I got this game for my ''I LOVE MARIO CHARCTERS'' child. She would not stop playing it. She said'' daddy,watch this.It is awesome!'' So, I watched her. It had really good animations. She kept playing for the day, nearly. She finally said something. It looked really fun. She always plays Yoshi. When my mom got this for my daughter for christmas , I thought " oh brother!" Then, I saw she really liked it. She is a addicts, espically that day.
I wanted to bring it back because it was almost 40.00! My mom usally does this stuff. But,luckily is was a game she liked. So, It was a F.U.N game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MarioKart DS is fun for all ages May 5, 2008
Nintendo seems to have a niche for creating games that are fun for all ages. Mario Kart DS is no exception. Except for the cramping in my right hand from extended playing, I really have no complaints about this game. There are a varity of modes of gameplay to keep you interested. I love the drifting and drafting abilities as well as the classic Mario Kart weapons. In Time Trial mode, you actually race against your best time, complete with a "ghost image" replay of your old race. This allows you to compete against yourself. In Battle Mode, the balloon battles are the best. The other battle is Shine Runners where you have to steal shines from other players. Grand Prix and Vs modes are where I tend to spend alot of my time, which is classic Mario Kart racing complete with the slinging of banana peels, turtle shells, and many other Mario weapons. The music and graphics are great, and some of the courses are a real pleasure to look at. I normally do not like driving games because I cannot seem to stay on the track. I picked up on Mario Kart DS quickly, and once I got down the art of drifting through turns, I was hooked. I recommend this game for all ages.
Great fun April 21, 2008
I bought this for my sister, and she enjoyed it so much that I had to see what it was about. And now we race and go against each other and the other characters. Great game for one or more people. Love it!

I remember playing "Mario Kart 64" once with a neighbor's kids years ago. Not a big fan of racing games then, I had a lot fun with this game (especially with the Battle Mode) and I've been itching for a chance to experience the fun again. Now I can, any place, any time, thanks to "Mario Kart DS."
Still the undisputed king of handheld racing after its 2005 launch, "MKDS" seems to take the best of every game in the "Mario Kart" series and squeezes it all into that little game card, and sticking that nice label on it. Starting in Grand Prix mode, you choose from 3 engine classes, 8 racers, 2 karts, and 4 cups with 4 courses each. And then you're off! There are more cups, karts and racers hidden in the game but with no cheat codes to speak of, you'll just have to do things the old fashioned way. A map is provided on the touch screen in case you steer off course.
While a great gaming experience, you can only have so fun just racing while unlocking stuff. Fortunately, there's so much more to do in "MKDS." Aside from racing other players wirelessly or online, you can also enter an improved Battle mode with new arenas, including an old-school Nintendo DS. And then there's yet another mode that has you take on different "missions" to unlock more missions. To sum it all up, deciding whether or not this is a quality racing game for your DS, it's a no-brainer.
This game is rated E for Everyone: Mild Violence.
