New Mario Kart 7 details – tracks, items
Tracks:
Mushroom Cup:
Toad Circuit:
Generic starter track, first use of glider.
Daisy Hills:
The track with the hot air balloons. Features long gliding section and rams.
Cheep Cheep Lagoon: First water level, shown off at E3 and demoed multiple times.
Shy Guy Bazaar: Arabian themed with multiple routes.
Flower Cup:
Wuhu Loop:
The track that is one long lap. There are giant cars you need to dodge.
They really want to emphasize those cars.
Mario Circuit:
Contains a lot of coins for unlocking parts.
Music Park:
Music themed (obviously), features pirahna plants and music notes that shake the ground.
Rock Rock Mountain:
Another air themed track, has a lot of shortcuts to take.
Shell Cup:
Luigi Raceway (N64)
Bowser’s Castle 1 (GBA)
Mushroom Gorge (Wii)
Luigi’s Mansion (DS)
Banana Cup:
Koopa Beach (N64)
Mario Circuit 2 (SNES)

Characters:
They confirm that there are more characters than the sixteen released. I’m personally hoping for Waluigi and Dry Bones to round out the roster.
Items:
Fire Flower is on a timer.
Last item in the lucky seven is a mushroom (as I predicted!)
Tanooki tail deflects shells back. Not sure if multi use.
