Mario Kart 7 is essentially the same thing as Mario Kart DS but more awesome and in 3D.

Unusual Item Boxes
On Rainbow Road after the first gliding section, there are three Item Boxes hidden under the planet's rings. They can only be collected by flying under the rings and back up onto the course. Unlike the Super Item Box retained in DK Pass (DS), which has a unique item distribution of only speed items and Red Shells, they appear to have no special characteristics.
Regional Differences
 | To do: Are there other localizations with notable name changes? |
For some reason, certain track and kart part names were changed between the American and European versions of the game.
Track Names
| Japanese | American | European |
|---|---|---|
| Cheep Cheep Lagoon | Cheep Cheep Lagoon | Cheep Cheep Cape |
| Shy Guy Carnival | Shy Guy Bazaar | Shy Guy Bazaar |
| Wuhu Island 1 | Wuhu Loop | Wuhu Island Loop |
| Music Park | Music Park | Melody Motorway |
| Rock Rock Mountain | Rock Rock Mountain | Alpine Pass |
| Piranha Plant Slider | Piranha Plant Slide | Piranha Plant Pipeway |
| Wario Ship | Wario Shipyard | Wario's Galleon |
| Neo Koopa City | Neo Bowser City | Koopa City |
| Wuhu Island 2 | Maka Wuhu | Wuhu Mountain Loop |
| Rosetta Planet | Rosalina's Ice World | Rosalina's Ice World |
| Koopa Castle | Bowser's Castle | Bowser's Castle |
| Honeybee House | Honeybee Hive | Honeybee House |
Despite the name change, the American/Japanese name "Music Park" can still be seen on banners in the level in the European version.
Kart Part Names
| American | European |
|---|---|
| Birthday Girl | Royal Ribbon |
| Zucchini | Gherkin |
| Gold Standard | Gold Kart |
| Bruiser | Growlster |
| Beast Glider | Ghastly Glider |
| Paraglider | Parafoil |
| Swooper | Swoop |
In regards to the last change, Swoop is another name for Swooper in some recent games. The names seem to be used interchangeably.
Revisional Differences
Version 1.1, first released May 15, 2012, fixed three respawn glitches in the courses:
- GBA Bowser Castle 1
- Wuhu Loop / Wuhu Island Loop / Wuhu Island 1
- Maka Wuhu / Wuhu Mountain Loop / Wuhu Island 2
These fixes only affect the online play. Also, "Ver 1.1" was added to the Online Multiplayer icon.
