This is the end of year World Records compilation for Mario Kart DS, 2023 edition. A special annual video created to recap the last 12 months of intense record-breaking and community effort. These records all take advantage of shortcuts and an advanced technique called PRB (Prolonged Rocket Boost) to achieve the best possible times.

All time trial records in this video compilation are legitimate and performed on real Nintendo DS/3DS hardware - as verified by staff and community members from the Mario Kart DS Players' Page. There is no use of cheat codes, or external hardware such as an Action Replay when setting these records.

The high quality recordings were made possible thanks to a modified version of DeSmuME developed by @mkdasher. Video tutorial and download link found here:    • How to record Mario Kart DS in High Q...  

Big thanks to @pikalex04 for the ripped menu graphics used during course introductions.
