!Backwards Mario Kart DS
version 1.1

As it says on the tin, every course has had the checkpoints, CPUs and some objects reversed to really one up how lame of Nintendo it was to choose mirror mode over this. This was the first proper entry in the Ruining Mario Kart DS Series

!Random Track Manipulation #2
version 1.1

A series showcasing random modifications to most of the Mario Kart DS courses in the base game, most of these were simple and were there just to test things

!Swag Rock Custom Track
version 'like2'.1

A custom track that's shape like that cool S, it is over Luigi Mansion, however you can play an older version with rMC1

!Minecraft World CT
version 1.3

A Custom Track that was ported from minecraft, probably the most well known thing I did as I posted it to reddit and now its on a video with over 2million views... ''how?''

known bugs:
-The fence can freeze the game

!Random Animations
Version 1.1

I randomized all the animations of the ingame racing, the menu animation hasn't been touched, I only made this into a proper short, however later down the line I streamed it to showoff every character. This isn't a great idea as MKDS doesn't have many animations

!Tiny Tracks (x0.2)
Version 1.3 (I think)

Every Mario Kart DS racetrack has been shrunk 5times, along with some modifications to the KCL to not softlock, do note you can still softlock if you fall off the course before the countdown, this can be fixed by falling off or getting hit after the countdown is over. Try and use smaller karts as tracks like rMB and F8C can be impossible

Known bugs:
-Waluigi Pinball is stuffed up

!Among Us Skeld
Version 1.3

The Skeld from Among Us in Mario Kart DS, is this joke still funny (was it even funny when made in late 2020?)

!!ROMs that I haven't yet made into the proper RMKDS format but should be on this page

!Bouncy

I replaced all the KCL to be bouncy, it's not that good and not fun at all

!Exploration

Replacing the KCL with all road but using the course model, this means if you can see it, you can drive to it.

!Kart Stat Shennanigans

A mod of random kart stat messing around with, egg1 has the best stats, the Dry Bomber has the worst stats, the Gold Mantis has curated best stats for MKDS sake, Standard MR has the average stats and Brute (I think, I'm not checking) has randomised stats

!Trickable MKDS

I applied the tricks [ASM by Prellit|https://wiki.dshack.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Tricks%20ASM%20%28Prellit%29] over the base game Mario kart DS Tracks, only the 32 race tracks have been done
