When I got Mario Kart DS back in 2013, I once thought it was a DS version of Mario Kart Wii until I saw the back of the cover where the year says 2005 instead of 2008. I also noticed that the tracks are different.
Oh wow, that's interesting! That makes sense since you played Mario Kart DS very late into its lifecycle. But, DS is definitely a title worth checking out. Certainly revolutionary for the Mario Kart franchise on handhelds!
Oh wow these tracks actually looked really good in DS! Obviously there were some minor differences - such as the blue ramp being missing in Moo Moo Meadows, but other than that they were pretty much identical. Great video, Hunter!
I do know that there are custom servers for Mario Kart DS Online, but they are not as active as say Mario Kart Wii. But, there are definitely modders out there like the one showcased in this video that have amazing work for this game. Mario Kart DS is definitely a hidden gem of the Mario Kart franchise!
Mario kart Ds was my favorite childhood game That was an awesome Dodge I’m playing Mario kart eight to try to get gold Mario unlocked and I dodged a red shell and a blue shell at the same time and got first place at the last second of the race
@@SweetTrecee Mario Kart DS is amazing! I really do want to play it more since I didn't get to play it growing up. Also, good luck on your grind for Gold Mario! You got this!
People don't realize how hard is to make a Mario kart DS hack that hack is probably abandoned@@Ballomatic_ but also trust me Mario kart DS can have pretty graphics very close to MKWII there a TH-camr called Koopa master that is also remaking mkwii in mkds
Yeah, probably would have. However, I don't think they changed any of the music tracks. They probably just overlayed the new tracks on the old ones, without changing the music.
Sucks that in Mario Kart Ds there are no moving roads like the ones in Toads Factory, and no the water from Yoshi Falls cant be used as a substitute. For Toads Factory they need to either improvise on the moving roads or just make them from scratch, which is infinitely easier said than done.
Yeah, the creators did start on Toad's Factory, but it is just a road with no background or anything, so I didn't bother covering that track. I really hope they come back to finish this.
So, there is a link in the description where you can download the mod, which you will need a patcher for. But, once you do that, if you want to play it on original hardware, you will need a flash DS cartridge called an R4 card, which is very inexpensive. You can also play it on emulator if you want, which is easier. Hope this helps!
@@Noshadesfunky I humbly disagree with you. I do not think a game should be judged based upon mods that are made of the game. The only thing that a game should be judged by is the content that is created for the game itself and nothing outside of that.

Yeah, I got into games late, and I was twelve at the time. I wasn't a gamer before the 2010s.

Great video, Hunter!
@@PurplePh0enix Yeah, I was very impressed with the tracks!
The glider ramp? That was part of the MK8DX remake of this track
@@daemonmoreno9456 no there was another ramp like in the middle of the road before the section with the Monty Moles. That is the one I am referring to
@@PurplePh0enix ah, ok
0:06 Please tell me you fathom the lore of BFDI
This is really impressive! I hope the creator continues with this
@@TekuJames I hope so too! It's so good!
Mushroom Gorge had Choco Mountain Music
@@RoboticScorpion Yeah, it's kinda funny lol. I wish the mod creator made custom music, but it's cool.
mario kart ds is a throwback i wonder if the community for that game is alive haven't played this in a long time

I like how every time stamp is because of Four at 0:06
I know literally! It's hilarious! 😂
@@Ballomatic_ it also makes me happy so many people get the reference XD
Yo this looks good! Will definitely have to check this out.
It is really good! Link is in the description if you want to check out the mod.
Wow this looks cool I'm very impressed with this
It is awesome! I'm glad you enjoy it!
0:06 WAIT WHA-
I saw Four from BFB... O.O
Yep, I figured the image fit lol
Overall this looks awesome! Excited to see what the creator does to the Mario Kart Dual Screen Wii 👍.
@@RoboticScorpion There hasn't been an update for this mod in like a year. But, I hope they come and finish it!

@@Ballomatic_ thanks hunter is me Sweet B
0:06 FOUR FROM BFDI!?!?
Yes indeed!
hold up........ THEY DIDNT MAKE TOAD'S FACTORY, who cares about Mario circuit toad's factory is a gem
@@MKrealmWiihackn Yeah, sadly, Toad's Factory is just a road and no background. But, I hope they finish Toad's Factory one day.

its a way more complicated track
0:06 IS THAT BFB FOUR-

BEEFY DIE REFERENCE 🗣🗣🗣
Yes indeed!
Very fun video! I’ve noticed you’ve gotten better with commentary. Good job! 😁👍
Thank you! I try my best with commentary lol. It's a work in progress!
Them making Mario Circuit over Toad’s Factory gives me PTSD from DS’s Retro Tracks. 😰
Yeah, I wish they finished Toad's Factory. It's literally so broken with just the track itself and no background.
Would’ve made more sense to use Sky Garden music rather than Choco Mountain music for Mushroom Gorge
Yeah, probably would have. However, I don't think they changed any of the music tracks. They probably just overlayed the new tracks on the old ones, without changing the music.

We are doing something similair to this but with mario kart 8 deluxe in mario kart 7
@@ninmods402 Oh yeah, I did see that project! I would definitely love to cover that in the future!
@@Ballomatic_ we are cooking, you will get to play it soon :)
you should've played on funky kong on the flame runner
@@MKrealmWiihackn If only that were an option. Sadly, I do not think there are bikes in this mod since Mario Kart DS never had bikes.
The best track is missing
You ignored that there was a mega mushroom
Hello Ballomatic how are you doing today?😊
I am doing very well! How are you doing?
Yo ballo you know how i can download this onto my em- uhh ds?
So, there is a link in the description where you can download the mod, which you will need a patcher for.

Rip toad’s factory
@@traceyjeffery3961 Sadly, Toad's Factory in this is just the road, no background or anything.
@@Ballomatic_ OH!!! They updated it then from last time i played it used to just be ds Luigi mansion
@@MaddieOmega Yeah, I think with a 100% save file, you can just maybe get other courses. But, I would have to look further into that
No toads factory but moo moo meadows on top
Yeah, Toad's Factory is sadly unfinished, but Moo Moo Meadows is great in this!
@@Ballomatic_ it really looks like it
lol take about backward compatibility, this is forward compatibility. Get it ds then Wii in order.
That is the most accurate statement I've heard all day lol
Mario Kart Wii DS edition still better
Why mario kart DS is the worst one: Wii luigi and mario circuit would genuinely be an F tier with DS’s engine.

@@Ballomatic_ Mb i meant officialy. the modders put their time and effort and i respect them.
