As an adult i love this game even though it is meant for kids. If you can get two ds together you can pair them up and race against each other which is great fun. There are eight different championships to choose from though four of these are locked at the beginning and you have to win the first four championships to unlock the other four. Each championship has four races on different tracks to complete. You get 10 points for winning a race & the character with the most points at the end of the four races wins the trophy. You choose a character and then race against another seven characters hitting boxes along the way which give you special tools to either throw at other cars or use yourself to increase speed to enable you to beat your opponents. The courses to unlock are harder to complete than the first four but its all good fun. You can now buy the game pretty cheap so would definately recommend especially for younger children.
