Mario Kart DS review:
It is, however, possible to draw emblems to adorn the karts, so there is at least one means of making your mark. We've seen pixellated penises, shameless plugs for websites and all sorts. Indeed, it's a gallery in the palm of your hand.

Mario Kart DS review:
In the last review of the year, Gaz reviews Nintendo's pure-and-simple handheld racer. It's not spoiling the article too much to reveal that this is essential gaming. See you in 2006!

Mario Kart DS review:
I really like that the LAN option allows you to play a stripped down version with only one cartridge. Even more exciting for the hardcore fans, the game features retooled tracks from the SNES, GBA, and GameCube versions. While I’d love to see the series move forward, this title is an excellent tribute to it heritage.

Mario Kart DS review:
The sound effects are typical with music and stupid character voices the order of the day. Mario Kart DS is a must have game for the Nintendo DS and is possibly even good enough to make you go and buy a DS unit for it. Nintendo have really managed to put together an extremely fun game and with the online options, the Nintendo DS really does house the best Mario Kart game ever.

Mario Kart DS review:
If you’re a long-time fan of the series, you’ll find enough new content to keep you entertained for hours on end. And if you’re new to this quirky, yet engaging genre, you’ll begin to wonder what kind of cave you’ve been living in all this time.

Mario Kart DS review:
The polygons are really put to good effect here, as everything simply looks great. The karts are well detailed, true to style, and fun to use. Old tracks are brought up to modern standards with just enough polish, while new tracks look absolutely amazing. The maps are absolutely huge and detailed, and not a single track sticks out as a lesser quality design.

Mario Kart DS review:
Some of these seem simple, but when you try and get a three-star rating on all of them, you'll be putting in some real hours. And again, there's never frustration, just the knowledge that you can do it if you can just take the corner smoothly, or just nudge Mario off the road. When you do succeed, it's an awesome feeling. Additionally, the missions ...

Mario Kart DS review:
However, the only downside to the controls is that you may struggle to find a spare finger to touch the screen (switching map modes), and the Y button is too far out of reach to press when you've got your thumb on the accelerator. However, switching the map is something that is done very rarely during the game, so this doesn't really have any effect on the gameplay at all.

Mario Kart DS review:
This game is perfect for veterans of the series with online access or people new to the series since everyone else will get a lot of Déjà vu moments while playing. Definitely a recommended buy for fans and non-Mario Kart fans alike. Author: Jared Thorbahn aka: thorbahn3

Mario Kart DS review:
The missions mode offers up six levels of hardcore challenges, such as collecting a set number of coins or pulling of certain number of power-slide turbos on a lap. Achieving the highest ranking throughout this mode will truly test your Mario Kart mettle to the absolute max. It's a great addition to the game and adds a definite "Nintendo-y" feel.

Mario Kart DS review:
The art of holding a weapon behind your kart as a last line of defence has also benefited, as the map gives slightly more time when a red-shell is homing around the corner and riding up your back, though some could say it detracts from the blind-skill needed in previous titles. Page 1 of 4 //

Mario Kart DS review:
Sound: 9/10Superb usage of the Nintendo DS’s Simulated Surround. Fantastic songs – different for every single track… …only hindered by slight compression problems in small areas. Replay Value: 10/10With so many different modes this was a no-brainer. You’ve got missions, bot supported battle modes, wireless online play… Let’s just say you’ll be playing the one over and over again.

Mario Kart DS review:
This is best game in the series by far, and perhaps the best kart-style racing game ever to come along. Every second you spend playing the game is done so with a smile and an aching thumb – hallmarks of a true classic. So what are you waiting for? Design your decal, pick your racer and start your engines. I’ll see you at the finish line.
