Mario Kart DS

From The DS Ultimate Wiki

Mario Kart DS is the latest handheld edition of the popular Mario Kart franchise, and one of the most popular and long lasting Nintendo DS wifi games. It came out on the 25th November 2005, and is often seen as one of the most hardcore orientated games in the series thanks to the inclusion of 'snaking' as a common technique and more advanced strategies such as Prolonged Rocket Boosting. It also brought forth a whole community of clans and wifi sites set up to play games against each other, and a lot of emblem creators.

[edit] Items

Mario Kart DS has the same classic items as found in many of the games dating back to Mario Kart 64, and adds two new items to the fray. The items are:

Banana

A banana peel you leave on the ground which causes karts to spin out.

Triple Bananas

Three bananas which can be dragged behind the kart and left all over the track.

Green Shell

A green shell which can be fired in a straight line to hit karts and cause them to tumble. It bounces off walls.

Triple Green Shells

Three shells which spin around the kart and act just like normal green shells when fired.

Red Shell

A homing shell which homes in on and hits the player in front.

Triple Red Shells

Three red shells which acts just like the Triple Green Shells but with homing abilities.

Fake Item Box

A fake ? box that can be placed on the road for opponents to hit and crash into.

Mushroom

A mushroom that when used, gives a short 70mph speed boost.

Triple Mushrooms

Three mushrooms with the same effect as a single one. Given in time trials as well.

Star

Makes your character invincible to attacks by other players and enemies, and allows you to ram other characters to flip them over. Also increases speed and decreases off road traction.

Blue Shell

A blue spiny shell which homes in on the guy in first place and blows them up.

Lightning Bolt

A Lightning Bolt that when used, makes thunder come from the sky and shrinks all opponents, making them slower and lighter. They return to normal size in an order depending on their rank.

Boo

A ghost which allows the character to become invisible and also steals one item from a randon opponent.

Blooper

Covers the screens of all opponents with ink. The ink can be washed off by going over a zipper, getting an invincibility item or going into a cannon.

Bullet Bill

Turns the player into an invincible, auto piloted Bullet Bill which zooms around the track and knocks over any characters in it's way.

Golden Mushroom

Allows an infinite amount of mushroom boosts in a small amount of time for super speed.

[edit] Mission Mode

A new addition to Mario Kart DS is the mission mode, a kind of single player 'story' mode for Mario Kart. Here, you had to play as various characters and complete various tasks, which ranged from collecting coins and driving through gates to out racing an enemy or defeating a classic Mario boss. The mission bosses were:

• Big Bully
• Eyerok
• Goomboss
• King Boo
• Big Bob-omb
• Chief Chilly
• Wiggler

Wiggler and levels 7 were accessed via getting at least one star on all the prior missions. However, apart from a credits sequence, beating the mission mode finals did not actually result in any new prizes, regardless of what rank you got.
