Product Description
Mario Kart DS will drive players new and old to distraction as they race their way around a selection of tracks, including all-new extravaganzas and time-honoured classics from previous versions of the games. What`s more Mario Kart DS will be the first Nintendo DS title to offer gamers online play allowing you to race anyone, anywhere, anytime for free.
Want to show off your skills? Then get excited as Mario Kart DS features both online and wireless multiplayer modes. By using the Wireless DS Single-Card Download Play feature, up to 8 players can link up with just one game card. Alternatively you can battle it out online with three other players either in the comfort of your own home using your existing Wi-Fi broadband; or in the High Street either at Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Access Points in store or at Nintendo Wi-Fi connection enabled public Wi-Fi hotspots. Never before has it been so easy to pick up a games console and challenge friends from all over the world for free.
Nintendo`s unique new Friend Roster enables players to play online with their friends, all you need to do is set up a Friend Code by swapping a number with your friend, they will then be added to your Friend Roster and you can select to play with them online anytime, anywhere. Alternatively you can play with someone of a similar skill level. This is done seamlessly via Nintendo`s servers through the use of a skill mapping system to ensure the environment is open to users of all ages and skill levels.
The Nintendo DS`s double screens are put to perfect use in Mario Kart DS, moving certain features, such as the map onto the bottom screen, clearing the top solely for the fast paced action. Mario Kart DS also allows players to see what weapons their opponents have, thanks to a small symbol next to their faces on the lower screen. For the first time ever you will know what item to hang onto and what tricks your opponents have up their sleeves.

 The best ds game i ever played August 22, 2010
oh my god, i love!!!! this game. The point of the game is to unlock all of the tracks, but that dosen't matter. The MOST important thing is to have fun!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't normaly like racing games at all! but this is my #1 game. I lost it once, spent lodes of time looking for it and then i just re-bought as soon as i could. I love this game!!! i Would buy it if i were you!
Love it! July 6, 2010

Mario Kart ds is an exceptional game. There's no
two ways about it. The format remains the same,
but with each incarnation the game improves
slighly, and this ds version is no different. All
your favourite characters are here, with some
extras thrown in. At the start of the game there
are 6 characters, and 24 tracks to choose from.
In its full unlocked state, the game offers 12
characters and 32 tracks. Not including the mirror
mode. Which effectively doubles the amount of
tracks. There is also the option to choose different
karts for your character, introducing a slight
tactical element to the game, but in reality,
seasoned players will more than likely see this as
little more than a gimmick. All three cc classes are
here too, 50, 100 and 150. As-well as the time
trial. Retro fans will be satisfied too, with the
inclusion of 4 tracks from each of nintendo's retro
consoles; the GBA, the SNES, the N64 and the
GameCube. The staff ghosts are in there too, so
replay value is good. In short, Mario Kart ds is a
game that will provide hours and hours of fun.
Well worth the money, and definately a keeper.
Highly recommended.

I purchased this for my six year old an he has had a lot of fun playing it, definitely worth the money paid for it.Unfortunately the first one I received did not work even though the seller tests each one before shipping, however they did redeem their selves and sent another one that did work.
This is why you own a ds. (I will keep this short+sweet) June 6, 2010
Mario kart ds is nintendo at its best. The whole game is just utter brilliance in my oppinion. From the moment you turn it on you know its going to be good. The music is flawless, the controls are tight and the gameplay is perfect. The base of the game is racing around on 36 courses. However the aim of each race is to obiously stay in front, this is where the mario magic comes in. The power ups. Everyone on the track will use various power ups (including yourself)to make sure the person in front will be thrown about and pushed back. The game is absoloutly chaotic and fast paced! The idea is one moment you are in the lead by a long way and perhaps moments later you will be blown up into sixth place.
The tracks are as enjoyable as the racing. They consist of 16 new ones and 16 from previous games (retro courses)The new ones are made perfectly and are an absoloute joy to drive on. My personal faverioute is "walluigi pinball" This course is based in a pinball arcade machine and has a vegas feal to it with the flashy lights and huge bumpers that smash you around the course! The course starts off good as it shoots you up a long tunnel that has rainbow lights flashing all over the place! Fantastic!
There are 36(ish) karts to get to grips with and 12 mario charecters for you to play as. Each has there own personal skill. Peach is good at powersliding, Yoshi has fine grip and toad has good acceleration. There is so much to do in this game as there are 3 difficulty styles of racing. 50cc (for noobs) 100cc (for the average player) and 150cc (for the skilled hardcore) If you manage to complete them all you will unlock the mirror cup which is all the tracks in reverse!!
Another good addition is the kart emblem customiser. This lets you customise your own eblem that gets embarked onto your kart. You can design it anyway you want!
If you crave for more there is even a mission mode where you complete various missions like driving through 10 rings or so.
One of my faverioute additions is the battle mode. There are two styles. 1:shine runners. This is where you have to collectt objects called shines and you must try and steal your opponents and have the most at the end to win. 2: balloon runners. I love this! You have 5 balloons and you must have at least one on your kart to stay in the game. Blow into the mic to blow up more balloons. The objective is to pop your opponents balloons by using power ups against them. If you are the last man standing you win. If you want a hard meaty challenge go on the battle mode and select hard cpu, random courses and team off. Then the mode becomes a game of raw hardcore skill. A real good challenge.
There is just so much to the game it would take a whole page to fill this in. To summerise. If havent got it get now. If you need a ds get one now! If you are bored of this get mario kart wii! (perhaps even better)
