Time Trials - Race against the clock in a single race on any course you've unlocked. Then challenge others to beat your best time by sharing your ghost data with them via StreetPass communication.
Balloon Battle - Square off against other racers in a closed course, grabbing items and using them to pop their balloons before you get popped yourself. Whoever pops the most balloons wins.
Coin Runners - Battle your fellow racers to see who can get rich the quickest! Grab as many coins as you can on the closed course, and use items to make your opponents drop their stash.

Everyone can choose their own racer and custom kart for maximum racing fun on the bus, at the playground, or anywhere you like.
Download Play - If all your racing buddies have a Nintendo 3DS system, only one of you needs a copy of Mario Kart 7 to enjoy Download Play.
