I suggest not playing Mario Kart Double Dash and then going straight to this version, it seems lacking.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Mario Kart series, it just seems this was a let down and a huge price to pay for it.
With the MK:DD you could have 2 characters and throw items in front and behind you, by your own choice. Have huge multiplayer battles and hell of alot more. All this game has is a small number of characters, 30+ tracks and that's about it. I didn't think it was a good addition to the series, not only but it's difficult to control and fire weapons when your driving with your DS.
All in all, if your a fan of the series, buy it. If not, wait for Double Dash 2. I know I am.
mario kart's just alright

This is a great game and im surprised they made a mario kart game for DS. Here are my +s and -s about the game
(+)
*Extremely fun
*New characters
*new mission mode
*Wi-fi connection
*New tracks
*Retro Tracks
(-)
*Wi-fi connection only 65 ft.
*took away characters from double dash(Toadette, Koopa, ParaTroopa, Boo, Petey pirhana, babies)
*CPU karts in 150 cc are too challenging
Overall i would advise you to buy this game but wait until the price drops.
Classic

My kids love it. The fact that a two player option is available without needing to buy another copy is great,and they don't look like they will be getting tired of it anytime soon. I highly recommend it!
Great game

Great game
Pros: Great Missions
Great Graphics
Great Maps and Characters
Awesome Multi(Only need one game card)
I have to at least come up with one con and it is only that you can be one character when you donwnload the game but it is understandable because it would take all day.
Great game I reccommend it to everyone
Cons
flawless

In the video game world, it is very rare to make a perfect product. Countless hours must be spent perfecting every character, every environment, to strict specifications. There have been few developers who have proved themselves capable of making such a product. At long last, the gaming gods have given us another peek at gaming nirvana with the latest incarnation of nintendo's popular mario kart series. The improvements made to this game are almost too many to list, but here are a few. There is a new mission mode that gives drivers objectives to complete instead of just winnign a race. While the objectives are simple, they are still fun. You can also play battle and VS modes by yourself now, with intelligent computer controlled karts as your opponents. Even more significant, you can now have teams. This is, in my openion, the most significant change to the MK series. But, if you get tired of playing by your lonesome, you can play wireless multiplayer, or even better, play anyone, anywhere, over the internet. Add in the fact that MKDS has almost twice as many tracks as MKDD for gamecube, and you've got a classic on your hands. As i slowly but surely lose interest in other DS games, this one will almost surely remain in that slot.
Graphics: 10/10- The karts and environments look excellent, but still not quite as good as Super Mario 64 DS.
Sound: 10/10- Nintendo has proven itself capable of crafting fun, catchy tunes, and this game is no exception.
Control: 10/10- Perfect. It could be even better than MKDD's.
Entertainment: 10/10- This is definatly the best Nintendo DS game yet.
Overall, MKDS gets a 10/10
Grrreat!
