Mario Kart DS Cheats

To find shortcuts touch the Touch screen on some circuits to find them. These could be places you have never noticed before.

Dudes here is a guide on all unlockables in Mario Kart DS.

Here is all of the secret characters in the game and how to unlock them: (If you have Action Replay, you can enter this code "223ce2e2 0000007f" which will unlock all characters, cars & classes)

if someone throws a blue shell at you if you have a bomb throw it behind to block it if you have a banna [a 3 piece one] hold x and it should block it

as soon as you retrieve an item box rapidly press x and u will obtain the item way faster and somtimes if u want u dont have to press x right from when u get the item box u can press it while the items are slowing down, this will make it possible for u too choose an item. heaps fun and way cool!

You have to be EXTREAMLY GOOD at drifting. When someone sends one to you, start to drif, even if you're not at a turn (it would be easier if you where...) And when it's closing in on you, release the drift into another direction. This works well with Red Shells, and sometimes with Spinies. =)

I thought I'd make a contribution for this mission, because it took me a while to figure how to do it.

Ok, so when you start, drive around the stage and collect as many coins as you can, you need 50 to complete the mission. After a few seconds, king boo will come at you. There is no way to dodge him, so don't waste time trying. When he hits you, you will lose most, or all of your coins. And the screen will go dark. Then, you have to chase king boo and drive into him, then you will get the coins back that he took off you. Once you have them back, drive around the stage and get more coins. Keep doing this until you get 50 coins.

If you fall off the track or get stuck underwater for more than a couple moments, Lakitu comes to pull you out and place you on the track again. When he picks you up, wait until you're dropped onto the track again, then press the acceleration at that exact moment and you'll get a turbo boost if you timed it correctly.

When you get to the black tire thing what moves well ride over it its awsome!

WARNING: DONT DO THIS ON 150cc OR 150cc MIRROR OTHERWISE IT WILL COST YOUR LIFES!

In time trials,if you go around the track backwards three times and go one lap normally you will see lakitu doesn't come to change the lap,even the lap doesn't change.

WARNING: You will need to use the Dry Bomber to do so.

First, pick anyone with the Dry Bomber and then go to the DK Pass. Once you get past the falling snowball, go up the small snow hill, you will see a block there. Hit the block, and you will get Triple Mushrooms or a Star! You will even get Triple Mushrooms and Stars when you are in First Place! This secret is useful to get back into the game, or just to get very far ahead of all the other racers.

I hope this trick helps!

When game is fully completed all karts are free to be used by any character. You will also have new ending credits and a new menu screen.

Snaking: Like drifting, but more advanced.

You have to be very good at playing Mario Kart DS to do this.

Snaking is used when you're in a straight line, or straightaway. You do the same as you do in drifting. It's not cheating because you're no altering the game.
Anyway, snaking is the best way to get a boost.

The best way to see an example of snaking is to connect to Wi-Fi at either a hotspot (at a McDonalds) or at home, if you a access to the internet and have a wireless router.

Nobody has yet been aware of this, but when you quit a race online ether shutting down the DS system or not doing anything for 30 seconds and be automatically disconnected off of Nintendo WiFi Connection. This will automatically add 4 losses on your records. If you don't disconnect and you lose 1 race and won 3 races on the round, you'll receive 1 loss and 3 wins on the record bulletin. This also goes for sore losers, every sore loser that quits in a middle of a race online, they receive 4 losses per disconnection in a middle of a race. Good luck and don't give up,

First click on time trials. Then go to the leaf cup. Click on Mushroom Bridge. When you get to the little dirt path with the houses, go up on that path. That's my cheat/ hint for you. You can also do this with friends or by yourself with the coumpter players.

Tired of the old pic that greets you when you start the game you can unlock another 1! It shows a pic of all the characters in thin boxes exept mario... cause he's in his kart in the pic, and hes way bigger than the others.

In the race Bowser Castle there is a place were the floor starts turning. Then you see the path were all the other cars go but don't fallow them. If you keep turning around the corner there is a secret passege were there is a shortcut that helps alot. But the only thing is that there is a moving rock that can hit your car. But you should be able to get around the rock. Good Luck:)

In DK pass, when you go up the mountain, and you pass the part when the snowball rolls down the mountain, keep going a little farther and you will see a snow hill on the left. Go up the hill, and there will be an item box by itself. If you get it, you will get either a Star or Triple Mushroom no matter what place you're in (even in 1st place)!

Snaking is the process of getting mini speed boosts throughout a race. To snake you have to hold R on a turn and you should swerve. Then press the left and right arrows really fast. Blue flames should fly up by your tires and then red flames. To get the speed boost release. If you need a visual of how to snake. Go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnX4l8UoQUc

P.S. This is not me. All rights of this video goes to RanoNL.

Press A on the number one then take it off when the race starts. (Note! :Dont holdit on the number two because your tires are going to blow up!! )

At a corner hold R if its aright turn and L if its a left turn then rapidly press left, right, up and down in any order until you see a blue spark then a red spark and then let go of L or R to get a boost, this boost isn't as good as a mushroom boost but, it'll help!

When U are on luigi mansion place go up on the stairs and stop and the glitch will appear

When u are nearly at the raindow bidge on Delfino (spelling?) Square, there is a little shortcut that cuts across a corner. hope this helps.

P.S. u can rely on me cuz I have finished all of Mariokart DS except the Time Trials and Missions even though I'm a girl. All requests welcome.

when you start a race you know how it goes 3 2 1 well when it starts hold the a button let go when it gets to two once you let go of the button hold it down on two then let go and press and hold one 1 until race starts

Ok, on the missions, you knowhow you keep unlocking new mission levels after beat the last one, right? well, after you beat level 6, there r no more levels...... wrong!!! you know after you beat a mission you get a rating on how well you did..... Triple Star, Double Star, A, B, etc. and you know how after you beat an entire level you get a ranking on how you did overall on that level? well, if you get an overall rating of at least a Single star on all 6 levels..... which is quite hard to do....... that unlocks a new level.... level seven!!!!! And it is a very hard level compared to the other 6. Hope it helped.
