Grrr Mario Kart controls...

I love the game, and i want to play it but dammit Nintendo why don't you give me the opportunity to change the controls around!

I'm 20 years old and quite a big guy (6 foot 4) so the DS  Lite at best is difficult to hold comfortably in my hands but because of the MK controls the accelerate button is the 'A' button and so right next to the shoulder button which means i can't control it as i would want to and after just a few minutes i get cramp in my damn thumb and hand.

Does anyone else get this problem? And why the hell did Ninty give me the choice of changing the controls, would have been so difficult? I love the game but this is soo so so frustrating.

If only you had been born smaller poor child.  Perhaps your hands would resist the cramp that handicaps your ability to take control.  Perhaps the fatty DS would be better suited for your Mario Kart situation.  I'm 6 foot 2, and I'm all about the fatties (more cushioning, and they cook you breakfast).  Changing controls is a luxury, but sometimes you have to take control, and become a master-ghoster, so you can beat all the newbs on MKDS.  Godspeed my fellow gamer.
