One day, a younger me went to Argos with his mum, to get Mario Kart DS. Possibly because he had done well at school.
He left, however, with a copy of Cars Maternational, as said mum had balked at the price of Mario Kart DS, and had gotten this as a cheaper alternative.
Honestly? Bitterness aside, it's actually a perfectly decent game. It has a lot of variety for visuals - a level in a cave with night vision, a mountain, a cornfield, a stadium, etc. - and there's secret shortcuts you can find which reward you with unlockables, such as new characters and alternate paintjobs for your cars.
There was also different types of race, such as elimination rounds, races against rival characters, alongside your typical grand prixs - so don't let the fact it's a Mario Kart 'clone' fool you, as it actually does quite a bit different.
