![]() VS allows players to quickly race a track or two against the computer, which, surprisingly, was a new feature at the time of MK:DS's release, and one that lends itself to a handheld game due to its pick-up-and-play nature. ![]() Time trial needs no explanation: just race alone for the best time on any track, and your best times can be shared between friends for those seeking a little competition. If the player gets Gold in these events, he or she will unlock various karts and characters for their efforts. While the AI can get a bit unfair on the hardest difficulty, it rarely matters because the racers farthest back get the best items. Players can draft, drift, boost, and throw items in an attempt to be number one, and the racing is as fun as it ever was (in spite of/thanks to absent touch controls). When the race begins, players fire up their engines and go. The Grand Prix mode offers eight total cups (four of which borrow tracks from the previous games) with three difficulty levels. For new players, this is not as interesting a feature, but all should agree that the old tracks work quite well even with new abilities and items. ![]() But no Nintendo game would be complete without nostalgia, so Nintendo kindly updated a select 16 classic tracks from every previous game so that you might relive your glory days on the SNES Mario Circuit 1 and the GameCube's hectic Mushroom Bridge. Rubber is burnt in every imaginable locale as well: the crew will race along standard tracks, curvy mountain roads, Isle Delfino, a pinball machine, Luigi's Mansion, Bowser's Lair, and of course, the classic Rainbow Road. Everyone's welcome as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Donkey Kong inexplicably call for an armistice with Bowser, Wario, and the Koopa Troop for a relaxed go-kart tournament. In Mario Kart, Mario and company race around in character-themed courses while throwing Koopa shells, bananas, Bob-ombs, and other hazardous items at each other in a brutal attempt to win. Before we delve into the modes, it would be best to give a brief overview of Karting for the benefit of those who haven't picked up a pad since 1989.
