![]() The Virtual Console version is only playable in single-player mode. On April 23, 2015, Mario Kart DS became available for purchase for the Wii U's Virtual Console service via the Nintendo eShop. The game also makes use of the Nintendo DS's features, using the bottom screen to display other HUD elements such as two types of maps, character order, and what items their opponents have. Mario Kart DS has its own mechanics that are not available in other Mario Kart games, such as customizing emblems for the vehicles, and the Missions mode, in which racers are tasked to complete objectives in a short series of events. As of May 2014, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection has been discontinued, making online play no longer possible. Mario Kart DS supports both single pak and multi-pak gameplay via DS Download Play, and is the first Mario title to support Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, allowing players to race against opponents by using online services across the world. Mario Kart DS expands and introduces mechanics that would later become the standard in future titles, most notably the Retro Grand Prix, and the advent of retro courses in general, that revamps tracks from all previous titles from the Mario Kart series. It is the first handheld Mario Kart title to use live-rendered 3D graphics for most of the objects in the game, including characters, vehicles, and racetracks. Unlike its predecessor, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, it retains the traditional single-driver kart racing elements in the Mario Kart series, where players race against seven competitors in obstacle tracks, using item-based weaponry to gain further advantages over their opponents. Mario Kart DS was released first in North America, in November 14, 2005, and is the only mainstream Mario Kart game to be released first in North America. This is not the infamous and feared "guru meditation error."Mario Kart DS is a racing game part of the Mario Kart series for the Nintendo DS, developed and published by Nintendo. As if it costs effort to write a few words of feedback! As always, many rush to grab, but no one steps up to give. I note with much regret and disappointment that no one has confirmed or refuted what I wrote based on their experience. Last update and final thought: After testing it extensively I confirm that it crashes rarely (less than 5%), only before loading the next track, and during transitional black screens. I'm waiting for others to report their experience in this regard. □Ģnd update: After finishing 30+ tracks only three more times the game froze after crossing the finish line and after the partial ranking, having immediately pressed the A button instead of letting the demo run for a while as usual. It may have something to do with my shoddy r4 or microSD (Sandisk 8gb) instead. ![]() The only thing I've done is copy again the rom from PC to microSD, and change the sound from surround to stereo. So far no more freezing on black screens. Update: I replayed the Shine Cup this time finishing it with no problems. I imagine they will be the finishing touches to a true masterpiece. Too bad Bell Cup and Marble Cup aren't finished, but if the names are there I guess the respective tracks are in the works. ![]() ![]() I recommend it to everyone and I suggest you to play directly the 150cc category if you want a real challenge, compelling and demanding: the other two are too ridiculously simple (after falling off the track 1 or 2 times you still manage to win, which is ridiculous) and can satisfy only kindergarten children. ![]() A photo of these two I suppose is futile, or am I wrong? □Īnyway I'm going to test the game thoroughly, and I'll do it very gladly: it's really wonderful and addictive, and has restored vitality and vigor to my dear, old DS Lite. Just the usual 2 black screens between tracks, only in this case they remain fixed. I repeat that I am using a DS Lite with an r4GoldPro. This is not the infamous and feared "guru meditation error." ![]()
