"It's just a shame Nintendo's charging 30 bob for the dongle."

I don't think £1.50 is a lot to pay for a wireless dongle... ;)

Yes, finally a review. Although I think this deserves a 10, especially as the most of the people who have bought this won't of ever played Super Mario Kart or Mario Kart 64 (so stop comparing) But come 25th Kirby, Sonic Rush and this'll be out, and I really want Battles of Prince of Persia on the 2nd. So much choice!

@RoyalFool, you should get Sonic Rush. IGN gave it 9.0 Great, in comparison they gave this 9.5 Incredible.

I'm having so much trouble trying to get this game online - I guess I'll wait to get the adapter on Friday. Based on my 30+ hour experience, this is a sure 9+/10.

Yes, 30+ hours. Oh, and I haven't played multiplayer yet.

i am sincerely gobsmacked that someone (anyone) in Nintendo hasn't got the balls to just damn well recreate the SNES Mario Kart Battle mode maps. Perfection dammit.

I'll still buy this. I'll just weep bitter tears for the memory of that icy circuit.

"an elastic adversary's last-minute success still makes me want to rip the cartridge in half and snarl at its innards."

I'd give Tom a big kiss for that line ... then feel awkward for having kissed another man. I too, have mentally snarled at the innards of many a cartridge (and some tapes too).

Don't bother yourself with them they're bloody awful to buy from.
I bought some anime DVD's from them and they take weeks to get here.

So how many battle maps are there in this, then?

Surely the next step for Mario Kart is to include a battle map level editor. Then, no-one would complain about the quality of the default maps in the game, and you recreate the classic maps from the SNES version.

6 battle maps included. Bit of a mix in terms of quality but I totally agree with your level editor idea. Although I can see it working best for tracks rather than battle maps. Can just imagine a "Revolution" version of MK allowing you to design the roll of the landscape etc. with the freestyle controller. "Carve it out then burn it up!"

Btw, anyone got the UK version early? Just wondered if there's any update on the whole US vs Europe compatibility with Wifi Connection and/or multicart Wifi... *hangs onto US copy with pleading hands...* :oS

Good news, bad news. The good news is I ordered from Gameplay just before 12 yesterday and it was with me this morning! d:-)

The bad news is I can't get it to find my wireless router. I have a DLink DSL-G604T. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can anyone help? I've tried manually configuring the connection as well as auto detect but I'm not getting any joy either way.

As for the game, I really like it. It's a shame I can't go and embarass myself on the interweb against the pros!

Got my copy of mariokart ds, has any shop apart from online ones got the usb wifi dongle 4 sale?

went into (big high street chain of computer GAME shops), after 10 minutes of tooing and frowing, i get told we haven't got any, i still think the lad serving me did not have a clue what i was on about.

then i went in another shop. asked about wifi dongle, gets told ds is already wifi enabled, i had to point out it was if i had a wireless router, but seeing as i haven't, then i get told by staff that they know nothing about it.


is this the service we have to put up with? jeez i'm 35 and more enthusiastic about games than any of the staff i see in the shops.

anyway i ordered it from play.

Got it in the post this morning. Played through the whole 50cc class so far.

IMO, it far, far outclasses Double Dash.

Got the DS MK Pak tonight and I'm loving it! Getting online was almost stupidly easy and there was no lag! Finding three other people to play against took about ten to fifteen secs and I kicked ass beating all opponents! I can't wait for more wifi online games for the DS (here's hoping for Phantasy Star Online!) and look forward to Animal Crossing: Wild World.:)

RE: Wireless router problems.

Mine couldn't be found until I'd installed all the upgrades for it (I have a netgear thingy) Try that!

What a superb game this is, if you can get online..

ANYONE with a NETGEAR router I'd STRONGLY advise to set the speed/range to 108Mb, instead of "b and g". This cured my constant login problems and I'm now enjoying superb, fluid online play. Hope this helps the NETGEAR fellows :)
