| Alternate way to unlock kart parts. | |
| When you receive mario kart 7 data from someone via streetpass, go to the Mario Kart Channel to access the streetpass data which includes the kart customization that person set on his channel profile. Select Grand Prix to race in a Prix that person set up on his profile. Place ahead of that person's mii character and if that person choose a kart customization that includes a part that you don't have yet, you will unlock that part. For example, if the person you street passed used a kart body you didn't unlock yet and you beat his/her mii in his Grand Prix, you will unlock that kart body for your own use. | |
| Action | Result |
| Beat a streetpassed mii in his/her Grand Prix that uses a part you haven't unlocked. | Any Kart Part |
Secrets
| Turbo Boost at Start of Race | |
|---|---|
| To get a turbo boost at the start of a race do not hold the acceleration button down before the countdown starts. Wait until just after the number 2 in the countdown stops spinning and then hold down the A or Y button. If done correctly you will receive a turbo boost as soon as the race starts. | |
| Turbo Boost at Bouncing Music Notes Section in Music Park Track | |
| Near the end of the Music Park Track there is a segment where these Musical Notes bounce up and down every few seconds. When these Musical Notes bounce they make the ground around them tremble and if they manage to make you bounce it will cause you to lose speed. If you time it correctly and press the R Button right when you are bounced you will get a Turbo Boost for a short period of time. | |
| Turbo Boost After Lakitu Retrieval | |
| If you fall off the track or get stuck somewhere for more than a couple moments Lakitu comes to pull you out and place you on the track again. When he picks you up, wait until you're dropped then press the acceleration at the exact moment youre dropped onto the track and press on the Y or A button. Time it right and youll get a Turbo Boost for a short period of time. |
