I have alot of reasons why I love (and only one reason why I hate) MKDS, so I'm putting it all in a list.

Why I Love It

1. The gameplay is fun and intuitive.

2. The game almost always keeps it's framerate. (Unlike MK7...)

3. The controls are amazing and really smooth.

4. It was the first DS game I ever played.

5. Has a wide arrangement of characters that are not all duplicated. (I'm looking at you, MK8.)

Why I Hate MKDS

1. It killed my DSi.
