After finishing Mario Kart Double dash, I decided to try Mario Kart DS as I never played that one.
I’m guessing that it had to do with the hardware, but the karts felt slow, so I moved on to Mario Kart 8.
I have to admit that this version of the game looks the best and the kart movement feels the best.
It’s such an improvement over Double Dash that I think I do in fact like it better. Especially at 200cc.
I like DS for what it is: the first fully 3D Mario Kart on a handheld console. Played quite a lot of it back in the days. It was also the first one with online play.
I think the missions was a fun addition as well. It’s the only Mario Kart game that features boss battles (to my knowledge).
