Post-Final Demo Version

This article has a talk page!
view on tcrf.net

This is a sub-page of Mario Kart DS.

To do:

  • Europe/Australia DS Download Play demo - seems similar to this (USA ver.) but at very least has 2005 title screen date rather than 2005-2006
  • Japanese demo (A39J) - includes mission mode

General Differences#

  • No pre-game note appears; the game goes straight to the title screen.
  • There is no character selection, meaning Mario is the only playable character. Every other racer will be a different colored Shy Guy.
  • Course flyovers aren't present.
  • The only playable courses in this demo are Figure-8 Circuit and SNES Mario Circuit 1. Once you complete one, the next race will be on the other.

Differences#

  • Since this demo was made available in 2006, the copyright year was updated to 2005-2006.
  • The copyright text itself was moved up slightly and centered.
  • The white gradient on the top screen is now completely horizontal rather than being at an angle.
  • A banner with the text "Demo Version" was added.
  • The sound for selecting an option is slightly different.
