Description

Mario Kart 7

In Mario Kart 7, the Nintendo Network was used for online races and battles. It only can hold up to eight players per-room. Additionally, another change is that players now can have more than 9999 VR/BR(ex. 60257 VR). Also, players can view their friends and other players they played against.

Mario Kart 8

Nintendo Network is used once again, in Mario Kart 8, now having 12 players per room. Also, on the worldwide and regional modes, player can create rooms with custom rules. Players can also create tournaments for other players to join. Leaderboards from Mario Kart Wii return. Along with posting Miiverse posts after a player beats a staff ghost, wins a Grand Prix, or when ever they want, they can also use Stamps in their posts.

Miiverse was removed from the game, but supported Nintendo Network until September 19th, 2018, where it was replaced by Nintendo Switch Online. Stamps have also been removed.
