I already own Mario Kart 8, so I thought, "Why not buy Mario Kart 7." I expected the older game to have great HD, just like Mario Kart 8, but it does not. The game has very poor resolution. If I had known this I might not have gotten the game. But, on a more happy note, the game itself is great. I absolutely love the multiplayer experience. If you are ever online, I would love to play with you.
