- 20 Random Mario Kart DS Facts You NEVER Cared For! -
I recently repurchased this game and I got addicted, so to compensate the time wasted on it, I decided to make a video discussing all about it LOL.
A lot of these facts are things I didn't really notice when I was like 8 years old (which was when I first owned it), and this is me noticing them now since I'm older and with a different perspective.
AND
It's because I can compare it now to the newer Mario Kart titles lol...
Hope you enjoy this Mario Kart DS Facts and Secrets video that actually took me roughly 1-2 days to write, and 3-4 days to produce!
*If you guys have any Mario Kart DS Obscure Facts, feel free to leave them in the comments section!*

Hey guys! If you enjoyed this video then you may enjoy these 20 Random Facts on Mario Party that I made 2 years later ▶ th-cam.com/video/rEzSyiJw7Os/w-d-xo.html
That bottom screen was a godsend lol, whenever I had a blooper attack I'd just start using it and I'd forget I could look back up again
Sarah Houle I did the same thing haha. Bottom screen saves people’s lives.
JigsawFlex not on rainbow road
When I was a kid my mother smashed my DS because I was playing it too much. But the DS still worked, it was only the top screen which was smashed (all the buttons and the bottom screen worked perfectly still), but Mario Kart DS was one of the only games I could still play without the top screen. I actually managed to win all the tournaments only using the bottom screen, it's not as difficult as you might think.
Sarah Houle ikr it helps me shoot green shells to cpus
And target someone behind me with a banana or a fake item box
@@iss2075 Your Mother is a monster... how could she do that.
I lost the game card for years, and my dad found it this year and I was so freaking happy.
That's awesome to hear! Now you can replay this game authentically!
I wad just playing it yesterday
Same but I found it in my backpack and it was for a year
Wel remember, you can always find a pre-owned copy somewhere online
WOOHOO
Since I've gotten used to Mario kart Wii, I need to remind myself not to forcefully shake my DS every time I'm launched into the air.
So true ! The upper screen would click back and you had to pause to bend it back !
also I did that a lot and mine broke like it latterly stopped working and broke
That happened to me when MK7 came out I was so used to playing with Wii note and nunchuck. Now when I play MKWii I just use the GameCube controller, same with MK8 Deluxe.
What good does that do?
Omg I do that lol
I also recently noticed, the AI karts don’t have wheel animations. It’s got nothing to do with what kart they have, just the fact that they are AI.
Seth Cocker Trueee, good eye!
My first DS game, I loved it.
Wow, I got a heart, but really 1st and best game ever! ^^
Me too good ol days
Same man
me too, im a beast at it and im still playing it to this day
Me too
One thing regarding the lack of animation for CPUs, their karts also have blocky tires. I used to notice such things myself when I was into it!
Gosh imagine people driving blocky tires in real life lol. Good eye!
Seriously, was I the only person who new about the pressing the button on balloon battle??
I knew :p After Crash Boom Bang I was never gonna use the mic ever again.
no, when I was like 7 I was playing balloon battle, and I meant to press start so I could pause, but I accidentally pressed select, so from then on I never blew into my mic.
Jukub The select button is so damn slow though...
I knew too. Someone told it to me.
I remember struggling so much with the mic lol and when it finally stopped working and I found out the select thing I was so happy
I have spent too many hours of my life on this game.
Was it worth it?
*yes*
MrFurZer 2nd Glad we’re in a mutual understand here!
Don't forget that this is the only game that let's you have other characters standard karts with different characters. Also, the items stat is for Time Trial mode and says how much mushrooms you start out with.
Also, we need R.O.B back.
YES. Gimme those LGS.
In Mario Kart Tour, you actually can pair any drivers with any kart you want as long it is inside your inventory.
(But you mostly cannot anyhow choose because different tracks has different assigned "best" drivers/karts/gliders to get more scores)
The lgs cart is one of my favorite carts even if it looked hilarious. The tank is a good cart too.
@@michelleschrock9141 Tank on its way to drive through water and grass like it's nothing:
6:15 Enemies being slow and catching up when you are in front of them is a mechanic called rubberbanding
well i acctually care
Theflashguy 125 Good, I secretly wanted you to care.
JigsawFlex 😏
yeah i acctually care too
I care and I want some of these concepts back
You can avoid blue shells in this game by performing a drift right when you hear a blue shell approaching you. When your vehicle has red flames behind it and the blue shell is going down to hit you, release the drift button and immediately perform another drift in the same direction.
Note: This only works with light vehicles which have a longer drift boost time.
7:24 DID THE BOO JUST STEAL HIS BULLET BILL?
TENOX Yes I was quite confused because that has never happened to me before until I recorded that footage lmao.
InstaKarma you hit Waluigi with de FIB and then you lose the bullet lol
I love bullets and boos there hasn't been one Mario kart game YET with the boos in it
That's actually how I got a bullet bill while being in like third or fourth place once. Was epic
JigsawFlex Dude,Boo is an item that you use and he steals an item from a random person
Mario Kart DS, Mario 64 DS, New Super Mario Bros., and Mario Party DS: a quartet of games that every DS owner probably owned
Facts.
JigsawFlex I’m guessing you did? Sadly, I misplaced my copy of MKDS, but I’m thinking of getting a pre-owned copy.
OoC, how well did it sell? It must have sold like hot cakes.
JWil42 Yeah, I did. Sold pretty much most of them but eventually got them back as I got older. Some were super cheap and others I got for free from friends lol.
I loved the BAM shock dodge!
its twd98
twd98 got popular because of this one line
He also makes good, consistent content.
BEAM SHOCK DODGE
mario kart ds is better than 7
Straight up, facts.
JigsawFlex nope
Mario kart wii was hella fun too
so tru
Finally someone get its
As a small child I played this game so much that I practically know it like the back of my hand. Something no one ever talks about is the secret item box on the hill in DK Summit that gives either a star, triple mushroom, or single red shell.

Wow guys I'm on fire, t o t a l s k I l l

TOTAL SKILL

*Fact 21: Mario Kart DS is a game only available on the DS(I)*
Creativity at it’s finest i mean you’re not wrong!
No, I played it on my 3ds, backwards compatibility FTW!
*you meant the ds series*
It’s also on the Wii U.
Nice use of Troy’s “BAM! Shock dodge!”
Something I realized was that the karts with small wheels had low points on the item stat and ones with big wheels had the opposite
That's a good catch, thanks for sharing!
This was my childhood.
When I was bored I got my DS and booted it up.
I didn’t play multiplayer since I didn’t know anyone around me so the missions and all the maps would give me nonstop fun.
I broke the DS which it was a very special DS but I still have that game to this day.
Wait, CPUs rubberband in this game? I never noticed because I snaked.
lowercaseletters It’s weird, they don’t really rubber band. They kinda speed up at random parts of the track. Like I can certainly out run them easily too, even without snaking, but I’ve played the game so much in a span of 2 weeks straight, that i figured that out at certain corners or straight ways, their top speed over powers.
JigsawFlex Oh ok. Thanks for explaining.
lowercaseletters omfg heyyy
Stardark9 Omg, the Wolftamer X himself????
:0
One interesting thing I noticed on this game when I was a kid is that there was/is always a CPU that would dominate a race, and so every time I saw a bowser on the plane cart, I would push them off the side of Delfino square and then just watch Bowser catch up with everyone after having him collisioned with the side rails on that course. How I even noticed this as an 8 year old kid was by the main screen watching the cpus race and Mario was always the one to be the dominating CPU, so I correlated that with the cpus that would do the best during my races and decided to mess with the cpus, just to watch them catch up.
This game is my childhood
It's crazy how old this game is now.
Ikr it’s my childhood as well as my cousins too...........
This content actually was better than I expected, which actually says a lot because I tend to have high hopes for basically everything...
Glad you enjoyed it!
For the 20th fact I actually have a theory.
The item stat is directly related to the kart's tires size, sooo does the items someway are saved in the tires and the items you might get depends on how much items fit in the tire itself???
I found it logical when I was young....
I discovered that Item mean that how many Mushroom(s) you will get in Time Trial, Low = 1 Mushy, Full = 3 Mushies
NintendaMovies and Games That's right, because as they are in the tires, they need to fit in them.
Another theory, ITEMS CAN BE SLICED. AND THEN REFORMED.
I'll put it with an example, let's suppose that you're in a time trial with a small tire kart, you'll actually have half of the mushroom on each back tire.
With normal tires, you have exactly one mushroom in each back tire.
And with big tires you'll get one and a half mushrooms in each one.
Why the back tires?
Basically because of the Wavidson, since it only have 3 tires.
Same as the R.O.B.L.E.G.S., but this time they are in a huge single tire.
Blue shells strike a kart-length or so in front of you--the expectation being that you will drive into the explosion. But if you fly through the air facing sideways, the blue shell will miss you completely. The traditional technique to dodge them (charge an MT, then at the right moment, release it and hop the same direction) works because you're facing sideways at just the right moment. Knowing this, you can dodge blue shells in many more situations than you might otherwise think, such as any minor bump in the track or jumps.
The four karts you mention are simply the fastest relative to their cornering and offroad ability. Slower kart -> better cornering and offroad. Mushmellow is almost viable but just barely outclassed by Egg1. It's good enough to troll with.
The items stat gives you more triples (bananas, shells, mushrooms), but you can't get triples in wi-fi so high items karts are a waste there. This is probably why people think they're useless.
CPUs on mirror mode travel at MT speeds for the first 2 laps then suddenly slow down on the third. I guess the developers wanted you to crawl your way from last to first in one lap to prove your skill, but you can keep up with them anyway if you know what you're doing.
PS. Snackin' iz chestin'
i got light headed playing balloon battle at least twice :I
Really? How come??
blowing into the mic
@@cornballcantaim Ahh. Yeah I remember blowing as hard as you can until realizing it was better to do it softer lol.
Well, press select then
people use small wheel im mario kart 8 and deluxe because they have a high mini turbo stat, which is a hidden stat but is very important as theres no wheelies or snaking
All (main series) Mario Kart games have featured either the fake item box, or SNES rainbow road, but never both.
In my family Mariokart DS was the origin of us yelling
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba- Blue Shell! When we were about to fire one
MarioKart DS and New Super Mario Bros. Was my childhood
The GBA version (Super Circuit)is the one I recall with retro tracks having the snes lineup in it as a secret. You had to finish a Grand Prix with a total score of 100 coins exactly. I remember when I discovered this by accident cause I played the game without a guide , when I finally got to read a guide a whole lot years later I had more shortcuts than what the guide had
Edit: Saw your comments about retro tracks, still Super circuit was only the third game and it was so cool that it included all those additional tracks to mess around with!
justmetal227 Definitely! I do really wish it had the actual SNES assets tho! I just unlocked all the courses last year on 150cc, took a while haha.
I played that games 5 years straight from 2001 to 06
I found this game in my uncle's car for free wasn't even his
Where tf did that even come from then?
I'm suing you and your uncle
I found a copy of this lying around near a train station
the321 sweet lucky dude hahaha
Zvorak Zekrom holy shit
I know this is late but if you hop (R) after you lauched in the air you can jump higher. Also if you hop when you land you fly half the height then you did before.
Star Aiden I’ve actually noticed this! But I surprisingly didn’t ever think about covering it for this video... great observation sir!
When I was a kid, me and all of my friends only knew the select method for balloon battle, the blowing method was actually the one no-one knew about 😂
Lmao, same!
Unfortunately for me I only knew the blowing method.
StupidMarioBros501
I think it isn't that unfortunate, the select method is very slow. Ever since I discovered the blowing method I haven't touched select during any balloon battle anymore.
I don't mind blowing at all, and it the balloons get filled extremely fast
Dave Van Tol I kinda have to use the select button though because for some reason the blowing method doesn't work well with my 3DS. Funny thing is, my mic works fine with every other game except MKDS. Maybe I'm not blowing into the mic the right way for MKDS or something lol.
StupidMarioBros501
I knew both :)
The item stat was used for time trials. If you got a full item stat, you get 3 mushrooms. If you have a weak item stat, you only get two or one mushroom
All 8 player/cpu colors are identical to the colors used in 8-player smash 👌👌👌...
The CHAD That’s hella observant for you to say omg.
JigsawFlex I GREW TF UP WITH THIS GAME🤣
There's no gray.
The item stat actually affects something! It changes the amount of mushrooms you start off with in Time Trials!
thank you for acknowledging the truth :)
This is definitely correct and in no way wrong whatsoever.
@@T_Bagz193 im right tho
I remember my friend explaining to me the boost at the start, and I was amazed.
It was pretty revolutionary at the time!
20 facts about me and my cousins childhood COMPLETELY?!?!! No.......IM NOT CRYING GO AWAY
I remember bring this game onto the bus and playing with 3 of my friends, and just obliterating them in any way i could, using the slowest kart, fastest kart, same kart as them, using my own personal "shortcuts". Thats was great.
The items stat determines how many mushrooms you get in Time Trials
I don't know If someone said this already but Wario is the only character who stops his winning animation on the battle modes and I think this is random because sometimes the game stops the animation and other times, It doesn't stop
Okay so I know this video is old and all but Mario will either say "Woohoo!" or "Here we go!" on the Nintendo logo depending on what version of the game your playing on.
Unmeltable Dude I did not know that, thanks for letting me know!
That's not true, it only depends if you play on the original phat DS or the later models.
No it’s based on if you unlocked all the characters or not
The reason people us roller wheels in MK8 is because the benefits of high handling and and extremely fast mini-turbo buildup (known as traction) make up for the slow speed. It also allows you to use a trick called "Reverse wall-bonking" which is where you hit a wall in a way that allows you to pivot in place while not losing that much speed or any mini-turbo that you have built up.
If you watch the world record for Yoshi's Valley you can see this trick used in the straightaway right before the large U-turn, they use it to pivot and reposition for a second and third mini-turbo.
Forry20XX Thanks for the info! Did not know that!
The poltergeist 4000 is the Kart 🤣
Did anyone else know that ALL Mario kart mission bosses are from super Mario 64 DS?
Now that you say it
True
My friend and I would always play this it was sooooo fun. I remember when we were playing mirror and after we beat it we got rob and we went crazy. Ahhh good times....
That’s nuts! Yeah when I got ROB tbh, I was like WHO’S THAT?!
Concerning the blowing for the balloon, the secret was not to blow in the microphone like you were trying to blow out a bonfire. A soft blow that can be felt on the hand but barely heard was the way to do it. It was significantly faster than holding the select button.
Same goes for that infuriating balloon flight minigame with Yoshi in New Super Mario Bros.
Aah, such a memories when this game was first released. It was so fun to play.
Btchcrank Still is!!
@@JigsawFlex Sure but when it was released it was easier play it with anyone and online services was still on.
I actually notice the difference of item stats. When I would use one with a high item stat, I could get red shells in second or even first place, but with a lower item stat I could never get that
That might've been luck from your side, as the pros in the mkds community and the modders have already proven that the item stat doesn't increase your chances of getting a better item. The item stat only demonstrates the amount of mushrooms you get at the start of a Time Trials run
5:52 Nitendo DS: Turn Off Your Engine Switch!
Nitendo Switch: Me?
Nitendo DS: No, No, No, No,
In races, the CPU has a " rubber band" effect where if your very far into the race, the CPU will get a speed increase to make the race a challenge & when the CPU is in the lead, they slow down so it's fair.
Item also determines how many mushrooms you get in Time Trials, so stuff like Egg 1 gets 1, but R.O.B LGS gets 3.
Ze Memerr who dafug is rob? I only know of the secret character called... Dry bones
Not Claptrap I'm pretty sure you're meant to win every cup.
I unlocked him years and years ago so I'm not sure.
ONE thing I noticed was that all the race courses in the Shell Cup were the first courses of their respective Mario Kart titles overall (Except for Moo Moo Farm. The first course in that one was Luigi Raceway).
Cool video dude! MKDS was my first MK and roller wheels are used for Mini Turbo stat.
O lol hi
Mario Aguilar Hey
Mario Aguilar Who are you again?
I had this GAME (still do) , and I could always, ALWAYS REMEMBER DAISY. I must've reset it somehow, as I was super young and stupid, so it's really reassuring to find out im not insane.
You watch Troy cuz BAM SHOCK DODGE
x Shockr x Yeah I’ve been so addicted to Mario Kart lately, so of course Troy is one of the top TH-camrs I watch right now haha.
JigsawFlex yeah he’s a preety cool guy I’ve been watching him for years
The best way to avoid being hit by the blue shell is to let your other opponent go past, once they get hit on the Rainbow Road track, nudge them off the track (Make sure you're Bowser and knock Yoshi off}
You don't understand how much respect I have for you for not going over 10:00 when you had the chance :)
Solely made this video for fun! Didn't ever expect this to blow up LOL.
4:49 i see what you’re saying. usually the last course in the last ever cup of mariokart is scary and eerie (somewhat) but instead yoshi circuit is a happy, wholesome course.
Wow you can just PRESS A SINGAL BUTTON TO INFLATE BALLONS AND I HATE BLOWING IN THAT STUPID MIC Thank you for saving my life...
How did you just know about this right now
Simple Adjustment, all you do is press/hold select, so easy a 3 year old could do it, I know this 3 year old found out about it til he was 11, but all you do is hold the damn button & the balloons will blow, NO MICROPHONE!
I've beaten MKDS all the way through and when I say all the way through, I mean ALL THE WAY THROUGH - 3 stars on every cup, every mission, beaten all dev ghosts in Time Trial mode, played like 300 games in battle mode (mostly by myself :P) and discovered some glitches and shortcuts all to myself. If there's something in this video I don't know about I'm gonna be extremely ashamed of myself.
Edit : Happily for me I knew all of the points but I'd like to add some points : the red shells wrapping around the kart is TOTAL BULLCRAP (and I won't even mention it actually hits THE SENDER 30% of the time), the reason why NPCs go really fast at times is because the DS didn't have the hardware capacity of making the "better" NPCs actually drive better than the "worse" NPCs, so they decided to simply make them faster than they're used to, and for someone who spent 2 years of their life hardcore trying to get 3 stars on every cup, I can definitely say having 5 blue shells thrown my way in 1 race - yes, a single race - kiiiinda disproves the fact NPCs get bad items.... just saying.
“The lightning theme”
~JigsawFlex 2018
I didn't know what to call it LOL
Actually the start boost can be performed more than one way. Since Mario Kart Wii, I always held down the gas until it says 1, in which I then do a quick double tap and hold the button again before GO. It still works in Deluxe if you want to try it.
0:35 Perfect gameplay😂😂
Leader 748282918 you can tell that I just did that mission just to get b roll lmao.
If you get far enough ahead, the rubber banding stops and they just let you go do great laps. It stops the blue shells for that race.
Jigsaw: Nintendo, what drugs were you on when you made the ROB LGS?
Nintendo: Yes
this video was really original and fun to watch. You’ve earned yourself a subscriber. Keep it up 😁
Nathan Mee Thank you so much!!
I remember MarioKart DS. When I was little, I used to play all the time with my cousins.
(1/30/19)
0:20 *i spot luigi's mansion. you are DEFINITELY my least favorite human now.*
When you're 8 years old sometimes you had to make sacrifices to get new games. Don't worry though, I eventually rebought the game! Just had to sell it at the time because I wasn't playing it anymore and so I can experience new games!
@@JigsawFlex new super Mario bros 1 vs 1 is the funniest gaming experience I ever had. This game was as good as Mario kart ds.
Holding the button down for rocket start was also in Super Mario Kart, and halfway in 64 and Super Circuit where you hold just before the race starts.
In Time Trials, you can start with one, two, or three mushrooms. I think it depends on your kart's item stat, but i'm not 100% sure.
DS, along with WII, doesn't have a rainbow road for retro.
It's easy to assume that each character has 3 karts, but later you unlock access to 7 karts per character before unlocking access to all combinations. The fact that Nintendo gave characters access to an extra 4 specific karts belonging to other characters makes me wonder why...
The blooper inks a lot sooner than in other titles.
Some of the karts the characters have seem odd. Waluigi has an excavator, but he never appeared in any construction-type games. Bowser has a plane which he's never used in any other game, and Dry Bones has a tank. Maybe Nintendo was intending to use these for some game concepts? Could Waluigi have been a construction worker at some point?
I have Mario kartDS Still.. 👍👏Thx to me! I play it nearly all day.
Good to hear! Played a lot before making this video and played more after but I haven’t recently... maybe I’ll pay a visit again soon!
The GBA game was the first to include “Retro Tracks”
i remember when i was little i played the sh't out of mario kart wii and ds. i remember when i finally completed it on the ds i went to my cousins house and he deleted all my data
My friend's little sister did that once
your cousin is a little dipshit
Knowing you can hold select to blow up balloons just made balloon battle a whole lot easier.
Philip Leaver Lol well I guess you’re welcome
Hey,
This was a good video. You're a good creator.
Appreciate it!
When I was younger I always wondered why the robot from my dads Nintendo collection was in my Mario kart
3:57 NO. WAY.
Bretaigne WAY.
As a kid I would always just rub the mic with my thumb. It worked just as well as blowing, if not better.
Well that's something new I've never head before!
hey, mario kart super circuit did retro tracks first
don' disrespect the OG
Awesome video man! Just found your channel, thought it was quite similar to Space Chicken’s haha. Keep up the great content, subbed!
Adityax26 Never heard of him till now! Thanks for watching, and thanks for the support!
I used to play this game in 2009 like a shit ton when I was three and I LOVED to watch the CPU's stop when so I could see where they stopped. This game is absolute nostalgia.
Is it weird that I already knew the majority of the facts before this video. In fact I got do triggered that they removed the lighting jungle when I would play as a kid cause I really liked it
Not sure if someone said it or not, but aside from the red shells being accurate, if somehow it missed you or you managed to stop and go back (such as bumping a wall) the shell will literally pass you, slow down, and then smack you in the face before you can even speed up and still hit you. This tended to happen to me whenever I was recently hit, so i'd get chain hit if they had multiple red shells.
I believe no one has said it yet, until now! Thanks for the information! Didn't know that haha.
0:48 Y O S H I
I've been playing this game for 12 years and never knew about the select balloon thing. This changes everything.
The no flames and cpu damage animations were due to cartridge limitation, I mean it was a original ds title the ds wan't built for lots of 3d polygons and animations in use which is why cpus have a lower sprite count for the character model
Loved it
One thing that nobody is talking about is that the item Stat is tied to the tire size. The standard karts have a medium stat, the big tires have a high stat, the small tires have a low stat. That means every character's best performing kart is the low item stat. Another thing tied to tire size is drift (though not as drastically different as the item stat, as each character has a general stat, Peach being the highest and ROB being the lowest). The smaller the tires, the slightly higher the drift.
5:25 :)
T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas indeed
0:30 You have recognized him. You have earned my respect, Fellow Dry bones Fan.
You guys ready?
Spanish Yoshi:YO SHI
My brother and I owned the Nintendo DS with Mario Kart. We would play battle mode on local play and one night he got mad and shook the DS so violently that the top part fell off. 😂
I also owned 5 Mario Kart DS games because I kept on losing them.
I have another random fact! DS was the last game in the series where the final lap fanfare went straight into the sped up course music. All subsequent games there’s like a second-long gap
