The sequel to ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'', ''Mario Kart DS'' is a racing game for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS, released in 2005. It is the second handheld ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' game following ''VideoGame/MarioKartSuperCircuit''. It introduced online multiplayer features via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. This game features a mission mode and introduces two new items in the form of Bullet Bill (capable of turning the user into said mook going maximum throttle on autopilot) and Blooper (capable of blocking opponents' views with black ink), as well as the ability to play Versus and Battle modes in single-player. Plus, the "two characters per kart" feature from ''Double Dash!!'' has been dropped, returning it to one driver per vehicle system as with every installment before ''Double Dash!!''.

* DumpStat: Drift and weight can be affected by this trope. Due to the exploit of snaking, it was actually beneficial to have ''less'' drift, since if you had more, you'd be turning too sharply while power sliding on straightaways. The same is said for weight since it's combined with the "offroad" stat. The less weight you had, the faster you could go off road such as in grass or dirt. Plus, bumping into other players had no effect online. The item stat was also pretty useless, especially online where you couldn't get triple items. It was good for some courses during time trials though, as you got more mushrooms to take shortcuts.

** Among all 36 karts available in the game, Mario's karts' stats are the most balanced. The other middleweights make the difference on other criteria: Luigi is balanced at a more advanced level, his strong areas being top speed, handling and acceleration, while its weak stats are weight and drift, which are nearly useless when you want to cross offroad and spam drifts on straight lines.

** Due to the miniturbo duration depending on acceleration and off-road speed depending on how light the kart is and its acceleration, karts with good acceleration are low weight will have longer miniturbos and better off-road. Luigi, for example, has a solid acceleration for his karts, on par with Mario and Peach, but they also have high top speed and handling, especially the Poltergust 4000, and their drift is only slightly higher than ROB's karts. This combination gives Luigi some of the best movement in the game, and its off-road movement is solid compared to other karts.
** Yoshi's karts have about average speed, but his acceleration and handling are only second to Dry Bones and they both have mediocre drift. Yoshi's Egg 1 has okay speed and its miniturbos are excellent, and while Dry Bones's karts have the lowest top speed in the game, the Dry Bomber's miniturbo is so strong that it has the power of a Mushroom or a Super miniturbo from the later games while also losing very little speed off-road.

** For the Mario Kart definition, Bowser's vehicles are the heaviest, have the best top speed and good drift stats, but are also the hardest to control otherwise and endure the worst acceleration.

* AthleticArenaLevel: This became the first game in the series to feature a traditional racetrack that isn't named after Mario or any other character, the Figure 8 Circuit (which, as the name suggests, is an 8-shaped racetrack). There ''is'' a circuit hosted by Mario, but it's noticeably more challenging layout-wise and has special features like Piranha Plants that shoot fireballs and paths that go through grassy hills, thus making the track veer closer to GreenHillZone than this setting (it's the reason why the track is part of Star Cup instead of Mushroom). The game also brings back Mario Circuit 1 (''Super''), the Luigi and Peach Circuits (''Super Circuit''), and the Luigi and Yoshi Circuits (''Double Dash!!'') as retro tracks.
