The original battle royale

Holy crap this brings back memories. This was my favorite gamemode. Block Fort was the best thing ever.

The memories of spending 10 minutes in the block fort map

This was the good old days 😭😭

I have a little trick for balloon battles. I always pick Bowser (or anyone who can shove people to the side with a little bump) and choose courses that can have you fall off the map like the Twilight House and Nintendo DS, find someone on the edge of the map, hit them with a red shell and just bump them out of the map for an immediate elimination. I cleared house under 3 minutes with that trick 😂

5:36. A brutal way to kill a CPU... 16:46 Nice banana placement... 18:08 Close call.... 19:36 Triple shelled....

There's a little trick you can pull off in Twilight House. Go to any of the corner Item Boxes Facing the inside, position yourself to the right corner [I recommend having something to protect yourself with, _this doesn't work 100% of the time!]_ Wait for Enemy CPU to approach from your side. If all goes well, the CPU will attempt to drive *straight to you, and off the ledge.* Younger me found this absolutely hilarious

I miss when Balloon Battle used to be about the last one standing wins! Mario Kart 8 for Wii U did bring back the eliminations, but the biggest new problem was that it took place in racetracks and essentially nobody liked that! And just when MK8 Deluxe fixes not only how many item slots you can use for storage (which is two), but also what stages do players battle on, Nintendo also took a step backwards by making BB purely point-based again, thus shafting me with what I can get the best out of a single battle mode! Stupid point-based mechanic! >:( I mean, I get that when players ran out of balloons, they had to wait until only 1 player was on-stage in order to continue playing like everyone else, or otherwise it be frustratingly boring, however both fans and Nintendo staff themselves should've realized that turning into a ghost (who can lay item boxes around the stage) would've been enough to make up for it! I grew up with MKDD's Balloon Battle, then DS also did it right, but now Nintendo's completely changed their conceptional idea! This is why I never understand why Nathaniel Bandy always complains that you cannot turn-off time in Modern Mario Kart's Battle Mode, since timeless balloon-battles wouldn't work in point-based versions if the match'll never end, and even if it's survival mode, the time-limit is completely necessary because of the aforementioned issue of eliminated players losing their patience in waiting. Why can't Nintendo just add a toggle to choose which version of Balloon Battle do players prefer to play, so that way it'll make everybody happy, JUST WHY NOT!?! 😭

So much memories😩🌸Sadly I Lost My Mario Kart Ds🤦🏽‍♀️It Was My Favorite & I’m 19 now so I haven’t played it in some years because I lost it

this battle mode is perfection

Ahhh the good ol days And this was the *real* Fortnite i played

I remember gathering up with my buddies when we where 5, syncing up with the Bluetooth and playing 4v4 on this..... unbeatable experience

11:23 Peach was having Vietnam flashbacks

This may not be the best Mariokart, but it definitely has the best balloon battle (and single player content for that matter)

I used to be obsessed with this 😭😭

The first Battle royale

I love the OG ds map

5:39 Waluigi looks like he get scared by that boo.

Wow this is nostalgic

a good compilation here, nice work central

The Best battle royale :D

I never knew how to hell to get more balloons, even though I blowed at the microphone couldn't get any balloon, my mic was fine

20:07 that's what you get for stealing my mushrooms! 20:11 and that's what you get for stealing my balloon! (On paid balloon day)

block fort is the best map

Cannot Believe Toad Lost The Battle On Block Fort.

Wow, I totally forgot about Twilight castle.

Memories flooding back. Playing again soon 😍

I really wish they kept this method. It makes me laugh so hard how the players are eliminated one by one.

22:47. “Fuck, no” 😂

This was a great battle mode. I preferred it over the Wii version as it had no time limit.

Memories of this game I used to play this all the time

I always chased first the character that I disliked the most (usually Daisy) until i obliterated them. Then I proceeded to play.

Brings back good memories

Wish they brought back one of these battle courses for the DLC of MK8DX and the balloon elimination mode

i miss playing this with my brother i still have my ds but no games because i had a card that had any ds game available on the back like mario party and some weird gta game

I loved this mode

Im getting the game soon, nastolga here i come

Every stage is awesome except for Tart Top, that stage just fucking sucks

0:25 How can I throw the banana

3:44 lol, Peach died

I used to drive on the bridges all the time in Block Fort.

I remember playing this, hahahah

21:37 Nice try, Toad! You lose! Good day sir!

I love balloon battle

Pipe plaza, tart top, and bowsers castle would be the best ones The beach one is so hard, especially when doing the star battle

Nostalgia 😭😭❤️

I remember putting the mic in front of the fan so I can get the balloons blown😂😂😂my game still works its just the Nintendo it self don't,but my favorite course was the block fort. I always waited around the corner to hit someone with a red/green shell.

I could never get my mic to work, so I just learned how to play without getting hit, or primarily used mushrooms to steal everyone else’s

Aww the memories I played this when I was 6 or 7 with my friends now I am 13 and I am so happy they upload mario kart ds videos

Who else remembers when you didn’t know that you could blow back another balloon after you lose one

THIS USED TO BE MY FAVVVV 😭 OMGGGG

Dude block fort was the shit

Madddd nostalgia trip

As far as I remember, you can clearly see the number of Balloons each Character has remaining.

I miss this game, this was my childhood game

0:36 Daisy. Oh No xD

I used to love this a lot, but it lost its magic after I figured out how the AI players worked... They don't actually try to attack each other, only you. So if they aren't near you, they don't use items and just drag them behind. They won't use them on other AIs when passing; if they hit each other, it's just in the process of trying to get you... Sucks how later balloon battles in the series instead make it about getting the most amount of hits within a time limit, making it not feel like a death match.

If you'd played this, your childhood was awesome.

7:36 karma

It was quite frustrating to watch this due to your bad gameplay. However, it did bring me good memories.

block fort was by far my favourite

I miss the ds one bc it brings back memories

Did u play this on Wii U VC

The block fort was my favourite map

when i play that game it only started me off with 1 balloon

Nice Game! :)

Mario kart is a game of my chilhood and me and my brother loved to play at this mode! My favorite characters in this? Dry bone.... I missed howerthere mission mode in Mario kart game😐

Is it me... or maybe it was a glitch . When in Pipe plaza, nitendo ds, and Twilight house, some Cpu gets stuck on the wall, for a minute or so and then disappears into other Locations

They seriously need to bring back the stages based on the systems

I really wish you could have different color balloons without stealing them

That's Unfair They Get One Balloon And Lose The Battle 🎈

I still have that game and I don’t have a DS and 3ds

I still have that game

16:27

Tart top was my favorite

4:59 Bye Bowser

Be honest, block fort was the best one

In Mario Kart DS 2005

11:30 Yoshi kart

Block Fort and Pipe Plaza for the fucking win, hands down

Ma che sei bravo a giocare👏👍👍👌💗

Cant be only me who was scared when i played twilight house

Are we gonna ignore the fact that Nintendo literally made a fucking console into a course back then..... I hope they do this again.
