The '''{{wp|Nintendo DS}}''', or simply the '''DS''', is a handheld game system released by [[Nintendo]] in 2004. The Nintendo DS is Nintendo's fifth handheld system; its predecessor is the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It features two three-inch screens. "DS" stands for "Dual Screen" (though, at its conception, it was intended to stand for "Developer's System").<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170828215003/http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3904/p/606 Nintendo DS Frequently Asked Questions (Wayback Machine)]</ref> The system introduces many new features to the Nintendo handheld lineup, including a resistive touchscreen, visible operating system GUI (in the form of the main menu), stereo sound output via both the built-in speakers and 3.5mm headphone jack (a first for Nintendo handhelds, which previously sported a single mono speaker despite supporting stereo through the headphone jack), audio input via a pinhole microphone, and wireless connection capabilities. It is also the first Nintendo handheld to natively support 3D polygonal graphics as opposed to only sprites. The DS also introduces a feature known as sleep mode, where one can close the console and preserve its battery life, and in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', closing the system is accompanied by [[Mario]] saying, ''"Bye bye!"'' The DS (and by extension the [[#Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]]) provides backwards compatibility for Game Boy Advance games (though this does not work with the [[#Nintendo DSi and DSi XL|DSi]] models), although only limited to single-player experiences as the [[Game Boy Advance#Game Link Cable|link cable]] and [[Game Boy Advance#Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] support are missing. Similar to the [[Game Boy Advance#Game Boy Micro|Game Boy Micro]], the DS and DS Lite cannot play games made for the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]]. In March 2011, the Nintendo DS received a successor, the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. | |||

This was also the first system Nintendo made to go online, via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], of which ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' was the first to utilize. Since May 20, 2014, online play for many Nintendo DS games has been discontinued due to the closing of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw</ref> The DSi Shop was later discontinued on March 31, 2017, with the gainable points discontinued on September 30, 2016.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com.au/help/nintendo-dsi-shop-discontinuation-faq DSi Shop Closure Support]</ref> | ||

The {{button|ds|stylus}} '''stylus''' is a pencil-like accessory that comes included with the Nintendo DS system. The instrument is often used in conjunction with the Touch Screen. Usually, the stylus is used to make menu selections, which the player can do by bringing the stylus in contact with their selection on the Touch Screen. Additionally, the stylus is often useful for touching precise points on the Touch Screen during gameplay. For example, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' use the stylus for [[minigame]]s such as [[Wanted!]] and [[Roach Smash]]. The stylus is also used to control [[Mini]]s in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'' | The {{button|ds|stylus}} '''stylus''' is a pencil-like accessory that comes included with the Nintendo DS system.

The {{button|ds|mic}} '''microphone''' is a feature on the Nintendo DS. On the original DS, it is at the lower left-hand corner, right below the screen. On the DS Lite, it is at the middle in between the two screens. Its function is to accept audio input.

Blowing into it will allow events to happen in the game that the player is playing, including: | ||
*''[[Mario Kart DS]]'': [[Balloon Battle]] has the drivers' reserve balloons put into use by blowing into the microphone. The {{button|ds|Select}} button can also be used, but is slightly slower compared to a full breath. | |||
*''[[Super Princess Peach]]'': In the minigame [[Toad Jump]], blowing into the microphone is needed to make [[Toad]] jump over obstacles. | |||
*''[[Mario Party DS]]'': Some minigames specifically use the microphone, such as [[Big Blowout]]. | |||
*''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'': [[Mike]]'s [[Mic Rocking]] level revolve around the microphone. | |||
*''[[WarioWare: Snapped!]]'': One microgame on the [[Jimmy T|Jimmy]] Coaster requires using the microphone, to blow off a man's scarf. | |||
*''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'': [[Wicked Wario]] requires blowing into the microphone to make him fly. | |||
In other games, the player must say words into the microphone. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', the player must clap into the mic to gain inspiration from the crowd in Long Jump and Triple Jump. Also, in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the player needs to use the microphone at certain points, such as breathing out fire as Giant Bowser. | |||

There is also a [[stage]] called [[PictoChat]], based on the Nintendo DS's pre-installed communication application of the same name; the emblem used for this stage is derived from the two squares that replace the letter "O" in the Nintendo DS logo. A music track used in the stage, also titled "PictoChat", uses the emblem as well and features sound effects from the Nintendo DS and [[Wii]] menus as well as the ''PictoChat'' application.
