Nintendo classic gone hand held. What more could you want? Online? Yep it's here too.
Basically, if you have yet to play a Mario kart game, I shun you, but I don't hate you. For hate is a strong word. And so is this series. Starting way back on the NES, going to N64, game boy advance and game cube, these games has a long line of fun kart racing.
The object of Mario kart is to race against 7 other racers (characters from various Nintendo games) and get to the finish first. You can use several different weapons and tecniques to help you do this, but in the end it all just comes down to knowing the tracks. This sounds easy. Well...it is. And it's tons of fun too.
The DS version is no different . Well, it is different, but just in good ways. Newly added is WiiFii which is wireless internet. If you have a wireless internet connection in your house, then your set. If you dont, they aren't too much money ($20) and are easy to set up. Yet if you don't want to be bothered with all that, just go to a local starbucks or anwhere else u know that supports wireless internet connections and game on.
Ok so theres
GP (Grand Prix)
Missions (Which are very stupid and menial, but unlock cool stuff)
Vs (you and a friend sitting next to each other)
Timebattle (Racing against the clock)
Or internet (playing those kids in Japan is really tough)
The weapons are the same as they have been for decades, yet they still feel right at home
Bananas
Tracking shells
Normal shells
Stars (fast + invincibility)
Mushrooms (speedbursts)
Lightining (the coolest)
and a few others
So if you ever like sitting down and playing a fun game for hours and hours just to have fun and not level up or really get anything out of it, then this game is for you.
