I think it's crazy how ambitious the game was while also being rushed, and the final product still turned out really amazing. The driving mechanics are so extremely satisfying, there aren't many games that can compete with that
@@FortunAdlaich except that there is a VS mode, but only on multiplayer. I don't know why they didn't added it in singleplayer, but I don't think it was because it was "rushed"
In 7 one of my favorite characters is definitely wiggler. I just really like how wiggler is the only character that has a unique reaction to being hit with an item.
I think it makes more sense for 64 and Double Dash to have no single player VS mode since those games were made for multiplayer. Handheld games are usually moreso focused on single player which is why single player VS was kinda needed for Mario Kart 7
I suppose, but I don't think VS mode was necessary since in previous entries the VS mode had way too many options, thus very confusing, whereas just loading up a grand prix is easier.
Happy new year everyone! Hope you enjoy the more detailed dialogue cutscenes in this video. This is by far, my favourite video I've been working on, and I hope you all enjoy the surprise I put at the very end of this video! Once again, happy new year and thank you for a wonderful year!✌
I think the whole reason 7 is so overlooked is since 8 came after it, so people overlook that some of the features in 8 not in Wii were introduced in 7.
This is quite true, I've heard someone say something along the lines of "Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is essentially Mario Kart 7 done 100% right" and I kind of agree with that saying.
Mario Kart 7 suffers from what I’d call “Smash 4 syndrome”, like, is it technically more polished than a lot of the older games in the series? Yes, but the older games still had considerable unique elements that didn’t return in the series again, while most of what previously made 7 unique from the rest was just put into 8 anyway when it came out (but I do have to wonder if 8 Deluxe will suffer from “Smash 4 syndrome” too when Mario Kart 10 inevitably becomes a thing) Brings up questions of nostalgia goggles (no newer game’s been as good as this old one) vs. recency bias (new game replaces old one because better graphics, more characters, tracks/stages, new game has most of the mechanics of the older game included anyway, things from the older games the new game doesn’t have aren’t that big of a deal)
@@jomaq9233 personally, I don’t think Mario Kart 7 on the whole is better then Wii, but it’s way better than DS, since tricking, gliding, and underwater sections all exist and improve on the retros immensely, DS’s retros we’re horrible since their “improvements” made the track worse. 7 itself has a lack of content issue and the lack of VS mode but besides that, there’s no full on issues with the game, at all. Wii also somewhat suffers from this lack of content largely due to how horrible its Battle Mode is due to forced time limits, forced vehicles, and generally bad gameplay in general. I personally think 8 Deluxe is the best due to large amounts of content, but if we exclude the amount of content, then Double Dash would be my favourite, since it’s the most solid overall, with (for the most part) great tracks and a great battle mode. Recency bias isn’t really a thing, since apparently people care about the amount of content the game offers, which is why, objectively, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best, but I disagree with that. As someone who grew up playing Mario Kart 7 and Wii at the same time, I can say that the general quality of tracks (mostly retros) is better in 7, whilst Wii has memorable, but largely not special tracks, unless we talk about their track themes, atmosphere, and music.
This game is so overlooked that I’m surprised no one talks about the track selection. I think this game has the best retro track selection (that is, while we still have only the first half of the Booster Course Pass lol)
i grew up with this game (along side mkwii). there are so many unique tracks in this game. my favs have to be shy guy bazaar, the wuhu tracks, rosalina’s ice world, and even music park!! even if the character selection is weird, the game has a special place in my heart
The retro cup was just something else it had bangers like Coconut Mall, Waluigi Pinball, Maple Treeway, Koopa Cape, Airship Fortress, and SNES Rainbow Road
@@Flynnwhite93 Yeah because Nintendo loves to just remake the same Wii tracks instead of remaking Toad's Factory, Moonview Highway, Dry Dry Ruins, and more, when said tracks are good and deserve to be remade. Also Airship Fortress may not be added since some think Delfino Square may be added instead, which I think is kind of likely since it was last recreated in Wii.
I really don't agree when people say "there's no reason to play 7 because 8 exists". yeah, 8 has every mechanic 7 had but 7 executed them a lot better imo.
Holy moly! That's a gift for my new year! Just seeing the title makes me happy since it's my favorite Mario Kart too, I simply love replaying it whenever I can. A review of the game that I and many people can't get tired of. Have a wonderful new year Albert, your content gave me a lot of joy this year.
I feel like the lack of a vs mode is especially a bad thing for 7 is bc this is a handheld mario kart. it kinda needs a vs mode for when ur on a road trip or some. thats why super circuit had quick run, to play any track on the go. while 64 and double dash are home console, plus u do get a vs mode if u got two controllers. Here? ya need 2 systems just to unlock it. So i do personally think a lack of a vs mode is especially a hinderance here
this game literally has Coconut Mall, Airship Fortress, Daiay Cruiser, Waluigi Pinball, Koopa Cape, Maple Treeway, Mushroom Gorge, Luigis Mansion, Dino Dino Jungle and Shy Guy Bazaar, and no one talks about it. whenever you see people make requests for the Booster Course Pass, it's just people wanting 8 to become 7
Probably the best selection of retro tracks… but also lol, I think after the Booster Course Pass brings back a lot of 7 retros, it’s ironically going to make some people forget about 7 even more
As someone who loves MK7 to death and would also defend it, I think the thing with the VS mode here compared to the earlier games is that VS mode hadn't been established by the time we got games like 64 and Double Dash, unlike 7, where the two preceding games had it (because trust me, I get frustrated going back to those earlier games and being stuck only with time trials as well). That said, the track selection and gameplay has always made up for that for me and I think MK7 is still amazing
This game makes me realize how much it opposes Mario Kart DS DS: -1P VS mode -Waluigi -Ruined Remakes -No Drift needed -Water Makes you Slower -Stellar Battle Mode -Poor Soundtrack (Aside from the tracks that have never been remade) -Great N64 Remakes -Shock Dodges in Cannons -Mission Mode -Made by Nintendo MK7 -No 1P VS mode -No Waluigi -Remakes are fan-favorites -Drift is necessary -Water has no consequence -Poor Battle Mode -Soundtrack is executed well (aside from Credits theme) -N64 remakes are sub-par -Glider prevents shock-dodges in cannon -No Mission Mode -Made by Retro Studios (Bertil Auris would oppose and say the title screen and 12 nitro tracks were made by Nintendo) Honestly, if Super Circuit didn’t exist, this would be my favorite Mario Kart game of all time, This game along with Super Circuit makes my Top 10 favorite games of all time.
Mario kart 7 is just a game to chill, I play Mario kart 8 and wii and get angry but with DS and 7 it’s just a calm relaxing game and I just wish people appreciate Mario kart 7. The only complaint it gets it’s rainbow road these days. Anyway happy new year Albert boriNG (jk) 💛 stay safe out there and I hope your 2023 is good 💛
I feel like a big reason for Mario Kart 7 getting flack for the lack of a single player versus mode is because by that point Wii and DS kind of set the standard to have one. Plus 8 had one so it’s just kind of weird that 7 never had one
I have a lot of nostalgia for mk7, this was my first Mario kart and I have lots of fond memories. While I do think the amount of content and just the graphical upgrade and gameplay makes Mario kart 8 deluxe significantly better, mk7 was revolutionary for the franchise, and gliding was much more fun in it.
Thanks for the fantastic vids this year have a great new year 🎉 Also what a way to end the year with one of my most favorite games as a kid thanks so much
I always felt like I was the only one who loves Mario kart 7 and finally someone talks about the good things that the game does. One thing that I hate when people say about this game is that it added nothing to the series. Like come on your telling me that Glider Underwater And 1 lap tracks are nothing to the series? Without those Mount Wario and big Blue wouldn't exist. But I liked your review of this game. Sorry about that mini rant there.
Another thing is that anything new 7 added was hated on by DS and Wii fans because essentially "this game doens't have something I grew up with (bikes, certain items, VS mode) so I hate it!" and also because "this game added something that I didn't grow up with (gliding/underwater sections, certain items) so I hate it!" which are both stupid logics.
@@sevenoxia7199 I'm a DS fan, but I like 7 as well. DS was my first game, 7 being second. I still need to get the Gold Standard Kart in 7. Got the wheels, got the glider, got ALL the characters in the non-modded game, it's just the Gold Standard Kart.
@@sevenoxia7199 I mean, how would you feel if it was the other way around, and Wii had gliding/underwater sections, and 7’s items, but no bikes or vs mode, and 7 introduced bikes, Wii and DS’s items, and brought back vs. mode but cut gliding and underwater sections? Would the newer game still be better than the older game then? (And the people complaining about the lack of gliding and underwater sections in this alternate timeline would just be nostalgia blind and complaining about how this thing from their childhood isn’t there anymore, I guess)
Well, it’s more like most of the new things it introduced to the series… got brought back in 8 anyway, so why even bother going back to 7 if 8 is “just a better version of 7”. Double Dash has the double-character mechanic and very precise controls DS has the most viable snaking, mission mode, and emblem customization, Wii has bonkers item balancing and wheelies, and 8 has antigravity (and spin-boosting as a result), live-recorded music, and ATVs What exactly does 7 have that’s unique to it and only it?
I do think 7 is really good, Lack of vs barely mattered to me since I always just play online whenever I come back to it! My favorite part is definitely the retros, SO MANY GOOD TRACKS!
Mk7 is my second favorite because 3DS rainbow road was added to MK8. Mk7 was a banger and the first one i actually owned myself. Mk7's nitros don't miss, and mk8 only picked the best ones as retros (aside from the wii sports tracks but yk)
Happy New Year Albert Boris! I’m glad your channel has seen growth, as for MarioKart 7 I can never decide whether I love or hate this game. It’s the closest to MarioKart 8 gameplay wise but I’ve always hated the physics, it feels floaty and unresponsive and I much prefer the tighter controls of MarioKart 8 and especially the extreme sport feel of Wii. The track selection is definitely a redeeming factor though.
I never noticed how small your channel is, ive been watching a lot of your mario kart videos whenever they pop up in my recommended feed and i wouldve thought you wouldve atleast had 100k with the quality of your videos
I sure do agree with you that this game is underrated. I sure do feel like the gameplay is very smooth and crisp, and that the track selection is great i this game!
CTGP-7 basically fixes every common complaint about 7 minus the bikes. One could make the argument it's better than 8 deluxe from a gameplay perspective.
I have some nostalgia for this game too so i love it My dad found a broken 3ds xl once at a second hand shop and the system worked, but touch didn’t work. It had mario kart 7 preinstalled so i played the heck out of it
Not my favorite installment in the series, but still a damn good one. The main thing holding it back is the lack of a VS mode. (and yes, it’s important for me because it’s such a downgrade from MKWii) If you love Rainbow Road but hate every other track in the Special Cup, you have to go through them to play RR with bots. However, it has really great nitro courses, like Daisy Hills, Shy Guy Bazaar, Wuhu Loop, Melody Motorway (yeah I like this name better), Piranha Plant Slide, Wario Shipyard, or Maka Wuhu. The retros have duds, but there are also good retro tracks, like Tour Boston Building, DS Waluigi Pinball, GCN Daisy Cruiser, GCN Dino Dino Jungle, or DS Airship Fortress. However, the battle mode music is one of the worst OST in the Mario Kart franchise.
I think the overall track ranking of Mario Kart 7 is the highest quality in any of the entire Kart series, period. It really is too bad there is VS mode in conventional gameplay. Otherwise it's a really fun and underrated game.
I have so much nostalgia for 7... One of my favorite games of all time, and for good reason. Only thing missing is a VS. mode, and that's my biggest gripe with the game.
Glad you made this video, I always thought this game was Top 5 in the Mario Kart series, yet people usually see this game as mediocre 7 is just is a lot more polished and has way better tracks than DS imo
For real, DS has *BABY PARK* out of ALL of the tracks they could have chosen! When 7 has really good tracks like the Rainbow Road, the Wuhu tracks and things for retro like Waluigi Pinball (a good DS course but no Waluigi) and Airship Fortress (ANOTHER DS track).
I still emulate this on my new phone to this day, my brother took the 3ds when he moved, but thats fine, bought since i was able to buy a new phone with good emulation abilites, and i can even play my old favorite gamecube games and ps2 games, but mk7 was my favorite childhood game
I didn't grow up with this game. I grew up mario kart ds (the 2nd best mario kart game behind mario kart 8 deluxe) but i still think people over look this game. On of the best track selections, great inivations, and a ok battle mode
Completely agree! Definitely the best track selection with a great soundtrack. However, I would say Super Circuit is more overlooked. It's one of my favorites, and I can assure you I have no nostalgia for it.
YEEESSS!! I'm so happy to see this finally release! Mario Kart 7 is not just an amazing Mario Kart game, but also an amazing game in general. It's my 4th favorite MK title, it has arguably my fav set of Nitros (only Mushroom, Flower, Star, and Special cups), and it has my favorite track of all time in Neo Bowser City! The wait was totally worth it, and the interactions between you Bertil are always fun. What a great way to end off 2022 :)
My Mario Kart Rankings: (not including double dash or super circuit since I never played those) 6. Super Mario Kart 5. Mario Kart 64 4. Mario Kart 7 (its still good) 3. Mario Kart DS 2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 1. Mario Kart Wii
I love Mario Kart 8 but there's one thing I just can't get used to... the way it controls. I never had any complaint when I played 7 though. but 8 just feels really slippery or heavy in comparison. Those might not be the exact terms I'm looking for, but I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I've heard complaints about the way gliding works now, but I have more problems just that... one major thing which is the reason I never play battle mode anymore is that you can't turn easily around in place (by holding brake and gas at the same time) anymore. I got too used to that. One good thing about 8 deluxe though is the purple sparks like you said. Also I quite like auto acceleration
Calling ds a bad game just becouse of it's courses is not a good argument, since you don't need to play the bad courses more than once and only play your favorites in vs mode, the battle mode is actually good and you can play it offline, it's mission mode gives you things to do in single player other than just replaying the regular tracks over and over. I hope I didn't wrote anything wrong since english isn't my main language 😅
Well Albert did go over his review on DS why the game was AVERAGE (not bad) due to features 1. Courses: Well, they simply don't shine here and are boring, like Tick Tock Clock, Cheep Cheep Beach, Yoshi Falls (which just sucks in general), Shroom Ridge, DK Pass, and Wario Stadium. Figure-8 Circuit just sucks in general (probably the worst opening track in history), along with Desert Hills, and some tracks being overrated, like Waluigi Pinball. 2. Battle Mode: It's alright, but eh? Some tracks just again don't feel like they work well with DS limitations. 3. Retro Courses (i forgor before): Yeah they suck, like you're telling me Baby Park was a necessary priority to bring back immediately? No way you can say that, and literally all the GCN tracks are worse than their original, and SNES/GBA don't improve at all, with unmemorable tracks from these games, and the N64 tracks have small improvement, in my humble opinion (and probably many others) retros should have been saved for Wii. 4. Mission Mode: it's forgettable, that's all. The missions are boring as all hell and you really don't remember any at all, but to add to this, Wii had tournaments which were way better and basically missions done mostly right. So yeah, that's literally it.
@@sevenoxia7199 did you played trough mission mode? Becouse I did and trying to get a good ranking was really fun. In the review he might not have said that the game was bad, but in this video, he said many times he thinks the game is bad.
From the way you talked about a lot of the Mario Kart Wii, I honestly thought that one would have been your favorite. As for my opinion on Mario Kart 7, it's not one of my favorites but I have to agree that it is definitely underrated and overlooked.
Mario Kart DS had online and mission mode and waluigi and a battle mode where you can play with CPU’s and Mario kart 7 had waluigi pinball but not waluigi and he was replaced by honey queen and wiggler Mario kart 7 was my first Mario kart game and was the first to have gliders and the lucky 7 which will turn to the lucky 8 in Mario kart 8
I loved Mario Kart 7 it was my favorite Mario Kart game ever since I had it in 2018, but now i care about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and It's Booster Course Pass.
I think it's crazy how ambitious the game was while also being rushed, and the final product still turned out really amazing. The driving mechanics are so extremely satisfying, there aren't many games that can compete with that
Definitely!
Wait, the game was rushed? Explains the lack of bikes and VS mode
@@FortunAdlaich except that there is a VS mode, but only on multiplayer. I don't know why they didn't added it in singleplayer, but I don't think it was because it was "rushed"
I'm very nostalgic for this game, and honestly I never realised this one introduced proper underwater swimming as well!
I remember playing it with my friends at daycare in elementary school and on the bus in middle school.
They also added gliding and section tracks
In 7 one of my favorite characters is definitely wiggler.
I just really like how wiggler is the only character that has a unique reaction to being hit with an item.
Wiggler was always a character I liked to play as a lot as well, right next to Honey Queen!
@@AlbertBorisboth characters are cool and overhated
I think it makes more sense for 64 and Double Dash to have no single player VS mode since those games were made for multiplayer. Handheld games are usually moreso focused on single player which is why single player VS was kinda needed for Mario Kart 7
I suppose, but I don't think VS mode was necessary since in previous entries the VS mode had way too many options, thus very confusing, whereas just loading up a grand prix is easier.
I don't think double dash is that multiplayer based, I mean the game can barely handle vs mode to the point they had to strip down track designs
Happy new year everyone! Hope you enjoy the more detailed dialogue cutscenes in this video. This is by far, my favourite video I've been working on, and I hope you all enjoy the surprise I put at the very end of this video! Once again, happy new year and thank you for a wonderful year!✌
thanks man! But btw the video is only in 360p?
thanks
Thanks, happy new year for you two!
It was always my own favorite too. I only wish the MK8DX DLC could add more of its courses and the retro courses chosen for it.
Yeah! I loved the video! One of my favorites from you tbh and I hope you had a great new year!

MK7
-No 1P VS mode
-No Waluigi
-Remakes are fan-favorites
-Drift is necessary
-Water has no consequence
-Poor Battle Mode
-Soundtrack is executed well (aside from Credits theme)
-N64 remakes are sub-par
-Glider prevents shock-dodges in cannon
-No Mission Mode
-Made by Retro Studios (Bertil Auris would oppose and say the title screen and 12 nitro tracks were made by Nintendo)

Is Great to See People Making Mario Kart 7 Videos Again I wish People are Still Playing This Game Online
I sure do agree with you that this game is underrated. I sure do feel like the gameplay is very smooth and crisp, and that the track selection is great i this game!
15:31 moments before disaster
14:07 because with those games, all you needed was a second controller, with 7 you need an entire second 3DS to access it
Even though this isn’t my number 1 mario kart game that goes to wii this is my second favorite Mario kart game
I got MK7 for chrismas and i had been playing it over tour and 8
7:08 who was that person playing as yoshi lol
Now that..., is an excellent question lol
Happy New Year!!! I love the end of this video
CTGP-7 basically fixes every common complaint about 7 minus the bikes. One could make the argument it's better than 8 deluxe from a gameplay perspective.
Thanks for all the great videos, Albert. Hope 2023 is even better for you.
By the way, epitome is pronounced "ee-pit-oh-mee"
Good video man!
I have some nostalgia for this game too so i love it
My dad found a broken 3ds xl once at a second hand shop and the system worked, but touch didn’t work. It had mario kart 7 preinstalled so i played the heck out of it
7:24 Look! Snowe is playing Terreia!
The online multiplayer in this one is such a weird experience. You see noobs, pros, Yoshies that have 0 Vr and of course Hackers
Fun fact: if this game would have vs mode and Waluigi this would be the best Mario kart b'y far.
good video man and happy new year! will u do a mario kart 8 deluxe ranking cups with the dlc?
Once the entire Booster Course Pass has been released, I'm thinking of doing the cup ranking for that game as well!
@@AlbertBorisor u can do this without the dlc
I happy to see someone else finds this their favorite this has always been a classic since childhood
great video!
this game was my childhood on the 3ds
Not my favorite installment in the series, but still a damn good one.
The main thing holding it back is the lack of a VS mode. (and yes, it’s important for me because it’s such a downgrade from MKWii)
If you love Rainbow Road but hate every other track in the Special Cup, you have to go through them to play RR with bots.
However, it has really great nitro courses, like Daisy Hills, Shy Guy Bazaar, Wuhu Loop, Melody Motorway (yeah I like this name better), Piranha Plant Slide, Wario Shipyard, or Maka Wuhu.
The retros have duds, but there are also good retro tracks, like Tour Boston Building, DS Waluigi Pinball, GCN Daisy Cruiser, GCN Dino Dino Jungle, or DS Airship Fortress.
However, the battle mode music is one of the worst OST in the Mario Kart franchise.
I think the overall track ranking of Mario Kart 7 is the highest quality in any of the entire Kart series, period.
It really is too bad there is VS mode in conventional gameplay. Otherwise it's a really fun and underrated game.
I have so much nostalgia for 7... One of my favorite games of all time, and for good reason. Only thing missing is a VS. mode, and that's my biggest gripe with the game.
While I don’t think it’s the best, it is an extremely underrated game
Happy new year
Great video albert boris 👍
This was my first portable Mario kart
I’ve been wanting 2 charge up my 3ds so I can play this
I think the main issue people have with MK7’s lack of VS mode is that they much feel it’s a downgrade compared to MKWii.
Glad you made this video, I always thought this game was Top 5 in the Mario Kart series, yet people usually see this game as mediocre
7 is just is a lot more polished and has way better tracks than DS imo
For real, DS has *BABY PARK* out of ALL of the tracks they could have chosen! When 7 has really good tracks like the Rainbow Road, the Wuhu tracks and things for retro like Waluigi Pinball (a good DS course but no Waluigi) and Airship Fortress (ANOTHER DS track).
Bertin Boris is a prablem
happy new year
4:36 YOU TAKE THAT THE FUCK BACK, DOUBLE DASH'S MENU THEME IS FUCKING AMAZING! /lh
I still emulate this on my new phone to this day, my brother took the 3ds when he moved, but thats fine, bought since i was able to buy a new phone with good emulation abilites, and i can even play my old favorite gamecube games and ps2 games, but mk7 was my favorite childhood game
8 Deluxe is my favorite, but I’ll always adore Mario Kart 7
I have been waiting 8 months the video you ranking every mario party board
I didn't grow up with this game. I grew up mario kart ds (the 2nd best mario kart game behind mario kart 8 deluxe) but i still think people over look this game. On of the best track selections, great inivations, and a ok battle mode
7:08 who's that goofy guy playing as yoshi
that may or may not have been me..
@@Mettaton4394 hehe yea ik I can forsee the future
i loved this game when i was a kid, great video albert👍
This game is underrated but it has 3DS Rainbow Road
THANK YOU FOR HAVING MY SAME OPINION MARIO KART 7 WAS AN UNDERRATED GEM
10/10 I have played that game before it is so good
Besides clones, MK8 also had the Koopalings, who aren't really clones of Bowser Jr.
It is underated! Good courses and mechanics.
It’s insane how i was in the MK7 speedrun community
This game honestly was good. It brought beautiful stages and nice mechanics. I do miss playing it.
Completely agree! Definitely the best track selection with a great soundtrack. However, I would say Super Circuit is more overlooked. It's one of my favorites, and I can assure you I have no nostalgia for it.
It's been said a billion times but vs mode is essential for a handheld game with the best track selection, before bcp wave 3
YEEESSS!! I'm so happy to see this finally release! Mario Kart 7 is not just an amazing Mario Kart game, but also an amazing game in general. It's my 4th favorite MK title, it has arguably my fav set of Nitros (only Mushroom, Flower, Star, and Special cups), and it has my favorite track of all time in Neo Bowser City! The wait was totally worth it, and the interactions between you Bertil are always fun. What a great way to end off 2022 :)
My Mario Kart Rankings: (not including double dash or super circuit since I never played those)
6. Super Mario Kart
5. Mario Kart 64
4. Mario Kart 7 (its still good)
3. Mario Kart DS
2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
1. Mario Kart Wii
I love Mario Kart 8 but there's one thing I just can't get used to... the way it controls. I never had any complaint when I played 7 though. but 8 just feels really slippery or heavy in comparison. Those might not be the exact terms I'm looking for, but I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I've heard complaints about the way gliding works now, but I have more problems just that... one major thing which is the reason I never play battle mode anymore is that you can't turn easily around in place (by holding brake and gas at the same time) anymore. I got too used to that. One good thing about 8 deluxe though is the purple sparks like you said. Also I quite like auto acceleration
i never even realised how small this chanel was, figured at had atleast 50k subs
I don’t get why people hate MK7, maybe because of Toad Circuit
This is probably my favorite mario kart, then wii, then 8DX. I DONT EVEN OWN WII AND 7. That’s how good they are.
Wii was always my favorite
Calling ds a bad game just becouse of it's courses is not a good argument, since you don't need to play the bad courses more than once and only play your favorites in vs mode, the battle mode is actually good and you can play it offline, it's mission mode gives you things to do in single player other than just replaying the regular tracks over and over. I hope I didn't wrote anything wrong since english isn't my main language 😅
Well Albert did go over his review on DS why the game was AVERAGE (not bad) due to features
1. Courses: Well, they simply don't shine here and are boring, like Tick Tock Clock, Cheep Cheep Beach, Yoshi Falls (which just sucks in general), Shroom Ridge, DK Pass, and Wario Stadium. Figure-8 Circuit just sucks in general (probably the worst opening track in history), along with Desert Hills, and some tracks being overrated, like Waluigi Pinball.
2. Battle Mode: It's alright, but eh? Some tracks just again don't feel like they work well with DS limitations.
3. Retro Courses (i forgor before): Yeah they suck, like you're telling me Baby Park was a necessary priority to bring back immediately? No way you can say that, and literally all the GCN tracks are worse than their original, and SNES/GBA don't improve at all, with unmemorable tracks from these games, and the N64 tracks have small improvement, in my humble opinion (and probably many others) retros should have been saved for Wii.
4. Mission Mode: it's forgettable, that's all. The missions are boring as all hell and you really don't remember any at all, but to add to this, Wii had tournaments which were way better and basically missions done mostly right.
So yeah, that's literally it.
@@sevenoxia7199 did you played trough mission mode? Becouse I did and trying to get a good ranking was really fun. In the review he might not have said that the game was bad, but in this video, he said many times he thinks the game is bad.
I said the game was kinda bad in comparison to other installments. On it's own, it's more on the mediocre side.
@@sevenoxia7199 I’ll say that DS battle mode is way better than 3DS battle mode though
very cool
One of my favorite mario karts I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that it's great :)
Mario Kart 7 is also my favourite
Albert is the G.O.A.T. 🔥
From the way you talked about a lot of the Mario Kart Wii, I honestly thought that one would have been your favorite. As for my opinion on Mario Kart 7, it's not one of my favorites but I have to agree that it is definitely underrated and overlooked.
Well it's definitely my most nostalgic Mario Kart, although whenever I go back to it, I realize why I always preferred Mario Kart 7 lol
@@AlbertBorisYeah I guess that makes sense
@@AlbertBoris the real question is why you prefer Mario Kart 7 to 8 though
Woah.. Albert evolved and gained the ability to move his mouth!
It does unfortunately require extensive stamina 😭
@@AlbertBoris lol
Mario Kart DS had online and mission mode and waluigi and a battle mode where you can play with CPU’s and Mario kart 7 had waluigi pinball but not waluigi and he was replaced by honey queen and wiggler
Mario kart 7 was my first Mario kart game and was the first to have gliders and the lucky 7 which will turn to the lucky 8 in Mario kart 8
Could you rank all the characters from worst to best
I loved Mario Kart 7 it was my favorite Mario Kart game ever since I had it in 2018, but now i care about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and It's Booster Course Pass.
I hope I make in time one of your videos
The title says it all, W opinion
17:13 I actually found this funny😂
