The first truly great Mario Kart

User Rating: 10 | Mario Kart DS (Canadian) DS

Other entries in the Mario Kart series were very good but Mario Kart DS brings the series to its pinnacle. Not only was multiplayer better due to the networking capability of the DS but also making Mario Kart Portable just makes sense. The items in the game are good, roster and karts mostly extensive, and the tracks among the best of the series. But what really separates Mario Kart DS is the gameplay mechanics that smooths the controls and rewards better players rather than what was often pure chaos in Double Dash and Mario Kart 64.
