 '''''Mario Kart DS''''' is a racing game part of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series for the [[Nintendo DS]], developed and published by [[Nintendo]]. ''Mario Kart DS'' was released first in North America, on November 14, 2005, and is the only mainline ''Mario Kart'' game to be released first in North America. Unlike its predecessor, ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', it retains the traditional single-driver kart racing elements in the ''Mario Kart'' series, where players race against seven competitors in obstacle tracks, using item-based weaponry to gain further advantages over their opponents. It is the first handheld ''Mario Kart'' title to use live-rendered 3D graphics for most of the objects in the game, including characters, vehicles, and racetracks.

 Starting with the following ''Mario Kart'' game, ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', stages originating from ''Mario Kart DS'' were included as retro courses and were represented by the abbreviation "[[Nintendo DS|DS]]".
 ===Grand Prix===
-Grand Prix is a single player-exclusive mode. In it, a player competes in each cup in 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and Mirror 150cc engine classes, with ascending speed and difficulty. The game reuses the point system of ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' by awarding 10/8/6/4/3/2/1/0 points for first to eighth place respectively. A rating of how well a player performed is shown after the trophy presentation, from highest to lowest: ★★★, ★★, ★, A, B, C, D and E. An overall "game ranking" of ★, ★★, or ★★★ is shown in the Records area if the player has earned the designated rating in every cup and class.

 ===Drivers===
 The main game has 12 playable characters, 4 of which are unlockable. The eight starting characters, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Peach]], [[Yoshi]], [[Toad]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Wario]], and [[Bowser]], are the same eight characters available in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. The other four drivers can be unlocked by winning a gold trophy of certain cups in [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Grand Prix]] mode. Two of the unlockable characters, [[Daisy]] and [[Waluigi]], return from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', and the other two, [[Dry Bones]] and [[R.O.B.]], make their first ''Mario Kart'' playable appearances. A 13th racer, [[Shy Guy]], debuts as a playable character, but is only available to players using DS Download Play.

 {{Main|List of Mario Kart DS glitches}}
 ===Choco Mountain boulder glitch===
-In Choco Mountain, if the player goes to the lake and the water splashes before they fall, the boulder should hit them. If done correctly, they should start flying. The screen will then turn black as if they fell into the water. Lakitu will then pick them up. This glitch rarely works after the first time it's performed.

-===Delfino Square boardwalk glitch===
+===Mini-Spin turn item glitch===
-When the player goes up to the boardwalk that has the one item box, they must press {{button|ds|R}} when they are on the wall. If timed correctly, the player can float on the side of the road. This will work in any mode.
+To perform this glitch, the player must drive towards an item box in any mode (battle mode is preferred) and sit themselves right in the center where it appears so that they continuously break it open when it appears again. Then, the player should hold either left or right on {{button|ds|Pad}}. When the item box appears again, it will break as usual, and the player will turn a very small amount in the direction pressed. Given time, so long as the player doesn't move, the player can turn all the way round in the direction pressed.
 ===Pipe Plaza Bob-omb glitch===
-In Pipe Plaza, if the player has a [[Bob-omb]] and drops it near one of the pipe holes, another player or a CPU should hit the Bob-omb. If done correctly, the player should go through the pipe hole and he/she will fall. Lakitu will pick the player up as usual. This can also be done with a [[Super Star|Star]], but is harder to pull off.

-===Luigi's Mansion Freeze glitch===
-To perform this glitch the player must pick the [[DS Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]] track in any mode with any character and kart. Once the race starts, the player must then park their character on the stairs at the entrance of the mansion. After that, hold down both {{button|ds|A}} and {{button|ds|B}} to drift in place. If the player tries to turn, the game will sometimes freeze. This glitch was fixed on the Wii U Virtual Console release.
