Don't see a page for beginner tips or videos or anything worth a damn on the main page other than ranks (ugh guys get it together...).

Just got this game obviously and don't want to go through a 64 page thread to find anything.

There is a lot of information to be found on this board, too.

I'm not sure what you mean by "get it together". Some members have contributed a lot to the community by writing many guides and publishing them here. If it bothers you a lot that most of it is on the board rather than on the site, I'll be more than happy to have guides added to the site if somebody has enough time and patience to rewrite them in a nice format.

I found this starter guide already pretty good:

Nosey wrote on 11/22/11 at 11:43:38:

General Hints and Tips for newcomers to the game!
Turning when not drifting loses time, so do your best to align after releasing a miniturbo/shroom.

When hopping to start a drift, try and wait as long as possible before moving the circle-pad in the direction you want before landing again, because turning in the air slows you down quite significantly.
Edit: Note that is only when you don't have a boost.

Miniturbos in this game are mostly based on the amount of time that you're pointing the circle pad into the turn - if you plan to charge a red mt with a really wide turn, i.e. holding the circle-pad left when drifting right - you're going to be waiting a long time.

Tricks are now triggered when pressing the R button when in the air, low tricks are easy, just delay pressing the R button by a tiny amount.

For all GP/Online/TTs, it is advisable to collect as many coins as possible on the 1st/2nd lap.
The difference between having 3 and 4 coins can be barely noticeable, but difference between 3 and 10 coins is surprisingly large.

For the best character-vehicle-wheel combos, visit the WR thread.

EDIT:
If you ever want to publish it on the site, I would suggest to add this:

For the best character-vehicle-wheel combos, visit the WR thread on http://www.mkwrs.com/mk7/
If you click there on a highlighted time, you can also watch a video of the best known strategy of that particular track.

On http://www.mariowiki.com/mario_Kart_7 you can look up all character, vehicle, wheel and glider statistics.

Since it doesn't affect the AF, i think it's perfectly fair to everyone, including those who don't do glitches because they aren't forced to do it for points. Green would be better for the glitch page though, green = glitch

I agree with these three points.
The time has definitely come to introduce standards; MK8 has been announced which means its release is not too far away: let's say the game will be available in the summer of 2014 approximately. After this deadline, activity will most probably suffers a big drop, drop which can actually be softened if we get a lot of players to play until that date.
That gives us a year to boost MK7's activity !

Marv wrote on 07/03/13 at 09:54:22:

I still think it's too early for standards, look at all the new strats people find these days.

Don't forget there will always be new strategies, even five years after a game's release. I think we currently know enough about the game to make relevant standards (I'm not saying they will be perfect). The only things we are still unsure about are hitboxes and karts statistics; but that doesn't seem to make a huge difference. Last but not least, many of the "new strats" you are referring to (glitches excepted) were already known, people just didn't want to use them.

Yeah, I must agree here. No one thought Earl would create such an OP strat on rBC1 NG so long into the game and yet he did, and now he has God standard lol.

Hi Hugh,

I don't think that we will change our standards but I have to agree that they can seem a bit hard in the beginning.
You could also be doing something wrong. Maybe you're not using the right strats or you start your drifts wrong or you don't know that you have to collect coins to go faster. If you keep having trouble, you can always make a video of a run and post it in the videos topic and ask for help there. Enough guys here who are willing to give you some advice. Wink

Sorry for the late reply and welcome to the site!

There is a laps-only rankings on this page: http://www.mariokart64.com/mk7/stat.php
It's almost on the bottom of the page.

It would be an amelioration if we replace ARR by AF. And displaying more than 15 players there.
But that is something that we should ask Alex.

Also, the courses-only top players on that page look obsolete to me.

A lap ranking will look very close to the Lap Total Times (http://www.mariokart64.com/mk7/totaltimec.php?mode=l). I mean, clearly Long John is going to be first, followed by Leo

There seem to be exactly 50 players with a full set of laps.

Maybe something like this: http://www.mariokart64.com/mk7/aflap.php ? Looks a little barren. This is a live ranking so the Change column is not tracked, and will always be empty. Other ranking tables usually keep track of last-update's value.

Hmm... Couldn't you combine both tables to make a rankings based on AF but which also display total times?

If it's not, I still think that an AF ranking should prevail over the total times one... I don't know what would be the best solution though Undecided

Of course. I meant combining the flap AF and the flap totals in the same table Tongue

I agree that it's great that we have a laps AF ranking now. It seems like the question is now how and where we implement it into the site. If you guys want to create an extra page for it, do we add a 'Laps'-link to the NonGlitch sidebar? Or how do we get to that page? And the page should have a table with both AF and Total Times? And PRSR?
