Introduction

Mario Kart DS, a remake of the previous Mario karts, made for N64, and Gamecube. This game has many tracks from all of the Mario karts, and they have them combined in circuts now, for people to race, so they can race from the 64 tracks to the DS tracks, and racing with most of the characters from the mario kart games. As you go on you unlock characters, that you are able to race with and the characters diffrent karts, from all of the mario kart games. The tracks were remade, with the better graphics so it is much more fun to race at the tracks and with the new characters, and their karts, so you can expirience all of the mario kart games, in one. You do not use the stylist much for this game, but you do use the l and are buttons a lot if you are good and know what you are doing with this game. If you do not use these two buttons, that may explain why you are losing all the time. The game is one of the newer mario games, and was a big hit for DS sales, as a top selling game at one point. If you are a big mario and racing fan, then I would recomend you getting this game. You can make Luigi race a vacum cleaner, now that is some fun stuff right there.

 

Graphics

The graphics for this game have come a long way from the old mario games, when Mario was made by blacks, and the place he was playing at was flat and 2-d, now everything is 3-d, and everything is well made, and well re-made. Some of the tracks may look bad too you, but that was most likely becasue they were from the Nintendo 64 console, and they didn't want to make any changes to the track itself, so all they did, was re pixelize it, and make the graphics, a lot better then they ever were for a Mario game.The game's characters, are well made, and look very nice, where you tell the distinguishing features, that each charater posses. You can notice the lines on Bowzer's shell, and the colors of the spikes coming up from his shell. The graphics are some of the best I have seen for the Nintendo DS, and if you were to get this game you would most likely agree with me. The tracks, have very nice graphics, with the out of bounds areas, and at some tracks, they are well detailed, and even for the Nintendo 64 game tracks, those are well detailed as well.

 

Sound

The sound, has the characters yelling going wohoo, and then there are the mario songs while racing. I don't like the songs on here much, but they are better then some other games that I have played before. I recomend playing with the volume off because, they don't play many things with the sound on this game, all you here is them cheering, and some songs playing. The sound could be better on this game, like play some mario theme songs from Mario sunshine, or some other mario games. The sound, there is not much to tell about it, but like I said I would recomend you playing with out the sound, then you aren't being annoyed while you are racing and have to beat bowzer to win the curciut. Like all mario games, there is not much to the sound system of the game, because it will always have the old one song, or old sayings that mario and luigi have said over and over again in every mario game out there. They may want to tthink of more things for these characters to say, or a lot of people may get irritated from listening to those over and over again.

 

Gameplay

The gameplay of this game is very good. You have to be ab ig Mairo fan, and you have to love racing games in order to agree with me, although, you can just like Mario gamnes, and you can still like this game. With you able to knock other characters off of the road using bannana peels, or by hitting them with tutrle shells. The game is well made, and has been changed a lot from the Nintendo 64 mario kart version. With all of the tracks from all of the Mario Kart gamnes, the game is veryt fun to re races those tracks from your Nintendo 64, but have the tracks re mastered, so you can tell what is going on, and have a better racing expirience.

 

Lastability

The game will not last very long, if you are a good gamer, then this game will be beat in about a day, if you put an entire day into it. The tracks are very short, and with 3 laps a piece, they will not take long to beat them. The game does, have the onlin feature, which is very fun to race, people from across the world, and that is what you will most likely look forward to do, but you may want to play the normal game first then you will be able to get better karts for the online play, so you will do better against the good racers. The game also has some other gaming features, such as time trial, which in my oppinion is not very fun. It also has mission mode, which is not that hard, though it will give you something to do, if you are bored, and you have your DS. The game, does not get boering easy, because you will get eager to win the game while you are racing. There are only 4 tracks at each circuit, and with 4 curciuts in a full race, and with two races in each CC class, you only get 96 total races, which is a good number if you think about it. The game, is always fun, and you can always go back and re-race those tracks, and try to get better times, when you unlock better characters.

 

Overall

The oeverall of this game, I gave it a 8. The game is very fun, to race all of those old tracks, and those tracks from the Gamecue, all on a handheld system, but they could of added some more karts, or more curicuts, other then the 50cc 100cc and 150 cc races. The game other then that is quite fun, but in my oppinion too short, how other mario games are actually pretty long, and it takes you a little bit to beat them, this game you could beat in about a day, if you actually sat down, and started to play the game a lot, and was good at these types of games. The game, has the time trial, and mission mode features to it, but I don't like those kinds of things on games, because, you can't race other people, you have to race the clock, or do thigns that they tell you to do. The game has the online feature which is addicting, but it can get old after you have won over 1,000 races online with it, you can always switch up your characters, but that is not always fun to do. The game, may have another one affter this one, and hopefully that one will be a little longer, and more to do on that game. Other then the normal racing, tima trial, and battle, and mission mode.


Final Score: 76%
