Flawed perfection
The 2005 hit, Mario Kart DS, marked a new era for Nintendo and its long-running racing series.

About The Game
Time to race... no wires attached. The acclaimed Mario Kart series has gone wireless, letting players race and battle with up to eight karts at once, regardless of whether everyone has a game card.
An all-star cast that includes Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Bowser and Toad will round out a truly all-star lineup of more than 30 courses drawn from every Mario Kart game. That's right – players will tour courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, not to mention brand-new tracks and arenas. With all the crazy items and frantic speed players have come to expect, this game is a Mario Kart fan's dream.
The game has a new dimension of fun, since players can battle others around the world by connecting to Nintendo's new wireless gaming service, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, via Wi-Fi.

@Naruzo1999 Okay! I will Insert Your Friend Code!
This is definitely one of the best games on the DS, and could very well be considered the best Mario Kart in the series. The DS original of course, not the Wii U rerelease.
When the box art isn't like the game:😢
