== What does DS stand for? ==
Acoording to Nintendo.com, DS can also stand for Dual Screens. The FAQ of the website says:
To our developers, it stands for "Developers' System," since we believe it gives game creators brand new tools which will lead to more innovative games for the world's players.
It can also stand for "Dual Screen."
Perhaps you can mention that in the article?

As you can see, the 3DS has its own page, while the DSi hasn't. As the name says, both are part of the 3DS series, and none of them is a "minor" update to the series (the DS Lite is), so, for consistency, both should have its own pages, or both should be in this page.<br>

I personally think that the 3ds has no place on this page.  It is not a "remake" of the DS, like the Gamecube is not a remake of the N64.  I say to delete this info, or edit it to debunk any connection other than name and backwards compatibility.  Either that, or we should but the successor to every console on it's page.  That means Gamecube on N64 page, N64 on SNES page, Game Boy on Game and Watch page. Obviously that is a bad idea.  So how about we take off the Nintendo 3DS information.  It's not like it's part of the DS series.

== Two things ==
Looking at the "Models" section DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL are mentioned, but not the original Ds. Why is that? or the the models section only a list over remakes (should in that case be called "remakes")
I am also doubting the usefulness of the Game Gallery section as it does not list nearly close to all the DS games, wouldn't it be better to rather link to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_DS_games this]
:Regarding the first question, the DS is mentioned in the opening paragraphs of the article, and the beginning of the article also includes a picture. To discuss it under the Models header would be redundant and therefore unnecessary. Regarding the second question, no, it wouldn't be better because as editors of a ''Mario'' encyclopedia, we're concerned with the ''Mario'' and ''Mario''-related games released on consoles. The game gallery depicts all of the ''Mario''-related games released for the DS. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}} 15:50, 29 April 2013 (EDT)
== Collector's Nintendo DS Lite ==
I'ev found another Mario DS hardware : http://www.mariowiigames.com/images/Nintendo%20DS%20Lite%20Ltd%20Ed%20Red%20Mario%20with%20New%20Super%20Mario%20Bros%20.jpg

== Game Card was removed ==
Out of all DS games, which other ones have a "Game Card was removed" message besides ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[starfywiki:Densetsu no Starfy 4|Densetsu no Starfy 4]]''/''[[starfywiki:The Legendary Starfy|The Legendary Starfy]]''? I've already seen messages like that in both games. {{User:MeerkatMario/sig}} 16:34, 20 July 2015 (EDT)
:Not sure, but I don't know why this would be noteworthy in this article. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:14, 20 July 2015 (EDT)
