About Mario Kart DS

This is Mario Kart DS, one of the many Mario titles and community hacks you can play here without any downloads. If you know Mario, your muscle memory works; if you don't, the first Goomba will teach you everything.

The whole thing is controlled with keyboard and mouse, and the basics click within a minute. It's just as playable on a tablet on the sofa as on a desktop at a desk. Fullscreen mode is there when a browser tab starts feeling too small for the occasion. If it grabs you, the related games below run in the same vein.

How to Play Mario Kart DS

Controls are keyboard and mouse — start with the obvious inputs and the game will teach the rest.
Improve run by run; the first tries are for learning the rules.

Controls: Keyboard / Mouse

Tips for Mario Kart DS

In hacks, expect the difficulty to spike sooner than official games — bank extra lives early.
Suspicious ceilings and pipe tops usually hide something — jump into them.
Hold the run button by default; half of Mario's jumps assume full momentum.
