Mario Kart DS Errata#

This page documents some of the mistakes found in the final release of Mario Kart DS.

Programming Errors#

This section highlights errors in the game that are a result of a programming mistake.

Flower Cup Cursor Bug#

When selecting Shroom Ridge in Time Trials mode, return to the track select from the ghost selection menu and the cursor will be placed on Desert Hills instead of Shroom Ridge.

Waluigi Sound Bug#

When entering an 8-player race with selected characters being Bowser, Wario, Luigi, Yoshi, DK, Daisy, Mario and Waluigi, then Waluigi's voice will fail to be loaded into memory due to the driver voice sound heap being half a kilobyte too small to fit it. The game detects this failure, and, rather than crashing, leaves Waluigi mute during the race.

Swooper Collision Bug#

When hitting a Swooper, its Y-velocity (before normalization) is left uninitialized, making its direction non-deterministic.

OK Button Animation Bug#

When preparing a VS or Battle Mode session in Random mode, after pressing the OK button, the button stops animating. It will not resume animating when pressing Back.

Design Errors#

This section highlights some of the design mistakes in the game that aren't a result of programming errors.
