Mario Kart DS Details

Some of the juicy tidbits concerning the multiplayer aspects of Mario Kart DS have just turned up.

First off, Mario Kart DS will feature download play for those who don't have a copy of the game. While those without the game will only be able to race as ShyGuy, and the races will be 100cc class, you will still have a selection of 8 different tracks for you and your 7 friends to duke it out on.

Now for all you Wifi enabled people out there, here are the goods on wifi play. You and 3 other people will be able to play online. Your choices of opponents from the net come in 5 categories, friends only, rivals, recent opponents, regional racers, or world racers. There won't be any arguing over track choice either. You all vote on which track you want to race, and the one with the most votes wins. If you tie, our friend Mr. random will help you out!

This game needs to come out NOW...this new information just made the wait THAT much harder.
