Best Mario Kart DS Tracks

True. It's easily the most original Mario Kart track in history. The idea of racing inside a pinball machine is just outside the box and pure creativity.

However, these pinballs can screw up your race a lot, and so can the flippers, although the latter aren't as annoying. But I'd say it's in my top five at least.

Finally, Waluigi gets the spotlight he deserves. This is the best track in Mario Kart. It has special item sound effects. No other track has that luxury. You know that this could be a theme for a Waluigi game. Come on, Nintendo. Make it happen.

My favorite track not only in Mario Kart DS but of all time. After playing it more recently in Mario Kart 7, this track never gets old to me. It brings back many great memories of Super Mario Bros. 3.

The design is also perfect with plenty of tight turns, awesome obstacles, a breathtaking cannon ride, and very awesome scenery.

This is an awesome track that I often use in VS mode. Just as the previous people said, the music is also very cool. It is one of my favorite tracks.

By the way, you can use the cannon to dodge blue shells. In total, this is one of my favorite tracks in Mario Kart DS.

It's a Star Cup course. You are inside a giant clock with a pendulum, cranks, time hands, and even two cranks that move you to get faster or slower.

Is there anything in this track that doesn't move?

There's no saying that Tick-Tock Clock will ever be a bad track. The music mixed with the clock hands moving in different directions as the laps move ahead makes the course a whole lot better!

Tick-Tock Clock is the coolest. I got 1:51 as well. There's not a better course than this! It's a great idea to use Mario 64's stage after the DS version was released. It's the best, and it's No. 1 no matter what.

Love the scenery, and it's very easy and quick. If you bump into the random boxes, an item might fall out!

Such a reference to Super Mario Sunshine, and a great one!

I think this stage is perfect!

Bowser's Castle is definitely the best track because it has everything a Mario Kart racer would dream of. It has windy roads, Thwomps that will squish you, moving platforms that, if you miss, you fall in lava, and of course, SHORTCUTS!

Bowser's Castle is the best track because other people can fall in the lava and get squashed by Thwomps, and their staff is hard to beat.

Long course. Could have been shortened, and staying on that pole is tricky.

Best Rainbow Road. The goofy physics on the loop-de-loops are iconic. I remember trying to lay bananas and fake item boxes at the top of the loops so my friends would fall off the track. Good times.

Psychedelic! I love watching how every three seconds my screen goes dark because I've just fallen off the track! Best track ever!

I can tell you that this is the best track in the game.

This track may be short, but it is a lot of fun. You don't spend too much time in the mansion, but the walking trees amazed me when I first played it.

This track would be #4 on my list after #1 Waluigi Pinball, #2 Tick Tock Clock, and #3 Airship Fortress.

Fun course! Watch out for the walking trees! Easily the most memorable course!

This is a close third in my opinion. I love the atmosphere and music, and it's such a joy to play! I think the remake is better, though.

What can I say? This track was absolutely amazing. The jumps, the boosts, the theme, the style - and best of all, the music. Made even better on MKW's custom tracks. I hope they bring it back as a retro track in MK8 (unless it's already in MK7, I haven't played it yet).

So fun, you get to jump off things and dodge things while getting mad speed. Very underrated.

This is my second favorite course on DS, but Choco Mountain N64 was not on the list.

Easily one of the best! The feeling you get when making that massive jump off the cliffside is amazing!

Also, it got remade before most of these other tracks, which proves that Nintendo believes it's better. And one more thing, this is the only track in Mario Kart history that has a secret mystery box that only gives you single mushrooms, triple mushrooms, or stars! It deserves higher than 9th.

Waluigi Pinball is very overrated, it sucks! This track is the best on DS and third best of all time. The music is amazing.

I don't know why DK Pass is ahead of this track. DK Pass is very boring, and I hate it. This race, Cheep Cheep Beach, isn't the best, but it is better than SNES Koopa Beach. The water provides you with a lot of shortcuts.

Very underrated as well. There's tons of variety in the beach landscape. There's a boardwalk, the beach, and the forest. A lot of beach tracks only have the beach, but this one has all three.

By far the most fun of the 8 download play tracks (Mushroom and Shell Cup).

Peach Gardens has a nice shortcut at the beginning. I never knew Peach had such a nice garden!

They've made this track better. It has a feel to it that can't be replenished in any other track.

One of the best Mario Circuits in any of the games. The aesthetic is perfect here, and the U-turns make this course really fun to drift on.

This is the first track ever made in Mario Kart history!

I love this track. It's the most fantastic track ever in the retro series. When I get past the lake, I bump players off the little cliff, and it's fun.

Mushroom Bridge has a great shortcut, but now you can't drive on the bridge, and no more mushroom cars?!

The music is interesting, but I would have liked color in the sky though.

Kinda overhated. Sure, it's a bit bland, but the music is quite good.
