"I like how you have to blow into the mic to blow up balloons" Me: Casually holds down Select...
Woah! You can do that?
Blowing was faster though
I didn't know I could do that for 10 years... then someone told me about it. I just looked at them dying inside because I could never blow up the balloons with the mic on any DS.
Only way I ever did it.
You could WHAT
When I was a kid, I didn't know that the retro tracks were remakes. I just called them "the bad tracks".
I was just confused ''why are there weird letters?'' oof
Like "what's a SNES?" pronounced "s-ness"

Nostalgia graphics at work. For the longest time I used to think that SM64 had much better graphics than SM64 DS, as that was how I remembered it. It was quite the shock, honestly.
It still does look great the video just makes it look more pixelated than it really is
It looks much better on the DS screen size, and you don't notice it as much when you're focused on playing. Lots of DS games did suffer from pixelation, though. The assets are often surprisingly high-quality when you use emulator upscaling.
Mario Kart DS was so amazing. To just be able to host a race when no one else has the game is something we'll look back to as the "golden days".
Yeah, I tell you that. And you know Mario Kart: DS is the fifth installment of the Mario Kart series, after Mario Kart for SNES called Super Mario Kart-the first game of the Mario Kart series, and Mario Kart 64-the second installment of the Mario Kart series, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit-the third installment of Mario Kart series, before Mario Kart DS-the fifth installment for the Nintendo DS, Mario Kart Wii-the sixth installment for the Nintendo Wii, Mario Kart 7-the seventh installment for the Nintendo 3DS, Mario Kart 8 & Mario Kart 8 Deluxe-the eighth installments for the Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo Switch, and you know Mario Kart: Double Dash is the unlockable in Mario Kart 7’s 3DS sequel installment for the Nintendo 3DS called "Mario Kart: The Top 100 World Tour!!" In order to unlock all the games, like "Super Mario Kart", "Mario Kart 64", "Mario Kart: Super Circuit", "Mario Kart: Double Dash!!", "Mario Kart DS", "Mario Kart Wii", "Mario Kart 7", "Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe)", and "Mario Kart Tour", you got to play as Daisy, and get 3 stars in 100cc.

I remember going on a field trip once in the 5th grade. We all had DSes and were playing Mario Kart. I remember everyone groaning in unison on the bus when the DS battle map came up.
I totally agree with this. From 3rd to 6th grade, this was the norm for my friends and me on field trips. More often than not, we would remember the journey playing MKDS more than we would remember the field trip itself. Heck, after one field trip in 5th grade, we got into a heated discussion about some of the stuff that had happened in an MKDS race the day before (I was part of this, having been accidentally put on a team by myself). It got so heated that our teacher had to say "E-Enough, with the DS." And that was just the day AFTER. Not even the actual game playing.
6:31 Funny how you mention spraying the tires with ink, because not many people notice this, but that actually happens in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! Believe me, I've had a few experiences where the blooper tripped me up because it made my tires slicker and thus harder to steer.
Same here. I haaaate the Blooper in Mario Kart 8, especially on 200cc, because of how important drifting is to maintaining speed and control. The amount of times I've gone flying off the track because of the blooper's effect on my tires is wild. Blooper sharply reduces your traction in Mario Kart 8. I think having Blooper affect your tires/traction/handling is cool in theory, but really not fun in practice.
Same
Yup also on mk 7

"There isn't a stupid amount of Rubber banding as there is in Wii" *Laughs in Mario Kart 64*
Yeah I played that game and I love Wii's but damn 64 has some bad issues with rubber banding
In 64 every cc felt like 150cc 😂
Definitely SNES mario kart is the worst. The NPCS literally get items you can't use. They can just do that;.
@Rhea Most items you can't use have the same affect as the shells, so it's not a big deal at the end of the day. Even then, the rubber band AI in Super isn't nearly as bad as in 64.
True, the rubber band isn't as bad in Super : it's worse. The AI is programmed to do a specific time. No matter how much you hit them, they will rubberband like crazy to get back in line. The only way an AI wont make it's time is if it gets hit right before the end. It's so ridiculous, you're basically not competing in a race, you're doing a time trial with invincible moving obstacles that try to screw you over.
Man, that closing cutscene really hits hard…

If you think about it, Mario Kart DS is actually the first battle royale.
Katomic Comics woah 🤯
How
The Chef Boo balloon battle was basically battle royal
Katomic Comics nah Bomberman
MajesticBoy YT well it’s not close to being the first XD
i just noticed: the red shell that took all his bananas away? It actually hit the fist banana behind him, making the other ones go away either way, thats still pretty skill/luck based
Rasana Rose no it’s a mechanic the naners can be used offensively 3 times but defensively once
@@Mcnibbus actually no, what happened there was that the red shell took out the first banana, and as a ladder effect the 2 others got dropped. But to something like that to happen is very rare.
Cesar Castillo happens to me when I play ds all the time and I’m pretty sure he said it was a mechanic of the game
@@Mcnibbus it happens but rarely, not always.
@@Mcnibbus It isn't a mechanic. In MKDS red shells are coded to target the player's back HALF rather than the direct CENTER of the player's back. This causes them to do "sick drifts" around held items more often then you'd think. what happened there was the red shell swerved around the first 2 bananas in the stack but hit the 3rd (the one closest to the car). As he shows later in the video, red shells will often completely ignore held items and hit you. This mostly happens when turning corners or when drifting, as the held items go far off-center when doing these actions, giving the shell a massive radius to hit the player.
I am SO glad you talked about the battle mode and how it's last man standing. I've always loved that about Mario Kart DS battle mode and it's why I often find myself coming back to the game.

I know how that is. When I was 12 (6th grade), we went on a school field trip that took 3 hours on the bus. We had a full lobby of MarioKart DS. I do wish they made it so you could use any track with download play (as opposed to just mushroom and shell cups), and that everyone selects a track and you randomly pick from those (as opposed to P1 just picking).

Ah MarioKart DS was the game that I played with both of my cousins and my sister when we were younger and it was one of the things that brought us close together. I miss those times :’).
I've only played this Mario Kart and my heart dropped upon multiple reveals like the only game with missions and the only game with emblem maker.
Interesting fact: all the bosses in the mission mode are the same bosses from Super Mario 64 DS
It would have saved development time that's for sure. Should keep doing that.

After watching this I looked at my DSI and found the last game I played on that was MKDS, and that was 5 years ago. So OF COURSE I went and played for 2 hours straight. It's a good as hell game.
17:29 "Next thing you knew, there were 5 of us playing Mario Kart battle play of demo mode" that lowkey made me tear up realizing all the fun memories of elementary school and how I met some friends that way
Scott The Woz was working his way through the Mario Kart games, SilokHawk did it for a poll. If people are wondering the coincidence.
Ngl, I was skeptical as hell 😂
Yeah I was like "Hmmm, this video looks familiar."
Scott forgot Arcade GP though so he must pay for his actions.
the coincidence: They we were playing online together lol
I hate coincidences.
I watched this and now I want to play Mario Kart DS again, I couldn’t find it... Turns out my mom donated it to GoodWill, my childhood has been donated to flippin goodwill.
I seriously hate moms that donate things from their children without asking... I don't want to insult your mom, but what the hell are parents like these thinking?!
Ouch, hope you find it again soon
Bet you drifting button on your Nintendo is broken anyways (literally everybodys is :()
Guess what, my DS which has played Mario kart DS for years is still working 100% Tho that is probably because I got it 2 years ago for the 2006 model, but it was used, and it works perfectly.
I am so sorry to hear this! I had all of my DS games stolen when I was younger, so I've been slowly building my collection back up of games I used to have by buying them from Ebay. Again, I'm so sorry to hear that! I hate when stuff like that happens. :(

"Who the hell was beggin for Luigi's Circuit to come back" Me: Allow me to introduce myself
You. You did this.
*screams*
Why did u do this
The ONLY part of Luigi's Circuit that I liked was it's DS version of the theme.
The way you can always interact with the other racers regardless of your placement makes it a favourite of mine
hearing that "vrm vrm here we go!" in the intro is always so grating to me. On the original DS he would say "yihoo!" and I am just so used to hearing it that way
On my red/silver DS it wouldn't even go "vroom vroom" It made that distant engine sound from MK64 then went "Here we go!" I think its different per DS model but it isn't documented online.
i think the "yahoo" is random chance and comes from unlocking everything.
SilokHawk It really isn't documented? I used to make that happen all the time by closing my DS just before the opening sequence then re-opening the DS and it usually happened. I discovered it myself when I was young so I'm pretty proud
@@silokhawk hm I have the red DS bundle that you mentioned in the video and it does the vroom vroom
What other ds game even does this?
Since when was there a tank and an excavation crane in this game?? R.O.B.'s here too?? A 7th Mission category?? Honestly, that's how you know you got a good game, when you blew a good 30% of your childhood mastering battle mode without ever getting to the unlockable stuff and had a blast doing so.
8:49 Agree, it's a beautiful track (and it still looks great) with fantastic loop-de-loop parts and a wonderful song. Plus, it's a more interesting Rainbow Road then the original from Super Mario Kart.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks DS RR song is amazing.

Pro tip only for mario kart ds and 7: when blooper hits you, use the map since the normal mario kart ds and 7 map shows what is around you more accurately. I know no one cares but its a pretty neat thing I learned as a small child Edit: idk if other mario kart maps are like mario kart ds' and 7's maps, I just assumed since there wasn't many mario karts in the ds or 3ds.
To answer your edit: no. Only DS and 7 allow for the trick of using the map to navigate

Something really satisfying i remember doing when I was a kid with ds was keeping close to the second player when someone gets a blue shell and letting them overtake me when it's launched or before it's launched so it switches targets to them instead Oh so good
oooh nooo i *accidently* hit the brakes How am i gonna recover from this? *boom* Thx
Goldfire345 same I lost so many friends that way
I remember watching a friend play. He suddenly got first place while having a blue shell. I couldn't resist pressing x on his DS...
bruuuuh that was my technique too!!
@@theAstarrr I would never forgive myself if I wasted that opportunity
Blue shells in DS and items in general if i remember correctly depend on place and distance so if your overlapped by first or something your more likely to get lightnings and blue shells and stuff, if your in first you get shells and bananas, so it makes it hard af to get a 3 star on a race since if your too far away there will be more blue shells and lightnings
The fact that he included the nostalgic credits at the end really made this video worth watching
Scott the Woz and Silohawk uploading a mario kart ds vid in the same week? Coincidence? I think...so

Hey all, Jordan here
Great minds think alike I guess.
Scott’s been doing Mario Kart videos. It’s a whole series, as far as I know
Am I the only one that played looking at the bottom screen most of the time? Especially when bloopers got used
Or to see what objects the other one's had. It was really useful.
I remember trying to beat a race looking only at the bottom screen. I failed... ._.
Nope. That skill really helps me now in MK8DX
That was me. If I was splatted by a blooper I just looked at the bottom screen. Bloopers didn't have much purpose in Mario Kart DS because you could just look at the bottom screen.
@@wyattschuette1737 Yeah, if you ask me, they should have made the Blooper cover the screen so much you would have to use the touch screen to see. Since Nintendo loved using the touchscreen in DS games so much and all.
I remember when this game was THE game to get. I still enjoy it time to time, I really like the controls and how it handles. I'm also still really good with the balloon battles.

“Tricky to pull off” Me: speedrun the game while drifting couple million times My thumb; kill me
Snaking is a lot easier on the 3ds
Mines on the ds these years, it may be difficult to pull and you had to master it so well and it takes mad skill to pull it off. Once you master it you will become this good in this game

My DS's R button fell out
My "r" button: why god?
6:34 Actually, thats a side effect of the Blooper in MK8, granted it's only really noticable when you drift, but it's there.
Yeah, it is. Seems like Hawk hasn't played enough Mario kart 8 deluxe.
I heard about this recently. Apparently you go slightly faster if you’ve been hit by Bloopers.
No, just affects your drifting. Doesn't up your speed. If you remember the stormcloud item from MK Wii, that one did raise your speed, to aid in the hot-potato aspect. You also didn't slowdown while offroading.
I remember the Blooper increasing your speed in DS as well
I somehow never noticed that in 8! 7:50 and I've even played enough to 3 star everything!
Dry Bones with the tank was such an icon. So sad they gutted him in the later entries
I remember not getting to experience much of Mission Mode because I didn't know how to drift as a small kid and didn't have the internet. I never made it past "World" 1.
Yes, the exact same thing happened to me! And now that I can drift in other games I can’t find my old ds anymore…
silokhawk: “mario kart ds was the first game with retro tracks” mario kart super circuit: “am i a joke to you?”

Actually, yes :p
I guess "first game to establish the modern retro track system" is a bit of a mouthful.
[VenomousSnake37] i say that to keep a lighthearted tone, especially because you can’t hear how i’m saying it. if I were to be straightforward and say “you’re wrong, because it actually started in super circuit”, it would come across as negative, and i want to be as positive as possible.
[Nicky Neutrite] then don’t say something that is a mouthful! how about “the first game to use retro tracks as the official name”.
The fact that I never played this game and still know how iconic waluigi pinball is should tell u how mad I am rn But I get ur point sadly.

"you know the drift by wobbling the d-pad back and forth" emulation gamers: you mean WASD and Arrow keys?
So true 🤣👋
me, an emulation gamer who uses a controller: Pathetic
Blue shells could be avoided by releasing a drift boost while jumping with a perfect timing, right when the shell was amorcing its final dive in order to hit you. It required a lot of skill to be able to perform this technic almost each time but that’s the difference between a three stars and a one stars player ;)

I saw a used copy of the game in a store a couple years ago and bought that, and have been having so much fun playing one of my favorite childhood games. Even if as a kid it was Wii that my friends (and maybe me at certain points in my childhood because when Wii came out it was the cool new game) would want to play that instead of DS, I absolutely love now how technical DS can be. It has great drift mechanics. I’m definitely going to have to check out the fan servers soon.
That Mariokart DS credits theme still hits me deep every time I listen to it. Every song in MK DS is so nostalgic.
Somewhat that agrees thank you
When I was in middle school everyone at my school had a ds and only one guy had mariokart ds he game shared and wanted everyone to play it. we only played when the bus drove us to school and home. I wish I can go back in time to play it again with my friends again and those people in the bus

1:59 I have a potential theory why ROB (HVC-012) was included in MKDS. ROB was released in Japan (as HVC-012) in July 1985. It was also sold at the NYC test launch of the NES in October 1985. Mario Kart DS was released in 2005, which not many people notice was 20 years since the release of ROB. I guess Nintendo wanted to celebrate, just like they did with the 20th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros?
Yeah, this makes sense
Very likely theory right there.

6:31 I know this is an old video, but in Mario Kart 8 (and Deluxe) the Blooper ink does make your kart slightly more slippery to drive, but it's not incredibly significant. It's just like driving on icy surfaces.
The reason you couldnt get wifi to work might be because the DS dosnt support WPA or WPA2. You need to set up a router using WEP. Make sure you turn it off right after because its super insucure.
Setting up online with MKDS is such a pain. I got it to work once, but setting up a router with wep is difficult, since most routers don't really use it. I had to get a virtual machine with windows xp, and get the ds wifi connector. It works, but it's such a pain regardless.
Also make sure that the wireless mode on your router is 802.11b.
I love Mario Kart DS to death. Maybe it’s just me and my expectations at the time, but I thought it was seriously ahead of its time. Since you could race online, mission modes, etc. With that being said however, I still prefer Mario Kart Wii. The bikes took the series to a whole nother level, and they really helped feed that desire to go fast with all its tricks that couldn’t be done with karts. And that’s only scratching the surface. I wish they had never gotten rid of online for it... Can I please see my family again SilokHawk?
There are also Wiimmifii servers for Mario Kart Wii, just like DS. So if you still wanted to play online you technically could.

As someone that has traded Mario Kart DS for Mario Kart Wii, I'm gonna have to disagree. IMO, bikes are broken to the point where there's no reason to use a kart. Also getting three stars in every cup is damn near impossible because the game is super unfair with it's requirements. There was one time where I met all the requirements for a three star, and the game STILL didn't give it to me.
Once I was trying to tell someone at school about DS games because they had never had a DS growing up, the next day when we were at lunch they started ranting about how bad the graphics were and me and my friends were just staring at them wondering if they knew the DS was released all the way back in 2003.
18:53 “muppet face Mario” XD
We need a Mario Kart DS Remastered!
but only the graphics
@@hallawit5935 thats right.
And maybe the blue shell shit
Tiaguh no, there should just be a new Mario Kart with a mission mode.
And a battle mode that actually lets you play elimination style.
The ending just brought back soooo many memories
God I remember playing the DS when I was a little kid, trying to 100% the entire game with 3 stars on everything, beating the in-game japanese highest records, and then at midnight watching that lil' scene at the end of the cups, god so many old memories of finally being able to beat mario kart on the DS, I really wish they had brought something like that back, maybe like "Mario Kart Grand Prix" with everything back... Only one man can wish such old and new features to return in a new installment...
I really wish I still had my Mario kart for DS, if only who ever stole it never did I probably would be still playing it right now all these years later.
Love the Fact that DS’s Retro Tracks went for 4 tracks each of the prior games
The reason the triple banana dies is because the red shell wants to wrap around and hits the first banana, thus, taking out the other two
6:50 I would like to object here. I’ve played this game so damn much as a kid, and still do, but the one thing I remember about these three bananas is that it depends on the angle they are hit on. If they are hit on an angle they will all be gone. If they are hit straight on, only one will be used, this angle problem is also confirmed by yourself right after, as you explain that a red shell can still hit you even if you have a banana behind you. Even with this mistake this is a great video on this amazing game. MkDS needed more attention. And this video give it what it deserves
And, strategic use, like dropping one before it gets to you can help a lot.
I’m so glad someone else picked up on this as-well, it was annoying me he misunderstood what happened during that interaction. As for the red shell behaviour, the red shells always follow the centre of the track, so if your on the outside of the track the red shell may attack you at to shallow of an angle depending on your position, and not hit you from behind. If your close to an opponent and are facing at a 45 degree angle from them, you can manipulate the red shell to loop around and attack from the front; great for dealing with opponents protecting themselves with items.
6:56 actually the red hit the banana holding the others back so the others broke off
Yeah, this is a common thing, since red shells are following you strictly and since Silok was turning around a corner, the shell went to hit whatever was strictly behind him, making all the other bananas go away.
I am not a fan of racing games, but I am a huge fan of Mario Kart DS. I remember my right thumb getting sore multiple times from just playing this game as a kid.
I feel like Mario Kart Tour is extremely underrated. There were a few hiccups in launch, but coming back to it, I’ve realized that there are a lot of things it does right that other modern Mario Kart games just don’t. Mistakes like a lack of landscape mode were fixed in later updates. Heck, it even kinda brought back Mission Mode! Not to mention character specific items. And I’m saying all of this not having spent a single cent on micro transactions.
I'll never forget being in elementary school going on DS download during lunch time with 8 people, just had to have 1 person bring the game in!
mario kart is single-handedly one of *the best series of all time*
As a new viewer, the algorithm did a great job recommending me this :) keep it up love your content!

I remember when I was little on my bus everyone had a 3DS and 8 lucky people (more people had 3DSs too) and we had a blast with Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7 and I can't be bothered to go into detail but I have soo many fond memories and I want to go back to those days..
Please try playing Wild Guns. It is really fun and has a soundtrack that goes hard. It would be really cool to see you playing it!
Fun fact: Mario Kart Wii was planned to have a Mission mode, but they scrapped it to make the online challenge mode that I think had one or two missions every week, with a single boss fight that appeared three times throughout the online mode's existence. Kind-of wished I knew that sooner, as I barely used the online mode in Mario Kart Wii.
nah, MKWii online was a nightmare
@@paulgilbert5278 Kinda... The whole thing worked really well, but there were too many elite players, so I never really bothered. But had I known about the Mario Galaxy boss battle sooner, I would've only played online just to fight it.
6:05-6:10 *Mario Kart Tour:* "Am I a joke to you?"
Yes
@@BlueflagAlpha 👏
Mario kart 7 as well
@@jahn5600 mk7 haven't got mega mushrooms
Yeah but MKT mega mushroom is basically just star without the good speed and handling, heck, it doesn't even flatten you
6:59 The red shell hit the first banana, dropping the last two.
What I love about it and the older games is that it can actually be challenging. The computers in Mariokart 8 are quite easy to beat. This one remains interesting because I’m not mindlessly driving with no issue.
