Rainbow road all the way

Mario Kart 7 is due out in less than two weeks, giving 3DS owners one more game to use when justifying their purchase. Considering how important Mario Kart DS was in assuring the success of the original dual-screened handheld, expectations are pretty high for the new iteration of the Kart franchise, with fans hoping it will be the game the system needs to become the success Nintendo expected it to be. In preparation for the release we've put together a video showing off all 16 of the game's new courses, demonstrating a variety of Mario Kart 7's locations, mechanics, and obstacles.

Check them out, and let us know which levels you're the most excited for (we have a feeling it's going to be Rainbow Road, though Piranha Plant Slide's retro themes might win some of you over in the long run).
