Would you like to avoid those nasty blue shells in Mario Kart DS? Check out the blue shell guide at Nintendo's official forum for some great advice. Thanks to David for letting me know about it!

I stumbled upon a nifty Mario Kart DS Skill Calculator. Cool stuff.

Hey all, just some little random tidbits for today...

Check out what I found:
- Kid vs. Mario
- How Everyone Should Play MKDD
- SMK Animation

I recently saw The Date Movie, which was an okay movie, but the cool thing about it is that some people in the movie were playing MKDD. A nice little cameo there! And I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who checks out the ads and supports the site.

June 5, 2006
I added a ton of new fan art so be sure to see that.

In other news, if another web site is going to directly copy mine, can they please at least get all the proven information correct? Bowser has the highest top speed in SMK, not the slowest. C'mon people! ;)

Be sure to see our new affiliate, Mario Kart World.

Check out this new MKDD Mushroom Cup instructional video by our staff member, Lakilester86. It shows the easiest way to beat each course which is especially helpful for beginners! MKDD is in the top 20 best-selling games of recent months, so there are still plenty of new players out there.

And I finally finished creating the new MKDS Videos page, so download them and be impressed by the speed of the best players in the world.

Sorry I don't have those MKDS videos ready yet, I've just been busy. In the mean time, be sure to see our new affiliate, NintendoSource. Also check out this cool video which has some unique and funny Mario Kart racing action.

After a few great years of being hosted by Gamespy, I have decided to host the site on my own network. This should mean slightly faster load times and will give me more control over the type of advertisements that appear on the site. Expect to see a bunch of new Mario Kart DS videos within a week, and I thank everyone for the support!

April 4, 2006
The Special Cup has been added to the MKDD Track Guide, and I'd like to publicly welcome Super_Luigi_64 to our Staff. Thanks man!

March 14, 2006
8 new videos added to MKDS Movies. Hellz yeah.

Speaking of videos, check out this link of someone playing MK64 on a Sony PSP. Supposedly the player is using an emulator called Donkey64, but I have not been able to verify that the video is true. Thanks to DSNews for the story.

March 9, 2006
I wrote a new article called Mario Kart DS Snaking - is it fair?

We have another new affiliate simply called Fable. I'll assume you all know what video game the site covers. :)

March 2, 2006
We've added the Flower and Star Cup to the MKDD Track Guide.

We also have a new affiliate, Devil May Cry. The site has a great design and lots of content.

February 11, 2006
Check out the beginning of the Double Dash Track Guide.

February 9, 2006
I added 21 Mario Kart 64 mp3s. I forget who told me where to get them, and I apologize for that, but thanks again to whoever you are!

A visitor of our web site named Super_Luigi_64 is creating a great Mario Kart DD track guide. He already sent me the Mushroom Cup so I'll be working on getting them up pretty soon.

WiFikarts.co.uk is a new affiliate, so be sure to check them out. Great site!

I've brought back the News section, which you are reading now. I temporarily replaced it with this since I won't be updating as much as I have been, but after receiving lots of feedback I decided to bring back the News.

I'm an adult, so I'm more focused on adult things like making money and just having fun. But no fear, I will still occasionally update the site with movies and sound files in my spare time, and I'll use this News section like I always have. Just don't expect an update every day.

A big thank you from your friendly neighborhood Troopa...

January 11, 2006
Nice update...

3 new MK64 movies.
5 new MKDS movies.
31 new MKDS songs, sent in by Mitch Janzen!

January 3, 2006
I added three new Mario Kart DS movies and I also did some other little updates. I'm pretty focused on finding good movies of experts playing MKDS because in my opinion that is one of the best ways to learn.

This site was recently mentioned on Digg and other large sites so we received a ton of new visitors because of it. It was nice to see old visitor records destroyed, so thanks to everyone who checked us out!

I hope everyone had a good holiday, and will have a happy new year! I know many people received the Mario Kart DS bundle for Christmas, so if you're one of them I welcome you to the site!

The WWE is holding a Mario Kart contest, so check it out soon before it ends.

I just added two MKDS Movies and 21 kart images to MKDD Pictures.

A new technique has been found that lets you prolong the rocket start boost during the race in Mario Kart DS. Check out our affiliate's forum for more information, and you can download a video of it here.

December 23, 2005
I've added some new links and affiliates:

MKDS Sweden - a Sweden site dedicated to MKDS.

Nintendo Repair Shop - sells stuff to fix your older systems.

DS-Play - great site to find other Nintendo DS online players.

And be sure to see our new affiliate, God of War Empire.

I've also become aware of a problem with the site. It seems that some pages are loading things they're not supposed to. I figured out that my FTP client (FileZilla) has been renaming files all by itself. I'm going to be fixing these errors over the next few days.
