Heh, i quickly deleted the game from frustration, and the fact that all my friends could dust me >.>

The best car with a beginner's data file is Yoshi with the Egg1...only if you prefer to drift during races.

Don't feel bad, those tight DS controls can make your hands hurt. I'm much better at playing with bigger controls, my hands are too big to handle the DS properly sometimes

I have skinny fingers...

Ya, I liked the gamecube mario kart much better, with the co-op and controller that actually conforms to your hand shape

Never played the gamecube version of mario kart, but I liked the DS version I didn't have much of a problem with the Ds buttons =O

Ye have big fingers lassy, me DS controls are true gold.

I'm getting to my old DS games again. I was playing Mario Kart Online last night. If anyone is interested, here's my friend code:

You just hand out your friend code like that? Wow. Someone would have to weasel it from me.
