Main Walkthrough

The heart of Mario Kart DS lies in its Grand Prix mode, where you'll race through a series of cups, each containing four unique tracks. Your goal is to earn the most points across these races to secure a gold trophy. This section will guide you through each Grand Prix cup, offering strategies for navigating the tracks and dominating your opponents. We'll cover the 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and Mirror modes, as well as the Retro Grand Prix cups. Mastering these will not only lead to victory but also unlock new characters and karts, expanding your roster and options for future races. Pay close attention to track layouts, item box placements, and opportunities for mini-turbos.
