I don’t see how Goomba hasn’t blown up yet. His content is equally as entertaining as the top gaming channels at worst. It must be coming soon.

I like that the Lonely Goomba playable character has no Kart. There's just a bunch of people in karts racing around at 150CC and then you just see a Goomba absolutely bricking it through Waluigi Pinball at 200mph.

In mission mode, if you bump on the side of the crate instead of head-first, you'll retain most of your speed.

Mario Kart DS was definitely one of my most nostalgic games I have played back then. I really think it’s cool and weird that R.O.B makes a appearance in the game, I mean they put a bloody Tamagotchi character in one of the Mario Kart Arcade games.

Its kind of bonkers how far we've come in this series. Today where hyper examining the layout of 48 DLC courses, in 2005 we where all "Holy shit this map has bumpy bits!". Still really miss the mission mode though.

The worst part of the loop of death is it's a giant blind spot for enemy items.

My earliest memory of Mario Kart DS was getting roasted online by some R.O.B who mastered Snaking.

Views are steadily increasing this year so you never know. I don’t really care if I blow up or not I just wanna be able to make a living from it.

On the point you made about how _DS_ basically set the ground-work for every _Mario Kart_ game after it, I find it interesting that it holds true all the way through to the franchise's logo: starting with _DS,_ the "Mario Kart" name ditched the main series' letter design and replaced it with that sleek "pro-racing" font, and that version of the logo has stuck around all the way through to _8 Deluxe_ and even carried over to _Arcade GP DX_ and _VR_ too.

Technically Mario Kart DS wasn't actually the first entry to feature online play. You could also play online on Mario Kart Double Dash, although that did require a more elaborate setup.

Technically Mario Kart Double uses the LAN setup, not the Wi-Fi setup. So using 2 to 8 GameCube (each with a Broadband Adapter and a copy of the game) and the required Hub/Cables, you can have up to 5-8 players / each with their own screen (which can lead to 9-16 players for co-op fun). I believer there are tools that do allow the use to make this work online, but these are unofficial, and only work using Dolphin Emulator (kzread.info/dash/bejne/lpyor7V8fau-mtY.html), so I'm not counting that as online support.

If you wanna get technical, Mario Kart Super Circuit has the GameCube beat because of a fun little toy called the Mobile System GB, which allowed players to connect their GBA to a Mobile System, an adapter, and their phone to play online with each other. This was Japan exclusive, ended in 2002 and the only notable games were Mario Golf and Super Circuit

I've been playing double dash for years and I never notice that shortcut in Yoshi's Circuit at 10:22. Thanks for the tip Goomba.

I remembered something neat about the multiplayer where if a friend didn't have Mario Kart on them, they could still join a multiplayer party but they would only be able to play as Shy Guy. It's cool that he's there but the fact that this was the only way to play him outside of using a game genie or an R4 card at the time kinda made the roster feel incomplete just because 1 character was locked behind a very specific set of requirements. Now he's basically gone forever now by normal means, alone in a void between the main game itself and the discontinued online service for the DS. Literally in DS limbo.

I remember watching you as a kid and just remembered you. Glad to see your still active

Still the snappiest Mario Kart to me. Everything feels so fluid and getting hit by items doesn't take you out for too long. It just feels right to me, minus the amount of D-pads and R buttons I've worn through...

Whenever i go back and play this one i always get so infuriated by the unfair rubber-banding.

I loved this game so much I broke the L and R buttons on my DS good times

I really love these new features you been doing lately. I been watching you for months now and it's gotten even better over the years. Keep it up Goomba.

I have been watching you for more than half my life and I'm just astonished that you still put out insane videos after all these years

I used to love this game as a kid, but you forgot to mention the DS download play. Sure, you could only play two of the cups, but the fact that you could play with eight players with one copy of the game was great at the time. It got me and my friends through alot of middle school bus rides.

Something that can be useful in 150cc is that you can dodge the Blue Shell with a mini turbo and immediately a hard turn hop. That Shell does have a audio que for the timing (when it the Shell goes silent before dropping on you).

It was my first Mario Kart, so of course I'm blinded by nostalgia! You made a great video, covering all the strengths of the game. It's interesting your comment that this game set the framework for the series, it's something that I never really realized despite the fact that I totally felt it when I came back to this DS version... A very cool feature of this game was the fact that you could play with someone who didn't own the game. Yes, there were only the first 8 tracks and 1 character available, but the fact that anyone owning a DS to play with you was great, especially in those days when almost ALL kids owned a DS! The number of birthday parties that have happened where more than 6 players clashed with shells and bananas...

My mom trolled me big time with this one, on the christmas I asked it for. She had hidden the game inside a significantly larger crispbread box, so at first, looking at the presents' sizes, I started frowning when none of the boxes had a DS game box's size x) It took me years to unlock World 7 in Mission mode. Not because it's hard, mind you, it's just that I already was (and still am) so used to Ranking systems being -a total waste of time- there for the hell of it.

6:34 This is my favourite Mario Kart DS Track.

I love that low-poly Lonely Goomba model so much! This was definitely one of my favourite Mario Kart games; and certainly one of my most-played =D

I recently found my old copy of mariokart DS after several years. and started playing it again. Watching this video I can’t believe how much I haven’t actually completed yet. Nice work, I think I am now inspired to grind the game to unlock everything!

I used to play this a lot when I was younger visiting my grandpa at the hospital while the grown ups were talking. It was a good escape

I've been watching this channel for years, and the content is always top notch quality! This goomba is so funny! Keep it up!!

I remember playing this all the time as a kid, to the point where I’d be playing it at bedtime and hiding the ds under my pillow when my mom was coming It has a special place in my heart, even if the drift mechanic was OP

Mission mode was such a nice bonus feature it’s a shame that the Mario Kart Wii missions were locked behind real world timed events and are now lost forever.

For once I'm happy to see a sponsorship, anything to help Lonley Goomba is good.

I'm literally going to lose my mind Goomba made a video about my favorite childhood game Childhood=completed

I love this new chapter in your channel, plus this is the Mario kart I have played the most. The one criticism that I have is that, unlike in the super circuit video, drink driving isn’t a focal point of the narrative: 9.5/10

Mariokart DS is my favorite Mariokart of all time and it's not even close. Snaking with Dry Bones feels so liberating even if it's broken. Every so often I play it just to compete with the staff ghosts on time trials. Besides that it has a combination of the best retro and new battle mode tracks and even though I don't really play battle mode on MK8 deluxe I played battle mode to death on DS. Lastly, the mission mode makes this game the most fun singleplayerwise and I don't understand why they never brought it back. The bosses are from Mario 64 DS so to me it always felt like playing an abridged version of that game

Goomba already showed the flaws with mission mode, considering how repetitive it can get. Super Circuit was better, considering the challenge of the star rankings in terms of single player content, not to mention how its different physics allowed for some truly incredible speed running that is well designed in comparison to snaking.

Ah, Mario Kart DS. Where I used to sit by the window and leech the neighbor's Wi-fi cause we couldn't afford anything but dial-up internet. I remember blistering my thumbs doing snaking too...good times. One thing I remember is having a 1-star rank for the longest time and absolutely dunking on a 3-star racer once, which gave me the drive to be like "if they can achieve 3 stars so can I" and then I grinded to get it myself to show off online, pretty sure this was only months before the service shut down. Very well done on getting 3 stars yourself, it's a lot harder to do in this game and Wii [and GBA, though it's the one game I never played] than in 7 and 8. Really wish they didn't make the good ranks so easy to get in the newer games, and also no longer having it show up anywhere in the stats screen or online, kinda feels pointless for 3 stars now.

Nah I kinda agree. The game would be better without it. But playing now it’s pretty much the only thing that differentiates it.

For me i was only left with one reason to play this game, being the only game i was given with when i was gifted the DS on my birthday. it was pretty fun doing everything it had on to offer but it never ignited the speedrunner in me, neither did i know the drift boost mechanic since i dont think there was a tutorial of showing it. had alot of fun playing Mission Mode.

Mario Kart DS online is my favorite game to play thanks to the high level of snaking involved. It adds an extra layer of excitement and satisfaction that I can't find in other racing games. Also thanks for the shootout :)

I liked this game when I was younger 4 years ago

2:20 if I had a dollar for every time I got proven wrong by someone stuck between 2 pipes, I'd have 33 cents which isn't a dollar but you will never fool me, goomba! I saw you break that pipe!

I loved the bumping mechanic in this game. You could run into someone and depending on your weight, you'd push them a decent amount. Then if you had the mushroom they could get thrown off the track (my favorite spot was the wall at the start of the Luigi's Mansion stage so they had to turn and drive back on the track).

Fun Fact: Mission mode was planned to make a return in mario kart wii but got scrapped and was reworked Into the ones we see in the tournaments also mr bean found them in 2018

as someone who played Mario Kart Super Circuit to 100%, I had no idea blue shells even existed in it.

20:27 Oh yeah I forgot that advance Wars days of ruin had a different title in some regions. To be honest that is easily the best advanced Wars game because it was the most balanced by far and the new units they add were really cool and actually pretty fair and still awesome. I also liked the price changes they made to some units to balance the game more. I always hated how in the previous advance Wars games and anti-air would always cost $1,000 more than a tank when a tank is going to kick an anti-airs ass. Yes I know that an anti-air is meant for taking down air units and they also are really effective against foot soldiers but it was ridiculous that it was more expensive than a tank. I also like that naval units can travel through bridges which is supposed to be basically like as if they're going underneath it although with how things go in the game it's more like they're on top of it or something but still I mean the thought of it was actually pretty awesome and it's definitely helpful at making naval units more useful. I have been enjoying advanced Wars 1 + 2 reboot camp but I really wish they would just make a new game or would have remade Days of rune but I get it People found the more cartoonish style of advanced Wars 1 and 2 and dual strike to be more appealing than the more dark and realistic look of days of ruin
