Trivia / CTGP-7

• Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things:
  • The five-race cooldown for tracks online was introduced in 1.4.2 due to people repeatedly spamming votes for "meme courses" in lobbies, namely Baby Park and Miku's Birthday Spectacular.
  • The sheer abundance of hackers on vanilla Mario Kart 7 servers was always a bugbear among developers and fans alike, but the tipping point came when an exploit that was able to crash consoles was discovered and promptly abused by hackers playing online. As a result, CTGP-7 was forced to migrate to their own custom server, which was less robust but had much better anti-cheat.
