DS and turn the power ON. When the system start-up screen
appears, touch the Touch Screen to proceed.
On the DS system screen, touch the Mario Kart DS panel to

All buttons on the Nintendo DS are used to control your kart
in races. See pgs. 8 – 9 for more information about driving
techniques.
The first time you play Mario Kart DS, you will be asked to
enter a nickname after you choose a mode. You can enter
any name you like, and you can even create your own
unique emblem. You can change your nickname and
emblem in the Options menu. The nickname you use will be
seen by others when playing multiplayer games using
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
If you have set your Nintendo DS system settings to
Auto Mode, the menu screen will not appear. For more
information, refer to your Nintendo DS hardware
instruction booklet.
Any time you set a new personal record in a race, Mario
Kart DS will automatically save your progress. Saved
racing records can be viewed on the Records screen.
