While racing, collecting coins can provide the vehicle with a brief boost of speed. In addition to traditional controls, Mario Kart 7 can be played using the Nintendo 3DS gyroscope, in which the action is viewed in first person and the player steers the kart simply by turning the entire game system. Mario Kart 7 also features three items new to the Mario Kart series: the Fire Flower, the Super Leaf, and Lucky 7, which bestows seven items at once. Several returning items like Koopa Shells, Banana Peels, and Super Mushrooms are present.

There are 32 selectable tracks of which sixteen are new tracks, and the others are enhanced tracks from previous games. The customization also introduces new features in building the ultimate vehicle, choosing from various frames which range in weight, a selection of tires which affect the handling of the vehicle on certain surfaces. The mechanics of Mario Kart have evolved allowing the race karts to transform in the middle of a race between a hang glider and a hydro submersible vehicle upon encountering aerial of underwater course segments respectively. The game continues the tradition of featuring various courses for eight players to race through while using a number of different power ups avoiding banana peels, and launching red shell projectiles at rival opponents.
