The latest game in the Mario Kart series has just been released. Mario Kart DS is being hyped as being the best Mario Kart games so far. Until today I was not convinced, but now all I can say is WOW!
Last week one of my fellow work colleagues came back from lunch announcing he had just bought a Nintendo DS and Mario Kart DS. We got chatting and I realised I had owned every Mario Kart game to date and enjoyed them all. I don’t still own them all due to the fact i have sold my SNES and N64, but I play Mario Kart Double Dash on my Gamecube and Mario Kart Super Circuit on the GBA on a regular basis. In fact I bough Mario Kart Super Circuit as it reminded me of the SNES version. This colleague and I chatted some more and agreed to bring our GBA SP’s in this week and a link cable so we could play Mario Kart Super Circuit at lunch. Playing this game in multiplayer reminded me how good this series of games is!
After a few wins a looses I got offered the chance to play a couple of levels on Mario Kart DS. I had heard a lot about this game and when it was released a little while ago I nearly rushed out and bought a Nintendo DS just for this game. I played one of the new tracks and one of the Gamecube tracks, it has a great retro mode where you can play SNES, N64, GBA, and Gamecube tracks! My initial opinions are that this is the best game in the series, and if I was not waiting for the New DS Lite to be released I would be rushing out to buy a Nintendo DS now!
Looking back on playing the Gamecube & GBA in multiply recently, both racing and in battle mode, and having experienced the DS version, I now realise that Mario Kart is one of the best series of games in console history! If you have not yet experienced this fun yet then go out and buy a Mario Kart game and you will have hours of fun.
Now please Nintendo hurry up and release the DS Lite, and then start working on writing us a nice Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Revolution!

OK, last night I borrowed my work colleagues Nintendo DS and played Mario Kart DS for about an hour over wireless. I only played “Rivals” mode, but loved it! This has to be one of the easiest and best online games I have played. I will be buying this game as soon as I get my hands on a DS Lite!

I like the Mario Kart game because it is more challenging as you get to the next level.-:’
