I don't remember playing this one much as a kid, but when it came out on the e-shop I got it and completed it. As a Mario Kart game, it's kind of clunky, but the rigid, early DS graphics have some charm. Some of my favorite tracks are in this one, Airship Fortress, Wario Stadium, and Delfino Square, to name a few. The mission mode is something I wish they would bring back, even if it is just reused assets from Super Mario 64 DS, a lot of Mario DS games did that, so I won't hold that against it. Plus, they did something creative with it, so creative, in fact, they apparently can't do it a second time.
