Talk:Mario Kart DS

I know I worked this article the most, but, anyone else who helped, thanks! If you can think of anything else to improve, do it. 11:12, 2 January 2007 (EST)
 * In my opinion, the items section should be higher up in the article. Otherwise, it looks great!  Eric42 15:35, 2 January 2007 (EST)

Shy Guy picture
The picture of the shy guy is overlapping with the characters picture gallery (with a 1024*768 res). Any way to make it fit? --Cobold 13:20, 23 January 2007 (EST)
 * Ah, my 1280 X 1024 res made the pic too big. Is that better? 15:40, 23 January 2007 (EST)
 * Yep, I can see Yoshi now. Thanks. --Cobold 16:04, 23 January 2007 (EST)

Eight-person play
MK DS is not the first Mario Kart to feature 8-person play. Double Dash featured up to 16-person play in LAN mode. --Cobold

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 - 18:14, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
 * Looking at history, looks like I simply missed one initially in December 2006. Also, Litnin200, you're free to fix it. 18:16, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Picture in trivia section
Just a small question. The illustration of a emblem shown at the bottom of the screen appears to me not to be of Tamagon, but instead of Bub from the Bubble Bobble series of games. Just wondering if that caption needed to be changed. -Elias5891


 * Looks more like Bub to me, too. I vote change.

Son of Suns added that fact. I'll ask him to recheck the image, and I'll remove it if necessary. 18:10, 22 April 2007 (EDT)

Yes
What are those items that look like balls with spikes all aroudn them, and when thrown, they grow very big? A picture of them is on the Stickers page, somewhere in there...

Trivia
I think that trivia section should be removed. These things like emblems and such are some of the major features in game, not trivia! --Super Mario Whatever 16:34, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
 * Should be merged with the main article, yes. - 16:46, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

Why?
There are two Luigi curcuits in the leaf and shell cups on the cups table. Could someone please change this because i am not sure about it. Marioface 03:21, 25 September 2007 (EDT)
 * One, speak more clearly next time. Two, one is the GCN version the other is the GBA version, apparently.

# Of Karts
Hey... don't you start out with TWO karts, not THREE? It says three in the article.--Waluigi FTW 19:10, 3 January 2009 (EST)

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 - J-Yoshi64 (talk)

Hey, If you get so far into the game, you can let the characters have 36 karts to choose from! Don't believe me? Follow the link!!!!! 

-ToadBoy1999

Can we?
can we say how to unlock people? It would really help people (like me!) PLEASE!
 * Somebody could, but I can't, since I don't have the game.

It already mentions the requirements right under the unlockable characters gallery.-- 04:14, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Something Interesting
Does anyone notice that when in Download Play the Shy Guy is the same color as the player's menu color? I'd like to add this to trivia. Should I add it, not add it all, or add it somewhere else in the article?


 * This information is not true. I played several times with my sister on Mario Kart DS and Shy Guy changes color within each download play. My menu color is lime-green, yet I sometimes end up with a Black or Pink Shy Guy.

Yes. BabyLuigiOnFire is right. My brother's menu is blue, and he gets a lota different colours of Shy Guy. 20:29, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

Mission Level 7?
There isn't a "Level 7" in my game. Is it unlockable? If it is, how does one go about unlocking it? - J-Yoshi64 (Talk)
 * I think you have to get at least a star in every mission.
 * Well, that's never gonna happen! =P :( -J-Yoshi64

I would also like to know how to unlock mission 7, so I followed this link:gametipcenter.com/mario-cart-unlock-mission-7-in-mission-mode

Goofs
Why did you delete that? WikiofSmash 00:12, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

Reference to Paper Mario TTYD
Isn't the battle stage Twilight House a reference to Paper Mario TTYD's Twilight Town? The stage has a similar appearence to the area.

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?
 * The page was deleted because it was not how you do things. Also sign your comments with ~ Dr.Wario &#39;&#39;Perverse-When things are upside-down and you start to like them that way.&#39;&#39; 19:11, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

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? Hippopo (talk) Sure, why not? Toadbrigade5 (talk) 23:21, 23 September 2014 (EDT)
