MARIO KART 7

Now I'm on a roll about these games. although Mario Kart 7 only lets you unlock people in 150_cc

you can get parts for your kart by collecting coins. It really is that simple! This leads us to one of many things that's new about this game and makes it different from Mario's other racers. Collecting coins allows someone to raise their top speed a little, and every second counts. there is also a new number of modes, like the new ability to glide on special parts of the course. Naturally, since it was such a big hit in the Wii version, Nintendo gave new life to gyro controls. If, and it's a big if, you decide that you want to use the first-person control mode ( by pressing up on the control pads) you can use gyro controls. There are three new items in Mario Kart 7 that are new. first is the fire flower, that lets you shoot fireballs at your opponents. second is the tanooki tail, witch lets people send shells flying in a random direction.third is the lucky 7, witch gives the person using it a red shell, green shell, star, bomb-omb, blooper, banana, and a mushroom. note: the blue shell has gotten a lot scarier, with no wings, any car it hits will be wiped out.

Mario Kart DS

This game is a great game in the Mario Kart series. As the first game in the series to include online game play, you're allowed to play with friends who don't have a game card. there are also numerous power-ups new to the DS. The newest mode is mission mode, a mode exclusive to the DS version. in this mode you will have to do quests, including diving backwards off a bridge and not falling off to beating someone in a race. there is also one boss in each "world" to defeat. Other than beating the Grand Prix, there is still a lot to do in the game. You can always go on rainbow road, (okay, not always, but some of the time) the hardest track in the game. The thing I'd wish that Nintendo did to this game would be to make it so that you can't snake (drifting to get boosts on freeways) online. Probably the best thing you could do is to only play with your friends that don't snake (I have a friend that snakes, I don't know about you) or just deal with it. If you snake I'm begging you, please stop snaking! Not is it annoying, it prevents other people (if they don't snake) from having a chance of winning! If you really have to snake, then do it on your own, where people don't have to worry about you cheating them. I promise you that it is almost as cheap as using an Action Replay! If even that doesn't make you stop, then consider the fact that people will look down on you if you snake, even if you do win. They might not race against you again, if they don't like snaking. Now I should get back to business, and stop protesting against people snaking (that doesn't make it any better, though.) I also would like to say that this IS the first Mario kart game to let you play against friends wirelessly.I'm so nice, I'll give you a video. Nice, huh? ( If you have a 3DS then you  should wait for Mario Kart 7.)
