Mario Kart 7 is the first Mario game to use the Nintendo Network service as it offers the ability to create custom communities, which would then become one of the features of the service. Nintendo stated that the game brings "a bunch of new elements" to the Mario Kart series. Players can also receive Ghost data via SpotPass and race against other player's Ghosts from around the world.
In the game, players are able to exchange Ghost data and play online in multiplayer mode. Kart customization is also introduced instead of racing in pre-made karts like the previous titles. The main new feature of this installment is the hang gliding and underwater driving, which allows racers to glide through the air and race in underwater sections of the new and old tracks. Additionally, it is the first Mario Kart game to be developed by more than one video game developer, namely Nintendo EAD and Retro Studios, and the second Mario Kart to have a different video game developer (not including the Mario Kart Arcade GP series), the first being Mario Kart: Super Circuit.
