Mario Kart 7 is one of the most content barren games I’ve ever played, and it’s extremely easy to see just how rushed and unfinished the game is. It’s character roster is one of the worst in the entire series, as it replaces fan favorites with worthless picks (even if I love Wiggler). The course selection on offer is relatively mid, with a retro selection that swings between some of the best and the most boring courses the series has to offer, and a nitro track selection that I constantly have to remind myself what was actually in it. At the same time, 7 feels extremely tight and wonderful to play. It’s actually one of my favorite control feels in the series, and it continues to be addicting. Even though the difficulty is absurdly RNG, I always come back to 100% the game whenever I play it. While Mario Kart 7 makes some extremely weird decisions and wasn’t finished on release, it’s still very fun and feels great to play even today
