Mario Kart 7 - another round of new info
Oct 21, 2011 by RawmeatCowboy

  • eight Grand Prix cups
  • first-person mode doesn't show hands on the steering wheel
  • shift in/out of first person by pressing up/down on the d-pad
  • steer with Slide Pad or gyroscope
  • no way to turn off gyroscope controls for first-person view
  • jumping off the top of ramps once again lets you do a trick
  • Tanooki tail will spin as your propeller when driving underwater
  • game limits you to a maximum of ten coins
  • single-card play returns, but forces every other player to drive a Shy Guy and a default kart
  • “racer card” only keeps track of a finite amount of communities
  • community codes are 14 digits long
  • beat a Mii you StreetPassed with to gain new parts for your kart
  • download up to seven ghosts at a time
  • download up to 20 ghosts a day
  • Community leaderboards in the game will also show information from recent races

Nintendo told us there wouldn't be any more game-based friend codes, yet here we are with Mario Kart 7 and it's "community codes".

Thanks for lying to us Nintendo.

They're the codes you need to join a clan. Like one of the mods make the nintendolife community and they post the code in the site for tournaments and game nights.

WAT!

it's not the code i would need to race with specific people i've got already on my Friend List, though, right? i've got no problems with special codes for specific events organized by outside sources, it's casual matches against buddies that needed to be drastically simplified IMO.

So it's just like a friend code then. Again, Nintendo said we'd only have 1 friend code per 3DS system. Having to input another 14-digit code just to enter a clan is ridiculous. Can't Nintendo do it the easy way with friend invites?

We can only have 100 people on a given friend list, though, right? What happens when your clan is 150 strong, or your event night winds up attracting 150 people? We can't group our friends on the 3DS, so it's not like we'll be able to set certain friends to this clan or that clan according to which game we're playing, i don't think...? idk, i'd need more details than a list of features, lol.

I think using a set code for large or organized events is probably gonna be the best way to go, whether it's user chosen or random characters. it avoids the problem of having to make sure all users in a given race have each other friended so that no one is left out because they forgot to friend someone; everyone has chosen to input the code themselves to join.

I don't think you have to be friends with everyone in the group. That would be highly impractical. I am pretty jazzed about the groups features. A passcode to join makes sense, though invites would have been simpler.

Come on, friends,

According to Iwata Asks, you can be part of 8 groups at a time. Each needs a special code. This actually convenient because you can just post it to a message board and everyone input the same code. No big deal. MUCH simpler than having a huge FC thread where 8 or more players need to exchange codes with everyone. Can be done for a weekend tournament or a more permanent group, whatever. You do not need to be friends with people in the group.

Can't wait to start a Kart group with you guys. You day one, Adam? I can't join 'til Christmas (3D Land/Skyward Sword and life will keep me occupied), sadly.

For the record I didn't say "So". You're making me look bad, man.

Day one, of course. If you have the choice, you should seriously consider waiting on Mario or Zelda and getting MK7 sooner instead. How many single-player games can you play at once? I think you'd divide your time better between MK7 and one of the other two.

I'll join come the 25th, when my copy comes my way

Yeah, like others have said it's really not like friend codes at all. Also, they haven't anything about a limit to the number of people who can join a community so I'd assume for the moment there is none.

Anyways, there is a "streetpass vs" online mode, a friends on your friends list online mode AND this community mode. What more do we really want? It'd be nice if we could search for people and clans via some sort list of gamer-tags and clan-names but other than that..... long story short I think people are forgetting what was crap about friendcodes.

@Adam That is an idea, but my 9-day Thanksgiving break starting on the 19th, and I want to have stuff to play during it. That's why Kart gets the shaft. Plus 3D Land is already pre-ordered and I plan on pre-ordered the limited edition version of Zelda to secure a copy.
