* KillerApp: While the ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' series was always a top-seller on Nintendo platforms, ''DS'' shattered all previous sales records, and was a turning point in Mario Kart evolving from a mere Mario SpinOff to a AAA franchise in its own right.
* ModelDissonance: Most of the racers have either no legs, or stumps where their legs would be. Normally this wouldn't be a problem since everyone is stuck in a kart, but Waluigi's [[https://www.mariowiki.com/Zipper_(kart) Zipper]] is a motorcycle that has much less room to hide the driver's lower body. Once you get a gold trophy in every Mirror Mode cup to enable every character to use every kart, you too can see the glory of things like Yoshi with just a torso and upper body.
