I purchased this game for my daughter. I, of course a gamer myself, play everything before hand. Now, I do this first to check to see if it's a clean game for kids, as my daughter is 6. I also play the games to explain gameplay from a distance, so she can figure out how without me passing her levels for her. Not only is this a good game on the gameplay portion for the youth, but the story line keeps it entertaining. Also, this is not a simple game that someone with get bored with. There are enough challenging parts to keep the attention, and not to challenging so they give up. I would reccomend this game to kids of all ages. I can honestly say, I will play the game when my daughter is not playing it, so it is entertaining for the "grown up" kid in all of us as well.

Mario Kart DS great game
This is a great game. I had purchased this for my daaghter. We actually have played all of the Mario KArt's for all other formats (Super Nintendo, Wii, etc) I was worried at first, as there is a huge amount of need memory to play the game. I figured they would have had to cut some things out fo the game to make it work for the DS. However, that is not the case.
The single player game is pretty much in line with the others. It seems to almost change everytime you play it. Now, the multi player, with multiple DSs, is awesome. We happen to have a couple, and it's a blast. I love watching my wife and daughter play this. They will sometimes play in different rooms, but racing each other. It also makes the long car rides easier to dea with. They both get to play off of the same game.
If you are looking for a great game for any age, this is it.
