The classes serve as difficulty levels-the higher the engine class, the faster all karts go. The Grand Prix and Versus modes require that the player choose an engine class from among 50 cc, 100 cc, and 150 cc. The game features five single-player game modes: Grand Prix, Time Trial, Versus, Battle, and Mission.
However, it is also possible in 100cc, but only on tracks such as N64 Frappe Snowland, where the terrain is more slippery. Furthermore, this trick is mainly only possible in 150cc or Mirror Mode. This requires precise timing, and it is one of the most difficult skills to acquire in the game. This can be done by releasing the mini-turbo right before the Spiny Shell hits the player. Unlike the other versions of Mario Kart, Mario Kart DS allows players to avoid the Spiny Shell (Blue Shell) without any aid from items. There are two new items: the Bullet Bill, which transforms the player into a Bullet Bill that autopilots the track and the Blooper, which squirts ink on all racers ahead of the user, blocking their vision. Some items allow the player to attack other racers to slow them down, while other items can be used to speed up the player's own kart to pass other racers more easily. The bottom screen can be toggled to show either an overview of the entire course, or a bird's-eye view of the player's kart and the immediate vicinity, including nearby racers, course hazards, item boxes, and incoming attacks.Įach course features item boxes that the player can drive through to receive a randomly selected item, which the player can use to gain an advantage over other racers. While racing or battling, the Nintendo DS's top screen offers a third-person perspective of the player's kart, while the bottom touchscreen shows the race's current standings, items carried by each racer, and a map of the course. An additional kart can be unlocked once some progress is made, and when all 150cc cups are completed with B rank or higher, each character will have access to all 36 karts. Only two karts are initially available for each character. The player has access to Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, and Bowser by default, while Daisy, Dry Bones, Waluigi and R.O.B can be unlocked through gameplay. Mario Kart DS is a racing game in which the player races in a kart against other racers as one of 12 characters from the Mario series. Item boxes are in front of him, and the bottom screen shows a bird's-eye view of the immediate vicinity. Overall, Mario Kart DS is the third best-selling game for the Nintendo DS as of March 2016, and the third best-selling Mario Kart game, behind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Wii, with 23.6 million units sold worldwide. Mario Kart DS was the best-selling game in its first month of release, and also held that position the following month. Mario Kart DS received several awards, including Editors' Choice Awards from GameSpot and IGN, G-Phoria 's Best Handheld Game award, and IGN's Best Racing/Driving Game. Praise focused on the game's graphics and gameplay, while criticism targeted its repetitive single-player mode, although its inclusion of Battle and Versus mode for single player were well received. The game received critical acclaim, receiving an aggregated score of 91% from Metacritic. Like the other games in the series, Mario Kart DS features characters from the Mario series, and pits them against each other as they race in karts on tracks based on locations in the Mario series.
