Any idea what the "Lucky 7" item is? This is the first I have heard of that.


You gain 7 items but if you collide with something you lose all those items and take loads of damage. Here's a video to show you:

I think destructoid is too harsh to give this game a 5. I know this game doesn't innovate from its safety zone, but at least it is the only kart game on this system ,at least for now. But that's their opinion, so well....

There's a lot of outlier reviewers when it comes to games, with Uncharted 3 AV Club gave it 5/10 whilst most gave it over 8/10. 



Destructoid reviewer's reasoning was that it lacked innovation and it was more of the same, whilst Modern Warfare 3 did more of the same but did it well, so it didn't matter, gaining a generous 9. Double standards for the win... >_>

The only thing (well, together with the absence of Dry Bones) which bothers me is the blue shell...for months they showed it changed into the N64 type of blue shell, without wings, which hit everyone on his way. Just in the last two months it returned the Wii type one...which we all know how annoying is!


what? i was looking forward to the original blue shell

and is it official that the likes of dry bones and waluigi are not in this game or have they just not been annoucned yet

Honestly, I disagree too with Uncharted 3 get 5/10. When I see the score 5/10 or less, I think of unpolished game and full of critical bug. I don't think Uncharted 3 or Mario Kart 7 is that kind of game.....

In the end the new blue shell really works like the N64 one, it just hits you like the one from MKDS/Wii, but still hits the people on its way :D
