The Handicapper General distributes the items, giving lead racers the crappy items (a tiny banana peel that you can drop on the track in hopes that someone will at some point be dumb enough to drive over it) and the racers in the back get shitkicker death cannons. You have to use items to attack them and defend yourself. You can't simply outrace the pack of Mario characters through the 32 different cartoon courses.
#Mario kart 7 3ds best kart series
The Mario Kart series may appear at first blush to be racing games, but in fact they are a carefully crafted videogame version of Harrison Bergeron. This has resulted in a Mario Kart more tuned to our sensibilities, which is just as well since Tillie can barely see the 3-D graphics what with her glaucoma.

So this time, "playing it safe" means embracing the early-adopter hardcore gamers. (She and her 28 million friends say I was wrong to dislike it.)īut nowadays Tillie is too busy playing another round of Pissed-Off Parakeets on her iPhone 4S to bother buying a 3DS.

Now, when Nintendo played it safe with the Wii version, it crafted something amenable to the console's fan base: a madcap fun-for-all in which anyone including your triplegic maiden aunt Tillie had an equal chance of winning the race. So the development team generally plays it safe, as is the case with this 3DS installment, to be released on December 4. Any other publisher would put out one of these every year Nintendo does one per console and then sells it for half a decade.
