How to create a 2D Mode-7 like look

[Cornix]

Hi.

I would like to ask if anybody had any advice for me on how to create a good mode7 clone.
For anybody who does not know what the term means here are some examples from old SNES games:
Mario Kart:

Secret of Mana:

I know I could just use a 3D camera and have the tilemap as a 2D plane in combination with some kind of sky-box.
But I would like to ask if there is an easy solution or tutorial already up somewhere which I could take a look at.

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

Just play with the matrices, I think it would be easy for you to create
a mode7 shader to apply only on objects you want flat
