I got this game in 2005 and really liked it but, when I beat it, I thought it was short and easy. I don't play it very much now but I love the Wi-Fi! If you like Mario Kart and like the DS Wi-Fi, than you will like this game. Well, I think the Wi-Fi play is 5 star but, the only thing bad about the Wi-Fi is some people just quit in the middle of a race, But overall this is a great game!

Fun -- but could be better

I got this because of the great reviews and because I have enjoyed playing this game in the past. The game is a lot of fun. However, once you have played all the races (even the unlocked ones), it can get kinda boring after a while. I wish there more more races/characters to unlock for more variety. I finished the game in less than a week. Now I hardly play it anymore and am thinking of selling it since it's not as much fun anymore.

This game is essential in the DS library. Being able to take this game on the go is phenomenal.

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.

Great for Grown-ups Too

Just to add another perspective to the many reviews, I'm over fifty, and I've never played a racing game before -- or any of the classic Nintendo video games, for that matter. I bought this one only because of the high ratings and rave reviews. And I'm glad I did!

I've never been much into real-time games, frankly, but I've always liked having one around as a change of pace. Back when home computers were a novelty, I found the occasional Red Baron (a WWI flight sim) game refreshing after many hours of playing chess or turn-based games like Civilization.

That's just why I bought Mario Kart -- as a periodic change of pace from turn-based DS games like Advance Wars, Chessmaster, and Age of Empires. And it fills the bill perfectly. Maybe a little too perfectly, since Mario Kart is often my first choice nowadays.

I was worried that my aging reflexes might not be up to a game like this, but it turns out I can handle it. There are three speeds to choose from, and the slowest is challenging but quite manageable. I'll never master the game, but I can keep my cart on the track most of the time, and I've enjoyed my share of victories.

The race itself is spiced up with various items you can use to either enhance your own performance or interfere with your opponents' progress. And I find this a nice balance. You don't always have the speed or agility to win a straightforward race, but you can sometimes use the items to triumph anyway. Yeah, it's "dirty pool," but it's all in fun. And I think I'd probably lose interest in a straightforward racing game.

The variety of drivers, carts, and tracks (some of which have to be unlocked via skillful play) make for long-term enjoyment. This game does not soon get to where you feel it's the same thing over and over again. Some of the tracks are very challenging indeed, especially at higher speeds.

Anyhow, Mario Kart is lots of fun for young and old alike. One of the best purchases I've made for the DS. No regrets.

Perfect for young kids

The ability for two or more kids to play from one game makes this a great addition to your Nintendo DS collection.

This if fun and family-friendly. I can't say anymore that hasn't already been said in the five-star reviews.
