DS Download Play
As with all DS Download multiplayer games, the DS Download Play in Mario Kart DS requires that only one player has a copy of the game.

DS Download Play offers the following features: - 2-8 player simultaneous wireless game play.
- A choice of multiplayer racing, Balloon Battle, or Shine Runner modes.
- Players who own Mario Kart DS can choose their own characters and use personalized icons, while players who do not own Mario Kart DS must play as Shy Guy and cannot use personalized player icons.
- Track selection is limited to eight tracks for racing and three arenas for Balloon Battle and Shine Runner modes.
- DS Download Play is limited to the 100 cc engine class
Multi-Card Play
Multi-Card Play requires all players to have their own copies of Mario Kart DS, giving players more options, modes and tracks to choose from. Multi-Card Play offers the following features: - 2-8 player simultaneous wireless game play.
- Your choice of multiplayer racing, Balloon Battle, or Shine Runner modes.
- Players can choose from different engine classes.
- No limits on character choice.
- No limits on track choice.
- Player's win/loss ratio is saved and tracked.
- Players who race locally are automatically added to each other's friend roster and then can race via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
- Players can trade ghost data wirelessly, allowing them to race against each others' best times.
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection:
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is a free online game-play service provided by Nintendo to Nintendo DS owners. It offers seamless access to online game play and an environment that is welcoming to gamers of all skill levels. Features include: Whether it's the updated graphics that retain the side-scrolling feel of classic games in the Sonic franchise, an expansive world to race through and explore or the multiple and new ways to play, Sonic Unleashed offers something for players of any age or level of ability. - 2-4 players racing simultaneously.
- Choice of playing with:
- Friends only (players registered as Friends)
- Rivals (players with similar skills)
- Recent opponents
- Regional racers (players in their country)
- World racers (players anywhere in the world)
- No limit on course choice, but each player votes for a course and the course with the most votes wins (in case of a tie, the course is chosen randomly)
- No limit on character choice
- Players can create and use personalized player icons
Connecting to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will be quick, easy and seamless. Players can go to an official Nintendo hotspot and immediately go online and start playing. To use their home Wi-Fi routers, players first must configure the DS to connect to their routers by entering the router's network ID and optional security key or install the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector on their PC and configure the DS to enable it to share the PC's broadband connection. After that, players can go online anytime without further configuration. Friends are registered to the friends roster either by exchanging and entering Friend Registration Keys or by playing local Multi-Card Multiplayer mode together.

 A good "starter" game for the DS, for adults too! March 13, 2010
Katelin Hance (AZ)
As far as handheld gaming consoles go, I'm a newbie. I grew up with the original NES and SNES (which I still play on, and this January, I decided to go ahead and buy a DSi. Mariokart was the first game I bought to play, and I love it. I've always been a racing and platform gaming freak, so I was just drawn to it. I've had this game for about three months and I STILL love playing on it. There are tons of "unlockables" (courses, characters) and you can always go back and race again and try to beat your score. I've only played around with the multi-player aspect of this game once, but it seems to offer challenges and a lot more fun. If you're into the racing genre of games, and liked the previous versions of Mariokart, this is definitely worth checking out, I loved that they had different tracks from older versions of this game too! All in all, I think it was worth the money I paid for and will continue to enjoy this game.
 Fun! March 12, 2010

I bought this game for my 5 year old son to play on his DS Lite. He had gotten Super Mario Bros. and loved it so I thought Mario Kart would be the next logical game in the succession. It is a little harder for him to play so for those who are novices with the DS or very young like he is, expect some frustration. But for those who have a good handle on game play it falls in line with the rest of the classic Super Mario games.
Son Loves It March 6, 2010

My son has been waiting for a Mario game and I could not see paying 35.00 for one game. Amazon is the place to buy. My son loves the game. It was the right price. It came in just a few days. I purchase a lot of items off Amazon and have never been disappointed.
 If you like it in other formats, get it. March 4, 2010

My 6yr old got a dsi for his birthday but not this game. He couldn't wait to spend his birthday money on this game for the ds. He loves it on our N64 and he hasn't been disappointed with it on his dsi.
Mario Kart DS February 25, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Mario Kart, comes fully loaded with classic characters, a bunch of new tracks, and a wireless multiplayer mode that's to die for. With a veritable buffet of racers, courses, modes, and multiplayer options, Mario Kart DS is a must play for any Nintendo fan and a requisite for any DS owner.
