Would like to pop in and say that this post on gamefaq with the user "KirbyManiac" (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/920788-mario-kart-ds/41022384) gives a very detailed list on what adds and subtracts from getting 3 stars. Side-note: a little bit lower after his post its cleared up that yes you can touch other karts
Flam 20 Sep 2022 04:09
Heads up if you're new to this game, not all karts are equal. Yoshi's "Egg1" and Dry Bones' "Dry Bomber" are two of the best all-purpose karts. Highly recommend picking the one you like out of the two. Egg1 is technically better due to higher top speed, but Dry Bomber is more forgiving so better for newer players.
AdeptTempest 21 Nov 2022 06:11
Mastered! What a wonderful set and game overall. As long as you play decent and not fall off, as long as you keep hitting the cpus with items you wont fall under 3 stars. The character kart combos were pretty wacky but the Waluigi one just felt awful to play. Overall great game!
RoboMech 21 Dec 2022 10:43
Why there are no time trial cheevos?
MGNS8M 24 Dec 2022 16:55
First and foremost, because back then I didn't have enough experience with Pointers to deal with the way MKDS handles its times. To a point, I can do that now(although their format still presents a bit of difficulty).

I AM revisioning the set to include them soon, but they will be for ghost-unlock times, not the staff-ghosts themselves, as those will be prepped for a different subset eventually. But these unlock-times will also be augmented with specific character/kart combinations to avoid Egg1/Dry-Bomber always being used, so that they will be at least a little more challenging on their own. Whether the staff-ghost is unlocked or not will not matter, just getting the official times for unlocking them will.

Mastered Mario Kart DS! Only 13,5h because I didn't practice it 10 years. Played for first time since 2005 and last played since 2012 (7 years experience)
BananaBaller 7 Jan 2023 22:04
Mastered! Very fun and nostalgic game from my childhood. Really loved revisiting this gem!
MGNS8M 12 Jan 2023 17:44
Just keep in mind there will be a small revision soon for Time Trials and both Battle Modes.
Rileyyy 14 Jan 2023 07:38
This was the first video game i ever played! I was 3! in my earliest gaming memory i was wario on the GBA bowsers castle stage trying to drive into the lava but just hitting walls.
MGNS8M 16 Jan 2023 02:49
RP Code for Levels was missing 0x17, which is also Banshee Boardwalk, had to add it in..
DuckswanTheAlbatross 16 Jan 2023 08:52
I was really caught off guard when I saw that there were 40 new achievements! I just spent the whole evening knocking out time trials, and it was very fun. The one for Choco Island 2 gave me a lot of trouble, but it was otherwise smooth sailing. The only achievement I didn’t finish was the Balloon Battle one; I really struggle to win that mode consistently and those matches can take a VERY long time. I’ll come back to it at a later date.
EliasPapp 17 Jan 2023 01:30
Re-platinado. Thanks for the addition of the time trial and battle mode cheevos, I missed them in my first playthrough :)
I'll leave some suggestions in the forum topic.
AdeptTempest 17 Jan 2023 04:46
Re-mastered. I enjoyed the new cheevos. It really rounds out this game as a whole. The only things left that could possible be added at this point would be expert staff ghosts. Otherwise there is not much content left to make achievements for. Overall good revision! I'll be leaving some suggestions as well in the forum topic as well.
jarccc 17 Jan 2023 11:20
Muchas gracias x poner más cheevos... Seguiremos disfrutando al máximo
Luissi 17 Jan 2023 19:42
Mastered! Thanks for the great revision. I had never played the balloon battle mode before. I was struggling to win because I was playing with only one balloon. The mic function was not working, so I thought the hard mode worked this way. Only later I discovered you can hold the 'select' button to inflate the balloons. Another tip for newcomers: you can steal the balloons from the other players by dashing into them with a mushroom. My tactic was having only 2 ballons inflated at a time, to protect from 1-hit kill, and playing until I find a mushroom to steal someone else ballons. It won't work if you already have 3 ballons inflated.
Nivek0402 22 Jan 2023 21:09
Remastered! :D That was a great revision, now the set feels complete.
mad0gre 24 Jan 2023 16:59
Mastered. I loved the new achievements by the way, forced me to play battle mode and I ended up enjoying it.
