Getting Started

Insert your Mario Kart DS Game Card into your Nintendo DS and turn the power ON. When the system start-up screen appears, touch the Touch Screen to proceed.

On the DS system screen, touch the Mario Kart DS panel to display the title screen.

If you have set your Nintendo DS system settings to Auto Mode, the menu screen will not appear. For more information, refer to your Nintendo DS hardware instruction booklet.

The first time you play Mario Kart DS, you will be asked to enter a nickname after you choose a mode. You can enter any name you like, and you can even create your own unique emblem. You can change your nickname and emblem in the Options menu. The nickname you use will be seen by others when playing multiplayer games using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Any time you set a new personal record in a race, Mario Kart DS will automatically save your progress. Saved racing records can be viewed on the Records screen.
