Mario Kart DS (U)(SCZ) ROM

Debating whether Mario Kart would return in the form of Mario Kart DS was a given, gamers everywhere had enjoyed the creative ideas that surround the series. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Wario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and all your other favourites return racing side by side.
The items are far more balanced this time round, with most items not bringing you to a sudden two second stop. Everything you've come to expect from the series such as Grand Prix racing, time trials, battle modes, are here - but now with many more!
There are challenges you'll look to conquer that make appearance in the form of a campaign mission mode - complete with its own final bosses and hidden unlockables. This makes for a highly entertaining game, that will always have something fun for you to do. If you get stressed on the challenges, blow off some steam on a nice cruise through Baby Park - yes it returns - as do many other classic tracks from previous games. Get out there, start your engine's this is not to be missed!

Another Mario Kart game. You can use things such as bananas, turtle shells and even bombs to deteriorate your rivals' lap times, or you can try to knock them out in the battle mode. You can actually play battle against the computer now.

It's probably one of my favourite DS games.

This game was AMAZING! It kept the same features of Mario Kart 64 and only enhanced! The controls are a bit more difficult, but that probably has partly to do with having to use the control pad versus the control stick, but otherwise this game is great. 
There's waaayyyy more courses than the previous Mario Kart's. They have 16 new tracks and then there's a retro series featuring racetracks from all of the older games as well! They kept the battle mode from Mario Kart 64, and added a new game called Shine Runners, as well as different challenges that you have to go through (collect coins within a time limit, make so many turns a certain way, etc.)
All-in-all, this game was great. And I'd highly recommend it to anyone that would like to try the best racing game ever made!

Mission mode is an excellent addition to the series. The single player grand prix was getting a little stale just on it's own. The ai is quite excellent - it's not the horrible elasticband stuff from mk 64. I have 1 minor gripe about the entire game. When off the track, the sand/mud/grass slows you down way too much. It kind of takes away from the authenticism of the retro tracks since none of the other games had it. Offroading is too punishing, but doesn't prevent mk ds from being an outstanding game.

Not only is the great Mario Kart series being put to a handheld again, but it's the first in the series to go on wifi. This gives you the chance to verse random players or even your friends. Mario Kart DS comes packed with not only a big cast of racers but a huge cast of karts to choose from. Not only that, but the game also holds some of the best courses that I have ever seen. It would be wise to get this game.
