with the retro tracks, Nintendo had to make room for Wii tracks, so another GBA track was cut, alongside an N64 and 2 GCN tracks. Mario Kart 8 completely ignored that old pattern, and despite Wii and 7 being the two most recent predecessors, they only got 2 and 3 tracks respectively, at least before the original DLC came out. Nintendo used to care more about consistency with what retro tracks were chosen, now they just add whatever they feel like, whether it's a fan favourite or a random dud to throw everyone off.

[@BendonPC]

Well, here is my personal opinion on the 3DS Wii retros: Mushroom Gorge: Only one that was improved as a track, but it was more fun on the Wii 8/10 Coconut Mall: Ruined, the colors look better but all the life was sucked out of the original 3/10 Koopa Cave: Not ruined to be honest, the pipe section is still pretty cool, but it was better on the Wii both Gameplay and Track wise 7/10 Maple Treeway: Same level as the Wii honestly, and in my opinion it actually plays better on the 3DS 8/10
