Hey Troy, I love your videos! You have taught me so much about Mario Kart! I would love to play you, but I can't get online where I live.😓 Please keep on posting content and staying cool!
I have many memories of mkds with friends, but my favorite thing was when I got the game on an r4 cartridge. It had a 300cc mode and it allowed some crazy things.
oh ma, thanks for this huge nostalgia bomb, i havent played in so long i forgot like all the tracks except those which got remade, and i forgot how much i loved them. one of my best memories is when me and my friends finally managed to get a complete Lan-room of 8 players and we all picked yoshi. also cloud garden was my arch nemesis on both ds and super circuit
also was it ds where i think luigi circuit that was a figure 8 but the middle part was merged? ds really doesnt get enough appreciation imo, so many unique and cool tracks
oh my god, I havent seen the original title screen in YEARS. I unlocked every character, and got the second title screen a few years after I got the game, so I have been really used to the second one, and seeing the first title screen slapped me in the face with nostalgia. I'm so glad I still kept my card from when I was younger, as this really is an amazing game, that doesn't seem to be as popular as it used to be, which really is a shame :(
Wow! This game was my favorite one back in the day, and even though I kinda mastered the sneaking technique I didn't get to know a lot of the cool shortcuts you have shown! Great video!
Oh hey Troy, great video. Do you happen to remember me, way back in like 2010 we discussed MKDS time trials on GameFAQs? You're actually the guy who got me into this game because you were posting strong times there, and now I'm ranked 46. Good times.
Holy shit Troy... I've played Mario Kart DS for like 7 years on my DS and I thought I was a god. Ive never seen the mud cut nor the port cut before. Holy shit. I'm shocked
Definitely one of the most underrated Mario Kart games imo. I love how if you have enough skill you can take shortcuts shroomless, which I think should be like that in every Mario Kart game. I also like how light weights are top-tier, mainly because I've always just preferred how light-weights control. Plus it also has Dry Bones which makes it an instant 10/10. The only things I don't really care about, are the lack of a blue mini-turbo, and the item stat.
NIMPAK1 underrated UNDERRATED do you know how many list call it the best mario kart watchmojo did to and the worst thing about is this game does deserve it it awful a bland boring game that lack the mario kart charm and maybe it has oline but dimond and pearl was the first pokemon game to have oline but do you se it be showered with love because it can play oline and it the first to also when you start the game you can only change the 2 car per character what moren would do that also most of the items are dinky and suck and they bucthed a lot of track for old mario kart like dd like look what they did to yoshi's ciruct or baby park i hate this game but the missons are cool
I was debating Daisy Crusier VS Mushroom Bridge. The reason i picked Mushroom Bridge was because it was the course me and mates did most of our drinking challenges on, back when we where like 18-19 years old. the rules. one player races to the top of one of the arches and its their job to stay there and defend their postion. for every minute that the person manages to stay on top the other races must drink. if the player falls of the bridge, they must take a drink or shot. the one who stayed up there the longest after about 10 minutes was declared the winner.
God this have a beautiful, line not even lying if I could pick a Mario kart game to live in, it’s be this one. Idk there’s just something about it, the simple detailing and the colors, plus the rainbow boosts were such a good idea and I’m mad they haven’t been used in recent games.
When other people make top ten videos they're just a viewer bait by the numbers with nothing interesting to say, but you always have heaps of detail about your picks and share interesting information about the game
Haha why didn't you demonstrate the husky rail ride supreme? :P that was the sarcastic name for it... there was a trend of people naming strats and scs after themselves with extreme words lol, so Pulsar jokingly gave it that name. I just called it the rail sc iirc. Great RR coverage and great list! I'm good with no Waluigi Pinball on here. I think my top 10 would be the same tracks except I'd replace Donut Plains with Frappe Snowland. And reorder it with RR #1 :]
Husky217 I TRIED IT AND CAN'T DO IT! I blame the Wii U Game pad... That's awesome how we have similar lists, Frappe snowland is definitely top 15 for me too, I had that hill shortcut down haha
haha fair enough, it's insanely hard. I almost got the RR flap WR with a 3DS lol with the SCs you showed off, but mkdasher beat me to it by 1 day. Yeah, I loved that hill shortcut, plus the loose track for blue shell dodging.
I'm like where are Airship Fortress and Waluigi Pinball? Then I realised they are really beautiful but not the most exciting tracks in the game. Awesome vid as always!
Great video. Mario kart DS is one of the best games of my entire childhood and Delfino square is definitely the best track of Mario Kart DS. I love the layout and the music of that track. Please make more Mario Kart DS video's. It's still entertaining to watch to video's about Mario Kart DS in my opinion.
THIS GAME IS MY CHILDHOOD. ( You are so much better than me at Mario Kart DS) Edit: The graphics look so much worse than what I remember, I remember them looking so good! Edit 2: I completely forgot about sky garden, I loved that map!
Very nice list Troy. Surprised there is no Waluigi Pinball or Airship Fortress, but it's your opinion, so I can't be mad. Do you think you'll do more MK top tens, or is this the last one?
Hi I had a little question and I thought maybe you might be able to help Once in a while when I play Mario Kart DS on the Wii U in 100cc sometimes my car Will just randomly stop do you know how I can fix that
what a cool game this is :p
Hey, i meet you
You make nice MKDS TAS
David it's fun you should try playing it sometime.
Bring Back Bolton
Oh hi.
mkdasher I
WALUIJI PINBALL?!? AIRSHIP FORTRESS?!? TROY!!!
and banshee boardwalk
Agreed, Waluigi Pinball is personally, my favorite Mario Kart track ever made, with Yoshi Valley trailing closely behind.
I agree that those are top 10 material, but this is Troy's personal opinion
Litro that track was shit in mkds
gotta love _waluiji_
Damn... no Waluigi Pinball. That was kind of a shocker ngl, but I agree with the list completely
that guy it's top 15 but not too 10. I know most people love it but i have a different opinion hahw
Sky garden is good
Peach gardens is one of your favorites where is it
So Troy ur saying that Mario circuit 1 is better than waluigi pinball?
@@camoutlaws4423 Yes... Bit odd isn't it lol
Who also always tried to stop in the rainbow loop?

Yes Troy 🤜🤛
Lol
Joe Hawkes it's number 1
Joe Hawkes you edited your comment, such bs
Cody Biancuzzo everyone does that
The crate in Delfino Square that always gave mushrooms
And the item box in DK Pass (one of my own favorites) that always gave mushrooms or stars
Wait really? Which item box?!

Yes! Please do more MKDS videos, I LOVED to watch this, it's so fun!
NO! Don't say spinners! You're bringing back memories of horrible 2017 fads!
Hey Troy, I love your videos! You have taught me so much about Mario Kart! I would love to play you, but I can't get online where I live.😓
Please keep on posting content and staying cool!
Mkds was completely underrated. If only online had 8 players!
i got to play locally 8 players a couple times, total blast
MKDS is life bro, i remember growing up, buying an action replay card and manually typing in 80 lines of code from davidevgen or supastarrio :D
Julian LOL YES
that was my life back in the day. good times lol
I have an Action Replay DS ! >>:-D
I was very surprised that waluigi pinball wasnt in there. That was my favorite track
6:25 Finally! Someone who appreciates this track!
DS was definitely my favourite Mario Kart game, one of the first games I ever got and the first MK i owned
I agree Troy, Waluigi pinball is indeed overrated. However, airship Fortress would’ve had the top spot if I were you.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS! I really love MKDS lol
God damn, this video should be called: Top 10 Best Mario Kart DS Shortcut Tracks.
I have many memories of mkds with friends, but my favorite thing was when I got the game on an r4 cartridge. It had a 300cc mode and it allowed some crazy things.
Mario Kart DS has an EXCELLENT track selection. There was lots of super memorable courses.
Nate Steevo very true!
7:08 Troy did you know that you can stay on the wall and get out of bounds?
Adaly Debest yea it's awesome!!
TWD98 Yeah it would be really cool if you could do some sort of weird shortcut out of it. But it's at least a good exploring glitch
oh ma, thanks for this huge nostalgia bomb, i havent played in so long i forgot like all the tracks except those which got remade, and i forgot how much i loved them. one of my best memories is when me and my friends finally managed to get a complete Lan-room of 8 players and we all picked yoshi.

I want a MKDS CTGP for some reason now...
You didn't mention that this game had 2 Luigi circuits...😢😢😢
Mario Kart Super Circuit...forever relegated to just being a donation bin to snag Circuit and Bowser's Castle tracks from for future games?
@@k-leb4671 atleast the tracks are decent
poor super circuit though
This game reminds me of my childhood just playing it under the covers at night in my DS
Awesome! I had 3 stars at this game
oh my god, I havent seen the original title screen in YEARS.
I unlocked every character, and got the second title screen a few years after I got the game, so I have been really used to the second one, and seeing the first title screen slapped me in the face with nostalgia.

AWESOME TROY!!!! GREAT VIDEO
Wow this brings huge Childhood memories!!
You should make a top ten Double Dash tracks!
I mean I'd like that video too, but there's literally only 16 tracks in double dash.
do a top 5 then. Wario colosseum, Baby Park, DK Mountain, Mushroom Bridge and Rainbow Road would be in my top 5 (in no particular order)
DK Mountain, Wario Colosseum, Rainbow Road, Baby Park, Daisy Cruiser (that order)
I was debating Daisy Crusier VS Mushroom Bridge. The reason i picked Mushroom Bridge was because it was the course me and mates did most of our drinking challenges on, back when we where like 18-19 years old. the rules. one player races to the top of one of the arches and its their job to stay there and defend their postion. for every minute that the person manages to stay on top the other races must drink. if the player falls of the bridge, they must take a drink or shot. the one who stayed up there the longest after about 10 minutes was declared the winner.
Nice to see something other than Waluigi Pinball at number 1 - Delfino Square is brilliant!
Troy left out the exploration glitch at Mario Curcuit, it's the best one in the game!!!
Never played Mario kart DS but I have a sudden urge to now
great analysis of MKDS, make more for sure !
To be honest, Mario Kart DS was the first game that I ever actually played. And, damn, does it still live up to the nostalgia!
Delfino square was giving me a lot of nostalgia
Waluigi Pinball is my favourite track of all time for any Mario Kart game
"Been a couple years, my skills have not improved"
*_(gets new best times on mario circuit 1)_*
God this have a beautiful, line not even lying if I could pick a Mario kart game to live in, it’s be this one. Idk there’s just something about it, the simple detailing and the colors, plus the rainbow boosts were such a good idea and I’m mad they haven’t been used in recent games.
LOVED this game! Probably my favorite Mario Kart!
Ugh this game was my life, I love you Koopa Beach 2 ❤️❤️❤️
Mario Kart ds is the best game imo...
Also shroom ridge is my favorite track, I think its really underrated
Troy mentions he played MKDS as a kid then casually starts PRBing nearly entire laps on a wii u controller
''Nintendo WFC'' jesus now that takes me back

8, 6, and 5 should be higher about 1 place

Brings me back to watching MKDasher videos of him getting records lol
All I'm saying is...
Shroom Ridge music. Oooo. Fire
mkds is my fav game ever! nostalgia!
I'd have to say the Bowsers castle In this one is my favourite bowsers castle, and I also really love choco mountain
Fun Fact, the dirt shortcut in Delfino square is faster even shroomless
Finally, someone who doesnt obsess over waluigi pinball
Very nice list Troy. Surprised there is no Waluigi Pinball or Airship Fortress, but it's your opinion, so I can't be mad. Do you think you'll do more MK top tens, or is this the last one?
It's possible! and yea haha it seems like those are everyone's favorites
I think Waluigi Pinball's music is what makes it so good.
I had no idea about the techniques in this game as a kid, but I literally got my left thumb fucked up by snaking all the time
All the knowledge dropped on my head and now I have a flat face
Shot game... every time he drifts take a shot
I like to keep my liver working, so I'll pass on this.
Hi I had a little question and I thought maybe you might be able to help
Once in a while when I play Mario Kart DS on the Wii U in 100cc sometimes my car Will just randomly stop
do you know how I can fix that
I wonder if that mkds expert shortcuts video from the start of your channel can be revamped and learn more prb stuff
Do a shortcuts video for this game! I never knew about a lot of what you showed in this video!
