Exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS.
Info:
General:
- This game, like the previous two games, has 32 tracks total, including 16 new and 16 retro.
- Features new to the Mario Kart series include Gliding and Underwater driving.
- Time trials are in the game, however, you can race against up to 7 ghosts at a time now.
- Balloon Battle and Coin Runners return, both are free for all, this time.
- First person view is in the game, as are Gyro controls to go with it.
- Rather than having a set number of karts, they can be customized. All characters seem to be able to drive all kart combinations.
- 8 player local and online play is confirmed.
- Download play is also available for people who don't have the game. These players will be stuck playing as Shy Guy, as was the case in MKDS, however, all 32 courses will be selectable this time.
- Most online features will be very similar to Mario Kart Wii, such as the interface, and features like VR.
- Communities are a new feature for online play. By adding the code of a community, you may race anyone else from that community as though they were on your friends list. They may also include custom rules such as an item toggle.
- The Mario Kart channel returns for Streetpass and Spotpass.
- Spotpass is used to automatically download ghosts approximately equal to your skill level.
- Streetpass can be used to transfer records and ghosts, and allows you to race them when they're playing online.
- The CPU players will somehow be able to emulate your style of racing, according to the Iwata asks interview, this is likely going to be used with streetpass, where beating someone using an unlockable kart part will unlock that part for you.

Unnamed underground track - Seen in a single screenshot on the official site, very little is known about this track so far, but it seems to be based on the underground stages of Super Mario Bros.
Unnamed Wario track - Seen in Wario's character video on the official site, again, very little is known about this track so far.
Bowser's Castle - Seen in Bowser's character video on the official site, it seems to be a standard Bowser's Castle track similar to the ones in the previous three Mario Kart games. It should be noted that this may be the same track as the Unnamed Futuristic Track, as both sport Bowser Emblems, and have similar textures.

Karts:
Mario Kart 7 features a new Kart customization feature, you can pick 3 different parts for your kart from Body, Wheels and Glider. All 3 of these parts, plus your choice of character, contribute to the 5 stats of your vehicle; Speed, Acceleration, Weight, Handling and Off-Road. The B-Dasher Body, for example, grants a lot of speed, but little off-road, whereas the Monster Wheels give a lot of speed and offroad, but little acceleration and handling.
Nintendo has confirmed that kart pieces can either be unlocked with coins picked up in the races, or through streetpass.
Body
The karts body seems to contribute less to the stats than the wheels, but more than the gliders. The known body parts for the karts are as follows, with a quick description.
Standard - The standard Mario Kart, appears in different colors depending on the character.
Retro - Standard, but in the style used in Mario Kart 64, as with the standard, also appears in different colors depending on your character.

Bolt Buggy - A red pram kart.
