200cc performs shockingly well online, although I feel like I'm having more dropped games overall than I had prior to the 2nd DLC wave. I will say that racing online in 200cc makes me feel a little better about myself as I watch other human players go through the exact same struggles I am.

Overview
Mario Kart DS is the continuation of the long running racing game series that began on the Super Nintendo. It features 16 new tracks as well as 16 tracks from the previous 4 games, with each set split up into the Nitro and Retro Grand Prix respectively. Eight racers are initially available, each with two go-karts to choose from. A number of characters and additional karts are also available to unlock. New items have been added to the arsenal, including a Blooper squid that squirts ink onto the screens of other players and a Bullet Bill power up that transforms the player into a giant, fast-travelling bullet on autopilot.

Old tracks, new tracks, more characters, more vehicles. This new Mario Kart expansion has it all!
Pack 2 beautifully closes the expansion plan designed by Nintendo for its (already exceptional) Mario Kart 8. The new characters and vehicles are flanked by 8 circuits - 4 unpublished and 4 filmed and revisited by the old episodes - which bring the total number of tracks available to 48.
If you didn't have a reason to return to this cool racing game before, you have it now. In any case, we will be happy with these fantastic new jobs.
