Mario Kart DS is an odd game, especially when you eventually grind your way to Mirror Mode.

Unlike other #MarioKart games, the character doesn't seem to make any difference to gameplay. It is all down to the kart unless each character has hidden parameters that influence the karts stats that I am unaware of.
I know Mario Kart Wii does that.
But Bowser in the Egg 1, as hilarious as it looks, seemingly plays the same as if Toad was in there.

Another oddity that frustrates me is the rubber banding, nothing new. Mario Kart rubber banding is notorious.
But it feels like if you are able to eek out a sizeable lead, the AI gives up. But if they are visible on your bottom screen mini-map, you they will very quickly be trying to force themselves down your tail pipe.
You can be one of the faster karts, and the AI will outpace you in slower karts. Well, until they get a certain distance ahead of you, and they seem to also just... Quit. It's all very strange.
