+This is a list of glitches in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Unless otherwise noted, all names are conjectural.
 ==Glitches==
-==={{conjecturaltext|Battle Mode Glitch}}===
+===Battle opponent freeze glitch===
-In Battle Mode, when the player (with more than 2 balloons) touches a Banana and touches another Banana while spinning, the player will lose only 1 balloon.
+In battle mode, if a CPU hits an item under a bridge in [[Block Fort]], the CPU may get stuck under the bridge. Eventually, the CPU will sometimes recover unless the CPU is defeated.{{ref needed}}
-==={{conjecturaltext|Drive Sideways in [[Bowser's Castle]]}}===
+===Cheep Cheep Beach out of bounds glitch===
-To do this glitch, the player must go to the spinning wheel in Bowser's Castle, then go reverse and go to the corner of the wheel and the player will be driving still, but sideways.
+On Cheep Cheep Beach, at the double-stone arch, the player must touch the stone arch while holding right on the {{button|ds|Pad}} until they drop. If done correctly, the player will be driving out of bounds but will not be picked up by Lakitu. The glitch will end if the player presses {{button|ds|R}} or {{button|ds|B}}, or if they stop touching the wall, after which [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] will return them back to the track as normal.
-==={{conjecturaltext|Fall Off The Loop}}===
+===CPUs item use disabling===
-If the player receives damage from an item while on the loop upside-down in [[Rainbow Road]], they will fall down with their head facing the pit. Afterwards, [[Lakitu]] will pick them up like usual.
+If a CPU is deploying an item, and a player or item hits their deployed item, then the CPU picks up an Item Box, the roulette will not stop fast, and if they get a deployable item, they will not do anything with it until they get hit by an item or obstacle. If they get an item like a Mushroom or triple shells, they will use the item, however. This is most noticeable in Battle mode with the CPUs set to hard.
-==={{conjecturaltext|Go through an Invisible Barrier}}===
+===Delfino Square boardwalk glitch===
-In [[Luigi Circuit]] (GCN version), the player need to turn around when the race starts and use a [[Mushroom]] on the corner of the bump and hop. If it was done correctly, the player will go through the invisible barrier and fall through the hills and the character will not make a sound. The screen will just blackout and Lakitu will bring the player to the track.
+When the  player goes up to the boardwalk that has the one [[Item Box]], they must press {{button|ds|R}} when they are on the wall. If timed correctly, the player can float on the side of the road. This works in any mode.
-This can also be done in Bowser's Castle, by going past the room with the [[Thwomp]]s and then the player should see two "hills" with a spike fence. The player need to go to the first "hill" and use a Mushroom and hop. The player will fly past the fence and go through the bar and fall into the lava. These glitches are best done with the [[Egg 1]].
+===Goomboss jumping glitch===
+This glitch is difficult to perform and sporadically occurs. When playing mission 3-Boss, if the player can manage to hop into Goomboss as he is right near the edge of the median, Goomboss will jump over it as he does on the final lap. The player must do this while Goomboss is close to one of the turns though. This glitch can either help or hinder the player depending on where it occurs.
-==={{conjecturaltext|High Flying in Rainbow Road}}===
+===Invisible barrier bypass===
-In Rainbow Road, when getting to a loop, the racer should hit the fence and push {{button|ds|R}} while holding Down on the {{button|ds|Pad}}. After a little while, the player will start to fly away and Lakitu will pick the player up and put him or her on the beginning of the loop. This works best on the corkscrew.
+In {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}}, the player needs to turn around when the race starts and use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] on the corner of the bump and hop. If done correctly, the player will go past the invisible barrier and fall through the hills. The character will not make a sound, the screen will fade to black and Lakitu will bring the player back to the track.
-==={{conjecturaltext|Luigi's Mansion Freeze Glitch}}===
+This can also be done in [[Bowser Castle (Mario Kart DS)|Bowser Castle]]. By going past the room with the [[Thwomp]]s, the player should see two slopes with a spike fence ahead. The player needs to go to the first slope, then use a Mushroom and hop. The player will fly over the fence and fall into the lava. These glitches are best done with light karts such as the [[Egg 1]].
-To perform this glitch the player must pick the [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]] track in any mode. Once the race starts, the player must then park their character on the stairs at the entrance of the mansion. After that, hold down both {{button|ds|A}} and {{button|ds|B}} to drift in place. If the player tries to turn, the game will freeze. This works with any character and kart.
-==={{conjecturaltext|[[Pipe Plaza]] Pipe Glitch}}===
+===Luigi's Mansion freeze glitch===
-While going into a pipe at the same time as someone else, the player will end up far away from the area falling in the background.
+To perform this glitch, the player must pick the Luigi's Mansion course in any mode with any character and kart. Once the race starts, the player must then park their character on the stairs at the entrance of the mansion. After that, they should hold down both {{button|ds|A}} and {{button|ds|B}} to drift in place. If the player tries to turn, the game will sometimes freeze. This glitch was fixed on the Wii U Virtual Console release.<ref>Puff-Jiggly-Puff Games (November 11, 2017). [https://youtu.be/ZkG1stF87IU Mario Kart DS - Luigi's Mansion freeze glitch (Done on 3DS)].

-==={{conjecturaltext|[[Spiny Shell (Mario Kart)|Spiny Shell]] Dodge}}===
+===Pipe Plaza pipe glitch===
-When a Spiny Shell is approaching, right the second it's about to hit the racer, he or she needs to get hit by something that will make he or she flip over once e.g. [[Fake Item Box]], [[Red Shell]] etc. The racer will just flip over once and while the player flips over, the explosion will occur. After the explosion is gone and after the character flipped, he or she will spin as if he or she touched an explosion half way through, but, nothing will be there to make the player spin.
+If the player goes into a pipe at the same time as someone else, the player may end up far away from the arena, falling in the background.
-==={{conjecturaltext|[[Waluigi Pinball]] Glitch}}===
+===Prolonged rocket boost glitch===
-Go to the bumpers near the end of [[Waluigi Pinball]] and right before a ball comes, drive into the bumper. If done correctly, the racer will go flying, usually off the course.
+This glitch can only be done using vehicles with a high Mini-Turbo stat, such as the [[Egg 1]], [[ROB-BLS]] or [[Dry Bomber]]. After the player gets a perfect [[Rocket Start]], or if they go on a boost panel, they should start [[Mini-Turbo|snaking]]. If done correctly, the player will drive like they are using a Mushroom for as long as they are snaking, so they will be able to go off-road without losing speed. The glitch ends once the player's Mini-Turbo boost runs out.
-==={{conjecturaltext|Wario Stadium Wall Glitch}}===
+===Rainbow Road fly glitch===
-This glitch is very hard to perform and occurs rarely. On the first set of multiple bumps near the end, the player needs to boost over the bumps and head to the right (left in mirror mode). If done correctly, the player will fly on the top of the wall's corner and fall through it, before being picked up by [[Lakitu]] back to the normal track.
+In Rainbow Road, while on either the loop or the corkscrew, the player should hit the fence and push {{button|ds|R}} while holding down on the {{button|ds|Pad}}. After a little while, the player will start to fly away. Lakitu will eventually pick the player up and put them on the beginning of the loop/corkscrew. This glitch works best on the corkscrew.
-==={{conjecturaltext|Wrong Starting Place}}===
+===Rainbow Road shortcuts===
-This glitch is only noticeable in Versus mode. If the player chooses Bowser's Castle at first, the upper screen will show during the start of the race that the player's character is in 7th place, although clearly the character is behind the racer in 7th place.
+To perform these glitches, the player must choose Rainbow Road in Time Trial mode.
+*To do the first shortcut, the player has to start heading around the spiral road. When the player goes past the part of the spiral road that is just underneath the road heading toward the loop, they must turn around, sharply drift, and jump extremely close to the edge of the road in a corner that allows them to jump high enough onto the section of the track right before the loop. This shortcut is very difficult and sometimes when the player jumps correctly, the lap may not count for unknown reasons.
+*To do the second shortcut, the player should continue on until they reach the straight road after the loop. They should go through all five rings before the right curve, turn around, and then use a Mushroom to jump off the edge, aiming to the left of the rainbow pipe that can be seen by the curvy section of the track, while holding {{button|Padup}}. If done correctly, Lakitu should drop the player just before the corkscrew, and the lap will count.<ref>mkdasher (May 10, 2014).

+===Spiny Shell glitch===
+In [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]], if someone uses a Spiny Shell in the area with the bumpers and pinballs, it may fly around the edges for a few seconds for unknown reasons before chasing after the leader.{{ref needed}}
+===Star music glitch===
+When the player quits or restarts any level or course, they will have a second of control before the screen fades to black. Usually, the music does not play while this happens. However, if the player uses a Star during this short period, or picks up a dropped [[Star]] on the course, then the Star music will play, even though there should be no music. The Star music will cut out once the game is bought back to a menu, or the level has restarted.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kpaIrfYqw4&t=40 Video]</ref>
+===Voiceless Waluigi glitch===
+In Battle mode, if the player is Waluigi, for unknown reasons, his voice will occasionally disappear. This will last until the player quits Battle mode.{{ref needed}}
+===Wario Stadium wall glitch===
+This glitch is very hard to perform and occurs rarely. On the first set of multiple bumps near the end, the player needs to boost over the bumps and head to the right (left in mirror mode). If done correctly, the player will bounce off of the final bump and fly over the wall ahead, going out-of-bounds, before being picked up by Lakitu back to the track.
+===Wrong starting place===
+[[File:MKDS Starting In 7th Place.png|thumb|Starting in 7th place]]
+This glitch is most noticeable in Versus mode. If the player chooses Bowser Castle at first, or if the player finishes 8th in the race prior to Bowser Castle, the upper screen will show during the start of the race that the player's character is in 7th place, although clearly the character is behind the racer in 7th place. This was not fixed in the Wii U Virtual Console release.
+{{br}}
+===Yoshi Circuit lap skipping glitch===
+Any character can be used to perform this glitch. On <small>GCN</small> Yoshi Circuit, the player must go to the end of the first fence at the start of the course, then hit the end of the fence diagonally, and fall into the water. If performed correctly, the player will be respawned a few paces behind the finish line, and when they drive the wrong way around the track, Lakitu will not be present and the place counter should still be the same as when the player fell into the water. After the Yoshi nose section, the player can turn around and when they cross the finish line it will count as a lap.<ref> TommyTheTrixter (January 26, 2013).
