    Mario Kart DS is one of the best racing games on a handheld.

    Mario Kart is a great game in every way and is an improvement from the past Mario Karts. Mario Kart is easy to learn and is created for many types of gamers.The Wifi support is just what the DS needs! Racing with people within your own region and even worldwide packs in the most difficult races you will ever experience! Mario Kart is loaded with newer and older tracks and the character selection is just right! Everything is pieced together well to make this game highly addictive. I give Mario Kart DS an 4/5 because there are a couple of things that could of been done to maximize gameplay. You can't race on all the tracks online, which sucks by the way, and mission mode is completely pointless when you can really have something else better, like competitions. You can only race up to 4 players when you should be able to really race against 8 on a wifi connection. Despite of the minor shortcomings that Mario Kart DS has, it's a game that will certainly be remembered by Mario Kart fans everywhere.

       It's quite a relief to know that Mario Kart got a proper release after the atrocious Double Dash. Everything in Mario Kart DS follows the formula of success introduced in the SNES days. Even though Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 still stand as the best releases on the series, and that hardly is ever going to change since the formula has been overused and a revolution is unlikely, this might be the best Mario Kart game aside those two. It's good to know that the two-characters per kart gimmi...
