Quanta raiva se pode passar quando um casco azul bem na última curva arruína uma corrida quase perfeita?

Essa pode ser a síntese de minha experiência com Mario Kart DS. Apesar de o jogo ser ótimo em quase todos os aspectos, gostaria aqui de ressaltar o que eu menos gostei: a dificuldade desbalanceada. Por exemplo, nos 50cc você vence as copas sem praticamente nenhum perrengue, em 100cc já é perceptível a mudança e a necessidade de um foco maior, mas em 150cc (incluindo a versão Mirror), é quase impossível vencer todas as corridas de uma única copa.
Mas, no geral, é um jogo muito bom e até hoje é meu MK predileto.

Used to beat everyone in the school bus

Je donnerai tout pour revenir a l'époque des parties local entre potes en primaire

This was my first Mario Kart game. It's a banger. Everything I hate about the previously releases were fixed with this title. The driving feels smooth and fun to control, especially the drifting which is now thankfully color coded to let the player know when to release. Not to mention, the maps get a huge improvement! Also the battle mode in arena was simply sublime. This is the standard by which I judge every Mario Kart game 2. I must say nothing has surpassed this Mario Kart by any means.

The game that I'm most bummed about when I think about not having a DS in middle/high school. It's hard to overstate just how big of a phenomenon MKDS was for taking the series online. As far as older entries go, MKDS holds up great my top spot for best entry pre-MK8 is a tie between this one and MK7.


Mario Kart DS brings the frantic energy of the series to handheld, delivering a solid kart racing experience on the go. Featuring a mix of classic and new tracks, a good character roster, and the debut of online play for the series, it's a must-have for Mario Kart fans. While its visuals might feel dated, the core gameplay remains addictive, and features like Mission Mode add unique single-player challenges.

Chain-chomp is an opp whenever I play Peach's garden map.

Un classique sur Nintendo DS et des heures de fun en multijoueur.

When I went on a long bus trip to London, a bunch of buds brought their DS with them and we all had a blast playing this through download play. It’s one of the best gaming memories I have and it was tons of fun!

Besides the splendid memories, the game itself is also just quite impressive on the DS, and that mission mode is still unique to this entry! A great time.

Playing this while traveling was the shit
