Mario Kart 7: Difference between revisions

|publisher=[[Nintendo]]<br>SEGA<br>Sonic Team

''Mario Kart 7'' includes 17 total drivers (eight starting drivers and nine unlockable drivers). New playable characters in this game include [[Metal Mario]], [[Wiggler]], [[Honey Queen]], and [[Lakitu]] (with a red shell as opposed to the Lakitu referee which wears a green shell), with Lakitu and Honey Queen also making their overall playable debuts. Additionally, this marks the first ''Mario Kart'' game where [[Shy Guy]] is a normal selectable driver, after only being available in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' to players who were playing in Download Play without a game card. Each driver is categorized into any of five weight classes: '''Feather''' being the lightest, followed by '''Light''', '''Medium''', '''Cruiser''', and finally '''Heavy'''. This and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' are the only games in the main ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series to have [[Wario]] as an unlockable character. This the only game in main ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series to have Ash Ketchum or any SEGA character. This, ''[[Mario Kart DS]] and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' are the only games in the main ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series to have [[Waluigi]] as an unlockable character. This, ''[[Mario Kart Wii]] and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' are the only games in the main ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series to have [[King Boo]] as an unlockable character.  The player's Mii never appears as a CPU driver, but Miis the player has obtained via StreetPass for this game's Mario Kart Channel can occasionally appear as a CPU driver during the standard Grand Prix mode.

Each character's rivals will always be the same; for example, Bowser will always appear in a Grand Prix if the player is playing as Mario. However, if a set character is supposed to be unlockable, the set character is replaced by a default character until the unlockable character can be used. That will make the default character a third rival that occasionally appears in the race. Wario does not have a third rival due to both of his main rivals being default characters; but Sonic, Billy Hatcher, Alex Kidd, Amigo, King Boo, Waluigi, Ash Ketchum, Ulala and Metal Sonic has no rivals.
