This will show you every single step, and everything you should do to unlock all the characters in Mario Kart DS, and their karts.

Steps

  1. 1
    Try out some of the races on 50cc so you can slowly get your confidence and skill of the game up. This might take a day or two.
    • For the first cup, use a car that focuses on speed, handling, and items. Once you have mastered these three things, you're basically ready to go.
  2. 2
    You may use any character and any car. Try out some more races with the character and the car on time trials.

  3. 3
    Go on the first 50cc cup, and try to get the highest possible score. If you get a bad score on any race, which people will often do, don't restart, because you'll start in a bad place in the next race, and the game turns down the skill level when you start off in a bad place, and you get good items when you're in 6th, 7th or 8th place such as the Bullet Bill, a giant cannon which you hop onto and you don't have to touch your DS, because a giant rocket is streaming through the air, going the right way, and knocking people out its way. Even if you come in 3rd overall, it's a good start, and later on, try to improve that.
  4. 4
    If you get gold trophies on all of the cups, you unlock R.O.B. and you can use all of the karts with every character.
