Mario Kart DS

Mario Kart DS is, by far, THE best racing game on the Nintendo DS so far, and it's been out for over 2 years now!

Mario Kart DS is basically a classic arcade racer. There isn't a storyline, and you have the usual racing modes, like Championship, and V.S. (aka single race). However, you also have modes like Missions, which have you complete somewhat funny tasks with your Kart, and Kart Battle, which places you in a arena with other racers, in which you have to use various Mario Kart weapons, like Red and Green shells, etc.

Mario Kart DS, like other Mario Kart games, includes "classic courses" along with new ones. Classic courses are courses from past Mario Kart games. MK DS has courses from the SNES, N64, GBA, and Gamecube Mario Kart games.

My rating: 10.0/10

Mario Kart DS is arguably the best Mario Kart game so far. More characters, more courses, and even more weapons (expect a lot of multi-colored explosions!!).

Also, if you complete all of the championships with stars as your rankings, you unlock a character that will be familiar to many NES fans.... Let's just say he's pretty ..."mechanical"....
