Because this game will be released in Europe before America, we use European names. Those are the rules.

| | ::''Save it for the forum'' is indeed not an insult. Many people make mistakes on what belongs on the talk page and what on the forum.

| | THEY'RE LOCKING VS INTO MULTIPLAYER?! DO NOT WANT!!!!!!! Seriously, single player VS is the main reason I play Mario Kart. And that's because I don't have very many friends. But forcing solo players to either do a set of races, a solo race or no race at all is just OVERKILL! Come on Nintendo! The lack of single player VS may have been acceptable in 1992, but, well, it's 2011 now. Racing games have moved on, AND SO SHOULD YOU!

| | CoolTom1337, because VS. mode is not available in Single Player doesn't directly mean Battle mode isn't in Single Player mode.

| Hey! I do agree with ''koopa killer'', what he said is right- they '''DO''' Give you a bosst once you collect 10 coins, and I also know that they do not effect your score in the end like on Mario kart Super Circuit. You can use them to buy Karts, tires, and Gliders as well. There aren't many obstacles in the air or underwater, so the coin floating underwater give a good thing to while you are floating in the water. Plus, they are fun to collect!

| Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.

Has anyone else noticed this? --[[User:SinnohMasterGalaxy|SinnohMasterGalaxy]] 16:44, 9 December 2011 (EST)
| |
| :yeah that happened to me too! [[User:Mastergiygas|Mastergiygas]] 15:39, 1 January 2012 (EST)
| |
| It hasn't happened with me, but maybe I have a conclusion. Maybe it is that since the player unlocks Lakitu and Metal Mario by beating the Nitro and Retro cups respectively, whatever cup you beat, Special or Lightning, you will get one of the aformentined characters and because of that, the Mii is blocked from being unlocked. So the Mii is unlocked by beating 50 or 100cc only and not 150.

| What is a Music Thwomp? Is it those giant Music Notes in Music Park or what are they?{{User:YoshiGo99/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| Yes, Music Thwomps are those in Music Park although I think their name is conjectural. I personally would just call them giant notes. [[User:JORDANDEBONO]]
| |
|
| |
| The name of the notes are "Bouncing Notes"! as said in Prima's Guide ,[[User:MarioFan900]]
| |
|
| |
| I think once I become autoconfirmed I should make an article about them.

| == Official Guide Stats ==
| |
|
| |
| I picked up the official guide from Prima the other day and it lists loads of hidden character/kart stats that the game doesn't display: Speed (Sea), Speed (Sky), Handling (Sea), Handling (Sky), Mini-Turbo, Stability, and Drift. Every single item and character has hidden stats of this nature. Also, the whole idea that the Standard parts have zero in every stat and that every other part simply adds or subtracts from that is very incorrect and obviously based on guesswork (though I can't blame the guys who came up with it given the lack of proper in-game stat listings). I considered that maybe the guide is massively flawed and working off of a very old beta somehow, but the guide itself mentions that these stats are hidden in-game.
| |
|
| |
| Before I used the guide I used this wiki as the primary stat list for building karts and now I feel like I was sorely misled. I know I'm a new user, so I'm asking here for the go-ahead before I go and post up all the official stats. I really think it would help a lot of people make better decisions; a lot of kart parts specialize in things like sea/air handling or speed, but the game doesn't show that at all. Not to mention very important stats like drift being hidden. [[User:Shugo|Shugo]] 01:35, 11 December 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| :Yeah, I suggest you wait for a go-ahead. I'm no expert when it comes to this wiki, but confirmation seems ideal.
| |
|
| |
| :Also, if I remember, Prima is considered unreliable by some people, I forget the details on that. [[User:Lord Grammaticus|Lord Grammaticus]] 03:08, 11 December 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| ::That's mainly because they state incorrect/made up facts about characters and secrets in games. I think the underwater/flying speed just depends on your cart build. [[User:Dark Gamer|Dark Gamer]] 10:06, 11 December 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| :::So far, karts I've tested based on the stats I've gathered from the guide seem to match what the guide says. For example, karts built based on the hidden drift stat that display a poor 'handling' rating in-game give me extreme control over my drift handling while my handling during regular driving is terrible, much like how it worked in Mario Kart Wii. Another example: the guide lists some gliders (Super, Beast, Gold) as giving a LOT of speed specifically while being in the sky (which is actually the advantage to using those gliders; they don't just shift weight a little bit like it says in-game), and I've found that that to be true in-game even though the in-game 'speed' stat for the karts I built to test with were abysmal. I really see no reason to doubt the guide. [[User:Shugo|Shugo]] 21:47, 11 December 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| The sources that I've gathered from the ''Mario Kart Wii'' forums are more reliable, and more accurate as well; the NTSC-U version of ''Mario Kart 7'' displays each kart's stats in "Divisible by 0.25" intervals, with 6 being the maximum. However, what we have inputted for Golden Standard (Gold Kart) seems a bit skeptical in my eyes, since the -0.5 off-road boost is too low for a kart part. Hopefully, someone will get the correct stat boosts for that kart part. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 12:58, 11 December 2011 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| Mechawave inputted the hidden stats onto the article, but I'm still heavily skeptical with those hidden stats, especially with the [[Cact-X]]. The hidden stats claim that the Cact-X weakens off-road when the in-game source states that it boosts off-road. Can someone actually confirm this stuff? If so, please say so below this message. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 08:07, 31 December 2011 (EST)
| |
| :It was an accident. Reading all the stats is really hard, I made a few mistakes transferring the numbers. By the way, the reason why Gold Kart gives off such a huge off-road hinder is because of its stability boost (which not many parts have.) --[[User:Mechawave|Mechawave]] 19:26, 2 January 2012 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| I have made some calculations, and it seems that the hidden stats are true ! Here is the sheet : http://sephirothff7.free.fr/MK7/Hidden_Stats.ods [[User:Sentmoraap|Sentmoraap]] 20:59, 1 Jaunary 2012 (GMT)
| |
|
| |
| Regarding the stat chart listed here, would it not be much easier to follow if it was listed in terms of a base of 0/6 rather than being relative to the stats of an all-standard setup, with other kart parts adding or subtracting to that total? The idea of it being relative to the standard parts can get kind of unreasonably confusing when trying to figure out specific values. Back when I was writing a stat calculator, I used http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/997822-mario-kart-7/faqs/63500 this as a base, which admittedly was hard to interpret for listing the stats out of 6, but it assumes that each weight class/kart part adds to a base of 0.5/6 instead of subtracting and adding from the standard karts, and is verifiably accurate as far as the five visible stats are concerned. This would make it so instead of having a mix of positive and negative stats, you'd have all positives. Also, as for the stats listed here at the moment, the Ghastly Glider is listed as giving a higher Sky Speed than the Super/Gold gliders, which as far as I'm aware isn't possible; the Super/Gold gliders will max out Speed (Sky) at 5.5/6 in some combos, and no stat in any category ever exceeds 5.5/6, which would happen if the Ghastly Glider did in fact have a higher Sky Speed. -[[User:MajorasMask9|MajorasMask9]] 11:36, 3 January 2012 (EST)
| |
| :The table that Sentmoraap inputted is very confusing to understand, as it does not treat "6" as the unit maximum, and the table that MajorasMask9 inputted is no different. If those tables' units were out of "6", it would be much easier to understand the stat boosts; the NTSC-U ''Mario Kart 7'' stats are divisible by 0.25, and have 6 as the maximum number; 0.25*4=1. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 13:46, 5 January 2012 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| ::That list will work out to be out of 6 with some extra calculations; not sure why they put the list up there the way they did. For example, to find the stat boost for an individual weight class, you'd take the number given for the weight class and divide it by 4. For the kart parts, you'd take the number and divide it by 2. After adding all of the numbers for a combination together, 0.5 is added to the total (which is why I'd just add 0.5 to the weight classes' stats for less confusion), and that gives you the proper stat boost out of 6. [[User:MajorasMask9|MajorasMask9]] 09:35, 6 January 2012 (EST)
| |
| :::It's still confusing, considering that the kart parts aren't using negative variables. Obviously, the characters themselves don't have negative stats, since they're the ones that determine your combo's stats if your combo uses only the standard parts. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 08:16, 7 January 2012 (EST)
| |
| ::::[http://bin.smwcentral.net/u/5196/stats.png bin.smwcentral.net/u/5196/stats] Is it still confusing? All you need to do is add the numbers for your combination together; no negative numbers involved. [[User:MajorasMask9|MajorasMask9]] 12:21, 7 January 2012 (EST)
| |
| :::::It's better now. Just add the weight class stats with the standard part stats (Standard (Kart); Standard (Wheels); Super Glider) to get the default stats for each class. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 12:51, 7 January 2012 (EST)
| |
| :::::On second thought, some things are wrong. I inputted the Bowser + Gold Standard + Standard + Super Glider combo, and the list states that the land speed is 4.25, when it's actually supposed to be 4.5. Also, from the sources I've read, the Gold Standard has the worst off-road boost among all the kart bodies. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 13:03, 7 January 2012 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| :::::I just tried out Bowser/Gold Standard/Standard/Super Glider on my game, and it comes out to 4.25 speed. Offroad is 3.25.

| Hi, I made a kart calculator in excel with the mario wiki stats. I think it is very usefull for me and my friends. If you want to check out this watch my video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KAAxcctpNU But I currently updated this version a lot. Soon I will upload the new full english version. The new version has got no longer the 4 mistakes about the gold kart and the glider. It is more compact and contains a few more things that are very useful for your bike costumation. Just have a look at it. If you like this can you please add the new video url (ill post it tomorrow) under the chart? (the current version is not so good, but also very usefull) Please give me a feedback. I will tell you for my final version. (hopefully tomorrow){{unsigned|NicoHood}}

| == Ghastly/Beast Glider Unlocking Criteria ==
| |
|
| |
| So, I had unlocked all the parts via coin collecting, almost. I still had the Soda Jet, B Dasher, Swooper, Beast Glider and Gold parts to unlock. However, I Streetpassed with a guy who had the Soda Jet part, and beat him in a Grand Prix, thus unlocking this kart. I continued collecting coins, but when I got to 4500, I unlocked the Beast Glider! I think that it's not at a set amount. I currently have 4693 coins and I have the Beast Glider. I think that the maximum coins to unlock the Beast Glider is 5000, but it goes down each time you Streetpass. We should probably change that in the article.

| The article states that the Beast Glider (Ghastly Glider) is unlockable by obtaining 5,000 coins. IT'S WRONG. The Prima guide states that all kart bodies, tires and gliders (with the exeption of the Gold ones) are unlocked randomly by reaching certain amounts of total coins. It HAS to be fixed.

|
| |
| Oh sorry! If that's true... another reason the guides are unreliable! It does not mention this in the Secret Gliders section, nor does the secrets checklist, on Beast Glider it says "Collect coins from Grand Prix cups" not "Collect 5,000 coins from Grand Prix cups."

| == Rival System? ==
| |
|
| |
| I have noticed that when I play a grand prix with a certain character, certain other characters are always present and start at a very high position in the starting race, and continue to do well and have strong AI during the races. More telling than this is the fact that these characters usually have something to do with the character I am playing as. I am beginning to think that this is deliberate in some way. Has anyone else noticed this?
| |
| For example, I play primarily with Princess Daisy. Every grand prix I play, without fail, Princess Peach starts out in first place, and Wario also appears. One of them will do well in the Grand Prix, and the other will be a strong contender, yet they both appear every time.
| |
| I'll list a few examples I've noticed.
| |
|
| |
| Daisy: Peach, Wario
| |
|
| |
| Luigi: Mario, Daisy
| |
|
| |
| Rosalina: Peach, Honey Queen
| |
|
| |
| Mario: Bowser, Metal Mario
| |
|
| |
| Has anyone else noticed this? Could this be a rival system? --[[User:PionpiMii|PionpiMii]] 01:22, 1 February 2012 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| Yes I have noticed. It could be a rival system because the same happens in battle mode. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
| |
| :There definitely is a rival system in this game. The first two opponents are always two certain characters if you play by yourself. I think we should put that somewhere. {{User:BabyLuigiOnFire/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| View the following Rivals Guide to know which characters are typically the ones who rival your character; [http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/997822-mario-kart-7/faqs/63569 <nowiki>http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/997822-mario-kart-7/faqs/63569</nowiki>]. {{User:M&SG/sig}} 08:15, 3 February 2012 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| The rival system is different from Mario Kart 64 though. 2 certain characters are almost always in for the character you chose, but they're not always in second and third. I played it using a Mii and only Metal Mario was close behind me and Bowser wasn't. We should also include that the rival system is different from Mario Kart 64. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| I think one for [[Metal Mario]] is [[Wiggler]]. He got second in a recent Grand Prix I palyed, only after me. I was then playing as Metal Mario, so it could be that Wiggler is one of Metal Mario's "rivals". But I don't remember the second... -[[User:'Shroom64|'Shroom64: The Mushroomeditor]]
| |
|
| |
| A good way to check out all the character's rivals is go to battle mode and keep chosing each character at least 3 times. Each time the same 2 character repeatedly appear for a certain character. {{User:Tails777/sig}}

I then went to the 150cc to go unlock all the characters...but when I finished the 150cc class, I never received my Mii. Did I do something wrong, or does it only work for a certain class?

| == I think that the Stability and Drift stats don't exist. ==
| |
| Today, a few hours ago, I tested: Shy Guy + Soda Jet + Sponge Tires + Paraglider VS Shy Guy + Soda Jet + Slim + Paraglider. Both combination were compared on SNES Mario Circuit 2 on the first 3 turns. I noticed that despite that both tires share the same Speed, Off-Road and Drift, I drift sharper with the Slim tires than the Sponge Tires. After that, I tested Slim VS Wood while keeping all other selections the same. I drifted sharper with the Wood tires than the Slim tires, simply because the Wood tires have lower Speed. This totally provides that how sharp you drift in MK7 depends on your Speed and Handling (the lower the Speed and the higher the Handling, the sharper you drift) and that the Drift stat does NOT exist in this game at all. Same goes to MK8 too, as I noticed that I drift sharper with lower Speed and higher Handling. Stability doesn't seem to affect anything in my opinion, every vehicle looks perfectly stable, no matter what you choose. I KNOW some bodies look worse with different tires but in MK8, we have some tires and bodies from MK7 back, like the Monster tires, yet some bodies like the B Dasher look exactly the same as in MK7 in appearance. This is the biggest reason why I think the Stability stat doesn't exists. So overall, I think the Stability and Drift stats don't exist at all and most people were too lazy to find out if they TRULY exist. But I found out the truth and I want to see who agrees with me or not. [[User:Sarantis|Sarantis]] ([[User talk:Sarantis|talk]]) 14:42, 24 November 2015 (EST)
| |
| :I think you're not looking at the correct spot, since karts don't really show their stability when they're drifting on dry land, and stability doesn't influence how sharp a drift is. I view stability as how much your kart tilts when drifting. Try testing the drifts underwater; karts on Monster Tires tilt way more than those on roller tires, if I recall correctly, so I think it might be harder to swerve around, especially underwater. Can't say what drifts do, but I think I know where stability comes in. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 02:09, 25 November 2015 (EST)
| |
| ::The Drift stat definitely doesn't exists in MK7, since like I said before, how sharp your drift is depends on your speed and handling (the lower the speed and the higher the handling, the sharper you'll drift). And where does the stability stat come from? [[User:Sarantis|Sarantis]] ([[User talk:Sarantis|talk]]) 07:46, 25 November 2015 (EST)
| |
| :::EDIT: Just done the tests for sure on Wario Shipyard underwater, yet I see tires with different stability tilting the same. Again, I still don't think that the stability and drift stats exist in MK7. Tilting definitely has to do with handling, as the higher the handling, the better you tilt.

| |
| ::::Those stats are in the PRIMA guide, in the "Characters" and "Kart Assembly" sections, so they are official. The problem is that there is likely a translation mistake, as the effect of stability has nothing to do with actual stability, according to many reports it has to do with steering. By the way, your test is probably flawed, as there is likely more than one factor that affects how tight you turn, you should have chosen instead the same vehicle setup but two different characters such as Peach and Toad that have the same Handling but different Drift and you should have tested the angular velocity while drifting (time needed to complete a 360° turn).--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:41, 25 November 2015 (EST)
| |
| :::::In the end, the in-game stats [http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_7_drivers%27_and_parts%27_statistics have been discovered]; indeed the Stability and Drift stats exist, but their actual name is ''TireFeeling'' and ''DriftStart'', with the latter having only a single in-game stat, ''OuterSlip''. The name was effectively misleading, as in ''Mario Kart Wii'' Drift was mostly proportional to the angular velocity while drifting, while Stability seems more on point.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:58, 6 November 2016 (EST)

| == Tournaments? ==
| |
| OK I don't know where to post this but I had this idea: Mario Kart WII had "tournaments" going on, but somewhere in 2014 they quitted with those tournaments. And in Mario Kart 7, you can create "Communities", in which you can race with others who got the code of your community. I wondered if someone (I don't know who) could organize a tournament or championship, which means someone makes a community and shares the code with anyone who wants to join. The tournament or community lasts for exactly a week after it has been created. Whoever has the most points, would win pride and fame for Mario Kart 7! (or something else I dunno) Couldn't they organize some championships? Or are there already tournaments in the form of communities???

When a racer gets a Spiny Shell, continue racing until you hear a warning sound. When heard, fall off the course. The Spiny Shell will continue to go around to course, but the warning sound will continue to play. {{User|108.6.253.32}}

| == Water physics are different between third-person view and first-person view. ==
| |
|
| |
| Something strange I found while playing TT on Rosalina's Ice World. I wanted to see how much time is needed to complete 3 laps by only holding A. The ghost got saved because I never played TT on this track before. Then I decided to do it again, but in first-person view this time. As soon as I reached the underwater section, me and my ghost started taking different routes! I dunno what gets changed exactly, but this is a thing. I'm adding this to the Wiki right now, along with several other well-known trivias. - [[User:GoldMario777|GoldMario777]]
| |
| :Being perfectly consistent in Time Trials is pretty much impossible, furthermore you added no visual proof of what you said, so until you add the proof, this consideration about water physics has to be removed.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 07:18, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
| |
| I'm sure I was perfectly consistent, I did it twice with both third-person view and first-person view, the only input being A held down, from start to end (I have gyro-controls off), and I got the exact same time between runs that use the same view. I'm going to work on the video proof soon. - [[User:GoldMario777|GoldMario777]]
| |
|
| |
| Okay, so while making the video proof (you can watch it here[https://youtu.be/g6NkpLB0xwg]), I figured out I was wrong, water physics aren't different between view modes, but Rosalina's Ice World's ice ramp's physics does. It may be caused by a shrink of the hitbox in first-person view, but I doubt it since the runs would have desynced right at the beginning if it was the case. - [[User:GoldMario777|GoldMario777]]
| |
| :I did a quick look, and that's definitely interesting. I think you should check how much reproducible the test is doing more iterations without changing from first person view to third person view and vice versa - in Mario Kart 8 too collisions in the broadest sense, including interactions with non-flat surfaces, can have some bugs, but at the moment I didn't test that aspect much. One of those bugs is affecting GCN Yoshi Circuit, in the Piranha Plants section, and results in the vehicle sometimes not jumping despite taking a small ramp because in the matter of a single frame it becomes parallel to the surface - if you look at the video frame by frame you clearly see the bug. Since the MK8 engine appears to be based in part on the MK7 engine, I think we must first ensure that one of those collisions bugs isn't happening.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 20:19, 9 July 2016 (EDT)

| |
| :Third rival refers to the character present when the unlockable rival isn’t unlocked. It’s not referring to a character who occasionally starts in the third place position.

| No I mean the third rival always start in third place if present. For example if Mario third rival Peach occasionally appears when Metal Mario is unlocked, she will always starts in third place right?

If each character had a third rival that ''always'' appeared, that'd be different, but if it's occasional, it's not really worth mentioning. So in the case of Wario's third rival, it's not who starts in the third position, it's the character who takes the place of the currently locked rival for that character. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
