Mario Kart DS - The Best Racing Game For DS! April 17, 2006
24 out of 25 found this review helpful

Mario Kart DS is amazing! You may have heard that many a time before in other reviews but I mean it. I've never really been a whizz at computer games (especially racing games) and bought my DS for Nintendogs. I recieved Mario Kart as a gift for Christmas and have been glued to it ever since. It is great for all age groups ( to reason obviously ) and is good for any type of player from advanced to a beginner like me!!! It is a MUST-HAVE for any Nintendo DS owner! you will enjoy every second you spend playing it!

I love this game, it is really fun racing agaist all of the other characters! As you win tournoments you unlock more characters and you can race on more tracks!! I also love linking up with other people and racing against them, we all enjoy playing it! You can even link up even if your pals dont have the game, but you get more tracks to race on if the other person has the game aswell! I would recomend this to all mario lovers and to everyone else who is thinking about buying it!!!!!!!!!

A 5 star game without doubt! April 18, 2007
28 out of 30 found this review helpful

When my brother had Mario Kart DS for his N64 I was addicted to the "balloon" battle mode - and it was the first thing I played when I got my hands on this.

The DS version is, if anything, an IMPROVED version! Before you could only battle mode against other 'human' players, whereas now you can do battle against up to 7 CPU controlled players.

There are tracks galore and more to unlock, lots of different characters to choose from and again - more to unlock.

There are new weapons too and for each character you select you can choose different vehicles. Some are faster, some are easier to handle, etc. This makes this classic game bigger than ever before. Once you complete all the tracks in 50cc mode, you can move to bigger engines. You can also play with different characters, select a different car (there are several for each of the CC modes - each individual to the character you choose).

I have played over WiFi via the Nintendo WFC service, and I performed pathetically compared to the international super-players I pitifully tried to beat! But I'll improve!

I have also played the DS to DS two player mode with just one game cartridge (Download play) and this was phenominal! I was beaten this time round too by my good colleague Marc - but I'll soon get him back. You can play Battle mode this way too, which is great - as we both have a DS, but we only have one game card between us!

This looks and sounds fantastic on the DS. The touch screen allows you to change the track view which comes in handy on battle mode. Whether you want to spend a good session on your DS, or a few minutes - this game is perfect - and so much fun on your own, or with others.

Everything Mario Kart should be December 7, 2005
12 out of 13 found this review helpful

This is, without a doubt, THE best Mario Kart game, ever. Ever, ever.
If you liked any of the previous incarnations of Mario Kart, this game will blow you away.
There's a whole load of single player options, and just like all the over versions, there's Grand Prix (available in 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc), Time Trials, and Vs. For the first time, you can also play in Battle Mode with computer controlled characters.
However, while single player is a lot of fun, multiplayer is where this game really shines. Of course, there's the local wireless mode, and there's little that can beat playing against 8 other real people.
As well as this, this is the first game to utilise the Nintendo Wi-Fi service. If you have a wireless internet connection, setup is painless, and playing people across the world is quick and simple. There's a lot to be said for beating 3 random people in 4 consecutive races!

In short, BUY THIS GAME. It's 100% amazing in short bursts, hour long stints, by yourself, with others, online, and any other situation you can think of.

5 out of 5 stars Nintendo has a winner here! April 25, 2006

To put it short, it's a brilliant game! The Best Mario Kart game to be released since the original Mario Kart back on the SNES

Gameplay
Control of the karts are perfect. Its what you should expect from a Mario Kart game, proper control to win the race

Features
= 32 tracks (16 new and 16 classic)
= 8 cups to win in 4 different difficulties (32 in total)
= For the first time, battle mode with computer controlled characters (6 battle stages to choose)
= New Mission Mode (e.g. collect 30 coins in 15 seconds, beat this character, etc)
= VS (quick race)
= Multiplayer (DS - DS and WiFi)

Graphics
Best I've seen on a DS, better than the N64 Mario Kart game. Touch screen is used as a course map. There are 2 versions, a zoomed in map which show where objects are placed and there's a standard map, which shows the outline of the course

WiFi - NINTENDO's WINNER
Race against up to 4 people from various places around the world. Limited number of tracks to select, but there are some good ones to select (my personal favourite: Rainbow Road). The only negatives are people quiting the race halfway through, and some jumping around but the good points overshadow the negatives

Lifespan
Cups won't take too long to complete, but you still have mission mode to complete (make sure you get at least 1 star for every mission) and, of course the WiFi races

FINAL VERDICT
What's stopping you? Even if you don't have WiFi, you'll still have loads of fun, get it now!
