Top 10 Best Mario Kart 7 Tracks

The top 10 favorite courses from the racing game Mario Kart 7! Love this game! Best 3DS game ever. It brings us gliding and it brings us newer kart customization. It got a 9.0 on IGN!
The Top Ten
1 Rainbow Road

The first Rainbow Road that is divided by sections rather than laps. It's huge and makes for godly eye candy with the classic multicolored road. You also get to race on a moon, the rings of Saturn (I presume), and a giant rotating funnel. It's topped off with a barrage of star cannons and potato-shaped asteroids.

The music gives me a sense of pride, like all of my previous Mario Kart racing experiences have led up to this final moment on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 7.

2 Music Park

I love how you drive on pianos, glockenspiels, and even bounce off drums! The big music notes are pretty funny looking. The only reason it's only 9/10 is because you never get fired out of a trumpet, which would work the same as the cannon in Maple Treeway.

The turns are very fun, and they even play notes. I also like the cuteness of the giant music notes with the faces. They make a kind of evil grin when they stomp down, which is funny.

This is awesome! I like it because it is very unique. When you drive on the piano keys, they make music! It is a lot of fun to play on!

3 Rock Rock Mountain

I tried out Mario Kart 7 for a bit and got Rock Rock Mountain. It's awesome. It takes full advantage of gliding, and my favorite part is using the boost panels to get to the top while dodging boulders coming down. Amazing.

You have to play in first-person mode to avoid the pesky rocks in this track.

The music is awesome! And it's super fun!

4 Airship Fortress DS

YAY! Super Mario Bros. 3 is my favorite Mario game ever. This track is a brilliant tribute to that game's airship levels, and the design is fantastic. It's one of my favorite tracks of all time next to Waluigi Pinball. It's even more epic in Mario Kart 7!

This track is one of my two favorites from Mario Kart DS, the other being Tick Tock Clock. Also, at 100cc, when the front-running beat ends, it makes the soundtrack sound a lot better.

The music is great. I like replaying it a lot to listen to it.

5 Waluigi Pinball DS

I don't understand why they bring an awesome stage back but leave the character out of the game. Waluigi's stage is here, but he was replaced by characters like Honey Queen and Metal Mario.

This has got to be the best DS retro track because you are driving in a pinball machine, and the sounds are arcade-like! Amazing!

I love the graphics of Waluigi Pinball because it's just a big pinball course. I also like the ride as well.

6 Coconut Mall Wii

It would make perfect sense to put this track in Mario Kart 7 because that HUGE jump at the end would be perfect for gliding.

Banger music! You drive through a mall, up escalators, trick off fountains, and even take shortcuts through shops! 100/10. You just got Coconut Malled.

This track is a lot of fun. I love the amount of paths you can take in this track. I also really like the music.

7 Maple Treeway

I always loved this one, especially the part with the big wigglers. Now, Wiggler is a playable driver! 9/10. Also, it has banger music, and fall is the best season, so actually, 10/10.

Maple Treeway at #5? That is offensive. Forget Rainbow Road - this track is the boss. For about three weeks, I played only Maple Treeway on the Wii for about 8 hours a day.

When I saw Maple Treeway in Mario Kart 7, I thought I was hallucinating, but it was real. It's even better now with the gliding and only 8 racers. The shortcut is even better too.

8 Piranha Plant Slide

I just adore this track! It is the best track in the Star Cup by far. The Star Cup was my least favorite cup in the game because the other tracks weren't as good as the rest of the courses in the other cups, but this track is a timeless masterpiece!

It's set in the sewers, and you even go through a big warp pipe. This track has a Super Mario Bros. theme, and the soundtrack reminds me of it. The underground here is pretty blue. I have to say, the remake in MK8 is even better! It feels so much more real in that version.

9 Maka Wuhu

This is a cool track because I grew up playing the game where this track was inspired from, Wii Sports Resort. Also, who doesn't love gliding over a beach?

The shortcuts make this track different from the others. You always have to think about what route you're going to take before you take it.

It is a really great course. I love it when you have to glide such a long way and the shortcuts while driving. And it's so high up.

10 Neo Bowser City

I think the only reason people don't enjoy this more is because the turns are difficult to nail. When you've had as much practice as me at time trialing on the course, it just makes it that much more fun. Not to mention the great background soundtrack accompaniment. I'm so happy it returned in Mario Kart 8!

It's cool and all, being in the city and so detailed. However, that one rail-less turn before the long turn to the end where you jump off with the glider is so hard!

I really love this track for three reasons.

1. Once you get the track under your fingers, you will win almost every time.
2. I love the 180 turns and the moments when the rails disappear.
3. This track is also very hard when you use the slick tires because of the rain.

The Contenders
11 Shy Guy Bazaar

People look at this as being hard and long. It's not. I like the surprises in the barrels, like stars.

An excellent track for a great character.

12 Daisy Crusier GCN

I love the dining room part where you desperately scramble to get away from the tables and chairs. 10/10

Daisy Cruiser is so fun, and it was the very first race I played on MK7. Not just the best in MK7, but the best in all Mario Karts!

13 Koopa Cape

It's a very cool map. They updated it in MK7. When you are in the tube, thanks to the new underwater engine feature, there is no roof. I love this. It should've been number one.

14 Bowser's Castle
15 Rosalina's Ice World

I hated this track at first. Now, it is one of my favorites. You will hate this if you have bad handling.

16 Rainbow Road SNES

This course involves skill and is very quick to play on. I personally like it because I nearly broke the world record on this course. Still trying right now!

This is the best Rainbow Road. Its music really takes you somewhere the other Rainbow Roads didn't. Also, the simple design makes it all the more lovable.

Wow. I hated this course at first, but now it's the best course I've been on. This, Music Park, Piranha Plant Slide, and Daisy Cruiser are the best!

17 DK Jungle

Why is this so low? It kicks in some fun and is based off of DK Country Returns!

I just bought DK Country Returns! It is awesome! I love this course!

This one is great. Why is it so low?

18 Luigi's Mansion DS

The music! The design! The everything! Never overlook such a neat and detailed track! It really has a true Luigi's Mansion feel to it.

This track is nostalgic for me!

19 Wario's Galleon

Wario opened a shipyard! This track can sometimes be challenging and should have been in Mario Kart 8.

This course moves quickly as you go. In Grand Prix, there is a chance to get mushrooms and stars out of barrels.

Wario's Galleon has a neat concept, such as riding up a half-sunken Wario ship. It should be higher!

20 Wuhu Loop

It fits the Mii character theme.

21 Daisy Hills

So simple yet incredible! There may be goats in the way sometimes, but there is a killer shortcut on this course that can turn you from 5th to 1st in a matter of seconds. Truly awesome!

It's simple, but it has plenty of awesome shortcuts that involve the gliding feature. And must I mention the music?

Such a beautiful stage, complete with bizarre, yet enchanting music.

22 GCN Dino Dino Jungle

Why is this so low? I've dreamt of a Mario kart track like thus and it came true. It seems Ike you are in. The past.

This was one of the all-time best!

23 Mushroom Gorge

Only at #23? Bouncy mushrooms, awesome shortcut, and risky cave. It's an awesome feature in the game. King of the mushrooms! Even N64 Luigi Raceway was ranked higher than this, and that track is rubbish.

24 N64 Koopa Beach

Welcome to the beach! This course returns from the N64 with a lot of variety. This is a true winner!

The original Mario Kart 64 version of Koopa Beach gets 10/10 stars.

The Mario Kart 7 version gets 4/10 stars.

25 Toad Circuit

Killer awesome! First course in this incredible game! I learned how to hanglide here! It's awesome!
