Even though I do not play that many online matches because of this problem, but how do I know that online players are cheating in Mario Kart DS? I noticed in many matches I participated, some racers have a huge lead that I was unable to catch up. I once suspected they are "snaking," but with the availability of Action Replay for the DS, I think they must be cheating so they can increase their number of wins.

This is from a player who plays Mario Kart DS using a broadband connection.

If they have rockets on their cars or appear to be teleporting to the end of the track, this could be an indication ;)

Do you ever snake? If not, then I'm sure a lot of what you're seeing is snaking, because it does make a huge difference, especially if you're good at it.

But, there are still a lot of AR cheaters. The most common one I see is someone having infinity stars. So if you see someone when you first start already using a star, then you know... Another one I've seen is being able to drive off track normally. I actually don't know of any other besides them.

One time when I was playing, a guy had like infinite bullet bills or something, and kept using them over and over again. It was stupid.

I just learned how to do those snaking, it was quite funny when i started playin ds via wireless and then in a straight line a toad guy simply let my dk eating dust, i through "zomg, cheater"

But now i just learned how to do this snaking, throught its quite lame, and i still prefer racing without it... oh well...

I just heard that they removed snaking from mario kart wii

Here's a way to tell they're cheating, if they deliberately get left behind and end up being ahead of you by teleporting. It happened to me once.

Teleporting is lag, im sure cheating doesnt work online.

This game has lag, ever noticed that when you fire a green shell sometimes it goes right through them without hitting them? yep, lag..

no idea why but there is definately a slight lag in this game, much like when playing mortal kombat, you can notice the delay in your moves when pressing buttons.

well when i faced this guy one time, it was obvious he was cheating. he constantly had a star going and so he repeatedly hit me over and over again. Then he somehow appeared at the finish line in the blink of an eye... that's how you know if someone cheated...

If they totally kick your ass and seem to always get the kick ass weapons and power-ups, that might be an indication theyre cheating

just keep in mind that players that are in last place usually get stars/thunders/bullet bills easily, once i got a stars twice when i was in last, and i still didnt manage to reach those snaking lamers :(, but if a guy is in first place and he gets thunder/star/bullet bill or turtle shell then its high probably that he's cheating since when you're first you usually get bananas/fake box and sometimes a green/red shell and rarely a mushroom, the chance of getting a star at first place is almost 0%

if your getting lightninged repeatedly before the race has started when the 3 -2-1 is happening they are cheaters. also if they are leaping far to later spots in the track and playing as shy guy and picking the course titled shy guy they are cheating.
