Top 10 Reasons Why Mario Kart 7 Sucks

Mario kart 7 is a good game, but there were some problems in that game.
The Top Ten
1 The character roster

Hey, people, if you hate the Mario Kart 7 roster, you're being too damn picky because Shy Guy is still present and the baby clone characters are absent, so that is not a reason why Mario Kart 7 sucks. Quit complaining about Honey Queen and the lack of Bowser Jr. and Diddy Kong because Bowser Jr. got fired from the Mario Kart series. This reason was moronic and it should be off this list.

Shy Guy and Lakitu were fresh additions to the roster, but I wish Nintendo could've taken their time and added Waluigi, Dry Bones, and Diddy Kong to give a larger roster sacrifice and an accepted roster to decrease the Honey Queen hate level if the release date was delayed.

Nintendo didn't want to add Diddy Kong and Bowser Junior to the roster because they wanted to increase the character diversity in the roster. If you think a lack of Diddy Kong and Bowser Junior is pathetic, you're being a damn moron because Diddy Kong and Bowser Jr. are nothing but a lame copy.

Well the roster is still objectively better than all the pre-double dash mario kart game. Plus I would say that because of Shy Guy, Wiggler, Lakitu, and Koopa the roster is better than DS, which only has Waluigi, Dry Bones, and ROB that are there but not in 7.

2 The blooper

Why is this item STILL in the series? Nobody even has told that it obscures screen. At first, its very gross enemy. Second, it can go away fast. If you play with motion controls (FIRST PERSON) you can see the road still but only kart is blackened. Just only one squirt and your view is half of black ink.

This thing shouldn't ever have been in Mario Party 8. It's a dunce little squirt and it is ALREADY AN ITEM WHICH MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE Mario KART SERIES! Oh my god, come on Nintendo!

By that logic every Mario Kart games after double dash are bad. An item doesn't ruin the game.

These things still do nothing, and cost you the race if it's your last item.

3 Wii wheel controls

First person gameplay sucks because you can't really see the stage hazards in Neo Bowser City or any course.

I have a solution to that problem. Disactivate the motion controls. There is a reason it's an option. Plus, I don't think they are that bad.

You get a first person perspective but it defaults to wii wheel controls. And those controls suck.

You don't have to do first person racing so WHY are you complaining?

4 No vs mode?

Why is there no VS mode? There is NO good reason to explain this. Like the courses instead of battle arenas for balloon battle in 8. FIRE THE HEAD OF MK Nintendo, HE MUST HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM!

Ranking for Mario Kart 7:
Lack of emblems: (-1)
Lack of VS Mode: (-1)
Interesting courses: (+5)
No baby princesses: (+3)
Engrossing features: (+2)
It's slow as heck: (-6)
Newcomers seem quirky: (0)
Neo Bowser City: (-4)
So my overall ranking is 10-1-1+5+3+2-6-4=8/10.

Why is there no versus mode? If I wanted to play my favorite track In mkwii I just open vs and play it. But in mk7 you have to play the whole cup to play it.

Crappy game makes me fell like I've been totally ripped off

5 It's slow as heck

Lakitu or Honey Queen will make the Grand Prix job easier. So, take that reason off this list.

It's the slowest Mario kart in the franchise. 150cc feels like you drive 15 mph. I hate waiting 5 hours to finish a cup.

People say Honey Queen is hard to unlock, but they were happy after hearing this.

You need Lakitu/Shy Guy/Yoshi/Daisy/Honey Queen to make the task simple.

6 Overpowered combos and gaps

Gaps are when you take shortcuts shroom less with para gliders. And bdasher-red monster-para glider can go die, that combo is just so overused. And gaps break the game, maka wuhu Is a prime example

7 Terrible Mii voices

One thing about the Mii voices in Mario Kart 7 that irritates me the most is that no matter what the gender, height, and weight of the Mii, the voice will always be the same, high-pitched one, which gets annoying. I like games when Miis actually have different voices, like Mario Kart Wii(depends on gender, height and weight) and Tomodachi Life(depending on what voices you give them), and even ones when Miis don't have voices at all, like Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS and Wii U. I even changed Miis to see if the voices changed as I at first expected to happen, but it didn't. I mean, I'm fine with some games when Miis have the same voice, but not when it sounds too high-pitched, loud-ish, and annoying at the same time. This is definitely one of my least favorite things in this game.

Can't even play who I want to when my voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

This is the most true thing on this list!

Mii was a terrible idea at the start.

8 Item visibility

So I'm in 2nd place. Some guy slows down and I don't know why. Seconds later, a blue shell obliterates me. Why can you see other peoples items?

Mario kart 8 has that problem! Yea this is problem too in franchise but really?

At least the POW Block and Thunder Cloud didn't appear. They are trivial!

I think Item visibility is a good thing.

9 Overpowered items

A banana can send you into last place. Every item I'm this game was so nerfed a banana can end you.

10 Waluigi not appearing in this game

I hate this because you can play waluigi in Mario kart Double Dash, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario kart 8. So why not MK7?

They should have dropped Rosalina, Honey Queen, and Metal Mario for him

I would pick Honey Queen or Metal Mario over Waluigi any day.

Who cares he's not all that great in my opinion

The Contenders
11 Part unlock mechanic

Every 50-100 coins you get a random par- wait, RANDOM? It's a huge issue, that word. You always get the part you want last. And it sucks

12 Poor retro tracks

What the heck?! Some of my favorites like Waluigi Pinball, Coconut Mall and SNES rainbow road got in Mario kart 7 too!

If you Garfieldtop10s want to share your worst Mario kart courses go to Top 10 worst Mario kart courses. The creator is Berger.

They should've put Toad's Turnpike & Wario Stadium instead of Koopa Troopa Beach and Kalimari Desert.

So we got 2 from snes, 3 from n64, 1 from gba, 2 from gcn, 4 from ds and wii. And they picked all the boring ones (not including wii)

13 No Boo Item

Well the Boo item is really good, but it doesn't ruin the game.

The boo item is garbage

Its not in Wii either

14 The failed chance for there to be biker outfits

Well, maybe there is no bike because they were broken in Wii? I don't know.

I was so bummed when there was no bikes in this game

15 No fake item box

The fake item box sucks.

16 Princess Peach is in this game

Why is Princess Peach on every negative list about a Mario game? It's getting really annoying and it's not funny!

*Flashback of the death of my plushies, and the top 10 reasons why Super Mario Galaxy sucks*

No!

*Me crying in a corner, with my new plushies*

I will not kill you again!

It's a shame Peach replaced a female Kong like Dixie or Tiny.

Ha ha ha. Very funny.

17 The graphics are horrid

What I don't like about those graphics is that the characters are a bit cubic in places there should have been curves. 3d land came out arround the same time, and it's much better looking. Otherwise the game looks decent.

Not really, but what do you expect from a 3D 3DS game?! Sharp 2D graphics?! Go see NES Remix and Super Monkey Ball 3D (by a bit) if you want these types of graphics. I know, graphics don't make the game. Gameplay does.

18 No Story

I been thinkin'... you know how they had Mario Tennis: Power Tour for the GBA and how it wasn't just tennis but an actual RP game? They could do something like that for a new Mario Kart. It'd be a bold and risky move, and fans would either hugely dislike it or hugely like it. But hey, that's how you make a legendary game. Of course it would primarily be racing dominated, but I think some good examples are Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Diddy Kong racing was largely successful and got a DS remake. Nuts & Bolts did decently, and was only disliked because of its departure from the beloved platforming of B-K. So that risk did not work out well, but I think Mario Kart RP would, and if not, it's not like the series will die.

I would say, the series should have a story mode one day, but that's not a reason to dislike mario kart.

19 They ruined the Wii tracks

Well, Coconut Mall wasn't ruined. Mushroom Gorge is better thanks to the gliding mushroom. The other two are worst though.

Yeah, especially Koopa Cape! They removed the lightning!

20 Peach & Daisy's voices

I want to punch Princess Daisy in the face for how she was in Mario Kart 7: annoying, disgraceful, ugly, cowardly, etc...

Princesses Peach & Daisy both have very annoying voices in this game... WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THEM?! THEIR VOICES ARE HORRID AND ROSALINA HAS A WAY BETTER VOICE!

I like Rosalina's voice a lot better. Don't get pissed, please!

Don't tell me they're radical! They're awful!

21 Rosalina, Mario, Wario and Wiggler are the only decent playable characters

Wrong. Shy Guy, Lakitu, Mario, Honey Queen, Daisy, Rosalina, Luigi, and Yoshi are the only decent characters. LOL.

Don't forget about Koopa Troopa! Dry Bones was my go-to character, but Koopa Troopa is also good.

Then just play as them. Plus it is your opinion.

This isn't a fact

22 No Star Syncing

In Mario kart 8, if one completes a 150c.F. cup and gets 3 stars, the 3 stars automatically sync to 100 and 50cc

23 The stupid "Rival" mechanic

What's that? Your rival got a blue shell just before finishing and you red-shelled him for good measure? Nope, (s)he still comes in second.

24 Bad new tracks

Music Park sucks because Wii Music sucked. Plus, the wuhu courses do not make me say "WOO-HOO! " BOOM ROASTED!

Umm what ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Alpine pass, wuhu tracks, melody motorway... THE BEST TRACKS!

25 Metal Mario Metal Mario is a character that appears in both the Mario series and the Super Smash Bros, where he made his first appearance in the Nintendo 64 version. He's pretty similar to Mario when using a Metal Cap, but instead of being a transformation, Metal Mario is his own character.

You always find at least one metal mario in the online servers. I play as him for guilty pleasure and for irony purposes. Mario Kart Tour is mainly a remake of all the portable Mario Kart games, especially this game.

If your online you see at least 6 of him and they always pick SNES Rainbow Road and that course is overused and retarded

It's so stupid to watch when you go online. Then you should see at least 1 metal Mario in 10 matches, which puts usually SNES Rajnbow Road and Koopa City every time. I saw few matches where EVERYONE almost was metal Mario. I know he's cool but really setting things up! 😠 JUST ONE CHARACTER SO OVERRATED
