Ranking EVERY Mission in Mario Kart DS

Mario Kart 8 deluxe is definitely the best game in the franchise with 96 total tracks to race on. However, that doesn't mean it’s perfect. Many people may say mario kart ds is actually the best mario kart game because of its exclusive mission mode! These were 63 different challenges which were really fun and creative, some of which even being boss fights! So today I thought it’d be fun to look back on mario kart ds to rank every single mission!

Low-poly Bowser driving backwards absolutely destroyed me what is my humor anymore

[@BlueMarioGaming]

I was hoping odyssey would mention that. Easily one of the best missions in the game for that alone.

[@kaplooeygames8515]

The forward chin thrust on every turn is crazy

[@fuhbox]

The only problem I have with the fake item box challenges is if you use the Double Screen to drive, you can very quickly realize it is painfully obvious to learn where the real one is. Another thing I'd like to mention, is by using the Double Screen, you can pinpoint that “troll” coin on Figure-8 Circuit

[@userMrZ]

That still is funny because it makes those who don't see it stupid

[@josiahtheawkward6008]

I saw a tweet saying “When designing a game, never underestimate the feeling of “But it’ll be really funny tho.” That’s how the MKDS developers felt at 3:55

Fun Fact: mkwii had something like ds's mission mode called "tournaments" and were only available when Nintendo's online service for the wii was up.

[@hypanusamericanus9058]

Mario Kart Tour also has Bonus challenges which are similar.

[@ethantreadway9478]

Mario Kart Wii was originally going to have an offline Mission Mode but was Scrapped, probably due to Time Constraints.

Can’t forget the custom emblems too

[@Josue_S_6411]

The next Mario Kart game could have a story/adventure mode that would have missions like the DS ones and also normal races and battles, they could even introduce a kart upgrade system to make use of the coins (not affecting other modes).

[@Josue_S_6411]

For those of you guys who try to "erm akshually" this comment, I checked all of the mario kart wii tournaments and you don't drive peach gardens backwards for any of them, so don't worry you're still correct.

I know, I KNOW that Mario Kart Tour isn't a mainline MK game, but it's still cool that it brought back most of these DS mission types in one way or another. And great ranking!

[@Megapig9001]

What I will say about 1-8 is that it’s an excellent tutorial for doing mini turbos, since most casual players won’t know about it. That’s how my dad learned how to do them for the first time.

[@thinkublu]

I was so proud of 100%ing these with perfect scores as a kid :) the nostalgia here is insane omg

[@smolboiproductions2984]

#63 gives me memories of me being unable to do it, because I'd played Mk Wii and 7 before it, so I didn't know that the mini turbo mechanics were different Thwnk you for putting it last :]

These missions are what taught me what mini turbos were!! I respect them for the tutorials that they are even if they’re boring lol

[@ToppyPotatosAnimations]

Idea: Ranking every trophy design in MK8D

[@starswitch1274]

There is a way to prevent King Boo from stealing your coins, but this only works if you've memorized where the coins are and fast enough to get coins. So the moment King Boo stops spinning around you, jump into the lava. And if done correctly, you'll keep your coins.

[@BigFearedBalloon]

I will say with the Mini Turbo missions is they basically forced me to learn how to drift, so while it's not best explain through the missions, I am glad it taught me how to do Mini Turbos as it allowed me to get pretty good at drifting in Mario Kart DS, 7 and 8 (never was good at drifting in Wii with the Wii Wheel controls though).

[@Purple_Puffin]

If you remember "at 200k I'll be ranking every 2D Mario level" you had a good childhood

[@josephsharp6221]

Here’s a video idea, rank every character’s crowd cheer in Smash Ultimate

[@Novum228]

The next Mario Kart game should add these back in the form of Spirit Races. They'd give you spirits based on characters from other franchises. For example, a Sonic spirit has you race against an impossibly fast character. Totally rad idea, am I right?
