If you haven't done so already you can head over to the N-Europe Forums where there is a dedicated thread for helping you set up online games in Mario Kart 7. Our forum community is always busy discussing various topics in the different forum boards and of course very active when it comes to playing online Nintendo games. You're sure to find some new friends to race with online and then return to the forums afterwards to discuss the ups and downs and funny moments you may have just had playing online.

You can share and trade your 3DS Console Code within the MK7 thread if you wish or you can visit the actual Console Code Thread where you can find all the codes for almost every member of the N-E forum family who has a 3DS.
