  • Gyro sensor (first-person view): Touch top of Control Pad.

Kart stuff:

Unlike all of Mario Kart games, players can make their own karts. Seven are available from start (hence the name), but twenty four are unlockable. There are thirty one stuff in the game. You need three stuff for the race time: 1x kart, 4x same wheel and 1x glider.

Karts

Unlocking Criteria:

All parts requires same amount of coins. If you get enough coins, the player will get random thing. Gold parts requires special tasks. The only non-gold thing that require special task is Ghastly Glider.

  • Ghastly Glider: Cost £500 or 5000p. But when using StreetPass, the price reduces.
  • Gold Glider: Cost £1000 or 10,000p. Or using one hundred StreetPass connections.

Battle Stage

These are minicourses that only appear in Balloon Battle and Coin Runner. 3 are retro and half of them are nitro. New ones both share the same music, while old ones use their own music from past Mario Kart games.

Ghost data:

Like Mario Kart Wii, ghost data in Time Trial also made a return. Also, there are 2 types of them: medium and hard. Medium ghosts are available at start, while tricky ones can be unlocked if you get the fastest time as possible, or beating medium ones. Harder ones often go very rare shortcuts with their items to make it impossible to beat them, while most easier ones often just stay in the road and ignore few shortcuts.
