Top 10 Best Mario Kart DS Characters
Yoshi is a balanced racer in Mario Kart DS with good acceleration and handling. He is a lightweight character, making him agile on the track. Yoshi deserves his top spot. Nowadays, people play too much Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty to notice that those games are just run, kill, and die. All Mario Kart games are classics (heck, all Mario games in general excluding Hotel Mario), and Mario Kart DS is up there. Yoshi is the best Mario character hands down. He's adorable, funny, and fast. Sorry if I offended anyone.
Yoshi is awesome. I will repeat. Yoshi is awesome. You didn't hear me? I said Yoshi is awesome. Don't like the word awesome? Then I will say something epic... Yoshi is epic.
Does this comment suck? Oh wait, let me get back on topic. You know how epic Yoshi is? He's male. Males don't have babies or lay eggs, right? WRONG! Um...
Dry Bones is a lightweight racer with strong acceleration and off-road capabilities. His smaller size grants him increased maneuverability. Dry Bones holds most of the world records for Mario Kart DS because his epic off-road ability and astounding acceleration let him take easy shortcuts without needing mushrooms. Since his drift is fairly poor, you can use snaking on straight roads and get heaps of great speed bonuses. From what I've noticed, Dry Bones has the best Mini-Turbo, Off-Road, Handling, and Acceleration. Using Dry Bones, I've beaten some expert ghost data by up to 20 seconds.
I play as Dry Bones most of the time, and he got most of my stars on 50cc. He is so cool. Has anyone else ever thought that he was a dead Koopa Troopa or Yoshi?
Luigi is a medium-weight character with balanced stats across speed, acceleration, and handling. His performance makes him adaptable to different types of karts. Really good statistics (except for Drift), and along with Bowser, he's the character I generally win most with.
Very well-rounded character and good at everything.
Much better brother than Mario!
Waluigi is a medium-weight racer with a focus on speed and handling. His tall frame makes him well-suited for certain karts, giving him an advantage in certain tracks. My favorite character. Can't understand why anyone would hate him.
He is pure awesome. I can't stop commenting on him.
My spirit animal. Do not like his karts, though.
R.O.B., an unlockable character in Mario Kart DS, is a heavy-weight racer with high top speed and low acceleration. His weight class provides better stability during collisions. I like R.O.B. when he has R.O.B. legs and is winning because it looks like he's jogging ahead of everyone else in karts.
Fastest character in the game! Ever! Best heavyweight character in the Mario Kart Universe!
R.O.B. should be higher than this rank. Better than other heavyweight characters!
Mario, a well-rounded character, offers balanced stats in speed, acceleration, and handling. He is often a good choice for new players due to his adaptability. "Mario gets all the credit for doing nothing"
First of all, he saved gaming. He also risks his life for Peach. He is also the reason why this game exists. And what exactly did he do to get all this hate? Drug addict? Did you see Link drinking potions? Luigi does it too and gets a free pass. Plus he is controlled by the player, so the player is the bad guy. #LuigiIsOverrated
I like playing as Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, and Rosalina, but Mario is where it's at!
Um... why is he on here? He treats Yoshi like a slave and hogs all the credit from his brother Luigi. Boo, Mario.
Toad is a lightweight character known for his fast acceleration and excellent handling. His small size allows him to make sharp turns easily. This Toad is the BEST, no doubt about it. I love picking Toad's Mushmellow when I'm racing with Toad. The Mushmellow car is the BEST one in the whole entire game!
Toad has a little car, but it is really like super sonic speed. I always win with him.
Toad is so fast that I beat an expert ghost by up to 3 seconds!
Daisy is a medium-weight racer with good speed and acceleration. She offers a balance between agility and stability on the track. Daisy is WAY better than Peach. People are idiots because Toadette isn't in the game, so why is she here? Top ten lists don't make much sense anymore.
Princess Daisy goes back-to-back with Puff Puff from the Your Favorite Martian band.
Why is Daisy under Peach? Peach SUCKS and Daisy is the best girl in this game!
Peach is a medium-weight character with well-balanced stats, favoring acceleration and handling. She is a versatile racer who performs well across various tracks. Yeah, I love Peach too, but I'm sick of people saying she's a dumb character. By the way, it's not luck-based when Peach gets first. You probably just sit there the whole time.
Princess Peach is fussy, disgraceful, and cowardly in Mario Kart DS.
For some reason, she's always trying to hit me with a red shell.
Donkey Kong is a heavy-weight racer with strong speed but low acceleration. His large size offers stability, making him harder to knock off course. He deserves a place. There are loads of cool bosses he's encountered.
The Newcomers
Shy Guy is a playable character exclusive to multiplayer mode in Mario Kart DS. He is a lightweight racer with average handling and acceleration. He's way better than the other characters, especially PEACH. PEACH is the worst out of all the characters. Shy Guy is the best! Snake 1749
Bowser is a heavy-weight racer with a high top speed and slow acceleration. His large size makes him harder to push around by other racers. How is he #12? Not only is he the King of Awesome (self-proclaimed, at least), he's really fast and has good control!
Wario is a heavy-weight racer with a focus on top speed and strength. He benefits from good momentum but struggles with acceleration. How did Waluigi, R.O.B., and Peach get on the top ten but not Wario and Bowser?
They are like the two coolest characters in the game: Wario and Bowser. Put them in the top ten.
