|A-rating=3.5
|A-comment=Er... Its accurate. Yay.
|D-rating=3.0
|D-comment=Actually, there isn't a whole lot of depth for such a long article.
|G-rating=3.0
|G-comment=I found few mistakes, could use a ''little'' work there.
|I-rating=3.0
|I-comment=This article is OVERWHELMED with images. I suggest taking out a few.
|F-rating=3.0
|F-comment=Er... Its fine. Most of it. Again, the images throw it off a bit.
|FR-comment=I think the article could use a mite bit of work, but overall its fine.
|R-comment= Oh, what's this box for?

{{PAIRreview
|A-rating=3.5
|A-comment=Might need some tweaks in the item & mission mode (not table) section, but overall accurate.
|D-rating=3.0
|D-comment=In-depth article, but not too in-depth regarding the length.
|G-rating=1.5
|G-comment=Some grammar mistakes, many times reffering directly to the reader, point of views, exclamation marks. The Wi-Fi connection issues example lacks neutral point of view.
|I-rating=3.0
|I-comment=Number of images is reasonable, but some may not fulfill any purpose.
|F-rating=3.0
|F-comment=The WiFi and Download Play sections should appear in one block, but are separated by gameplay instructions. Karts table would need a legend.
|FR-comment=The article needs an overall review regarding you's and "deadly items". When a neutral point of view is reached, it can be perfect.

== Mission 3-1 Is Wrong ==


I have received information that the description for Mission 3-1 is incorrect. DBM11085 has a FAQ at www.gamefaqs.com that says the objective for Mission 3-1 is "Destroy all '''5 item boxes'''!" If someone could correct this article as soon as possible, that's be good. --[[User:Litnin200]]

:Wow – no idea how that got there. Maybe it was right before and someone changed it. I'll re-look up the mission ASAP and fix it – thanks - {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 18:14, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, you '''unlock''' the ability to choose among three karts. You start out with only two. e.g. [[Mario]] starts out with the [[B Dasher]] and [[Standard MR]] - [[User:J-Yoshi64|J-Yoshi64]] [[User Talk:J-Yoshi64|(talk)]]

== Mario Kart DS editing help ==
Hello? I am new to Super Mario Wiki and I am confused. I read the [[Introduction]] and [[Help]] but when I try to create [[Mario Kart DS]] glitches, I click 'here' in red letters, but I can't create the page! Can someone help me?{{unsigned|OiraM}}

If you press "talk" and if it says "create a page for Tails777", then you can make your own page on DS glitches. well, that's all i got!''''''
== Redirection Inconsistency ==
"MK1" through "MK8" each redirects to a corresponding Mario Kart game, except for "MK5". Should it be added for consistency? [[User:Hippopo|Hippopo]] ([[User talk:Hippopo|talk]])

== Mario Kart DS & Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection turned 10 years old today! ==
Today's Saturday, November 14, 2015 and Mario Kart DS & Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection turned 10 years old today! However, I was thinking that maybe we should have MKDS or Nintendo WFC as a featured article or something along those lines. --[[User:Jjrapper100|Michael]] ([[User talk:Jjrapper100|talk]]) 00:27, 14 November 2015 (EST)
== Stats from the guide ==
I have the NDS Pocket Guide, and it has a list of stats for the karts. I don't know how the stats listed on the wiki were approximated, but they generally match up, except that the guide (mostly) rounds to the nearest unit. However, it also lists a sixth stat: weight. I don't know if this is useful, but I can post the full list of stats if someone asks for them. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
== Delfino Square staff ghost? ==
The article says the Delfino Square staff ghost is 1:53:921, but I find it to be 1:54:601. Is there a different version or is this a mistake? [[User:Buge|Buge]] ([[User talk:Buge|talk]]) 00:36, 6 March 2016 (EST)
== Standard Kart Pictures ==
The pictures for the karts Standard Bowser, Standard Dry Bones, Standard Donkey Kong, Standard Daisy, Standard Luigi, Standard Peach, Standard R.O.B., Standard Toad, Standard Waluigi, and Standard Yoshi need to be added in the [[Mario Kart DS#Karts|Karts]] section. {{User:TheUnknown67/sig}} 12:31, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
:My sister had tried to get pictures for the Standard Karts, but the models didn't have any textures aside from Mario's kart. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:13, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
::yeah true. I could try ripping other Standard Kart textures with 3D Ripper DX. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 18:32, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
==Karts Section incomplete?==
- It should mention that each of a character's three Karts will have a similar stat balance (i.e. their stats will be comparable)
- It says Dry Bones has the best turning curve, but it's his Karts that have it (same with Drift and Weight, but not the other three stats)
- "Acceleration: The time the kart's top speed is achieved when accelerating" is grammatically incorrect and slightly confusing
- Potentially mention that all the standard karts share the same texture and model, and only change their color (perhaps also specify the color)
- Point out that the Standard SG is effectively identical to the Standard YS, and is probably the exact same kart

== B Dasher in MKWii ==
Isn't the B Dasher in MKWII? if so should it be added? [[Special:Contributions/98.18.22.79|98.18.22.79]] 09:55, 24 November 2017 (EST)
:The B Dasher only appears in ''Mario Kart DS'', ''Mario Kart 7'', ''Mario Kart 8'', and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', though the [[Sprinter]] is its successor and is referred to as the "B Dasher Mk 2" in some regions. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 10:13, 24 November 2017 (EST)
== 20 race tracks online only? ==
Which 12 racing tracks are excluded from online racing in Maro Kart DS? --[[Special:Contributions/84.147.36.60|84.147.36.60]] 11:06, 9 October 2018 (EDT)
:They can be found on the course table. Those without the asterisk means they couldn't be raced online. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 11:42, 9 October 2018 (EDT)
== Game crash observations ==
The game crashes if:
* More than 4 fake item boxes (only reachable using cheats)
* Multiple consecutive lightnings (also requires cheats)

== Kart stats in battle mode ==
After some tests in battle mode using two DSs, I have found the following:
* Most (if not all because I don't have ROB yet) characters have a mini-turbo that lasts roughly half a second.
* Some characters have better acceleration than others.
* They might even have better handling in some cases but I'm not really sure.
I've also noted that there are some 'Unknown karts' in the In-Game Statistics section. I have a feeling they could be the stats used in battle mode because
1. They have 35 frames of mini-turbo (which is roughly half a second)
2. There's 13 of them. Possibly one for every playable character + shy guy.
That being said, I have no idea how to actually confirm this myself, so I was wondering if there's anyone on here who can.
- The Evil Dr. Birdy (10/02/2020)
:This would effectively explains what are those karts, that’s very interesting! In the tables of this page the drivers are in the same orders they have in the game data, so these Battle Mode karts will have the same driver order of these tables. Can you please make some additional checks using this information? Weight and Acceleration are the easiest to check (keep in mind the contribution of driver weight), so maybe start with those.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 06:47, February 10, 2020 (EST)

== Mario Kart Tour ==
Can we add a section on Mario Kart Tour to the "references in later games" section? --[[User:Jacklavin|Jacklavin]] ([[User talk:Jacklavin|talk]]) 11:32, May 23, 2020 (EDT)
== Online Play ==
Online Play for MKDS is still possible, just not with WFC. Wiimmfi supports MKDS {{unsigned|24.77.141.33}}

== Beta courses and "Mario Kart Mega" ROM hack ==
In 2011, a ROM hack called "Mario Kart Mega" was created, which claims to reveal hidden beta courses. Surviving YouTube videos which feature it are [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyuqfmHwM-Q "MKDS- deleted courses"] from June 2011 and [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tvhes6c9PPU "mario kart mega nds"] from June 2012. The latter shows the title screen, which mentions the name of [[User:Spyrosbiggestfan5678]]. Just sharing for anyone interested.

:We don't cover unofficial hacks, and for future reference talk pages are not the place to share this. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 19:53, March 31, 2022 (EDT)
:: I see, though the tracks themselves were allegedly created by Nintendo themselves. They are just hidden. [[User:Gordon E.|Gordon E.]] ([[User talk:Gordon E.|talk]]) 19:56, March 31, 2022 (EDT)
:::To be more precise: posting about unused content that is yet to be covered in talk pages is fine, even if it involves links to YouTube videos; however when it comes to unused courses I think we should rather rely on [[tcrf:Mario Kart DS/Unused Courses|what was covered by The Cutting Room Floor]], as it's a more reliable source.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 04:24, April 1, 2022 (EDT)
== Shroom Ridge Reference to Giant Land ==
I'm pretty sure the hills and trees in the background of [[DS Shroom Ridge]] are based on [[Giant Land]] from the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They may look like ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', but I've checked, and the trees still lean towards SMB3. What do you guys think about it?
