This game and Mario Kart DS are so nostalgic for me. I wish I could find my old 2DS and boot this gem up again.

Oh hey ik you from discord

You should do that

Might upload the rest of the tracks sometime soon they're stupid easy to rip dunno why the rest aren't here

Somebody give this man an award! I couldn't have said it any better myself. This game is absolutely amazing and deserves to be remembered as a major Mario Kart entry. You sir, just earned my respect as a contributor to this very website. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! God bless!

This game's models are really good. Sure, they may be low-poly and in a fixed sitting position, but the 3DS's hardware isn't too powerful, so it was a necessary sacrifice. The models have really colorful textures, specular maps to go with those textures, and even vertex colors that make the model that much more vibrant.

And this game in general, man. It is one of the most slept-on entries in the series, and an absolute banger. The gameplay is honestly much cleaner than it was in Wii; there, the controls felt clunky at times, and it felt like physics were a suggestion. In this game, physics are consistent, as they should be. Although bikes are gone, it's for the better, given how they were just blatantly better than karts in Wii. Now, you can customize the parts of your vehicle; choose between a body, tires, and a glider. It allows for some wack combinations, and the balancing is quite well-done and allows practically any combo to stay in competition. Also, gliders; this was the Mario Kart to introduce them, and they are WAY better than they are in 8 and World, since the glider controls are far more flexible. It also has some well-renowned nitro tracks, such as Music Park, Rainbow Road, and Wario Shipyard my GOAT, and also has an incredible selection of retros, such as Wii Coconut Mall, DS Airship Fortress, and one I'll mention in a sec.

The main criticism of this game is the roster; there's positives such as Shy Guy coming free from his Download Play shackles as well as Metal Mario, the only good clone character since he's just the cooler Mario. On the other hand, there are the oddballs; A Lakitu, not to be confused with the referee of the races, as well as Honey Queen from Super Mario Galaxy, and Wiggler with hands like in Mario Super Sluggers. These are interesting additions that I personally appreciate for the ambition, but at the same time, it gets rid of some mainstays that just don't feel right to be without, like Birdo, Bowser Jr. and ESPECIALLY Waluigi; the latter is even weirder to exclude considering the fact that DS Waluigi Pinball appears, but not the man himself. (Future Dendrite here; I COMPLETELY forgot the fact that VS mode is completely inaccessible in single-player. Yeah, that is honestly a pretty bad flaw since you can't quickly fire up random races whenever you're bored. Reason I forgot is because I play CTGP-7, which re-added single-player VS.)

Overall, this is a great entry in the Mario Kart series that paved the way for modern Mario Kart as we know it and absolutely should NOT be forgotten.

I got my first modded 3DS a few days ago, also no, the modded 3DS is my first one, not a second.
I tried this game for the first time and damn, this is a pretty good game!

I went here to look for waluigi and remembered oh yeah he was cut out of the game for honeyqueen.

I can't believe they used mushrooms for tires. They have feelings! Aww...

Turns out Switch Toolbox hates the BCMDL format.

These maps appear with many pieces missing! Shoot me in the face!

Will submit earth soon

Just one pending egg

added daisy cruiser,maka wuhu and rock rock mountain, just waiting for approval

Are Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu considered separate tracks?

Rainbow Road is coming back!

this is probably the first mario game i have ever played

@lelanbkeeton: They're still there, they've just been grouped with their original models (look for the "_lod" folders).

what happened to the low-poly player models?

i love this game, i hope someone rips Rosalina's Ice Wolrd or Wario Shipyard
