Great game. I've played Mario Kart ever since it's debut on the Super Nintendo (which I still have). If you're going to get your kid a DS for his/her birthday, include this great game with it.
Well this what I think that every one should get to play any game that want why cause that is not right that we should sign all this stuff and give are important stuff and that we should just get to play any game that we want so can we all just do that but some games yall can take off of there cause we don't need to see that nasty stuff on some games cause some of it is so nasty so that what I think should happen cause it is not far that we have to put are names in this stuff.

This game is great! i just wanted to point out that fact that "ACTION REPLAY" has created software that allows players to CHEAT!!! one example is, being shocked with lighting, it stops u in your trax and makes u small. the cheater will never run out of lighting and hold the button down so no 1 can leave the starting grid but them.. ACTION REPLAY works on WIFI mode.. u can race with up 2 four people from allover the world.. GREAT IDEA! thanks Nintendo! however there are meny cheaters and it allmost distroys the online play abilty. parents need to know that your username and "emblem" could contain anything... so this game is a super fun racing game and 20 years old and mario kart for the super nintendo was my first game... need less 2 say i cant put it down! keep in mind that ACTION REPLAY is about $20 at best buy. so its not hard to get, just hard to figured out how to use if your 6-8 years old.

I really love that me and my kids can share this game - we play head-to-head on our two ds' and it's just a generally fun sort of game with no questionable content.
Much better than a lot of the stuff on the market today.
