Perhaps that's the most remarkable thing about it -- even though I've fought my way through every cup and blazed a trail on every track, I still grab Mario Kart DS whenever I head out for the day. It's fun, fast, and truly indicative of the strengths of a portable system. What else can you ask for?
Ready for the stats?
Sleep time: Thankfully, the game pauses when you close the lid. The world would be a far darker place if it didn't. Can you imagine having to jump immediately back into a 150cc race?
Load time: A little over thirty seconds to start a grand prix, though you can probably trim it a bit by skipping the track introduction cinematic.
Play time: Usually around two or three minutes, though it does depend on the track size and how often you get hammered by items. I still shudder when I think of how many blue shells came my way last time I raced.
