It goes back to the basics of what made it such a great series without new twists that rip out the core of Mario Kart

If you remotely like mario or racing or own a DS..... GO HURRY TO EB AND BUY IT BECAUSE THEY'RE SELLING LIKE HOTCAKES! Whats a hot cake anyway? Mario Kart DS has all the bells and whistles, like being able to custom make your own racing symbol/ Avatar, Battle modes never seen on handheld mario kart, and Missions that havn't been seen in Mario Kart period. With the highest quality on a handheld, Nintendo didn't waste any effort on this game. They ported some of the best classic tracks to Grand Prix as well as new ones. Missions spice things up a bit and taking a hint from double dash, u can now unlock over seven Karts for each character, as well Karts for unlockable characters. (See Gamespot's Mario Kart DS hints and cheats section for a guide to unlockables) My only dissapointments was the dissapearance of special tracks that u could unlock after beating the Grand prix and the difficulty of connecting online. Overall this is the best game in the series and a must-have for your DS library. I was sucked into playing 9 hours the day I got it. Shoo shoo, of f to EB games with you.
