Great video! I'm an MKDS pro and I think you did really well here. Would be awesome to see more MKDS content from you! Gabe is pretty skilled and likes to troll sometimes but there's lots of other players who can help you play online and learn a lot about snaking and other tech. Great job!
Hey! Really enjoyed watching this video. Mario Kart DS has been my favorite game since I was a kid and I'm still in the community today cuz it's just such a great game with great people. I gotta say, for someone with not a lot of experience you played pretty decently, a lot better than people who refuse to MT at all! I think you covered the game pretty well. Obviously as someone with so much knowledge about it that people literally call me "The Voice of Mario Kart DS" I could nitpick a bunch of stuff and add things but you did a great job and I hope you make some more stuff on this game in the future! I'd also highly recommend watching a comprehensive tutorial video that myself and a few other karters made for this game that you can find on Pikalex's channel. Really helps with learning some tech and getting familiar with the advanced stuff. I'm rambling now but uh... love to see content like this :)
Thanks so much! I think I actually did watch part of that tutorial a while back, but I'll make sure to watch all the way through sometime soon. Glad you enjoyed the video!
There was so much salt and debate over snaking in this game back in the day. Some said it sucks, it's a bug, it ruins the game. Others said it's a perfectly viable strat, it's an advanced technique, get good. Either way, if you weren't snaking online in MKDS, you weren't winning.
I'm really glad you played this game, it has always been a very nostalgic game for me! Have great day man and stay safe, hope you're 2024 is going good!
Play the mission mode and get at least 1 star in each mission, and you get a special reward. Please make a follow up video doing this. Don't look anything up though
@@beanzard64 I've actually got an idea for something else you could do, you know how you hold A and B at the same time and move to turn in place? You should totally go on Luigi's Mansion, drive forwards onto the first set of stairs outside of the mansion, and turn in place!
well it was literally the VERY FIRST game that utilized online multiplayer that nintendo made and it was on a console that came out in 2004 so they couldn't get everything to sync completely right. That being said, with some cheats you can still play all the maps online but a few of them do have bugs with items disappearing.
i grew up with mkds so watching one of my favorite TH-cam really made me happy. btw if u want to to get better at snaking i recommend playing figure 8 bc its only 2 turns.
Figure 8 is the best for learning how to snake not because of the 2 turns, but because it has 2 long straights (otherwise he could use Baby Park for snaking lessons, as well lol) Snaking usually refers to the snake-like movement on straights, not the turns
@mkdsgabe854 Spoken like someone whose never faced against it online. They're going faster than you, doing better lines than you, and pulling better items than you, it's obscene.
@@omegahaxors9-11 You know why he spoke like that? Not only because he drove in this vid, but also because he knows this game very well. Have you ever faced it online btw? Speaking of items: it doesn't get better items technically, nor does it gain any more luck for it
Guys should I get myself a copy of MKDS? It was a childhood favorite of mine and I have recently been overwhelmed with this feeling of nostalgia for these games again.
My two friends and I get together every week and play mariokart, we’ve got Wii, 8DX, and DS, and we always choose to play DS and all agree it’s the best in the series
Dry Bones with Egg 1 is the most balanced combo for an all 32 tracks speedrun and for online play. ROB-BLS is only good for certain tracks in time trial like Figure-8 Circuit.
@@beanzard64 It only does for the Off-Road and the Weight (the off-road becomes minimally worse with heavier characters). Any other stat is unaffected tho Also, we were technically talking about the Karts only here
Well it’s barely possible blue shells online in MKDS because it 100cc but it’s possible it requires u to use a shroom and release ur mini turbo and hop on the same exact frame I think to dodge it but I know it possible.
It's enough to just use the drift boost and the hop. On 100cc, it's track specific tho, as it only works in positions, where the road makes your movement a bit quicker than usual
I played this game in 2024 too, Except I gave myself hell for completing everything with three stars. And you don’t get anything for completing level seven of mission mode.
How strange that you upload this video now, and I literally ordered Mario Kart DS like a week ago and it's arriving today, within the next hour. Weird coincidence
@@HeyItIsMichal I've actually been playing this game for my entire life and I got 3 stars on everything, but my baby sister somehow lost my copy of MKDS, so I just want a replacement copy. God dang the game is so good.
@@ivypuddings2I believe they meant lag trailing with items (in case you are unaware, the act of hitting someone with a revolving shell from a triple red/green on your screen causing it to seemingly hit your opponent out of nowhere due to the lag online play introduces... And if you are aware, good on you!)
I never got a bomb in the “blast” crabs mini game. I did not know it had bo-bombs Also world 6 is not the final world. You gotta have 3 stars on every mission which unlocks world 7 and that’s how you get the new title screen
You need to have a router capable of connecting to the DS. Sadly, most modern ones don't really work for it, but if you have an android, you can use a mobile hotspot with no password. Besides that, it's as simple as typing in a DNS.
If you change your DNS settings on the DS, you can still play online through a custom server known as Wiimmfi. You just need to have a router/hotspot that supports the DS.
Can you do WFC on WII U virtual console version I know the answer is probably going to be no but there’s always that speck of hope. Also I just got MARIOKART WII again a couple days ago so I hope to see you all in a WFC match soon!
I wait on Worldwide for about a minute or so then the little wheel on the top screen freezes then it says youve Been disconnected to wFC I don't know why it does that
@@JaydonMario it's a typical problem with wiimmfi. It's not a great server, but the only one we have. You just have to continuously retry and pray it'll work
QUESTION: Does anyone have the newest DNS codes for Wiimmfi for the DS? Months ago, I tried to connect online to Wiimmfi on my DS, but I couldn't get any DNS code to work for the life of me, I kept getting error code 52100, a DNS error.

Oki :3
he has some nice gnashes
Du
the fact that I scrolled all of the way down 💀
PLEASE try to get 1 star in each mission! You won't regret it!👍
The speed you can reach in this game is crazy.
The speed you can lose is crazy
The tech in this game is crazy
Everything in this is crazy
RIP to all of the broken D-Pads, A buttons, and R buttons from this game alone
@@RubyWitchcraft i like ur pfp
Insane how much variety this game had for a handheld! No other Mario Kart game had this much variety since Wii
Wii released after this game
@@autismandgaming4532 ik
Wii was the only game that came close
@Ronin1155 What's wrong with handheld?
I think this game fit best on DS and Wii fit best on the console.
Mario Kart DS is really great
If you get star rank in every mission, there is a 7th mission block, and the boss of that block is a wigler
Maybe I'll have to try that sometime!
Mario Kart DS is by far my favorite Mario Kart, i used to just play it non-stop as a kid
I forgot this game even had tracking for your lines during time trials.. I love DS so much

I found an old DS in my house and I found Mario Kart DS alongside it and I played it on like Tuesday. I'm not even kidding
I've never played this game online before, but I have heard that some of the tracks aren't available online which I've always found strange.

also really good video we need another
Thanks! Glad you liked it

The holding items behind is a keyboard thing that many emulators struggle with.
Not here. You genuinely can't hold items online

Good video. You are very underrated.

I think so! I thought it was mediocre for the longest time, but I recently bought it again and it's loads more fun than I remember
This was my childhood. Waiting ages for multiplayer matches.
13:27 You can dodge Blue Shells if you hit yourself with a green shell or fake block
For those that don’t know, there was supposed to be a Mission Mode in MK Wii but it got scrapped before the final release.
My two friends and I get together every week and play mariokart, we’ve got Wii, 8DX, and DS, and we always choose to play DS and all agree it’s the best in the series
That's awesome!
I’d love to play this game online but idk how :
If you still wanna play this game, the meta combo is Dry Bones on Dry Bomber / ROB BLS
Dry Bones with Egg 1 is the most balanced combo for an all 32 tracks speedrun and for online play. ROB-BLS is only good for certain tracks in time trial like Figure-8 Circuit.
And the Dry Bomber is only the best option, if you're new to the competitive scene and want to learn PRB in the easiest way
Interesting, I had no idea that character choice actually effected stats
@@beanzard64 It only does for the Off-Road and the Weight (the off-road becomes minimally worse with heavier characters). Any other stat is unaffected tho

it's a little more than a frame for 150cc but on 100cc it's only possible on certain slippery surfaces or with a VERY well timed shroom.
I used to be a boss at it then came back this year and I’m still a bossy lad
I played this game in 2024 too, Except I gave myself hell for completing everything with three stars. And you don’t get anything for completing level seven of mission mode.
How strange that you upload this video now, and I literally ordered Mario Kart DS like a week ago and it's arriving today, within the next hour. Weird coincidence

I’m gonna play this game after I’m done modding my 2ds! I’m really just interested in the mission mode ngl
Hope you enjoy it!
there's actually a 7th set of missions, avaiable when you beat all missions with at least a star rank
Don't you need 3 stars everywhere to unlock that?
I completely forgot that DS doesn't have trailing, that's probably why the online meta is so much healthier than MK8D.
It does??? There's been a competitive time trial scene for over 18 years now LOL
check out the mario kart ds players page!

Using a 2ds xl while using the circle pad and burning my fingers I see this is an absolute win🍷🗿
I never got a bomb in the “blast” crabs mini game. I did not know it had bo-bombs
Also world 6 is not the final world. You gotta have 3 stars on every mission which unlocks world 7 and that’s how you get the new title screen
1 star on every mission is enough. Also, you need to finish mirror mode to get the new title screen, not finish Level 7
bro wtf it was 2024 before 11 moths yoooo
1:45 it depends on your item stat😁
8:38 wth is Rob! He is not a Mario character, YOU MODDER!
How did you get the Wiimmfi to work on Mario Kart DS online? I tried that, but it wouldn't let me!
You need to have a router capable of connecting to the DS. Sadly, most modern ones don't really work for it, but if you have an android, you can use a mobile hotspot with no password. Besides that, it's as simple as typing in a DNS.

How to play it online? It must be the wiiu VC version CUZ online matches are dead on DS

No you cannot play on Wii U Virtual Console but MelonDS is a great and easy to use emulator that you can play online with
I'm playing this Game right Now And I'm waiting for opponents to join but I can't find any players mine just disconnects anyway
It isn't always super active, you might be able to find a person or two if you play again another time.
I wait on Worldwide for about a minute or so then the little wheel on the top screen freezes then it says youve Been disconnected to wFC I don't know why it does that
@@JaydonMario it's a typical problem with wiimmfi. It's not a great server, but the only one we have. You just have to continuously retry and pray it'll work
If you streamed it you could’ve got a full 4 player room
Maybe then I could've beat more than one person one time
you should play mor mk7 because in april 3ds online will shut down (im sad)
Online multiplayer for me won't work because it's says that it's been halted
