I received Mario Kart DS November 19. I think It's an awesome game. I liked seeing the old courses, and I also like the variety of characters and their carts. I found out that my house was a hot-spot. It was pretty fun, but it would be awesome if you could chat online. I will be getting the Nintendo wi-fi USB adapter this Christmas. I will no longer have to stay in one position trying not to lose the signal. I give Mario Kart DS a 10.
