Thread: Mario Kart DS

I aint into handhelds... except for my own private mr handheld

Awful game, it really is. The courses are bland, the music uninspired and the gameplay painfully slow.

I wish I'd gotten a good game Like Sonic Rush instead of this.

My freind code: 343661-520246

Also exchange lap times and progress information here. I've won all the cups in all the engine classes and beaten the staff ghost data on the figure 8 circuit, shroom ridge, bowser castle, rainbow road and GBA bowser castle 2.

Well, I just barely got this game a month ago, and I really am still only in the 100cc area (faster engine, tougher opponents)

Shows what you know!! I think this is an awesome game, and giving it a 9.0 says it all!!

Of course, I like Sonic Rush, too, but the only con is you can't be Tails, Knuckles, or Cream in this one like you could in the others. Only Sonic & Blaze, & only 2 players can play. Single player rox, though, I have to admit!

Different tastes I guess, I usually like Mario Kart, but this one just felt a little samey.

In a way, yes. I think it was probably kind of retro mixed w/Mario Kart 64 2 graphics.

Sonic rush is cool too, but like nesgirl says only two characters is a draw back. I'm up to but haven't beaten the final boss with both Blaze and Sonic, I think the boss is one of the hardest sonic bosses ever.

I like the new courses and the retro courses (most of them anyway), although I was disapointed when I found that yoshi's valley from the N64 wasn't on. I was glad that the steering and drifting hadn't changed too much. My first race was against a friend who got it before I did, I had to use the download play. It was a good race, since I was used to the controls and the retro courses I knew what I was doing. The look on his face when a an inexperienced player beat him was priceless. You say the music is uninspired, I haven't even heard the music yet since I've hardly ever stopped using my Ipod.

I have Mario Kart DS and I really like it. If anyone wants a race, my friend code is: 103144-104175.

I just got mario kart ds (lost my old one) and I was wonder if someone else had it along with wi-fi I'll give my friend code here:

047360
924127

Geez I havent played in a long ass time, ill get my friend code up in a few days. Do you guys snake, I couldn't really do it very well myself...

I've recently been playing KartRider which is a Korean MMO karting game. It sounds really bad, but it's done quite well.

As with any Korean free-to-play game, there are certain capitalistic tendencies, but you can ignore them and have a good time.

That said, you can go from 1st to 8th in one hit by a weapon. It does mean you can steal victories at the last second, though, which is hilarious.

I do snake, I got 1:29:200 on the figure 8 track, so far no one I've met online can snake, it took me only about 3 days to learn how, you just gotta do it over and over again, and even then I can't snake like the best in the world, the world record for that track is like 1:12: something.

I've heard of kartrider, I havn't yet played it though.

Those characters come out from another game produced from the same company, called Crazy Arcade. It's sort of a Bomberman clone, a MMOG as well... unfortunately the page is in Korean and is hard to find.
