Metal Mario and Lakitu added to Mario Kart 7 Roster
New gameplay footage has revealed that Mario Kart 7 will add Metal Mario and Lakitu to the starting grid for the very first time.
The reveal was made in a developer interview with Series Producer Hideki Konno.
Metal Mario is the shiny, metal of Mario that appeared in Super Mario 64. In Mario Kart 7 he will drive a metallic version of Mario’s kart. Lakitu is the bespectacled cloud-riding Koopa that has signaled the countdown at the starting line throughout the Mario Kart series. In Mario Kart 7 he will drive a wheeled version of his trademark cloud.
Konno states that Mario Kart 7 will feature “several” new characters, suggesting more characters will be revealed in the future.
Thanks, Video Games Blogger.

Far more interesting is what they gave planned for spot pass, street pass and online. Looks great to me.

Looking great, flying seems interesting. Lakitu is such a cool little character, had no idea what his name was
