Mario Kart DS Fanclub.
 
This is the Mario Kart Ds Fanclub. The othe one hasen't been touched since last year, so I figured i would create a new one. So ONE spot are open for Assistant Manager thingymablobber. You can join the club if you have the game, getting the game, or have played the game at least once. So come on!

MUSION January 23rd, 2007 7:18 AM

I'll join, I don't actually have the game, but my brother does so I play on his. I am planning on getting it for myself.

Hayate January 23rd, 2007 7:25 AM

Count me in, I've always liked the game and still are playing it ^^

Croconaw January 27th, 2007 1:34 PM

Aight. Thanks MUSION. And you too Hayate. Which one of you two would like to be the Assistant Manager thingymablobber?

top8inU.S.A. January 27th, 2007 1:35 PM

Can I join? I have the game and love it, and play it on Wi-fi and beat everyone! ^_^

MUSION January 28th, 2007 12:13 AM

I will I guess. Dunno if Hayate comes on everyday or not, but I know I do.

I might be getting Mario Kart DS today. Not sure though.

Hayate January 28th, 2007 3:04 AM

I aren't much on Wi-Fi anymore, lost my connector but when I played Wi-Fi back then I pretty kicked some ass. As for the assistant thingy, depends on what is required to become one..

Yeah you can join. As long as your active.

Musion your the Assistant Manager thingy. (hey thats 2 for you now!)

Im pretty good on Wi-Fi. I usally play as Yoshi or the Robot. And i mostly use Egg 1 as my car, but i do use the Robot Standard. Its a pretty nice kart.

Hayate January 28th, 2007 11:08 AM

Try Bowser + ROB-BLS and you'll see what I mean ;)

MUSION January 29th, 2007 10:47 AM

I didn't get it, out of stock. I'll try again this week sometime. I haven't played on Wi-Fi before, but some of my friends have it so I can play them. We often play in school.

Croconaw January 30th, 2007 5:02 PM

K. I'll try that Hayate.

Its a fun game MUSION. Hope you get it. And Wi-Fi rules.

MUSION January 31st, 2007 1:38 PM

Today ruled. 6 of us played Mario Kart DS (download play) in the cafeteria at lunch. Somehow we managed to filp a table over whilst playing. We got outta there before someone moaned at us. I was the best at first but when my friend (the one that actually owned it) took over for someone else it got harder. Seemed funny how there was Bowser and then 5 shy-guys in the race.

Croconaw January 31st, 2007 2:18 PM

Yeah, you can race only as Shy-Guy if you dont own the game. Does your friend have all the karts unlocked and all the players too? I do. I can race in any kart and as any player.

Hayate January 31st, 2007 11:42 PM

I always thought that with download play only the one who is hosting the game can choose carts, and the others are shy ones? 0_o

Croconaw February 1st, 2007 9:13 AM

Thats right. If you dont have the game, you can only be shy guy.

MUSION February 1st, 2007 12:41 PM

Yeah, I think he has everything.

Gonna try and get it again this weekend.

Hayate February 1st, 2007 11:47 PM

*Yawn* good mornin' all

I was bored last night and checked out my current starts at MK...seems there are still very few laps which need to be completed at 3-star ranks but that's all. I've got 3 starts on most laps by using Bowser + ROB-BLS, it's kinda easy that way ^^

Reminds me I have something to show you guys, one of the best MK players in the world

More at his profile ^^

Ayano Katagiri February 2nd, 2007 12:15 AM

Can I join?? I dont have the game but I'm thinking of getting it. I've played it a couple of times. I've finished the GBA version of it.

Hayate February 2nd, 2007 8:37 AM

Wow, we're actually gonna need a memberlist here xD

And welcome here !!**Alex**!!, hope ya enjoy it here ^^

Croconaw February 4th, 2007 11:56 AM

Aight i'll make one.
Members
1-Hayate
2-Musion( Assistant manager thingy)
3-!!**Alex**!!
4-Me (duh)

Still need more to be a successful thread!

MUSION February 5th, 2007 1:30 AM

I've bought MK now. I spend a lot of my time on 'Time Trial'.

Hayate February 5th, 2007 1:50 AM

Hehe, yeah they're fun to do. At least the AI can act a bit more difficult there xD

MUSION February 5th, 2007 1:06 PM

Yeah, I've beat some of the staff ghosts. Only a few though.

Croconaw February 5th, 2007 5:33 PM

You know you can go online and lookup some badass emblems. Mine is
AC/DC. http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=23977169 Here you go.

MUSION February 5th, 2007 11:29 PM

Those emblems are really good. It's cool how you can make your own emblem. Especially with the touch screen too.

Hayate February 6th, 2007 3:42 AM

0_0 that guy should stop with MKDS and become a painter or something xD

Thanks for the link Croco ;)

Croconaw February 6th, 2007 5:37 PM

No prob. So which one are you using?

Ayano Katagiri February 6th, 2007 9:07 PM

Those emblems are cool~ What do you do with them on the game??

MUSION February 7th, 2007 8:33 AM

They go on the front (or in somecases, sides) of your kart. They also show up next to your name in races (not on the bottom screen, but above your player, only other people can see it in-game). If you have a person saved in your 'friends' section, their emblem will be shown there too.

Hayate February 7th, 2007 9:03 AM

@Croco: I think I'm going to the Zelda one..if I can ever copy it properly into MKDS, that is xD

MUSION February 7th, 2007 3:37 PM

This is my current emblem. Glitch, from the game 'Metal Arms: Glitch in the System'.

Oh I see~ that's awesome.

Croconaw February 8th, 2007 5:35 PM

Yeah emblems rule. I like the Zelda ones too, but i prefer the AC/DC one.

Hayate February 9th, 2007 1:36 AM

I'm fine with it if you become a member here ~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~ ^^ Just depends on Croco to accept you.

Haven't played MKDS last days, but yesterday I actually tried to use that emblem I saw..but it ended in a total failure xD I'll try it again later today. Maybe it's time for me to get back into Wi-Fi again ^^

MUSION February 9th, 2007 12:13 PM

We've been playing Mario Kart DS all week at school, during break, lunch and the occasional lesson, and I've won nearly all matches.

My friend Daniel spent all week saying how he'll beat me and that he's best (blah blah, you know the kinda big headed stuff I mean). Today he brought his DS and Mario Kart too. I came 1st in EVERY match, whether race or battle (didn't play shine runners), that we played. He hasn't spoke of Mario Kart since.

Looks good in my records, having all wins against him.

Croconaw February 9th, 2007 5:16 PM

I like balloon battles better than shine runners. MUSION, you do know that in balloon battles, if you have a mushroom and use it and hit a oppenent, you can steal his balloon. Right?

MUSION February 10th, 2007 1:58 AM

Yeah, stealing other's balloons is great. I also prefer Balloon Battle to Shine Runners.

In Balloon Battle, how many balloons do you carry? 1 and try to steal 2, 2 so that you can steal 1, or 3 to be safe?

Croconaw February 10th, 2007 6:17 PM

2 so i can steal one. Because if you get hit with one, your screwed.

MUSION February 11th, 2007 2:31 PM

Sometimes I blow up all three, coz it's happened to me pleanty of times where you have two, get hit once, then get hit again before being able to blow another one up.

Croconaw February 11th, 2007 5:42 PM

Thats happened to me too.

MUSION February 11th, 2007 11:45 PM

Horrible isn't it? Though having 3 is safe, you get the worse weapons, whereas if you have 2 you'll be in a lower position and thus get better items. Having 1 would obviously get the best items, but it isn't worth the risk.

Croconaw February 12th, 2007 4:37 PM

Yeah i know.

So whats up? Im failing math with flying colors. Go 68%!!!

Hayate February 13th, 2007 3:04 AM

Heya all ^^

Balloon battles? They're my favorite part of the game ^^ I will share few strategys and tips to make you master of this part:

Shieldmush

Some strategy I thought of, I tried it 10 times and it works! This strategy involves you get a red/green shield (green only if you can aim well), hang it behind your car, and get single or triple mushroom. Get close to your enemy, then fire the red shield at him to sting him with it. Directly after you fired and hit the enemy with the shield use your mushroom. You'll steal his second (and last balloon) before he can create another one due to the effect of the shield. To make it clear, while red shield "paralyzes" the enemy for 1 second, use your mushroom to steal his last or second balloon in the second. During the moment and after the enemy is hit with your red shield he/she can't move so also can't make another balloon. Works if your enemy has 2 balloons, but with 3 it's also possible. When your enemy has 3 balloons, follow him/her to the edge of a battle map with a bottomless depth besides it (eg top DS map) and fire the shield there, use mushroom after it. If you did good, your enemy will lose 2 balloons AND fall into the depth, taking his/her 3rd and last balloon. Quite cool huh?

Use the area in your advantage!

I can't repeat this enough. Use the area you battle in in your advantage! You're far more vulnerable in an open field map (Pipe Plaza) then in a map with walls and other things to hide behind (Twilight House).

Vulnerable maps:

- Pipe Plaza
- Tart Top
- Palm Shore
- Nintendo DS

Advantagous maps:

- Block Fort
- Twilight House

Twilight House is with no doubt best map to use in your advantage. It has plenty of walls you can drive behind to stop shields, and there are several edges with bottomless depth you can use with ShieldMush. There are lots of things you can do here. You can hind behind walls for shields, drop bananas behind wall corners so they slip and fall into depth, zigzag around to evade stars AND it's the best map to practise with ShieldMush.

Hope you all can use this...maybe I overdid it a bit though ^^"

Croconaw February 13th, 2007 4:16 PM

Thats a long post. Maybe that'll make history! LOL Thanks Hayate. I'll try that.

Hayate February 14th, 2007 6:59 AM

Just a small part of my MKDS bible xD

And please check it out, I want to know if it's useful to you guys or not ^^

Croconaw February 14th, 2007 1:20 PM

I havent had enough time lately. I'll try it out tonight.

Hayate February 16th, 2007 4:04 AM

Why is no-one posting here T_T

Haven't played MKDS in a while though, might try it again soon..some Wi-Fi matches will be fun I think. Btw have you guys seen people with 3 stars behind or in front of their name?

MUSION February 16th, 2007 10:31 AM

No, I haven't. If they're only on Wi-Fi then I'll never have seen one.

Croconaw February 16th, 2007 7:20 PM

Yeah, i've raced some people with stars. Dont mean nothin really.

Hayate February 19th, 2007 8:28 AM

True, I have a 2 star name but still plenty of people can own me I bet :P

MUSION February 19th, 2007 2:09 PM

About the stars, this is what IGN says:
Quote:

Unlock Starry Names
To affix stars to your name in a wi-fi battle, just race all the grand prix races (including mirror tracks) and earn at least one star in the ranking. The number of stars earned during your grand prix career will be reflected in your wi-fi standing.

Hayate February 20th, 2007 6:41 AM

Meh, just complete all kind of races with 2 stars and high chance you'll get it to me :P I tried to install my Wi-Fi connector again but I lost the installation disk...T_T Anyone knows where the installation files for the Wi-Fi connector are on the internet?

Croconaw February 22nd, 2007 2:13 PM

Nah, i dont. Google it up i guess.

Hayate February 23rd, 2007 1:13 AM

This club dying or something 0_o

Anys I did another few time trials yesterday..those 'staff ghosts' are easy to beat if you know how to race at the concerning course I noticed ;)

MUSION February 23rd, 2007 2:40 PM

Yeah I've beat quite a few of them. Once I got hit by a chomp and still beat the staff ghost.

Croconaw February 25th, 2007 10:16 AM

Stupid chomps. I hate those things.

Whats yalls favorite course? I like Choco Moutain.

MUSION February 25th, 2007 11:28 PM

Hard choice... I can't choose a favourite, but two likely candidates are:

Tick-Tock Clock
Airship Fortress

Hayate February 26th, 2007 2:36 AM

I hae several favorite courses, but the 'bests' for me would be Bowser Castle 2, Wario Stadium, Peach Garden and Airship fortress

Croconaw February 26th, 2007 3:11 PM

Yeah i forgot about Tick Tock Clock. Airship Fortress is great.

So whats yalls favorite racer and car? I like Luigi, and....Egg 1.

MUSION February 26th, 2007 3:29 PM

Yoshi and Standard YS is what I use for everything. Sure it's good do use different characters / karts for different stuff, but that pair has become my signature.

Hayate February 27th, 2007 1:16 AM

Bowser + ROB-BLS and Dry Bones with his 3rd car own everything in the game ;)

Croconaw February 28th, 2007 1:53 PM

Whats yalls records on Wi-Fi? Im 43 wins and 50 losses, but some of my losses are because my sis did it a few times.:pirate:

MUSION February 28th, 2007 2:09 PM

Well I've never played Wi-Fi, but my other records are:

VS: 219 Wins , 33 Losses
BATTLE: 31 Wins , 5 Losses

Hayate March 1st, 2007 2:56 AM

Haven't played in a while...here are the results from my n00b period ^^;;

VS: 11 wins, 17 losses (All vs. a expert friend >_>)
Battle: 2 wins, 0 losses
WFC: 14 wins, 6 loses

..Ok that's horrible >_> When I find my installation disk I'll kick some ass again ;)

Btw Croco can u send me yer Friend Code by PM?

Croconaw March 1st, 2007 4:29 PM

Yeah, ok. I'll send it to you too MUSION.

MUSION March 1st, 2007 11:22 PM

Yeah got it, thanks. I'll send you guys mine when I get one.

Hayate March 2nd, 2007 6:37 AM

When you get one? I generated mine, you should do also. You don't even require WFC to do so (I think):

MKDS >> Nintendo WFC >> Friend Code >> Confirm Friend Code

That should be it

MUSION March 3rd, 2007 8:06 AM

I tried already, it says I'll get a friend code when I connect to Wi-Fi.

Croconaw March 5th, 2007 4:01 PM

My Lite is dead, i gots to charge it.

Hayate March 7th, 2007 2:48 AM

T_T I found my connector + install disk but now there is some 52003 error which results I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore ;_;

Croconaw March 7th, 2007 1:36 PM

O my damn. =[ That sucks...well can you get another one??

MUSION March 13th, 2007 8:45 AM

I was expecting Hayate to post but I guess I will.

It's funny how easy 50cc races are, my 3 year old brother can win them.

Croconaw March 13th, 2007 4:12 PM

Yeah, there easy? How many brothers you got?!

MUSION March 14th, 2007 3:23 PM

Two. One of them is 11 (nearly 12) and the other is 3. No sisters.

Croconaw March 15th, 2007 1:25 PM

I have two sisters. One is 10 almost 11. And the other is in her 20's. No brothers.

Hayate March 19th, 2007 6:28 AM

Haven't been here in a while..T_T..soz

Well I haven't played MKDS much since I posted here. Just played some balloon battles vs. cpu on hard mode and no teaming (see how they pick on you). One time I got like 7 cpu players chasing me after I hit them, coincidence? xD Also, here is some more advice to become a master at balloon battles:

- Block Fort: The name already says it, best way to win here is by building a fort atop somewhere and watch how your enemies hurt themself before you finish them off with a shell/mushroom. What you are gonna do: Start off with a power boost foreward and go left/right at center, depends in what direction you prefer to use sliding (R-button). Drive as fast as you can to the end of what way and grab the item box while already starting to slide left. Go up the hill, turn left again, drive forward (across the bridge) --or go up the hill near you-- and go up the hill at the end of it. If you did corrently you're now atop one of the 4 highest points of the map. Grab the item box when it's aviable there and start laying banana/fake box fields at every way the enemies can get near you: those are the 2 bridges and the hill you used to get up there yourself. Once everything is 'mined' get your item box filled with shields or mushrooms (work good here) so you can strike someone after the hit a banana/fake box and take care of the enemy before they start firing stuff at you. Oh and, you can use a bomb also to attack them long-range and make them lose their shield before they get in your banana/fake box field. If you don't, they'll use a shield to open a gap and activate their red shield to track you and smack you off the pilar (smart players). If your enemies don't have patience they will come for you anyway so this'll work. Either take them on long-range (bomb) or go in ambush mode and attack with shield after they drive in. If they got too near you immediatly jump to bottom ground, armor yourself and get back to your position.

Maybe I should write a FAQ for this...what you guys think?

MUSION March 19th, 2007 11:28 PM

You could do yeah, you clearly know what your talking about.

Balloon Battle on Hard difficulty is tough, I've been playing it a little lately aswell to find effective ways to play.

Hayate March 20th, 2007 12:57 AM

Balloon battle is hard maybe, but after you found the right tactics and use them on the right maps you'll see it isn't that difficult ;) Brute force won't help you at any map, that's clearly.

What maps do you guys dislike on the balloon battles? I don't like Palm Shore and Tart Top at all, they're kinda crappy maps to me :X

Also MUSION I added you at MSN yesterday (the msn in yer profile) so if you see some "captaineirikr added you" it's me ;)

Croconaw March 20th, 2007 12:35 PM

I like Pipe Plaza and the DS one. I dont do balloon battles much, i just like to race on Wi-Fi.

MUSION March 21st, 2007 11:55 AM

I like Pipe Plaza and Block Fort. Twilight House is alright but I'd like it more if some of the rooms weren't empty.

Hayate March 21st, 2007 12:15 PM

My favorites are Pipe Plaza, Twilight House, Block Fort and DS..but I think my all-time favortite is Twilight House, just 'cuz I played soooo much on it xP

Croconaw March 21st, 2007 4:42 PM

I was owning them other racers yesterday. I think we did about ten races, because my last racer dropped out because i was beating him. Badly. And i think i lost ONCE. Im really good at Cheep Cheep Beach, and Desert Hills. But Delfino Square is really neat. I like that short cut. And have you guys noticed that sometimes the bridge moves? I dont know how to activate it. Do you guys know how?

MUSION March 21st, 2007 11:43 PM

The one with the boosts on it? It just constantly moves up and down slowly.

Hayate March 22nd, 2007 12:42 AM

Nice work Croco ;) Maybe we should start a MKDS clan or something and put some tags at our name at Wi-fi to indicate we're in it...what you guys think ^^

Every course has shortcuts. The one at Delfino Square before you arrive at the bridge--best is to have a mushroom or 2 to boost you through the mud. In Bowser Castle is also a shortcut at the part with the rotating floor and the whomps, any of you found it yet?

Croconaw March 22nd, 2007 11:47 AM

Yep, i know ALMOST every short cut. What do you mean by tags?

MUSION March 22nd, 2007 2:58 PM

The Bowser Castle shortcut is great, the one Hayate mentioned.

Quote:

What do you mean by tags?
Just simply putting some initials or something infront of your name so that people can recognise the clan.

For example, if the clan was PokeCommunity (example only) the tag could be (PC) and the names would be like this:

(PC)Hayate
(PC)Croconaw
(PC)MUSION

or whatever name you use. Space is quite limited too.

Hayate March 23rd, 2007 1:54 AM

Meh maybe something more orignal :P But the example is good ^^

<-=MKPU=-> Mario-kart Players United...xD

Yoshistar64 March 25th, 2007 7:40 AM

Cna I join? I happen to be a Mario Kart pro. In Battles, I would recommend using Bowser because he can knock people out of his way. The classic "Fake Item by Actual Item" is a classic and I use it all the time. I think I know all the shortcuts in the game, and I can snake really well. Does anyone here know how to dodge a Spiny Shell?

Lunux March 25th, 2007 8:02 AM

you mean a blue shell? well you have to hit something like a shell right before you get hit and when you're in stun time the explosion won't hit. i happen to be pro at MKDS. i can lap 150cc coms on certain courses.

Yoshistar64 March 25th, 2007 8:09 AM

Sorry I asked. That method that Lunux said happens to me a lot, but after playing a quick game, I realized myself that power sliding left and right really quickly will keep you safe from a Blue Shell. I think its called snaking. Only do this if you feel comfortable and you mastered power-slides.

Lunux March 25th, 2007 8:34 AM

Mastery of power slides is my middle name. i can power slide anywhere, anytime. but i've never had that happen to me before, i'll investigate further on the method. thnx.

did you know that different karts have different powerslide boost lengths?

Hayate March 25th, 2007 9:00 AM

Wow I'm 1 hour gone and 2 new members already ^^;; Well welcome here Lunux and Yoshistar ^^

And for the good record, I think all of us are 'pro's' at MKDS, it really isn't THAT difficult ;)

Croconaw March 25th, 2007 1:48 PM

Wow. 2 more members. Are you guys gonna stay here, or jus fade away after a few days? I despise people who do that. But if your here to stay, welcome.

Lunux March 25th, 2007 3:54 PM

I'ma here to stay man. MKDS is the best MK besides 64 in my opinion. but ds is really great nonetheless. Thank you for the welcome.

Croconaw March 26th, 2007 1:52 PM

So whats up my fellow MKDS peeps?

Lunux March 26th, 2007 1:57 PM

Nothing much since last time. i just want to know something, does speed really matter in MKDS or as a matter of fact for all the MKs? my guess would be no, but i could be wrong.

Croconaw March 26th, 2007 4:42 PM

Well, i guess at certain courses yeah. And against other people yeah. But thats my opinion.

EDIT: hey hayate, musion, you know how we were talkin about some way of recognizing ourselves as some MK clan? Well, all i did was put MKDS Clan for my little user title thingy under my name, you think that would work? And if you have some better ideas jus tell me.

Lunux March 26th, 2007 5:10 PM

Maybe change our emblems slightly to show we're part of the Clan? like put a mark in the corner or something. i'm not really sure how the WiFi works since i've never done it before.
