The only other Mariokart I've played is the one for the 64, but I got hooked on that fast--and this one's even better! You start with only four available races in three different difficulty levels, but each time you win you unlock new racetracks, characters, and karts, which keeps you hooked, wanting to see what comes next. If you love mario OR racing, you'll love this game. The only downside is its replay value--once you've unlocked all the characters and carts, it gets a little boring since you have nothing to do but try to beat your top scores. But even then it's still fun to pick up here and there when you have ten minutes to kill.
It's great fun to play against other people who have the game too. I've only tried this feature a couple times but it's great!
F.U.N FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this game for my ''I LOVE MARIO CHARCTERS'' child. She would not stop playing it. She said'' daddy,watch this.It is awesome!'' So, I watched her. It had really good animations. She kept playing for the day, nearly. She finally said something. It looked really fun. She always plays Yoshi. When my mom got this for my daughter for christmas , I thought " oh brother!" Then, I saw she really liked it. She is a addicts, espically that day.
I wanted to bring it back because it was almost 40.00! My mom usally does this stuff. But,luckily is was a game she liked. So, It was a F.U.N game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember playing "Mario Kart 64" once with a neighbor's kids years ago. Not a big fan of racing games then, I had a lot fun with this game (especially with the Battle Mode) and I've been itching for a chance to experience the fun again. Now I can, any place, any time, thanks to "Mario Kart DS."
Still the undisputed king of handheld racing after its 2005 launch, "MKDS" seems to take the best of every game in the "Mario Kart" series and squeezes it all into that little game card, and sticking that nice label on it. Starting in Grand Prix mode, you choose from 3 engine classes, 8 racers, 2 karts, and 4 cups with 4 courses each. And then you're off! There are more cups, karts and racers hidden in the game but with no cheat codes to speak of, you'll just have to do things the old fashioned way. A map is provided on the touch screen in case you steer off course.
While a great gaming experience, you can only have so fun just racing while unlocking stuff. Fortunately, there's so much more to do in "MKDS." Aside from racing other players wirelessly or online, you can also enter an improved Battle mode with new arenas, including an old-school Nintendo DS. And then there's yet another mode that has you take on different "missions" to unlock more missions. To sum it all up, deciding whether or not this is a quality racing game for your DS, it's a no-brainer.
This game is rated E for Everyone: Mild Violence.

I got this for my 7 year old son and he loves it. I would say it is his second favorite game to play on his DS. It isn't a complicated game which makes it a good starter game for kids who are just starting out playing a DS. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was because he beat the game faster than I thought he would. With that said he still enjoys playing it and always has a blast when playing multiplayer with his friend who also owns it.
Greatest Ever
