Mario Kart DS Glitches (DS)

The acclaimed Mario Kart franchise has gone wireless with the Nintendo DS version, allowing Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Bowser and Toad to race against each other on more than 30 circuits, while bringing you the utmost DS fun you could ever think about. Still, with all the crazy speeds and items that can be experienced while playing Mario Kart DS, no game is perfect - we're bringing you a list of glitches you might be able to use for your own advantage.

GLITCHES

Upside down stage
Go to the time trials and choose any character and car. Select Rainbow Road for the stage. When you get to the part that is only boosts, crash into a wall and jump. It will appear as if the stage has flipped upside down. Please note: If you jump on the first area filled with solely boosts, sometimes you will just fly off into space and the stage will not flip temporarily.

Steal two balloons
When playing against another person, if both of you have a mushroom ram into each other. If done correctly, you should have stolen each other's balloons instead of getting your own back. Note: You can consider this a "trade".

Waligi's Pinball: Fly
Go to Time Trials and choose Waligi's Pinball. Wait at the flippers for a ball to appear. Note: Use the touchscreen to see. When it arrives, jump in front of it. If it knocks you into the activated flipper, you may go flying. You can tilt your car forward and backward. If you land next to the wall but are on the outside, you can ride on nothing for a short while. However, if you go too far, you will die.

Luigi Circuit GCN: Fly
Go to Time Trials and choose Luigi Circuit GCN. Do a U-turn and face the middle of the arrow line. Try facing left slightly. Yse a mushroom and jump when you are about to tilt. If done correctly you will fly through the invisible wall then fall through the grass. You will land back on the course. Note: This will not save time.

Backwards forwards
Go to any course in Time Trial mode. Turn your kart so it is facing backwards. You will have the Lakitu following you with the "Turn around" sign. However, if you are using B to go backwards, the game will count it as one lap, two laps, etc., but Lakitu will be saying you are going backwards.

Double steal
When you are in a Balloon Battle with someone else (preferably downloaded play), if both of you have a mushroom and they are used at the same time, you both will steal each other's balloons. Note: You will not get the balloon back that the other person stole.
