This was a childhood game of mine this and Mario Kart DS were not only my first Mario games but also my first Nintendo developed games, I ended up trading my original copies which I did regret but then I realized years later that those original copies were bootlegs my dad bought on eBay, we were both surprised but it all worked out in the end, I later bought official copies from my local flea market for $9 for the pair.
@@DavidMoul31 That's a fantastic flea market grab! Yeah, Mario Kart DS was also fantastic. A great installment and I really enjoyed it. I didn't get into the GBA or GameCube Mario Kart games anywhere near as much as the DS one.
Being on a handheld, it physically hurt so much to play this but I HAD to. I adored how Mario returned to his side-scrolling roots. But I still despise the "New" naming convention.
I totally get that. I'm really on a DS kick all of a sudden. It's a console that's kinda lost in the "in-between" if you will. No one is talking about it.
@@SNEStalgia For its time, the DS was a Cadillac. I enjoyed Pokemon Pearl, and of course this game. But it had some fantastic RPGs! I want to start collecting for it again
Nice mini review! Funny enough, I have the same colored DS! I've never played that Mario but now I will have to find a copy as it looks fun! Great video and keep up the good work!
I got that DS at a yard sale for 20 bucks mint in the box many years ago and I've always hung onto it. And this Mario game was a big deal in our house. It stands up to any other Mario installment you can think of, that's for sure. 👍
Hello from Europe! My husband is a big fan of yours and there's a Mur video playing in our home every day. I was wondering if you and your family and your houses are ok after the hurricane?
That's so kind of you to check on us! We are ok. A little bit of roof damage but nothing serious. So I'm back to working on content and hopefully I'll have new videos next week. I'm honored to be playing in your house daily!
@@Emceemur Oh I'm so happy to hear you are ok. Roof damage sucks but I guess it could have been worse. Take care and we are looking forward to a new video!
@@clivejbarrett Howdy, Clive! Yeah this game was a big deal at our house! And a game my daughter grew up with once she was old enough to play games. Thanks for watching this one, my friend!
What were YOUR go-to jams on Nintendo DS?? Comment below and don't forget to like and subscribe!
I'll have to check this one out my friend.
If you didn't get to play this one, it really stands up to all the Mario entries. It's worth a look!
love the trip down me-mur-ry lane; time to dust off the handhelds and get to work
We actually bought some DS stuff at the expo. I really do want to start collecting for it again. Just good Stuff, no shovelware lol
Great video Mr Mur! Hope to see more videos soon. Any flea market pickup ones coming up? I love those
Yes, I will be filming new game hunting episodes real soon. It's almost Fall weather and that's when the season really heats up! Or cools off. Lol

I was always partial to Trauma Center on the DS :)
Great video Mur
@@UncleStrange I played one of those games on Wii but I never played the DS one! I should get a copy.
What a cool video, I had some awesome times playing NSMB when I used to help my dad at work. It was one of the first games I 100%'d. Great Video!

NEW Super Mario Bros on DS and RC Pro Am on NES are still 2 games that I go back to today!
I'm an RC Pro AM nut! I seriously cannot get enough of that game. Talk about a classic!!
@@Emceemur I'm with ya! Still one of my all time favorites!

G'day mate. One of the best side scrollers ever! DS was a great little hand held.

Having nostalgia, about a game, that was built to profit off of nostalgia 🤣.
The irony! And the realization of how old Im getting lolol
