 A 5 star game without doubt! April 18, 2007

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.
Mario Kart DS - The Best Racing Game For DS! April 17, 2006

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 IT!!!!!! June 30, 2007

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!!!!!!!!!
 Well worth a look if you own a DS November 20, 2005

At last! A DS game that is truly worthy of the hardware. Mario Kart DS is a slick and polished racing game that will appeal to any DS owner. It has almost everything from possibly the best graphics on the DS (on a par with Super Mario 64 DS)to online wireless internet multiplay (if your PC has broadband and Wifi)and the gameplay and presentation is the best I've seen on the DS so far.You get plenty for your money as there are many modes, characters and karts to unlock as well as new courses and a replayability thats so good I can easily see myself coming back to this game again and again for literally years to come. Any negatives in this game? Not a lot really. You'll miss out a little if you don't have a friend with a DS to play muliplayer wirelessly or if you don't have broadband to play people across the world but the single player is more than entertaining enough. Also one or two of the courses are a little plain in design and a bit boring to ride through. But with over 20 tracks to race on I am being very picky. This really is a revolutionary game with its Wi-fi capabilities. Go out and get it.

I got this game with the DS, so I didn't think it would be that good. I was wrong. The game has spectacular graphics, you can control the Karts easily and I was never bored. I recommend this game strongly, though it takes a few minutes to get into.
