Playing Mario Kart 7 online in 2023
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2023
- Mario Kart Wii was officially replaced by Mario Kart 7 in 2011. This being said, with the 3DS game not living up to many people's expectations, the game has proceeded to become less and less popular over the years. With Nintendo recently announcing the game's online servers (as well as all other 3DS and Wii U online services) will be shutting down in April of 2024, it seemed appropriate to take a look back at Mario Kart 7's online features and functionalities. Were us Wii players too hard on the game?

While I'm sure Pretendo Network will fill in for Nintendo Network after the servers go down, it's still the end of an era. However, I think Mario Kart 7 still has many exiting years ahead, and I enjoyed getting to play it for the first time in a while.

Say, do I know you? Hmm... might you be one of the super cool subscribers of this channel? Wait... you're not? Well, you should become one! After all, this channel DOES offer a growing library of Mario Kart Wii content!
ua-cam.com/users/beanzard64
wait what Pretendo?!? what DS should i get? 2DS 3DS would like one that i can screen record with any recommendation?
@@GaelLazerYT Getting a system for recording is tricky. I sent my console (New 3DS XL) to Loopy over at 3dscapture to get a capture card installed, but it's unfortunately a pretty expensive process and he runs out of stock quickly. This said, if you have a New 3DS/New 2DS, there's also a homebrew capture software you can use wirelessly, but the quality is significantly worse.
@@GaelLazerYTPretendo's a project/service that's being made right now to replace 3DS/WiiU servers (they're even remaking miiverse!)
@@beanzard64 ima wait till we get it for Emulator working with ctgp 7 and with pretendo
@@yukobayshi awesome
Mario Kart 7 Was The first Game I Started Playing on the 3ds and I enjoyed it
same but for me it was the first game i ever played
Mk7 is my first i was conscious playing
Me too I got the blue and black 2ds with mk7
Same
My 3ds xl was my own first handheld
8:48 Yo no way im the french Daisy-Simp player, I instantly recognised myself with my epic combo and bagging toad circuit gameplay. wish I knew who you were at the time, I would have been so happy to see and recognise you in game. I guess mk7 online is a really a small place
Mario kart 7 still alive to this day thanks for keeping this game alive and ill watch the premiere all the way through 🍿
Thank you!
servers just shut down, pretendo is there tho
Does pretendo work on every game?@@Squid_Salad
@@gabriels9919 no, but you can check progress for each game on their website
The meta car combo for 7 is actually Metal Mario + B Dasher + Red Monster tyres + Peach Parasol / Ghastly glider
Plot Twist! I was the Yoshi in the Toad Circuit Match at 8:47 I am not even kidding. 11 year old me made a pretty bad Mii replica of myself with my own initials attached but I think it helped me... maybe.
I wanted to play Mario Kart 7 again ever since I heard the 3DS and Wii U Online was gonna die, and that match is one example of me relearning Mario Kart 7’s physics all over again (seriously, I somehow hit myself with my own Red Shell several times in the section I was online) but it was worth it in the end.
My ultimate goal is to finish with exactly 6969 VR by April.
What are the odds! This is pretty much my first time playing online in a years as well.
I remember when I used to play this back when it came out and people would only play that wuhu track
Unless I’m mistaken, the Wuhu tracks were the first to have major shortcuts discovered. That’s probably part of why they were so popular.
ur right@@beanzard64
@@beanzard64yes, but the wuhu ultra got patched for online play with an update via eshop i think
The streets pass ghosts don’t disappear after you play them they get stored in Time trials along with 8 or 9 other ghosts so you can race with 7 ghosts on that track that you just beaten from the street pass on the Mario Kart channel.
There actually is a drift stat in MK7. It's just hidden. You have to look it up
SpotPass Time Trials don’t get removed, they just get moved to where you’d select a ghost race.
Ohhhh that makes a lot more sense
The thing that charmed me about mk7 was definitely the spotpass time trails I got a few, and it was amazing
Of course its like any other time trials with peoples ghosts, but they were like time capsules with multiple people, and it was so awesome
And their spotpass miis would randomly appear in your grand prixs in single player sometimes
@@not_kjb Wait, SERIOUSLY? That's awesome, I don't remember that. I'll have to check that out haha
@@beanzard64 yeah that was funny when ever it did happen, unfortunately I don't have the game anymore tho
The battle mode matches you played where honestly really fun to watch. Great video overall
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
so entertaining, glad i was recommended this because I've been playing a lot of MK7 online these past weeks to get up to 10K (I'm at 7000 now), I'll tell you this its still alive, but half of the time youre up against less players than you expect, its more fun when youre up against decent players
Any tips to get to 10k vr before online shuts down? Im trying too but its a pain 😭
@TrubbishIsCool568 mainly just have items ready for you to hold on for protection, and just try to stay at a good position to get points. with enough players you can still get a good amount of points without needing first place.
terms of character and kart wise choose anybody and use the b dasher with slick/monster/red monster wheels and lastly choose the umbrella glider for a bit of better turning.
if anything else, i started with 1K late September, if you're at least playing the game 2-3 hours online daily, it's possible to get up to 10K within a month.
online ends at april next year so you'll have a lot of time to get caught up, it could get slightly overwhelmed at the near end but that's like nothing.
also obviously use your items to hit opponents when you feel in the needs to, just try to be cautious with what your opponents have
so excited eveytime i see a new video from u
Thank you!!
please do another video like this, this was a very entertaining watch.
Thanks!
I played mk7 yesterday trying to get a new pb on snes rainbow road. I feel like I can beat my time of 1:19.572
This is a sad way to learn about the discontinuation of 3ds/wii u online, i thought it would never come, and it's so soon now. 3ds and Wii U were my childhood (im still a kid but let me cook), and seeing all of the services for them slowly crumble one by one, official hardware production, miiverse, the e-shop, and now online itself, along with many other miscellanous discontinuations.
Mmhmm...
At least it was longer than DS and (especially) Wii official servers. Both shut down in 2014 due to the closure of GameSpy.
bro ur voice mad relaxing bro
Thank you haha
I’ve been thinking about this lately! Well I guess we’ll see. Looking forward to this great upload. 👍
Thanks!
This is nostalgic.i remember getting home every day and grinding the online. I recently got back to the game sadly a couple weeks late of online servers shutting down, so I cant relive the good time. I will forever have 15000 Vr
Ayyyyy It’s always nice to see someone play online MK7 in this day and age 🤜🏻
There are two more things which are special to mk7 online:
1.Those people who afk in battle mode to grind VR, so you can hit them over and over again to grind points
2.The mkwii style HACKERS
I love this game. Thankfully, we can still play online with CTGP7.
Love the Wi Fi Menu song
woah? 9.5k? dude, you're on fire! awesome video as usual.
Thanks so much dude! Glad you enjoyed
The fact that the B dasher and Metal Mario was meta, is so cool to me. Love that character and combo
mario kart 7 was one of my first online network games i’ve ever played
In my opinion there isn't such a thing as a "bad" Mario Kart, some games just aren't a select few's cup of tea but it doesn't effect the quality of the game
That's a good way of looking at it. At the end of the day, it's up to preference.
I mean I'd agree if it wasn't for Super Mario Kart. I don't think anybody actually enjoys that game lol
Hey I didn’t see anyone point this out but as you reach higher vr, you usually get more room availability.
3:00 uh oh, someone got a blue shell
Awesome! Are there going to be more MK7 videos? Or older MK games?
I don’t have any other MK7 videos planned, but I may make videos centered around a couple of other MK games at some point
Game's more enjoyable to play at a higher level than 8DX is, at least for me
Still play it online plenty, so it's a bit sad to see it go, but at the same time I know there will be ways to still access servers
You know the shortcut in Coconut Mall isn’t off-road in 7?? I only figured this out like 2 weeks ago and I’ve had the game for years 😳
That’s crazy, I had no idea
my childhood mk right here. this game is fun online from what I rember.
this game is so nostalgic man
9:37 ive played this game way too much and ive never thought the bullet would do that haha
Hey man, just want to put this message out and say thank for everything you’ve done. You’ve put out this really inspiring content and we’re all very proud of you! Keep up the amazing and wonderful work for your future endeavours, and stay safe.
Thank you Slithered! I always appreciate your support
MK Wii is the Melee of Mario Kart. It’s not dying it’s got a huge online community in CTGP and even implemented 200cc (which runs WAYYYY better on Wii than MK8D).
MK7 is underrated though. This is just one of those franchises that has been super consistent through the years and hard to mess up. Same with the mainline Mario series.
love ur videos
Thank you so much!
I got MK7 in 2012 and I remember how packed the servers were, I guess everyone moved on..
There are few people online because many people have more than 10k vr, the better you are the more perseverance you need to be at the level
yo wanna race with me?
@@NomeOfficial yes
@@abclan alright join at 21:30?
@@abclan I'll join when you reply
@@NomeOfficial no, Today I won't be able to
I still play online to this mk7 even if i have 8 and 8 deluxe and wii because it's my favorite mario kart and we choose random because all tracks are amazing or at least great/normal
I only played Mario Kart 7 for the first time yesterday (no joke), and I think it’s decent. It’s no Mario Kart 8, not Double Dash and nowhere near Mario Kart Wii’s level of great, but it’s ok.
as someone who has played this, i can deconfirm that 1:44 is actually good shroomless, you just gotta drift into it and out
Also helps if you got monster tyres
im the leeza yoshi in the full room at wuhu loop! :) this was so fun.
Oh nice! GGs (:
Rest In Peace
3DS online multi-player 😢
0:18 i see you attempting the cut lol
The mariokart game where you play as this extremely minor obeese bee from mario galaxy which has 2 fans and is barely known by pretty much the rest of the world, while a fan favorite universally adored purple overall wearing crackhead is nowhere to be found, despite HIS OWN TRACK still being in the game.
I honestly don’t think you can even lose VR in this game. I don’t remember ever losing any when I would lose
I still play MK7 and it's so fun
if your 3ds is homebrewed like mine, you can still play online mk7 after april 1 2024
No point not to have a Homebrew this time
Nostalgia at its best
wow i had the game for years and didnt know about the glider SC on mario circuit 2
It’s a neat one!
My friend and I bring our 3Ds’ to school and play Mario kart local multiplayer during passing periods 😦
Fun fact The 3ds was released before the youngest country in the world gained indepence
3ds - Febuary 26th 2011
South Sudan - July 9th 2011
The blue shell in this game is an absolute menace 💀
Probably where the blue shell nightmares came from
You better play as much as you can considering whats happening next year
I love mk7 online, but it's definitely been more buggy lately. The game will crash on the character select screen. It only happens when trying to play online and I havent been able to find anyone having a similar issue. I dont know if it's just my 3ds being weird or if it's something else
Sorry to hear that. Hope you can get it figured out!
Go to Friends/Opponents then scroll to Recent Opponents and the black and white checkered flag indicates a player you can join.
This is the only way I've been able to play online for MONTHS!
I have a challenge for you. Make it an incentive to reach 10,000 VR before the servers shut down. You'll get the gold kart
People would be hacking their Wii U and 3DS before Nintendo Network dies.
This video was great but I was last in chat again
the bullet bill pathing was crazy XD
Never played this, hopefully it is still active doe 😅
We need more MK7 videos! :o
I might make another one sometime, thanks for letting me know!
Rosalina main here I only played Mario kart 7 when I couldn’t play on the wii😂
I bet only track port that didn't work was the Alpine pass\Rock Rock Mountain
i hope we will have a custom online server for 3DS and Wii U like Wiimmfi i still have Mario Kart 7 Wii U i dont have it anymore since it belongs to my little cosin, i hear there is CTGP 7 you should try it i had it years ago, but not anymore, since my 2DS is broken also how do you screen record MK7 like this bruh!? bro that bill was crezy on Toads Circuit lol Battle mod is awesome bro
That's what Pretendo Network is. They don't support online functionality for most games yet, but hopefully, that'll change with time.
And yeah, I really wasn't expecting that bullet bill. Felt like a custom track interaction haha
Even though I prefer Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it was still fun to play Mario Kart 7 online.
When there weren't hackers in the room, of course.
I was honestly kinda hoping I’d find a hacker haha
Still good until it shutdowns
i want to play this again but i lost the cartridge ☹
I sometimes play ctgp 7 on my 3ds
I’ve still gotta check that out one of these days
Soon functional loop will be possible in that mod in the future so we might see DS RR and some few other tracks with loop.
mk7 is so good please make more content about it maybe even mk7 ctgp
I'd like to get around to trying CTGP-7 one day.
@@beanzard64 do it now during the shutdown
It bothers me that you put your own music instead of just keeping the game's sound but other than that, interesting video
Have you got games on your phone?
I’ve put so many hours into this game and it’s truly embarrassing that I learned at least three new shortcuts from this video, quite disappointed with myself. Awesome video though
Glad you liked it! And don't beat yourself up, the only shortcuts I know are probably outdated by now haha
Can you play Mario Kart Knockoff of Logan Kart 8 Deluxe?
wii, 7, and 8 are good, but im sad 8 never came to 3ds
nice vid :)
Thanks!
Haha that's me at 9:00 XoXo
Nintendo: cancels everything on 3ds and Wii U
Modders: Oh no! Anyways.
Also, would love to see you try ctgp-7 with custom cc
Weird how MKW was (and still is) vastly more popular than 7 but 8 and 8 deluxe are effectively remakes of 7 and took very little from MKW
There’s still online play
Mk7 is my fav Mario kart so this made me so happy :)
Also I’m still upset that you said Mario was better than Luigi, stop lying to yourself
Waluigi hater
@@bitstimandwesker8896 WHAT
You should play ctgp-7
I wanna try it sometime, I just haven't gotten around to it
Tbh you had loads of vr i only had 2300vr
Zucchini is better than b dasher, and paraglider is the best glider.
I loved this game man, fuck nintendo for ruining the 3DS
14:58 NOT MATH
play CTGP-7
big fan
Thank you!
I love mk7
Play it modded!
One of these days
So they weren't lying on shutting down online racing?
Sadly, no.

I have this game still, so I could play it.
I just don't
