I would have played the games tons online whether there was anything to unlock or not.
On the subject of the grind.
"Mario Kart 7, Nintendo decided to make truly customizable vehicles. It went beyond the weight-class system of Mario Kart Wii to unlocking parts by, primarily, collecting Coins. Most races will also usually take about two minutes to four minutes, depending upon what happens in the track and its length. Mathematically put, you could have (20,000 / 7 * 2 / 60) hours of gameplay to (20,000 / 5 * 4 / 60) hours, depending on your own skill and ability to maintain these totals. (For the record, that is 95.2 ~ 266.6 hours, which averages out at around 175 hours.) By earning all 15,000 of those Coins, you'll have finally earned the majority of the kart parts for the customization process."
95.2 - 226.6 hours to get enough coins to unlock all/most kart pieces in Mario Kart 7. Good job they didn't have microtransactions, thats much longer than Crash.
We could have had a much more fun experience if Nintendo hadn't decided to purposefully make it such a ridiculous grind to unlock kart parts.
