These aren't YMMV. Moving.

* SequelDifficultyDrop: 7's 150cc and Mirror modes don't seem as difficult as Wii's versions, most likely because of the lowered player count and removal of some of the nastier items. Still infuriating though.
** A large factor in this is likely the removal of the fake item box. In every Mario Kart game since Double Dash, shells go right through the fake item box, making it absolutely useless as a defensive option. A favorite technique of Mario Kart Wii's RandomNumberGod was giving you a fake item box and then giving the [=CPU=] in 2nd place a red shell, effectively making you helpless unless there was a sharp enough turn nearby. Another major factor is that blue shells no longer strip you of an item you haven't used yet, and that lightning isn't rigged to happen every 30 seconds. All of this combines to allow a skilled player in 1st place to play a much stronger defensive game without having it stripped away by the RandomNumberGod.
** Also, the criteria for getting at least one star on each cup seems to be significantly lower in MarioKart 7, and getting three of them seems to almost be down to winning every race and not falling off the track too much. Apparently because being hit by items thrown by the AI opponents doesn't hurt your rank this time round.
** It should be noted, however, that the ranking system in ''7'' drops the letters and only has between one to three stars. One might be inclined to think this is just to make a person feel better.
