Was I the only one who made lyrics to this song as a kid? Something about making up little lyrics to all the ds mario kart songs helped me focus in racing

[@laftrmastr]

What were they? I'd love to hear them! 😊

[@suritheirken6291]

So I wasn't the only one. I did lyrics for the GameCube and Wii ones though. I don't remember them off the top of my head but they were pretty cringy.

Memories of my first nintendo game ever. I remember playing shine runners for 100 rounds before I forgot to charge my DS, and then I would play on many tracks of my choosing, including rainbow road. I feel really old right now.

[@yoshigod-u1d]

this why mario kart ds is my favriote mario kart game

[@suritheirken6291]

This to me was the easiest Rainbow Road in my opinion. I remember when my DS broke and could only display the bottom screen, and I learned how to play while only using my map. I somehow was better at playing that way than I was from using the top screen. I was weird as an 11 year old.

[@stellaviewer9849]

The only thing that makes this Rainbow Road hard is when someone places a banana peel on the loop. Probably the most evil tactic in MKDS that I know of.

[@Draigarial]

I think it was Mario Kart 64 for me, shortcut aside, the fences helps a lot ^^

[@OreVYuss]

this was the first ever video game (that wasn't a mobile game like angry birds or jetpack joyride) that i've ever played. i don't remember much from what i've played, i don't remember when i first played it, or how old i was when i did, i don't even remember if i even had the game or if i borrowed it from someone else, hell, i don't even remember if i ever played on this track as a kid, but damn, what i do know was that this song is a banger. also i remember having to ask my mom to play the game for me cause i didn't know what i was doing. i only started to get properly into mario kart when i was 5 or 6 with mario kart wii. good times.

[@greatspaceadventure]

Man!!! This is such a good composition. It’s also a ridiculously fun track with the loopdeloops. It will be a sin not to see this make a comeback in wave 5 or 6 of Booster pass given that MK8 has potential to elevate the track further with antigrav (and also give us another BANGER remix). Also praying for R.O.B. as a DLC character 😭

[@BenDood]

Christmas Morning. I had just been given a pair of headphones. I had owned MarioKart DS for about 2 months, but never really played with sound on so as to not annoy my parents. When I did play with the sound on, it was very low and the speakers weren't that good. Plugging in those headphones and hearing this will always be with me. Hearing that bass properly for the first time, and the rumble of the engines was just AMAZING 🤩. Shame those headphones just broke. I miss you pal 😥
