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!
|
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.
|
Count me in, I've always liked the game and still are playing it ^^
|
Aight. Thanks MUSION. And you too Hayate. Which one of you two would like to be the Assistant Manager thingymablobber?
|
Can I join? I have the game and love it, and play it on Wi-fi and beat everyone! ^_^
|
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. |
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..

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. |
Try Bowser + ROB-BLS and you'll see what I mean ;)
|
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.
|
K. I'll try that Hayate.
Its a fun game MUSION. Hope you get it. And Wi-Fi rules. |
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.
|
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.
|
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
|
Thats right. If you dont have the game, you can only be shy guy.

Gonna try and get it again this weekend. |
*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 ^^ |
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.
|
Wow, we're actually gonna need a memberlist here xD
And welcome here !!**Alex**!!, hope ya enjoy it here ^^ |
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! |
I've bought MK now. I spend a lot of my time on 'Time Trial'.
|
Hehe, yeah they're fun to do. At least the AI can act a bit more difficult there xD
|
Yeah, I've beat some of the staff ghosts. Only a few though.
|
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. |
Those emblems are really good. It's cool how you can make your own emblem. Especially with the touch screen too.
|
0_0 that guy should stop with MKDS and become a painter or something xD
Thanks for the link Croco ;) |
No prob. So which one are you using?
|
Quote:
|
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.
|
@Croco: I think I'm going to the Zelda one..if I can ever copy it properly into MKDS, that is xD
|
This is my current emblem. Glitch, from the game 'Metal Arms: Glitch in the System'.

may I be a member I have the game
:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~ |
Quote:
|
Yeah emblems rule. I like the Zelda ones too, but i prefer the AC/DC one.
|
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 ^^ |
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. |
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?
|
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? |
2 so i can steal one. Because if you get hit with one, your screwed.
|
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.
|
Thats happened to me too.
|
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.
|
Yeah i know.
So whats up? Im failing math with flying colors. Go 68%!!! |
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 ^^" |
Thats a long post. Maybe that'll make history! LOL Thanks Hayate. I'll try that.
|
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 ^^ |
I havent had enough time lately. I'll try it out tonight.
|
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? |

|
Yeah, i've raced some people with stars. Dont mean nothin really.
|
True, I have a 2 star name but still plenty of people can own me I bet :P
|
About the stars, this is what IGN says:
Quote:
|
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?
|
Nah, i dont. Google it up i guess.
|
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 ;) |
Yeah I've beat quite a few of them. Once I got hit by a chomp and still beat the staff ghost.
|
Stupid chomps. I hate those things.
Whats yalls favorite course? I like Choco Moutain. |
Hard choice... I can't choose a favourite, but two likely candidates are:
Tick-Tock Clock Airship Fortress |
I hae several favorite courses, but the 'bests' for me would be Bowser Castle 2, Wario Stadium, Peach Garden and Airship fortress
|
Yeah i forgot about Tick Tock Clock. Airship Fortress is great.
So whats yalls favorite racer and car? I like Luigi, and....Egg 1. |
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.
|
Bowser + ROB-BLS and Dry Bones with his 3rd car own everything in the game ;)
|
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:
|
Well I've never played Wi-Fi, but my other records are:
VS: 219 Wins , 33 Losses BATTLE: 31 Wins , 5 Losses |
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? |
Yeah, ok. I'll send it to you too MUSION.
|
Yeah got it, thanks. I'll send you guys mine when I get one.
|
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 |
I tried already, it says I'll get a friend code when I connect to Wi-Fi.
|
My Lite is dead, i gots to charge it.
|
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 ;_;
|
O my damn. =[ That sucks...well can you get another one??
|
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. |
Yeah, there easy? How many brothers you got?!
|
Two. One of them is 11 (nearly 12) and the other is 3. No sisters.
|
I have two sisters. One is 10 almost 11. And the other is in her 20's. No brothers.
|
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? |

Balloon Battle on Hard difficulty is tough, I've been playing it a little lately aswell to find effective ways to play. |
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 ;) |
I like Pipe Plaza and the DS one. I dont do balloon battles much, i just like to race on Wi-Fi.
|
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.
|
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
|
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?
|
The one with the boosts on it? It just constantly moves up and down slowly.
|
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? |
Yep, i know ALMOST every short cut. What do you mean by tags?
|
The Bowser Castle shortcut is great, the one Hayate mentioned.
Quote:
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. |
Meh maybe something more orignal :P But the example is good ^^
<-=MKPU=-> Mario-kart Players United...xD |
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?
|
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.
|
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.
|
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? |
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 ;) |
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.
|
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.
|
So whats up my fellow MKDS peeps?
|
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.
|
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. |
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.
