Mario Kart DS takes the best of all of the Mario Kart games and puts them together in a game people will still be playing when the next generation of Gameboy comes out.
In an age of increasing style over substance and companies trying to extract cash from gamers left, right and centre for new "services", it’s truly heartening to see a game done absolutely right, and the setup around it also done absolutely right. Great stuff, Nintendo.

This game is very nostalgic easily has the best selection of tracks and has the most content. With the best battle mode and a full on mission mode with boss fights. It was the first game in the series where you could play online. A stellar game

Reason alone to own the DS platform. All of the fun that has been intrinsic to the series is intact, and the much-anticipated online component simply seals the deal. This is best game in the series by far, and perhaps the best kart-style racing game ever to come along.
A really fun driving game with lots of tracks and things to do. A fine example of Nintendo quality. [Jan 2006]
Mario Kart DS will be in your DS for a long, long time. [Jan 2006, p.104]
A classic Nintendo racing game cocktail with a twist of Wi-Fi.
Mario Kart DS is a polishing of the Mario Kart concept and little else. [Christmas 2005, p.99]

It's a good game, although a little overrated today. I personally enjoy it as a perfectly fine Mario Kart game, with a good roster, decent tracks, and goofy mechanics.

It has not aged well with its graphics, but what do I expect, its a Nintendo DS game. The tracks are not the best but there are some good ones. The character roster is excellent. The battle mode is amazing. And they should have kept mission mode in future games because it was so good. A good mario kart game but I don't see myself playing it again.
